NovelBookChapter 406 Previously, Victoria had extorted 500 thousand dollars from Nadine with blackmail. Two days had passed and it seemed Nadine had no intention of paying. Seeing her indifferent attitude, Victoria believed that Nadine had secretly told on her to Sophie.
Even though Sophie was old, she was Victoria's only relative. If Sophie spoke out against her actions, it would mean Victoria's efforts were in vain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs such, Victoria was highly vigilant upon seeing Nadine appear in Sophie's ward. She even seemed intent on forcing Nadine to leave.
Sophie was blind but still had her hearing. She coughed and scolded Victoria, "Victoria, how can you speak to Nad like that? "Nad is an outsider, yet she treatsbetter than you do, my own granddaughter. She's more considerate and closer tothan you are. You shouldn't treat her this way." As Sophie spoke, she reached out toward where Nadine was standing, her hand feeling around. "Nad, cover here. Cto me." Nadine smiled slightly, casting a sidelong glance at the irate Victoria, completely unfazed by her provocation. Nadine went to Sophie's side and took her hand. She spoke gently, "Grandma Sophie, you shouldn't speak ill of Victoria. She is also your granddaughter. She's been putting in a lot of effort to raise funds for your medical expenses." Sophie was blind, so Nadine held her hand while raising an eyebrow at Victoria. Nadine had inquired about the cost of the surgery, which was more than enough at 300 thousand dollars. So why did Victoria say it was 500 thousand dollars? Nadine highly suspected that Victoria was pocketing the difference.
Victoria beceven more alert when Nadine mentioned the medical expenses. She glared at Nadine and warned in a low voice, "Stop making baseless accusations." Nadine knew what Victoria was thinking but decided to confront her anyway. "Grandma Sophie, I've looked into it. Your surgery isn't overly expensive. If you agree to the treatment, you'll definitely recover." Hearing that her illness could be treated, Sophie was overjoyed. She clutched Nadine's hand tightly, repeatedly expressing her gratitude. "Nad, you've been so kind. I really can't thank you enough. My surgery must cost a lot, right?" Sophie wasn't foolish. She had asked the doctor about the surgery's cost when the doctor cto check on her. It was around 300 thousand dollars.
Sophie knew that Victoria couldn't afford that amount and had already lost hope of receiving the treatment. Sophie even told the doctor that she felt fine and asked to be discharged.
Nadine smiled and didn't respond directly. Instead, she glared at Victoria. "It's not a lot of money.
Don't worry, Grandma Sophie, met long as you can be treated, the cost doesn't matter. Victoria has already raised the funds and paid for your treatment."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNadine didn't want Sophie to overthink. Thus, she didn't mention that she had covered the medical expenses herself, attributing it to Victoria instead. This left Victoria utterly confused.
After cheering Sophie up for a while, Nadine said her goodbyes and left to return to work. As she was leaving Sophie felt grateful and insisted that Victoria saw Nadine out. The two of them left with smiles on the faces, appearing to be on good terms.
But once they were outside the ward and sure Sophie couldn't hear them, Ο Victoria demanded. Nadine, what is the meaning of this? Where would I get the money to pay for Grandma's surgery?" Nadine shot her a cold look. With her hands in her pockets, she looked down at Victoria with warning in her eyes. "Don't think I don't know why you asked for 500 thousand dollars.
"I've covered Grandma Sophie's medical expenses. You can't extortanymore. The next tyou decide to blackmail someone, check if you have the capability to follow through first." Victoria's face flushed as she glared viciously at Nadine. "One more word and I'll tell that man about your past."
