Chapter 172: Chapter 171 Asking Edwin Blake for Money

"What! Really!"

Leon Peterson was ecstatic.

"Don’t use Lynn’s name, use my own. The timing of this competition should not overlap with the Chinese medicine contest."

Ivy River curled her lips into an amused smile.

"Alright."

Leon Peterson and Ivy River discussed their work matters and then left.

...

Isla Sutton was staring blankly at the initial version sent by Ivy River.

She glanced at some information on Baidu Baike.

Lynn’s design style is simple and elegant, but the final product carries a sophisticated aura.

Professionals find it captivating, while non-professionals have the urge to purchase it.

She pondered for a while.

Started considering adding some fortune-attracting jewelry on the tablet, and added many butterfly pendants.

In the end, she felt that the ornaments looked nice.

"Indeed, popular items are market-certified. Otherwise, why would so many jewelry stores sell so well?"

Knock knock knock—

Ava Sutton knocked on the door, cautiously poking her head in.

"Mommy, are you busy?"

Isla Sutton replied, "Just say what you want to say."

"Can you give me two hundred yuan? The teacher said today, if the book fee isn’t paid, they’ll take my books away."

Ava Sutton stood by the door, trembling.

Isla Sutton immediately questioned loudly, "What book fee do you need to ask me for? Why hasn’t your teacher called me? Are you lying to me!"

"Oh, you little thing, you’ve learned to cheat for money at such a young age, what else won’t you learn when you grow up? Just like your father, exactly! Just like your roots!"

Ava Sutton started crying, she had no ability to retort.

"Why are you crying? If you’re going to cry, get out. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be so poor now, having to pretend to be nice in front of Edwin, who am I doing this for!"

Ava Sutton sobbed, "For, for me... Mom, don’t be angry, I didn’t lie."

"Dare to lie!"

Isla Sutton stormed towards Ava Sutton and slapped her directly.

Ava Sutton didn’t dare to dodge.

She had to bear it silently.

It hurt so much...

"Mom, I—I was wrong, please don’t hit me..."

Isla Sutton’s heart was already filled with anger, she had no idea where to get the final payment for the bracelet.

And yet Ava Sutton was still asking her for money.

"Cheating money! I’ll teach you to cheat for money, not learning good things at such a young age..."

Once Isla Sutton was too tired from hitting her, she had Ava Sutton stand as punishment and forbade her from eating.

She lay on the sofa and started playing with her phone.

When she opened WeChat, she found that Ava Sutton’s class teacher had sent her many messages.

Even called three times.

A quick glance.

It was about needing to pay for book fees and materials fees, all totaling 205 yuan.

Edwin Blake only paid the tuition and meal fees when Ava Sutton started school.

He hadn’t paid the book fees and miscellaneous fees.

She glanced at the wronged-looking Ava Sutton standing in the corner, knowing she had blamed her wrongly.

"Ava, come here to Mom."

Ava Sutton quivered instinctively upon hearing her voice.

She cautiously walked to Isla Sutton’s side, keeping her head down, not daring to speak.

Seeing her timid appearance, Isla Sutton’s anger flared up, but then she remembered it was a misunderstanding on her part, and patiently asked, "You only asked Mom for two hundred, where will you get the remaining five yuan?"

Ava Sutton was a bit confused, her brain hadn’t caught up yet.

"The teacher said the miscellaneous fees are 205, where will you get the remaining money?"

Isla Sutton’s tone was full of interrogation.

"Oh, oh, it was Uncle Harry who gave me pocket money before, I—I still have five! That time Uncle Harry gave me money, I told you, please don’t hit me..."

Ava Sutton came to her senses and said softly.

Hearing this made Isla Sutton uncomfortable, she reached out intending to hug Ava Sutton.

But she dodged.

"Mommy, don’t hit me, I really know I’m wrong, next time I won’t make you angry, but I really didn’t lie."

As she spoke, tears began to fall from Ava Sutton’s eyes.

Isla Sutton’s heart ached, she directly picked up Ava Sutton, "I won’t hit you, I’ll transfer the school fees to your teacher through WeChat now. Next time, when you need to pay book fees or such, just come home and tell Mom."

Ava Sutton trembled, "I told you, but you wouldn’t listen..."

Isla Sutton paused, recalling that it seemed to be the case.

She awkwardly said, "Next time just say to pay the fees, then I’ll transfer it to the teacher via WeChat. I was too busy today, Mom didn’t check the phone, it wasn’t intentional, does it hurt?"

Ava Sutton got off and shook her head, "Mom, I still want to go read for a bit, I don’t hurt, you don’t need to feel guilty."

Seeing her about to reach the door.

"Stop, come back!" Isla Sutton’s commanding voice echoed in her mind.

Ava Sutton hesitated, unwilling to go back.

But she couldn’t disobey.

She turned around, eyes brimming with tears.

Isla Sutton frowned at the sight, "I’m not hitting you, who are you putting on a show for? Go and call Uncle Blake, tell him I’m not home and you have no money for food."

"Should I use my phone?"

Isla Sutton coldly replied, "Yes, say what you want to eat, then say I’m not home and not picking up, you have no money, ask him for some money!"

"What if Uncle Blake doesn’t answer my call?" Ava Sutton thought of the bad things she had done recently, suspecting Edwin Blake might not want to answer her call.

"If he doesn’t, come up with a way!"

Ava Sutton listened to her sharp voice, fearing another beating, she quickly said, "Okay Mom, I’ll get my phone now."

"Come here to make the call!"

Ava Sutton cautiously nodded, returned to her room, took her phone, and gulped down some water to calm her nerves before hurrying back.

"When you make the call, be sweet, don’t sound lifeless, remember to ask for more money, Mom is really poor right now."

Isla Sutton continued instructing just seconds before the call connected.

Edwin Blake didn’t want to pick up but checked the time.

In case something urgent happened, he answered.

"Hello?"

Ava Sutton froze, unsure what to say.

Seeing this, Isla Sutton pinched her, mouthing the word, "Talk!"

Ava Sutton spoke softly due to the pain, "Is it Uncle Blake?"

"What’s wrong, is there something?"

Edwin Blake asked.

Ava Sutton replied softly, her voice sounding very aggrieved due to the pain.

Upon understanding, Edwin Blake said, "I’ll transfer you money now, do you know how to order takeout? If not, have Uncle Harry get some for you, or buy some and bring it home."

Ava Sutton said, "I can, when Mom’s busy I order by myself, or you, Uncle, can also help me order."

Hearing this.

Isla Sutton was filled with anger.

She twisted Ava Sutton’s waist.

Who asked him to order takeout?

What was the goal?

It was to get money!

That girl didn’t follow the plan!

"Ah!"

Ava Sutton couldn’t help but scream.

Edwin Blake frowned and asked, "What happened! Are you alright? Harry! Go check on Ava Sutton..."

Hearing his loud call.

Isla Sutton panicked and mouthed to Ava Sutton to say everything was fine.
