Chapter 402

[ 681 words ]

Stella listened to the hint of schadenfreude in Susanna’s voice and thought for a moment before saying, “Probably because of the millions in medical bills.” Susanna exclaimed, “Millions? For medical bills?”

Was that for real?

“Did they find a way to save Ursula? Oh dear, please don’t let her get a chance to survive.”

Someone like Ursula deserved to be tormented and meet her end in agony.

Stella replied, “Sort of.”

Susanna addressed, “Oh? They actually found something?” Her voice was tinged with disappointment.

Stella continued, “But finding it is pretty much the same as not finding it. It’s just a glimmer of hope.”

And what awaited them was an even bigger despair.

Susanna urged, “Spill it clearly, and all at once, don’t keep me on this emotional rollercoaster. My heart can’t take it.”

Seeing how eager Susanna was, Stella couldn’t help but chuckle, “Tegan came back home. She went to visit the Larkin family and take a look at Ursula.” “Wait, why did she visit Ursula? What actually happened during my absence? Why would Tegan want to see Ursula?”

Susanna was getting worked up, even a bit angry.

The Larkin family had been backed into a corner lately, with no way in or out. They couldn’t get into the hospital, and doctors wouldn’t visit them either.

In Susanna’s eyes, this was karma for the Larkin family, and they deserved it. But now Stella was saying Tegan went to check Ursula?

Susanna wasn’t happy about it.

Stella realized Susanna misunderstood and explained everything that happened. “Why are you getting upset? Do you really think Tegan needs their little bit of medical money?”

Then she explained the whole situation. Basically, Tegan didn’t want to go, but Stella, feeling a bit bored, convinced her to make the trip. And Tegan’s visit actually gave the Larkin family a shred of hope, but it came with a staggering price tag. When Susanna heard about the pills costing five hundred thousand each, to be taken over a week, she was utterly stunned!

What kind of medicine cost that much?

“3.5 million? What on earth did Tegan say about a drug that expensive? Who can afford that?”

Stella shrugged, “I don’t know what kind of drug it is, but she said it’s real.”

Susanna was incredulous. It actually existed?

“Is she pulling the Larkin family’s leg?”

Even if such a drug existed, it couldn’t possibly be that outrageously expensive, she presumed.

Stella replied, “I don’t know if she’s bluffing, but with the way Lola is acting, the Larkin family probably believes it.” Susanna took a sharp breath.

“How did we not notice Tegan could fool people like this? Does the Larkin family even have 3.5 million to treat Ursula?” The Larkin family had been trapped with no way to survive or even find a way out.

Ronald’s directive had effectively blocked every path for the Larkin Group, pushing it to the brink of bankruptcy.

Maybe Blaise sensed something was wrong and siphoned off some funds, but it surely wasn’t enough to treat Ursula. He had another family to support outside.

Stella mused, “If they had that kind of money, the Larkin family wouldn’t be in this mess, right?”

Susanna agreed, “True. With Lola raising such a ruckus, Cloudia is probably trying to grab whatever money Jaxon has.”

They were just trying to gather

whatever they could. This was truly a case of sacrificing everything to save Ursula. What a touching family committed story.

Stella added, “So that’s probably why Lola is causing such a stir.”

Susanna replied, “Alright.”

Good for her. They had

underestimated Lola before, thinking. she couldn’t fight back. After all, the Larkin family had always been united. Even Stella, who was related

née

by blood, had been marginalized by them, let alone Lola, an outsider.

Stella said, “Alright, enough about the Larkin family. Where are you right now? Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?”

“You can’t pick me up.”

Stella responded, “Huh?”

Susanna explained, “I’m at Hull’s villa. He won’t let me leave.”

Stella was shocked.

Hull didn’t allow her to leave? What did that mean?

Stella, who usually wasn’t very curious, found herself intrigued. “Girl, spill the beans. What’s going on?”

How long had it been? Susanna and Hull’s relationship seemed to be getting more and more baffling.
