Free Web NovelChapter 101: Chapter 101: A Change in the System
Mrs. Logan stared blankly at Chloe Sinclair’s back as she walked away, despair flickering in her eyes.
Suddenly, a person came to mind. She quickly stood up, pulled her phone from her pocket, and dialed a number.
The moment the call connected, Mrs. Logan cried out in panic, "Nina, you have to save me."
Nina Sinclair was taken aback by the call, not yet understanding what was happening.
She asked patiently, "What’s wrong, Mrs. Logan?"
Mrs. Logan instantly clung to her as if she were a lifeline, wailing, "Mr. Sinclair found out about my visit to you! He’s making me pay the money back, but I don’t have that much! Can you please lend me some? I’ll pay you back in the future?"
On the other end of the line, Nina Sinclair’s expression stiffened.
’Where was she supposed to get any money now?’
She had already thrown all her money at paid social media accounts to dig up dirt on Chloe Sinclair, and it had all amounted to nothing.
Nina Sinclair changed the subject. "Mrs. Logan, you know Dad cut my allowance recently. Why don’t you go and plead with him for me? Otherwise, I have no way of lending you any money."
Mrs. Logan’s face turned ashen. "I... I did. But Mr. Sinclair wouldn’t agree."
Nina Sinclair’s expression instantly turned sour.
Then, she heard Mrs. Logan continue, "Miss Sinclair, what am I going to do? If I can’t pay it back, I’ll definitely go to jail. I... I’m so old already. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life behind bars."
As she spoke, Mrs. Logan started crying again.
Nina Sinclair grew annoyed listening to her. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Right now, Mrs. Logan was her only confidant in the Sinclair Family, and she would need to rely on her to make a comeback in the future.
’Even though she’s useless now, I can’t just discard this pawn unless I have absolutely no other choice.’
"How much are you short?"
Mrs. Logan’s eyes lit up. She said hurriedly, "Around seven or eight hundred thousand."
Nina Sinclair gasped.
’She’d be lucky if she even had two hundred thousand right now.’
’How did this old woman embezzle so much money!’
Nina Sinclair took a deep breath. "Mrs. Logan, I really don’t have that much money right now. But I have a way to help you. I just don’t know if you’d be willing."
...
「The next day」
Chloe Sinclair received a transfer of 980,000 from Mrs. Logan into her bank account.
She raised an eyebrow, looking at Mrs. Logan with slight surprise.
’I didn’t expect her to actually find a way to get the money.’
’Would that cheapskate Nina Sinclair really lend her the money?’
Chloe Sinclair immediately dismissed the thought.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. A smile played on her lips as she watched Mrs. Logan’s retreating back, her eyes deep with thought.
At ten o’clock, the adults of the Sinclair Family had all left for work.
Chloe Sinclair returned to her room and started chatting with Eight.
After the system’s update to version 2.0, Eight seemed a little different than before.
For instance, the moment it sensed White in the room, it completely freaked out.
[You got another robot while I was updating the system! I’m not Master’s little cutie anymore!]
For some reason, Chloe Sinclair felt as if the system had suddenly developed emotions. It was a far cry from its previous self, which had been completely emotionless regardless of the situation.
She felt the sudden urge to tease it.
[White is better at acting cute than you are.]
Then, Eight’s voice vanished from her mind.
Chloe Sinclair shook her head, amused. She’d never expected her system manager, Eight, to get jealous of a robot.
’It was kind of cute, now that she thought about it.’
