Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 501:

Katrina stared at Joyce in disbelief.

“Didn’t Alexander just hand you fifty million? Are you seriously claiming you’re still broke?”

“I’ve been putting money into a business with Milo.” The mention of business made Katrina uneasy.

“Joyce, you’re no business expert. What do you even know about running a company? How could you invest in that? Don’t let yourself be duped!”

“Stop doubting me, Mom.

You always think I’m incapable, but Milo says I’m actually clever. I’ve just been waiting for the right moment. Now that it’s here, I’m not going to let it pass me by.”

Katrina’s expression hardened.

“And just how much did you put in?”

She had assumed a small investment, maybe one or two million at most. However, Joyce raised her fingers in front of her.

Katrina’s chest tightened.

“Four million?”

Joyce burst into laughter.

“Mom, are you serious? What’s four million going to do for me? I put in forty-five million. Milo promised a huge return. I know you never believed in me, always thinking I’m foolish, but just wait. I’ll bring in a fortune before long.”

With that, Joyce turned and made her way towards the door. As she passed, she shot a final reminder at her collapsing mother.

“And don’t forget—eight million is still on you.”

She walked out with a confident stride, leaving Katrina’s mind spinning.

In a panic, Katrina dialed the number of a private investigator she knew, requesting him to dig into the company Joyce had mentioned.

Surveying the empty space around her, Katrina realized how isolated she truly was. Her grip on the phone tightened as her anxiety intensified.

She couldn’t settle, her nerves frayed, until finally, Daniela emerged from upstairs. Trembling, Katrina rushed towards her, pleading, “Daniela, please.

You have to help me this time.”

The disappointment from yesterday’s failed plans had soured Daniela’s mood, leaving her with little patience for niceties.

In a voice devoid of warmth, Daniela questioned, “Is it now?”

“It seems Joyce might have been caught up in a scam. I’ve already reached out for some help, but they’re not as efficient as your contacts at Elite Lux. Could you possibly get someone on it?” Katrina asked, her voice laced with urgency.noveldrama

Daniela proceeded downstairs to have her breakfast, with Katrina trailing right on her heels. Once Daniela had finished her meal, Katrina, unable to contain her desperation any longer, pleaded, “Please, Daniela, can you help me? I’m truly desperate here. Joyce has poured all her savings into this venture!”

Daniela was already aware of the situation. With a nonchalant air, she picked up her phone, tapped a few keys, and declared, “The company is a sham. They’re planning to vanish abroad with the investments in a matter of days.”

Katrina felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her. Her complexion drained of color, and suddenly, she found herself collapsing to her knees.

“What can we do? Help us, please! That money is all Joyce has!”
