C18 It Was Flawless!

Without any warning, he ruthlessly invaded my body, causing me to cry out in pain.

However, my cries of pain seemed to arouse his interest, causing him to intensify his actions.

I clenched my teeth and did not make another sound.

This made him dissatisfied. He grabbed my hair and slammed it against the coffee table until I cried out in pain again.

He finally finished his job. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the sofa, puffing smoke out of his mouth.

I pulled my skirt and cleaned myself up in a sorry state. Then, I reached out to pick up the suitcase of cash.

That was the money that saved my father. I had to get it.

Fortunately, Carlton did not stop me from taking the suitcase of money. I successfully dragged the suitcase out of the clubhouse.

I was worried that Carlton would go back on his word and chase after me, so I quickly got the money into the car and drove away.

After driving for a few kilometers and making sure that there were no cars chasing after him, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Although I was humiliated, as long as I had the money, my father’s matter would be resolved.

As long as my family was fine, I would feel much more at ease.

At this moment, the phone rang again. It was my father calling.

Father said on the phone that the female student, Zhou Hong, had urged him again. She said that she had already arrived at the entrance of the police station. If Father did not send the money over, she would go in and call the police.

I quickly told Father to wait for me downstairs. I would bring the money back immediately.

I sped up the car and drove to the neighborhood where my parents lived. Father was already waiting anxiously there.

After parking the car, I rolled down the window and said, "Dad, I'll send you there."

"Where's the money? Just give me the money and I'll send it over myself." My father said anxiously.

"Dad, why don't I accompany you? I can take care of someone else."

"No, give me the money. Otherwise, Zhou Hong will call the police!"

My father moved the suitcase onto his car and drove away from the district.

I heaved a sigh of relief and dragged my tired legs towards my house.

Mother opened the door for me. "Where's your dad? Did you get the money?"

"I've got it. Don't worry, it's fine now." I comforted my mother softly.

Mother's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, Priscilla. Your dad and I have implicated you. It's really..."

I felt extremely tired. I signaled my mother to stop talking. I wanted to take a break.

When I laid down in my room, the flashbacks of the past two days flashed through my mind.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a serial plot against my family and friends.

Everything had already been planned and was just waiting for this moment to explode.

Lemuel was the chess piece and also the fuse that ignited the chain of events. From the moment he was caught cheating Lemuel, the series of events began.

My parents, my mother, and the nun were all in danger. There was nowhere for them to escape.

All of this was controlled by the mysterious Carlton.

But who was he? What was his purpose in doing this?

He looked at me with hatred in his eyes. What did I do to offend him?

I don't even know him. How could I have a grudge against him?

If there was really a grudge, what kind of grudge was it?

Was he here for revenge? If so, would he stop here?

He knew that I was going to use this money to save my father today, so why did he still ask me to take the money away?

Thinking about this, I immediately got up.

If he really came for revenge, he would be so kind as to lend me a million to save my father.

But he did give me the money. What would happen after that?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. I was ready to take my phone and call my father to ask if he had solved the problem.

Before I could even make a phone call, I heard the phone in my house ringing.

Mother walked over to pick up the phone. "Hello, who is this?"

"What? That's impossible. It can't be that old Alfonso would do such a thing... That money..."

Mother shouted and then turned around to look at me with fear in her eyes.

My heart sank. What happened to my father again?

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"The police station called and said that your father was arrested for selling fake money! Priscilla, how could you use fake money to harm your father? How can you explain this clearly?"

Mother shouted, "That money is fake?"

"The police station received a report saying that someone brought a large amount of fake money. Your father just arrived at the agreed location and was caught by the police! Priscilla, if you can't borrow the money, just tell me. How could you use fake money to fool your father? A million yuan in fake money would at least be sentenced to more than ten years. What should I do?" Mother cried.

I was speechless.

As expected, the one surnamed Ortiz was not that kind-hearted. He would lend me money to save my father.

He made me hang a signboard to humiliate me, then gave me a box of fake money. Not only did he not save my father, he even made my father bear the crime of selling fake money!

A sum of one million was at least ten years in jail!

And this money was for my father. My father would definitely not tell anyone that the money came from me. He would definitely plead guilty and go to jail himself.

Carlton must have expected this too. He killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he humiliate me, he also successfully trapped my father in a trap. How terrifying!

What kind of enmity did he have with me? Why did he want to harm me like this?

I had to ask him about it.
