Chapter 70
"Howard had an affair."
Coralie Chariott lowered her head, but she seemed indifferent.
"Oh. Fortunately, Andrew didn't cheat on me." Josephine Lowell let out a long sigh and she seemed
relieved.
Coralie noticed that Josephine was still wearing the coat that she had when she was in college, which
showed that her current situation was similar to her previous situation. She should have been able to
find a decent job if she hadn't wasted those years.
"So the reason you came to me today is... to talk about the old days?"
Coralie didn't mind talking about the old days with Josephine, but Josephine seemed like she had
something to discuss with her. However, she seemed embarrassed to speak about it.
Seeing that Coralie brought up the topic, Josephine, who was a little embarrassed, said, "In fact, I
wanted to ask you to lend me some money. You know that Andrew and myself are from outstation. We
don't have any friends in A City... We only know Howard and you."
"Well, how much money do you need? What is it for? Actually, I have just divorced Howard and I don't
have much money."
In fact, Coralie had already guessed this. Josephine was so anxious to meet her, in order to borrow
money from her.
"I know, Coralie. In fact, I have no other options. You know, Andrew and I have a tough life... anyway,
he recently found a way to make money, but we don't have any start-up money."
Speaking of this, Josephine's eyes lit up.
However, when Coralie heard this, she knew that there was something wrong. "Tell me the details."
How could there be such good things in the world? It was probably a scam.
"We are actually investing in rare metals. There are professionals guiding us..." Josephine explained
briefly to her. In order to persuade Coralie, she took out her cell phone and showed her the information.
"We have already made some money. In fact we have also cashed out some of our earnings. Look, this
is our earnings from last week."
Coralie saw the text message from the bank. Indeed, it said that money was transferred.
However, the common operational procedures of these scams were easy withdrawal of money at the
beginning. Once the invested amount became bigger, the problems will start appearing.
"Josephine, here's the thing." Coralie thought for a moment and tried to phrase her words in a
euphemistic manner. "If you have difficulties with your life, I can lend you some money, but I have
limited funds as well. We are friends, and it's alright for me to lend you a few thousand dollars, but if..."
"Coralie, I know that you think this is a scam, like the Ponzi scam, but Andrew said that we will not be
cheated, as long as we are not the last to exit the scheme. We are doing this, because life is tough
right now." Josephine collapsed suddenly on the table and started to cry.
Coralie was a little shocked. She didn't know if she said something wrong which caused Josephine to Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
cry all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry, Josephine. Is there something wrong with your family?"
Only then did Josephine tell her about her family.
Andrew refused to work and he kept thinking about getting rich overnight. A while back, he had some
problems at his workplace and he resigned to become a game streamer. Sometimes, his monthly
income was less than a thousand dollars. They also have a child who was only one year old. They
needed money, and this was the reason why they thought of this idea.
"How could he do this? He's already a father. Besides, game streamers usually work at night? He could
still get a full-time job."
Coralie frowned. She also knew a little about streaming. Most people did this as a part-time job.
"I did speak to him about this, but he didn't listen to me. Now, I'm at work during the day, and my
mother helps me take care of the child. When I go home at night, I'll clean up the house. Whenever I
ask him to help out, he will say that he's working and making money... I have thought of getting a
divorce, but my child is only one year old. I don't want him to grow up without father."
Josephine needed a confidante to complain about these matters. She couldn't help telling Coralie
everything that was in her mind. As she spoke, tears were already welling in her eyes.
Coralie looked at her, and she felt a little distressed.
Actually, Josephine was not bad-looking. Many men chased after her in college, but she was already
together with Andrew since high school. They had been dating for almost ten years. At this point,
Coralie envied them very much.
"Josephine, I didn't get anything when I divorced Howard, and I don't have much money with me. I'll
lend you 2,000 dollars to ease your cash flow, but promise me that you will not invest this in that rare
metals project. Go back and persuade Andrew to take up the responsibilities of being a husband."
After saying that, Coralie transferred 2,000 dollars to Josephine without hesitation.
She knew that 2,000 dollars might not be of much help, but she used her own funds. She did not dare
to use the card that Skylar had given her previously.
Josephine hesitated for a moment before accepting the money. "Thank you, Coralie. In fact, I haven't
contacted you for a long time, and now I am asking you for money. It's so embarrassing."
Coralie looked at her. Her beautiful face was so gaunt now, and there were wrinkles around her eyes.
The beautiful long hair she had was cut short, probably for convenience.
Looking at Josephine' condition, she really wanted to help her.
......
After Coralie met Josephine, she limped back home. When she was about to arrive at the community,
she saw a sapphire blue sports car parked at the entrance. Coralie immediately recognized that it was
Skylar Holland's car.
However, there were two people sitting in the car.
Coralie looked from a distance. The person in the passenger seat was a woman.
When the car stopped, both of them opened the door. Coralie then saw clearly that it was Skylar in the
driver's seat and Valerie Rae in the passenger seat.
Coralie's position happened to be behind Skylar, when Valerie looked up, she saw Coralie limping in
the distance.
After seeing her, she had a cunning smile on her face. After taking the key from Skylar, she hugged him
suddenly and said something to Skylar close to his ear, before she walked away.
However, from Coralie's angle, it looked like they were kissing.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Skylar's words from last night crossed her mind.
"Well, he doesn't like me. What does these things have to do with me?"
Coralie shook her head and waited for Valerie to drive away his car. After Skylar entered the
community, she limped in.
When she arrived home, she saw Skylar standing at the entrance, as if he was waiting for her.
"Why didn't you go in?"
Coralie was stunned when she saw Skylar standing at the door.
"I'm waiting to see if you'll come back."
In fact, Valerie had just whispered in his ear. She said, "I see that Miss Chariott is not far away. She
cares about you so much, so she might get angry seeing us together. Remember to explain to her
about this when you get home."
She tried to influence him, so that he would think of Coralie as an unreasonable person.
However, Coralie looked at him and thought of the scene just now. Her expression was extremely calm.
"Of course I'm coming back, or would you have preferred otherwise?"
