Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 181 - 146 The Spark in Hunter Warren’s Eyes Made Her Heart Flutter
Chapter 181: Chapter 146 The Spark in Hunter Warren’s Eyes Made Her Heart Flutter
The girl saw her approaching and gave a slight bow: "Director Townsend."
Faye Townsend frowned: "You don’t hate me?" She had thought that coming here, she might get cursed for being the sister of a monster.
The girl pursed her lips and shook her head: "The one who hurt me isn’t you, why would I hate you?"
Faye Townsend clenched her fist. Such a nice girl, it was truly a pity for her to marry Richard Townsend.
In her opinion, Richard Townsend was only fit for messing around with women.
"Let’s sit down and talk for a bit." Faye Townsend stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Eliana Brooke obediently took the seat next to her.
"I just learned today of the abuse you suffered from Richard Townsend, and I’m truly sorry."
Faye Townsend’s apology was straightforward.
Seeing such a simple and pure girl sitting before her, she naturally had no reason to beat around the bush.
Eliana Brooke looked down with a slight frown.
Faye Townsend pursed her lips: "I’ve heard about your family’s situation from Uncle Forrest.
I also know what kind of compromises you are willing to make for your home and your parents.
You could have completely sued Richard Townsend and had him rot in jail.
Really, as Richard Townsend’s own sister, I thank you for letting him off the hook."
"I didn’t want to." Eliana Brooke also clenched her fists, her voice choked with emotion: "Director Townsend, I really didn’t want to let him off.
But... given my family’s difficult situation right now, I truly have no other choice.
I know acting this way, I am very despicable, very vile.
Many people might say I sacrificed my body for money.
They might also say I’m condoning a criminal.
But no matter what others say, I just hope my mom can breathe the same air as me in this world.
Even as a vegetable, I hope she’s here.
But with my measly salary... I’m already struggling to cover the medical bills for myself and my dad, let alone help my mom.
So, if there’s a chance my mom could stay alive, what’s this body worth?
As long as she can live, what does it matter if I give up my life?
Director Forrest was right, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world; to get something, you have to give something."
Eliana Brooke spoke through clenched teeth, tears swirling in her eyes.
But she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
So what if she is poor; even poor people must retain their dignity, right?
Eliana Brooke’s words moved Faye Townsend.
If her parents had survived that car accident, even as vegetables, she would have been willing.
But in the end, she couldn’t even have her parents that way.
She sighed heavily: "Eliana, you’re a good girl, a man like Richard Townsend doesn’t suit you.
I know you’re forcing yourself because you need money.
As you wish, I can cover all expenses for your mother’s hospital treatment, as well as your father’s medical bills.
You don’t have to marry Richard Townsend; from now on..."
"Director Townsend..." Eliana Brooke sniffed: "I have no future left.
My boyfriend broke up with me because he couldn’t face my mother’s illness with me.
He said that with our combined abilities and jobs, we would never have our own home on this land of Anchester in our lifetime.
Taking on a sick father-in-law and a vegetative mother-in-law, he might never be able to turn his life around.
He said he’s still young and doesn’t want such a life.
Moreover, his mother doesn’t agree with him continuing to be with me.
I know with my current situation, being with anyone, I’m destined to be a burden."
"But you don’t have to sacrifice yourself."
Eliana Brooke raised her hand to block her eyes, turning her head, not wanting Faye Townsend to see the tears in her eyes.
Faye Townsend took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her.
"Thank you." She wiped the tears and turned back to Faye Townsend: "Director Forrest was right, if I just took the money to settle everything Richard Townsend did to me, then I’d be no different from a prostitute.
I have already accepted the five million check that Director Forrest wrote to me.
If I took the money, I have to do what I’m supposed to do.
Director Forrest said, to marry Richard Townsend and after marriage, guide him onto a good path to grow as a person.
He also said to have children for the Townsend Family to continue the lineage.
It’s a deal, so I must abide by it."
Hearing her say this, Faye Townsend felt a vague pain in her heart.
If such a good girl married into the Townsend Family, her whole life would be ruined.
"Return the money to Director Forrest, I’ll take care of the five million..."
"Director Townsend." Eliana Brooke interrupted Faye Townsend: "Is it because my family’s poor that the Townsend Family doesn’t want me as a daughter-in-law?"
"You’ve misunderstood me. My brother is just a jerk. Have you thought about how much pain you’d endure if you married him?"
