Chapter 332: She Was Scammed!
"Okay."
Landon Ford laughed, "I’ll be back tomorrow. It’s been two days since we last saw each other. Have you missed me?"
Thea Shaw: "Landon, come on, you’re such a big presence, if you suddenly disappeared, of course, I’d remember you occasionally. How could I not miss you?"
Her current WeChat background is a picture of Landon’s abs.
Is it easy not to think of someone when you see that?
Even though she was honest, from her words, Landon didn’t feel any of that flirtatious charm between couples. He sneered, "You’ll get your due when I’m back."
There was still work to do on the other end, so Landon quickly wrapped up the call.
Thea remembered she hadn’t visited Lauren Blair recently, so she decided to go now.
Just as she set off and got in the car, she received a call from Yvonne Lane.
Yvonne had been chatting with her sporadically ever since they reconnected a few days ago. From Yvonne’s tone, Thea could tell she was unhappy with her life. But if Yvonne didn’t mention it, Thea wouldn’t interfere. Until today, Yvonne couldn’t hold it in anymore and finally said, "Thea, do you have money on you? Can I borrow some?"
Thea paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you need the money for?"
Yvonne’s voice was filled with a sort of melancholy: "Life’s been a bit tough lately, and I’m struggling to get by."
"No way. Just find a job and work hard, life will always move forward. It’s not like you’re incapable. How much do you want to borrow?"
Yvonne said she wasn’t working, so Thea advised her to find a job.
The straightforward kindness from their elementary school days was fresh and nostalgic. Thea was not heartless, and since Yvonne was in trouble, she was willing to lend a hand.
Yvonne didn’t expect Thea to be so straightforward and was pleasantly surprised, "Borrow... ten thousand, do you have it?"
This amount was estimated based on Thea’s status—given that she had a boyfriend who drove a sports car, she must be quite well-off, right?
But she didn’t dare to hope too much.
Thea said, "I have it. Give me your account details."
Yvonne hung up, happily sent her the account number, and Thea transferred the money, advising her to always work for herself and live well, without mentioning when to repay it.
Yvonne replied only a long while later: [Okay.]
Thea arrived at the Shaw Family’s house. Mrs. Blair was alone at home doing embroidery, and she was delighted to see Thea: "Your dad went to pick up your sister and will also buy groceries. I told them to get some crabs and shrimp too, so we can steam them for you."
Thea also smiled, "Great."
Thea chatted with Mrs. Blair, not expecting her to bring up Yvonne’s situation: "Do you still remember your elementary school classmate Yvonne? You used to bring her over to play. Such a lovely and well-behaved child. She moved away later on, but recently I’ve heard something happened with her family, and she’s been borrowing money from people without repaying, then vanished somewhere. Creditors even came to our town hunting for debts, and she used someone else’s information for loans."
Thea: "..."
?????
It’s not like she judged Yvonne by her appearance, but seriously?
Suddenly, she thought of something and sent Yvonne a message saying, [If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me about it], only to see a red exclamation mark appear.
Thea: "..."
Being used and discarded just like that? So quickly?
Thea couldn’t have imagined that the adorable and well-behaved person from elementary school had changed so much after growing up. The first thing she did after not seeing each other for years was to scam her out of money??
Ten thousand yuan wasn’t significant to her, and she could even help solve the issue if there was one, but she never expected Yvonne to outright scam her. This is just...
She, a fortune teller, got scammed out of money. Where does her face go?!
