Chapter 591 Didn't Have Much Money Left.
"Didn't you just say that I should pay you some of it first? I only have this card with me, and this is what's left."
However, Forbos smiled obsequiously and said, "Don't you still have a cheque for 20 million dollars? You can give the check..."
Before he could finish his words, Evelyn took another step back while clutching her bag, and quickly picked up the knife she had placed on the cabinet.
Then, with a cold gaze, she looked at him while holding the knife in front of her chest vigilantly.
"No way. You are on guard against me? Don't you think that I should be on guard against you too? If I pay you 20 million right now, and you don't show up tomorrow, it's basically a one-way street!"
As soon as she said that, Forbos choked up.
Needless to say that this was actually what he had in mind.
If he couldn't get 50 million, he would've been happy with the 20 million dollars.
After all, as long as he didn't divorce her mother, he could manipulate Evelyn as he liked.
But he didn't expect that his idea would be exposed by Evelyn without mercy.
Feeling embarrassed, he was also furious.
But there was no other way.
After all, he had limited courage. He did not dare to do anything to Evelyn here. Otherwise, if she called the security guards, he would not be able to leave.
Therefore, he could only take the credit card and said disgustedly, "Fine, fine. Two hundred thousand it is. I'll come back tomorrow to get the rest."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
It was only after Evelyn saw him off that she ran over in a hurry and closed the door.
Then, she collapsed to the floor, leaning against the door, as she sat powerlessly.
Silence returned to the room. However, at this moment, she was completely exhausted from dealing with Forbos.
Sitting there, she closed her eyes, then opened them again.
Looking at her cell phone that she had been holding tightly in her hand, she saw Marty's number on the phone, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn't call him in the end.
The next day.
Evelyn woke up very early.
Maybe it was because she was frightened last night, she didn't have a good night sleep.
Her mind was full of scenes of being beaten and scolded by Forbos when she was a child.
When she woke up, she had dark circles around both of her eyes. At first glance, it was obvious that she had a nightmare.
Helplessly, she had no choice but to put on some makeup before she left with her bag.
Evelyn didn't go anywhere else but drove directly to St. Peter Hospital.
At this time, in the hospital, her mother was chatting with the nurses.
Compared to the previous hospital that she stayed in, the doctors and nurses here were so much better in terms of their attitude and quality.
Although her mother had suffered a lot in the past few years, she was born in a rich family, so she had a lot of common topics with them.
While they were chatting, they saw Evelyn entering the ward.
"Eh? Evelyn, why are you here?"
Because Evelyn had just been here two days ago, she thought that she would not come back so soon.
It was already very late when Evelyn sent Forbos away last night.
In order not to disturb her mother's rest, she did not call to tell her about it.
Furthermore, this matter might not be made clear on the phone. If Evelyn told her in advance, she might be even more worried.
Therefore, Evelyn thought it would be better to tell her directly when she came over.
Hence, when Evelyn saw her mother, she smiled and said, "It's my off day, and I have nothing to do, so I just come to see you."
The nurse, who was chatting with her mother, stood up with a smile when she saw Evelyn coming in.
"Since Miss Hussain is here, we shall leave you alone."
In fact, Iris had been chatting with them for a long time, and she felt a little embarrassed.
So, upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Go ahead. Don't delay your work because of me. Sorry to keep you here for so long."
The nurses all smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We're not busy anyway. You are the only patient in the VIP ward on this floor, so we have a lot of free time."
It was unknown whether the business of the hospital was really bad or Marty deliberately did it.
In short, Iris was the only one staying in the ward on the whole floor, and the others were all empty.
But Evelyn guessed that it might be because of her identity and that Marty didn't want others to know that her mother was in the hospital, so he blocked the whole floor to prevent any news leaking.
However, she did not think too much about it.
After the nurses left, she sat down in a chair beside the bed and said to his mother, "Mom, I came here today to talk to you about something."
Meanwhile, Iris was about to peel the apple for her. Hearing this, she looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Pursing her lips, Evelyn recalled her mental note before saying, "Forbos promised to get a divorce with you last night."
As soon as she finished her words, her mother was completely shocked.
And the apple that she was peeling dropped to the floor.
Looking at the apple that fell on the ground, Evelyn pursed her lips and bent down to pick it up.
Then, she got up and went to the bathroom. After washing the apple, she returned and sat down on the chair.
Instead, she took over the fruit knife from her mother's hand and peeled the apple herself.
While peeling the apple, she said, "This is has been your wish for so many years. Now that he finally agreed, we will finally have peace in the future."
At that moment, Iris's fingertips trembled slightly, and she looked at her motionlessly.
Her pale face had suddenly become as white as a sheet, and her face devoid of even the slightest trace of blood.
After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "What did he say to you?"
Hearing that, Evelyn looked at her calmly.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to hide the truth from her mother.
50 million. After all, it was not a small sum, and she didn't have that amount of money. If she wanted to make a real deal with Forbos, she had to raise a portion of that money somewhere else.
Therefore, no matter what, her mother would find out about this matter anyway.
So, without hiding anything, she told her mother about the deal they struck last night.
As soon as she finished her words, her mother screamed.
"I don't agree!"
Immediately, Evelyn turned around and looked outside. When she noticed that no one was paying attention to her, she raised her hand quickly and covered her mother's mouth.
Then, she whispered, "Mom, lower your voice. The public cannot know about this."
It was not until then that Iris came around and realized that was too loud earlier. If someone found out about this, she would only bring trouble to Evelyn.
So abruptly, she raised her hand and covered her mouth with fear.
After she calmed down, she said to Evelyn anxiously, "Evelyn, you can't agree to his request. It is 50 million, not 5 million. How are you going to find such a large sum of money? I don't agree with you!"
In fact, Iris was right. The money that Evelyn earned these years had either been blackmailed by Forbos or it was used for her mother's treatment. She didn't have much money left.
