As she left, Grace hadn’t brought her wallet and didn’t have any cash. She had assumed she could use electronic payment, but Logan had frozen all her bank accounts linked to her phone! From the time they left Morgan's house to getting into the taxi and arriving at Times Square, it had only been twenty minutes. Logan had cut off all their financial resources! "Sophia, do you have any money on you?" Sophia shook her head repeatedly, "I didn’t bring my wallet either. Where would I get money?" Grace was anxious and angry, "Can you use electronic payment on your phone? Logan froze all my accounts, but he can’t touch yours! Pay the taxi fare first. There are so many people around; we don’t want to be recognized." Sophia said, "Mom, I don’t have any money…" Grace immediately lost her temper, "At a time like this, you’re still playing your little games? Haven’t I given you enough money before? And now you say you don’t have any?" The driver, growing increasingly impatient, blocked their path, "You don’t look like poor people, how come you can’t even pay the taxi fare? I’m just an ordinary taxi driver, there’s no need for you to cheat me out of my fare." Despite her sycophantic behavior towards Logan at home, Grace had always maintained a dignified and noble appearance in public. She frowned and scolded, "Sophia! Pay him first!" "Mom, I really don’t have any money. Even if you force me, I can’t give you what I don’t have." "You…" Grace’s face turned red with anger. She lowered her voice and growled, "Are you trying to drive me crazy, Sophia? How many times have I told you to maintain your dignity!" Sophia looked aggrieved. She leaned in and whispered in Grace’s ear, "Mom, I’m not hiding any money. I gave all the money I had to my ex-boyfriend in Germany to teach Emily a lesson…" Grace didn’t believe her, "You can’t even come up with fifty dollars?" "I used to have it…" Sophia muttered, lowering her head in regret. "I don’t know what happened. After I transferred the money to him, all the money in my account was taken, not a penny left…" Grace was so angry she didn’t know what to say, "You only had one bank card? No other cards?" "There’s one more, given to me by Nathan. But you told me to destroy everything related to Nathan, so I canceled that card…""You…you!" Grace was furious. Her daughter was nothing like her, as dense as a block of wood! The driver, losing his patience, cursed, "Do you know time is money? I don’t have time to waste with you. Pay the fare now!" Grace had no choice but to try and talk nicely to him, "Sir, I’m really sorry. We left in a hurry and didn’t bring our wallets. How about this, give us your phone number, and I’ll transfer the money to you later." "Oh, that’s rich. What era do you think this is? You’re trying to scam me with that old trick?" Sophia quickly added, "We’re not trying to scam you. We won’t owe you money. As soon as we get money, we’ll transfer it to you immediately." The driver shook his head, lit a cigarette, and said, "Why should I believe you?" "Look at the clothes we’re wearing. Do we look like people who would default on a fare? This dress I’m wearing is Chanel’s latest!" "Chanel, my foot. I don’t know any Chanel. I only know money! If you intend to cheat me, then we’re not going anywhere today. Let everyone take a look—" The driver suddenly shouted, "Everyone, come and see. Now even scammers know how to dress up. She says she’s wearing Chanel but can’t even pay the taxi fare! Everyone, come and see. They’re heading to Times Square to scam people!" As Times Square was a bustling commercial center, there were many people around, most of them affluent. The driver’s shout attracted quite a bit of attention, and someone recognized them, "Isn’t that Mrs. Morgan and Miss Morgan?" "Morgan? Are they Logan Morgan’s family?" "Yes! Do you remember? We saw them once at a Norman family banquet! I thought Miss Morgan was lucky to marry Alex’s son, but she was scolded, and Alex’s son likes her sister!" "Hahaha, is that really true? When did that happen?" "Just the other day. The Normans are preparing for the wedding." "That’s odd. Miss Morgan married into the Norman family, so why would her sister have no money? Why don’t her mother and sister have money to pay for a taxi?" "Oh, you don’t know. Mrs. Morgan is rumored to be a mistress, and the Miss Morgan who married into the Norman family isn’t her biological daughter, so their relationship isn’t good…"Gossip was everyone’s favorite topic. Especially those who had witnessed the drama at the Norman family banquet were now happily sharing Grace and Sophia’s story with those around them. Grace frowned continually, pulling Sophia along, "Sophia, let’s go." "Wait!" The driver took a big step forward, blocking their path, "Pay the fare! If you don’t, you’re not going anywhere today!" The crowd was growing, and people were pointing and whispering. Most were maliciously laughing. To secure a marriage with the Norman family, Grace and Sophia had offended many people, and now karma had come back to them. Some people were laughing at them, and some even took out their phones to record videos. Grace said, "How about you call the police? We’ll explain it at the station." Going to the police station was better than being laughed at by so many people. The driver didn’t want to, "I need to earn money. I don’t have time to go to the station with you. Either you pay, or you leave something valuable with me. When you have money, I’ll give it back to you." This was clearly extortion! He definitely wouldn’t return anything! Even a hairpin they had was worth more than the fare! But this seemed to be the only solution now. Grace took off her watch and handed it to him, "This watch is worth over thirty thousand. Take it and leave quickly."
