Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 591

"You said you want a deposit. This is the only card I have now. This is what you got."

Diego smiled ingratiatingly, "Give me your five million dollar check..."

Before he could finish his words, Laura covered her handbag and took another step back. She quickly reached for the kitchen knife she had placed on the counter.

She held the knife warily in front of her and looked at him coldly.

"Don't even think about it! Let’s not fool each other! I won’t give you a quarter unless you do what I said!"

Laura’s words left Diego dumbfounded.

He was indeed going to fool her and leave with her money.

Five million was not too shabby if he couldn't have 12 million.

Laura would always be under his control as long as he didn't divorce her mother.

However, he didn't expect that Laura was smart enough to see right through him.

Agitated, Diego was embarrassed.

But there was nothing else he could do.

He did not dare to do anything to hurt Laura, because she could really call security and he wouldn't get away.

Reluctantly, he picked up the card and said, "Fine. I’ll come back tomorrow for the rest."

He then walked out.

Laura watched him leave and then she rushed over to close the door.

Then she slid down along the door to the floor as if she had lost all her strength.

The room was quiet again. She was exhausted dealing with Diego.

Sitting on the floor, she closed her eyes, and opened them again.

Then again she looked at her phone she had been holding tightly this whole time and she stared at Max's phone number on it, but she did not call him.

The next day, Laura woke up early.

Perhaps because of what happened last night, she did not sleep well all night.

She kept thinking about the scenes of Diego scolding her when she was a child.

When she woke up, there were two dark circles under her eyes, and she looked terrible as if she had been having a nightmare all night.

She put on some makeup before she took her handbag and left her apartment.

Laura did not go anywhere else but drove directly to St. Peter Hospital.

At that moment, Mrs. Davies was chatting with the nurses in the hospital.

The doctors and nurses here were much better than the hospital she was staying in before, both in terms of their attitudes and qualifications.

Although Mrs. Davies had endured many hardships over the years, she was born into a wealthy family. So she shared some common topics with them.

As they were having a nice conversation, Fannie saw Laura come through the door.

"Laura, what are you doing here?"

Since Laura had come to visit her two days ago, Fannie thought Laura would not come again so soon.

It was late when Diego left Laura’s apartment last night.

She didn't call her mother to tell her about this so as not to worry her.

Besides, she didn't think she would make it clear to her mother over the phone.

She said, "This is what you want and it's good that it’s finally happening. We could finally get him out of the picture."

Fannie's hands trembled slightly as she looked at Laura dully.

By now, her face became even paler, and she looked weak.

After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "What did you do to make him say yes?"

Laura looked at her mother calmly.

She knew she couldn't hide this from her.

After all, 12 million dollars was a big sum of money which she didn't have for now. If she were to make a real deal with Diego, she would have to raise more money for this.

So Fannie would know about this sooner or later.

So instead of hiding, Laura told her mother everything.

Fannie shrieked,

"I disagree!"

Laura immediately looked outside and saw no one was around, she then slightly covered Fannie's mouth with her hand.

Laura whispered, "Lower your voice, mom. People can’t know about this."

Fannie then realized that she just shouted out loud. If people knew about this, Laura would get into trouble.

So she raised her hand and covered her mouth.

Then she said, "Laura, you can't give him money. Where are you gonna find 12 million? I won’t allow it!"

Mrs. Davies was right. Laura's earnings over the years were either extorted by Diego or used to pay medical bills for her mother, so she didn't have much money left.
