Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Teach These Rich People a Good Lesson

Gabriella Dyer looked at Chloe Simpson’s laugh and thought to herself that Chloe must be so ecstatic she’s lost her mind.

Think about it, this is over ten million; money that someone like Chloe, a simple nurse, could never earn in her lifetime.

For someone as ordinary as Chloe, getting this kind of money could mean retiring early.

Chloe looked at Gabriella’s smug expression and reached out to take the bank card.

Seeing Chloe grab the card, Gabriella became even more confident, as if she could almost grow a tail and wag it high in the air.

Chloe glanced at the card in her hand. "Ten million, huh? That’s quite a bit of money. Definitely more than I could earn in a lifetime. It’s tempting, no question."

At this, Gabriella couldn’t hold back any longer. She interjected, "If you go ahead and finalize the divorce this afternoon..."

Chloe cut her off before she could finish. "But, the Johnson Family is Kyohai’s wealthiest household, the biggest investment bank in the country. Don’t you think ten million is a bit low?"

"Ha, seems like I really underestimated you. Go ahead, how much do you want?"

Gabriella sneered coldly.

To her, as long as it was a matter money could solve, it wasn’t a problem.

"Not much. But I think the Johnson Family can afford it, right? Let’s say... one hundred billion."

Chloe chuckled lightly, her tone indifferent.

"One hundred billion? Chloe, have you even looked at yourself in the mirror? A hundred billion? You? Have you lost your mind over money?"

Gabriella’s face turned pale instantly, and she slammed the table with a loud bang.

Someone like Chloe dared to open her mouth and demand one hundred billion.

Bear in mind, the Johnson Family’s entire fortune amounted to about three hundred billion. Chloe was asking for a third of it in one breath.

Chloe raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong? If Mrs. Johnson doesn’t have what it takes, maybe don’t bite off more than you can chew. The Johnson Family is supposedly the top investment bank in the country, Kyohai’s wealthiest family, and can’t even spare a mere hundred billion. And yet you think you can buy people off with money? Truly laughable."

The Johnson Family was so wealthy, wasn’t it?

Weren’t these rich people always thinking they could solve everything with money?

Always looking down on ordinary folks, thinking they could toy with people like her, a commoner, as they pleased because of their wealth.

Well, then she’d use money to teach them a good lesson.

"Alright, Chloe, since you’re so insistent on rejecting a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Gabriella, the dignified Mrs. Johnson, was utterly humiliated by a mere nurse like Chloe, her anger boiling over in an instant.

"No, Mrs. Johnson, I think you misspoke. It wasn’t that you didn’t give me a chance; I gave one to you, but your Johnson Family simply wasn’t up to it."

Chloe let out a cold laugh, turned, and walked out of the café.

In that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

All the pent-up frustration from being suppressed by people like Mrs. Johnson and the so-called Young Master of the Johnson Family evaporated.

Leaving the café, Chloe rushed back to the hospital, heading to the cardiology department to check on her mother Emily Sterling’s test results.

"Director King, is there any issue with my mother’s test results?"

Director King of the cardiology department was renowned for his expertise, so Chloe went to him directly as soon as she arrived.

"Oh, it’s nothing too severe. But your mother does indeed have heart issues; there are already clear signs of coronary heart disease."

"It hasn’t reached the point of needing a stent installation yet, but you need to take it seriously. Heart problems like this cannot be ignored. Try to prevent her from experiencing emotional stimulation. Keep her mood stable—extreme joy or sorrow should be avoided."

"We called you in mainly to remind you about this. Otherwise, it’s not a major concern for now."

Director King explained the situation to Chloe in detail.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Director King."

Hearing the diagnosis of coronary heart disease made Chloe nervous, but after hearing the rest of the explanation, she let out a breath of relief.

She thanked Director King and left the hospital with her mother’s test results in hand.

Meanwhile, Gabriella had been sitting in a café across the street from the hospital the whole time. Her expression was dark, her sharp, narrow eyes full of malice and venom.

When she saw Chloe emerge from the hospital, she immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Five minutes later, her subordinate called.

"Madam, Chloe just went to pick up her mother’s test results. It appears her mother already has symptoms of coronary heart disease and can’t handle any stress."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Gabriella raised her eyebrows smugly. What luck—what incredible luck.

Heart problems... unable to handle stress... very well.

She hung up the phone and immediately dialed Mark. "Mark, gather a few people and invite Chloe’s mother over for a little chat. Remember, it’s just an ’invitation.’ Don’t escalate things to the point of causing a death."

"Understood, madam. I know what to do."

Mark had worked for Gabriella for years and knew her methods inside and out.

"Oh, right, bring some money. Not too much. A hundred thousand will do."

Recalling Chloe’s earlier remarks, Gabriella added this instruction as an afterthought.

Hanging up, she picked up the bank card on the table and smirked.

Chloe, didn’t you say ten million wasn’t enough and demanded a hundred billion?

Fine!

Let’s see if you can even come up with a measly hundred thousand!
