The Heiress Strikes Back


47 We All Know Each Other

“Haha, I’m a little embarrassed to say it out loud. I have something that I need your help with.” June’s voice was very soft as if she were worried that she would be embarrassed if others saw her.

“Auntie doesn’t usually have much to do at home. Recently, there’s a new underground casino near the bar street that came up with some new tricks. I didn’t expect it to be a scam. Now that Auntie owes a lot of money, can you think of a way to make up for Auntie’s deficit? Also, do you have a way to help me get back the money that was cheated?”

When Sonia heard this, she almost laughed out loud. This is a good thing that fell onto my lap. I have to make use of this opportunity to put on a good performance.

She said firmly, “Auntie, leave such a small matter to me. I’ll go look for you right now. Our family has some connections with the underground network. We can definitely help you resolve this matter.”

When June heard the other party say this, she instantly felt hopeful. Then, she walked into the casino with a smug look on her face.

Surprisingly, when she saw the baffled Sharon, June couldn’t help but get angry. “For someone like you, I don’t even know what’s the point of living. You can’t be counted on at all. If it weren’t for someone resolving this matter, I’m afraid your organs would’ve been removed!”

It was only then that Sharon understood why her mother-in-law asked her to come. If nobody could help June pay her debts today, then she would sell her daughter-in-law to the casino.

Who did she choose to ask for help from? This casino has come up with so many new gambling games and even dares to cheat money so blatantly. The person behind this must have a powerful background; it’s even possible that there is a New York mafia in charge. Sharon really didn’t believe that the person June found could easily cough up money.

Actually, I only need to call John to help me with such a small matter. Otherwise, I could call Natsume to ask for help. But since June was planning to sell me, I will leave her in the lurch!

The people watching the commotion noticed that June was already sitting at the side with a smile on her face. They immediately came over to ask if she had found some big shot and if it was possible that she would cause this place to close down.

June enjoyed the pleasure of being complimented, and she immediately said, “Don’t worry! I invited the Stewart family’s young miss over. Everyone has heard of the Stewart family’s name. I don’t think we need to pay back the money we owe!”

A few rich madams chimed in, “Sonia? The Stewart family’s daughter? June, you’re really capable to know such a person!”

“Sonia must have a lot of connections. Won’t she be able to settle our matter in a matter of minutes?”

“June, are you being silly!? Since you know such a person, why didn’t you let Wallace marry her? Instead, you found such a good-for-nothing to create trouble for you every day.”

June glanced at Sharon disdainfully and said coldly, “Our family doesn’t like that kind of woman at all. Sooner or later, we’ll chase her out.”

Sharon couldn’t be bothered by their words. She just waited for Sonia to come and see what she could do.

Soon, a black Audi stopped at the entrance.

Sonia alighted from the car, dressed in a spring suit.

Everyone sighed. “My god, the Stewart family’s young miss is really pretty. Look at her; she’s truly a daughter of a wealthy family. I wonder which family she will marry into in the future.”

“If she can marry my son, our family will be blessed.”

“Pfft! That son of yours-I’m not saying this, but he’s switching girlfriends every day. How could she possibly like him?”

June hurriedly waved her hands to stop them from talking nonsense. Then, she stood up and said with an earnest expression, “Sonia, you’re finally here. Auntie can’t sit still anymore.”

“I’m so sorry, Auntie. I needed to settle some matters, making you wait.” Sonia smiled and waved at June.

June hurriedly replied, “Don’t say that. Auntie didn’t wait long, and you came quickly.”

Sonia helped June adjust her collar. “After all, you’re the one in trouble. I have to rush over even if I have to run the red light.”

“Hey, it’s too troublesome if you get caught doing so!”

“How could that be?” Sonia looked at the auntie who said that and said calmly, “The New York traffic team has a good relationship with our family. We’re all familiar with each other, so something like running the red lights is just a small matter. Besides, the Stewart family can afford this small sum of money. Sharon, don’t you think so?”
