Chapter 622
Aspen lay in bed, her eyes glistening with tears, her gaze blank as she said nothing.
Meanwhile, Irene and Leroy stood outside the room, peeking in. Irene asked, “Leroy, do you think Aspen’s brain was messed up from the hits? She hasn’t said a word since she woke up.”
“Mom, you’re overthinking. Aspen just got a few slaps, probably just a concussion. Nothing too serious.”
The mother and son did not notice their raised voices as they continued to discuss.
Christina glanced at them and coldly said, “Mom, Leroy, if you’re done, why don’t you go do something else? Aspen’s in a bad mood, so please, no more of your sarcastic comments.”
Irene gave a dry laugh and said, “Christie, if Aspen is awake, can she let me know when she will pay me back the money I invested in her?”
Christina frowned and said, “Mom, you know that money is gone. Why are you still asking Aspen for it?”
Irene pouted, looking displeased. “It’s lost, sure, but that’s Aspen’s loss, not mine. She can’t just bully me, especially since that money was meant for my retirement.”
Christina could not stand how shallow and materialistic her mother was being.
Before she could respond, Aspen, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Irene, don’t worry. I’ll pay you back every penny.”
Irene looked slightly embarrassed, forcing a smile. “There’s no rush, Aspen. I was just asking. We’re family, right? I understand if you’re tight on money right now.”
Aspen’s eyes filled with rage as she said, “That Andrew… I swear, I’m going to kill him. I’m in this miserable situation all because of him!” 1
Irene egged her on, “That’s right, Aspen. You need to teach Andrew a lesson and take everything from him.”
Christina frowned, “Aspen, I don’t think you need to keep messing with Andrew. As long as Dean from Madblade Martial Academy returns the ten billion, let’s forget about everything else.” 1
Aspen shot up from the bed, biting her lip with fury. “Forget about it? Not only did I lose all that money, but Andrew also had Natasha slap me in the face in front of everyone. Christie, do you know what that feels like?”
She continued, “Right now, I can’t think about anything else. All I want is to kill Andrew.”
Christina sighed. “Aspen, I think you’re too proud to even care about Andrew anymore. He’s nothing compared to you. He might have a little power in Jayrodale, but you’re the pride of the Stevens family in Bridgefields. Places like Bridgefields and Blumedale are where you should be building your future. Really, you don’t need to waste your energy on Andrew. He’s not worth it.”
Aspen gritted her teeth and screamed, “I don’t care! I’m going to kill him! I’m going to make him pay for the humiliation he caused me. If I don’t, I’ll never be able to live with myself.”
She pulled out her phone and immediately called Gordon. “Mr. Woods, where are you right now? I need your help to kill Andrew!”
