"Cut ties?" Grace let out a cold laugh, "Bobby, did Logan really say that?" Bobby was firm. "That's right. It's Mr. Morgan's exact words. I'm just repeating them to you." "Fine, very well," Grace was trembling with anger, "Bobby, I've always treated you well. Surely, there's some feeling between us? Transfer me ten thousand. I need money." Bobby laughed mockingly, "You're wrong there. Without Mr. Morgan, I wouldn't even know you. Can you help me with my dissertation? Can you help me graduate? You can't do anything for me, so why should I give you ten thousand?" Grace felt the frustration choking her. Bobby had been working under Logan since his undergraduate years, continuing through his master's and doctoral studies. They had known each other for ten years. Every time Bobby saw her, he was always attentive, almost treating her like a second mother! No wonder Bobby was Logan's student; they were both equally selfish! Swallowing her anger, Grace forced herself to remain calm and continued, "Bobby, do you think I can't go back to the Morgan house?" Bobby laughed, "Grace, I have no idea what you're talking about." "Stop pretending. Bobby, let me tell you, Logan won't divorce me that easily. He will definitely come begging to me! And when that happens, don't blame me for being ruthless." Beep beep beep— The call abruptly ended. Grace was furious. Bobby dared to hang up on her? "Mom, did you find anyone to borrow money from?" Sophia asked cautiously, her arms crossed in front of her. The street was getting busier, with more people holding up their phones, pointing at them. Sophia felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing she could dig a hole to hide in and leave these annoying onlookers behind. Grace rolled her eyes, "He's really cut us off." "Should we beg that taxi driver...?"Grace glared at her, "What about your German ex-boyfriend? Didn't he love you a lot? Getting some money from him shouldn't be a problem, right?" Sophia hesitated, "He... he should be with Emily right now..." "We need to solve the immediate problem first," Grace urged her, frowning, "Call him now!" Sophia had no choice but to dial the international number. No one answered for a long time. Grace was staring at her intensely. Sophia bit her lip anxiously, but still, no one picked up. "What's going on?" Sophia gritted her teeth, murmuring softly, "He used to answer me very quickly, but today, I don't know what's going on..." Suddenly, the phone connected. Sophia was thrilled, speaking in broken German, "Uh, Paul, is that you? I'm Sophia. I'm facing some difficulties and need your help. Can you send me a thousand euros?" There was silence on the other end for a long time. Sophia had a bad feeling. She called again, "Paul?" There is a woman's voice answered in English. Why was there a strange woman's voice? And why was she speaking English? Sophia demanded, "Who are you? Why are you answering Paul's phone?" The woman chuckled lightly, "I was confused at first, but picking up your call made everything clear." Sophia snapped, "Who are you? Why won't you tell me?" "I have no reason to tell you," the woman retorted, "Rest assured, Paul won't give you any money. Give up any hope." Sophia clenched her fists, "Who are you to him? His new girlfriend? Paul and I truly loved each other. He's been waiting for me all these years. Give him the phone, and I'll tell him myself!" The woman seemed to find this amusing, "Come on, Sophia. Who told you there was any love between you? Paul waited for me for ten years. We just got back together. It's none of your business." "You..." Click, click, click... The call was cut off again. Sophia frantically dialed again, but she had no credit left. She couldn't make any more calls. She had forgotten. She had just made an international call! She had used up all her phone credit! She couldn't contact anyone now! Sophia felt like crying! She couldn't even face Grace's eyes... The taxi driver couldn't wait any longer and started cursing, "How long are you going to drag this out?" "Mom, why don't we call Emma? Isn't she close to you? Even though she's abroad, she could help us!" "Are you stupid? Don't you know why Emma went abroad?" Grace snapped. Emily was investigating her mother's death. She still had the Norman family backing her up. Emma fled abroad to avoid detection. If she showed up at the bank or her phone signal was exposed, she'd likely be caught! Emma couldn't risk showing herself! Drip, drip, drip, drip... The piercing sound of car horns rang out. Today, Jackson was driving an orange Ferrari. He was blocked on this road. "What are you all doing here? Both lanes are blocked, and no traffic cops in sight?" Jackson was obviously not someone to mess with. People started moving back slowly. Grace and Sophia stood in the middle of the road. Jackson squinted and looked around, suddenly laughing, "It's Morgan's wife here. You bought a car from my company a few months ago. What are you doing standing in the middle of the road?"The driver heard this and quickly said, "Do you know them, sir?" Jackson took off his sunglasses, revealing sharp eyes fixed directly on Sophia, as if he wanted to poke a few holes in her. "I certainly know them."
