Chapter 1189 Ransom
The nurse felt too embarrassed to accept it. "You really don't need to do this. I've just been doing my job. Besides, Mr. Li pays us a higher salary than the others. I shouldn't accept your gift."
"The salary is what you've earned. This is my personal gift. Although it's not expensive, I hope you don't mind!" Her money has been tight recently. If she had more money, she would've bought more gifts for them.
A lipstick that costs a few hundred can be considered expensive. How could a nurse from an ordinary family refuse?
Finally, Sophia convinced the nurse to take the lipstick she bought.
The nurse felt grateful to Sophia. She kept reassuring Sophia that working away from home was all right. She would definitely take good care of her father.
Before dinner, Sophia returned to the Li Villa
While making dinner, Sophia assisted Wendy to learn to cook in the kitchen. She could definitely cut vegetables, but cooking was difficult to her.
Sophia hasn't been pampered since she was a child. Back when she lived at home, she helped her parents with housework, like washing clothes and preparing vegetables.
While Sophia was cutting the onions in the kitchen, Wendy called Colin, "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"
"No. I have an appointment with a client." Colin was on his way to the hotel.
Wendy felt a bit regretful. "Well, I was going to ask you about dinner. Sophia was the one who helped me cook tonight. But if that's the case, go ahead!"
Colin didn't say anything. When Wendy thought that Colin had hung up the phone, he spoke again, "I will have dinner late."
Wendy understood what he meant and replied happily, "Okay, I'll leave some food for you later."
Going back to the kitchen, Wendy asked Sophia to take some food out. Thinking it was for Jordan, she obediently set aside some food from each dish into a few plates.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Sophia came out of the bedroom and gave Wendy some hand cream, "Mom, you usually cook. I hope you'll appl
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
Three million! Not three hundred!
After dressing up, Sophia finally called Colin.
On the way back, Colin had drunk some wine, so he leaned against the rear seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing the caller ID, Colin smiled but answered the phone indifferently. "What?"
"Colin..." After calling his name, Sophia fell into silence.
Colin guessed that she needed his help. She didn't talk, and he didn't bother to urge her.
Sophie bit her so lower lip hard, it almost bled. She went straight to the point, "I want to borrow three million from you. You can rest assured that I will pay you back, with a credit note as proof. If you're uneasy, I can sign a longer labor contract for the company..."
Three million was an astronomical figure for Sophia. But for Colin, there was no difference between three million and three thousand.
What does she want the three million for?
Sophia had no idea about his wealth. She added anxiously, "But if you don't have the money, it doesn't matter. I..."
"What will you do?" Colin asked her casually.
Sophia fell into silence again. What if Colin didn't have the money? Did she really have to do what Dorothy said?
"If you don't have enough money... I'm going to ask Herring or... Can you help me get in contact with Hugh?" Giving in to Dorothy would be the last resort.
