Chapter 108
108 Asking for Money
After a few simple words of comfort, Sharon quickly dialed Jenna’s phone. After all, in this situation, she would bring as many people as possible.
On the way, Sharon was constantly in contact with Kerry.
As Sharon listened to the latter’s crying, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Then, she asked Kerry, “What are you planning to do now?”
Kerry cried and said, “This is the first wedding event in our hotel, so I was extra serious. I didn’t expect my subordinates to leave a few days ago. There weren’t enough people tonight, and there was only one security guard at the front and back doors. I felt uneasy when I reached home, so I rushed back. I didn’t expect to see a mess the moment I entered. The flowers and champagne tower that I prepared were all destroyed.”
At this point, Kerry seemed to be on the verge of breaking down. “Sharon, what should I do? The brand my father left behind was destroyed in my hands. You’re the only friend I have left in New York... If it weren’t for you, I might’ve died yesterday! Why... Why can’t I get rid of that b*stard, Francis!”
Sharon sighed. “Jenna and I are rushing to you now. Contact the pawnshop or Fred first and sell the painting I gave you. Jenna will then contact the flower shop and order a batch of flowers. Of course, most importantly, can you be sure that Francis definitely did this?”
Thinking of Francis’s screams under John’s hands when they left, Sharon was sure that they needed to go to the hospital.
“I set up a surveillance video at the scene and turned on the recording. Although the person recording didn’t look like Francis, after they jumped out of the window and escaped, they reported it to him. Thus, I took the video and reported it to the police station. The other party said that they would handle it, but Fred seemed to have suppressed this matter, so...”
“How could such a thing happen?” Sharon was furious. “We’ll be right there-just wait! We’ll teach those bullies a lesson like we did in school!”
Jenna’s lips twitched. No wonder I felt that it was strange. These two women didn’t seem to have an ordinary relationship like they had only completed a group assignment together.
In the hotel lobby, Kerry sat on the ground helplessly. She was in a mess, with broken flowers and a torn wedding dress beside her.
She looked extremely pitiful and helpless.
Sharon couldn’t help but sympathize. A girl gave herself to a b*stard for her family business. However, not only was she heartbroken in the end, but she was also beaten!
Tears fell from Kerry’s swollen eyes when she saw Sharon and Jenna walk in.
“Sharon...” The grievances in her heart poured out at this moment, and she kept crying.
“It’s okay. He’s just a b*stard; he’s not worth your time. I’ll go hang up the wedding gown first. Jenna will go see what items can be repaired and not fixed. We’ll go buy new things now.”
“I thought that we were on equal terms, but Fred’s family actually looked down on me from the bottom of their hearts. They even thought that I married Francis for money. If they wanted money, they could’ve told me directly. Why did they come to ruin my business and make our family infamous for eternity?”
Sharon squatted down and gave her a hug.
When Kerry hugged Sharon back, the former carefully said, “Don’t worry, Sharon! I really want to thank you for always helping me when I’m in danger. When the hotel is on track in the future, I will definitely return the money to you.”
“Alright, don’t think too much about it now. Everything can be discussed after we settle the wedding.”
With that, Jenna and Sharon got busy.
Looking at the wedding dress in front of her, Sharon frowned slightly. It is actually so damaged.
Natsume’s words suddenly surfaced in her mind: “Some wedding dresses don’t need to be made so exaggeratedly. Get rid of the complicated parts and add some simple pendants to the rest to become like our RC’s dresses.”
At the thought of this, Sharon decided to ask Kerry if she had any crystals, diamonds, or fabric similar to this wedding dress.
She didn’t expect to hear a familiar voice when she reached downstairs.
“Then, don’t you have any explanation for beating me up like this?”
At that moment, Francis’s father-Jeremy-was standing beside him.
Francis was wrapped up and sitting in a wheelchair. He shouted at Kerry, “If you dare to get someone to touch me, you should know that the compensation will be considerable! I’m here to find the painting your classmate gave you! Where did you put it? Hand it over immediately!”
