“Embezzle public funds?” Cinderella’s eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t believe that her father, who had always been conscientious at work, would do such things.
“Dad, tell me it’s not true, right?” Cinderella shook her head slightly and looked at her father.
Vincent opened his mouth when he saw Cindy like this, but he didn’t know what to say, and finally silently acquiesced.
“How could it happen?”
“That’s how things are. Can we lie to you?” Linda rolled her eyes when she saw Cinderella’s incredulous expression. She didn’t have the patience to explain the whole thing to Cinderella. Instead, she wants to know from Cinderella how she can help Vincent.
Linda said impatiently, “Now you know the thing. Just figure out how to save your father!”
Seeing that Linda worried that she would leave her father alone, Cinderella felt very disgusted. She looked at her father and said, “Dad, if it’s really like this, as long as you pay back the money, it would be okay.”
“Everyone know that, but the problem is that we have no money!” Linda interrupted until Cinderella finished her word.
“How much does it cost?” Cinderella asked nervously, biting her lips.
“Three million dollars.” Linda slightly lowered her head, and she said vaguely.
“Three... Three million dollars?” Cinderella was surprised and frightened and asked, “Dad, what do you want so much money for?”
Seeing that Cinderella was ready to approach Vincent, Linda stood aside and stopped Cinderella. She said with a trace of threat, “Why do you care about so many things? Now you just have to say whether you help your father or not.”
Vincent heard Linda say this to Cinderella, anxiously pulled Linda apart and whispered to Cinderella, “Cindy, don’t listen to her. You don’t have to worry about money. Dad will solve it...”
“How do you solve it? If you really have a way to solve this problem, you wouldn’t have to ask everyone for help these days. Now I’m asking your daughter to help you for your own good.” Linda, who was pulled away by Vincent, said angrily as soon as she heard what Vincent told Cinderella.
In the face of Linda’s anger, Vincent said patiently: “Even if I tell Cindy, she can’t help me. It will only make her worried...”
“You don’t want her to worry. What about Ella and me? Ella is also your daughter. Why don’t you care about her?”
At this time, Cinderella slowly calmed down and felt that based on her understanding of her father, she would not misappropriate public funds even if there were great difficulties in life, and she had never heard that they were in a dilemma.
In that case, Linda might be the troublemaker.
“Can’t you be quiet? I need to sleep!” At this time, Ella, with long red hair and a short nightdress, completely sketched out her concave convex and sexy body, came out with a lack of sleep and shouted at the two people who were quarrelling in the hall.
Linda turned her head to look at her awakened daughters and said angrily, “What can you do? Huh? You can only sleep. If your father asks you and me to take the rap, then you’ll sleep in prison for a lifetime!”
“Mom, what are you talking about? Dad can’t do such a thing.” Ella rolled her eyes at Linda. Then she yawned. At this time, she seemed to see Cinderella standing aside and said frivolously, “My sister, here you are. Sit down, please!”
Cinderella saw that Ella lay down on the sofa, ignored what Ella said, and asked in a steady voice, “Do you know what happened? Why did Dad misappropriate public funds?”
Ella got a glimpse of Cinderella out of corner of her eye, and then walked slowly to the sofa. She almost had to lie on the sofa. She said, “Because my uncle got married last month and wanted to buy a new house. He was interested in a house in the East District. You know how expensive the houses in the East District are.
When my uncle was ready to pay for it, he found that there was not enough money, so he asked my father to borrow it... When he borrowed it, he said he would return it in a few days, but after so long, we didn’t see the money and him anymore. “
After that, Cinderella frowned. She knew that it was Linda who persuaded her father to lend money to Linda’s brother. Before misappropriating public funds, she must annoy Vincent for a long time.
“Why are you telling her this, idiot?” Linda rolled her eyes at Ella.
But Ella ignored her, still leaned back on the sofa and said, “If you don’t tell her clearly, how can she help dad solve those problems!”
Cinderella felt that it was very funny and couldn’t help laughing about Ella and Linda.
They just wanted to find Cindy and let her deal with the problems alone.
When Linda heard Cinderella laughing like this, she immediately turned her head and looked at Cinderella and said, “Since you have already known what happened, you have to solve it out.”
“Just return the house, or sell it, and return 3 million dollars to the company.” Cinderella is worried about her father’s safety and doesn’t want to argue with them about such things.
“No, that house belongs to my eldest brother. My eldest brother finally got a wife at this age. He has to own a house. This house can’t be returned or sold.” Linda refused without hesitation.
“OK, then ask him to pay back three million dollars and let my father pay to the company.”
“If my eldest brother had three million, would he still need to borrow it?” Linda retorted.
“Then why did he ask my father to borrow it at the beginning if he doesn’t have so much money? And you promise he will repay it. You know all but still ask my father to misappropriate public funds. How dare you?” Cinderella felt that it was unreasonable when she heard Linda’s words. She couldn’t understand what Linda was thinking and how she could say that with confidence.
“Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t ask you to scold me. I ask you to solve the problem.” Linda didn’t feel guilty at all.
Linda has always known that no matter what happens, even if it is her fault, as long as she is tough and uncompromising, she can’t be scolded by others, so she will naturally win. She did that to Vincent for so many years and she has never failed.
Linda looked at Cinderella and said fiercely, “you have to find a way to get your father out of jail...”
