Chapter 245

Aurelia was momentarily stunned. She quickly helped Mrs. Parker to a nearby couch and asked cautiously, “Millie... How much money did she borrow?”

Mrs. Parker’s expression stiffened and she explained helplessly, “About 140 thousand dollars. | received a debt collection notice today and then learned that she had borrowed an online loan. If she doesn’t pay them, they say they'll go to her office to cause trouble.”

Aurelia gasped.

Online loans were no different from usurious loans. Every year, police officers visited the company to educate employees about anti-fraud knowledge. They explicitly mentioned various online loan traps.

Millie should be aware of this, so why would she resort to borrowing online?

Without much time to think, Aurelia immediately dialed Millie’s number. After a few beeps, the call connected. “Why are you calling me?” Millie said resentfully.

“Millie, did you borrow money from an online loan?” Aurelia got straight to the point.

Millie took a sharp breath on the other end and cursed, “What's it to you? It’s all fake! Jackson will give me money. He is rich. I’m his girlfriend, so why would | need an online loan? You're smearing my name!”

As Millie repeatedly emphasized Jackson’s wealth, Aurelia lost patience. “Millie! Your mom is here! She received calls from debt collectors. She couldn’t find you and got scared, so she came to the company looking for you.”

“You're making things up!” Millie refused to believe her. Aurelia handed the phone to Mrs. Parker.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Mrs. Parker immediately leaned in. “Millie, where are you? Why did both your father and | receive debt collection calls? Why did you borrow so much money?”

They assumed that Millie would show some restraint upon hearing her mother’s voice, but were shocked that she cursed at her own mother as well.

“Mom! Have you lost your mind? Did you go to the office to embarrass me? I’m already an adult. | know what I’m doing. Do you understand the concept of early investment? I’m doing this for the good of our entire family!”

Mr. and Mrs. Parker were factory workers with an average income. Their targets had been to let Millie study well, work hard, and earn a bit more money for a better life.

They had never borrowed a substantial amount of money before, so the sudden revelation of a 140 thousand online loan bewildered them.

Mrs. Parker frowned at the mention of “early investment” and looked at Aurelia. Aurelia became increasingly angry as she observed Mrs. Parker’s gray hair.

Snatching the phone back, Aurelia scolded, “Millie! Do you have any common sense? If Jackson truly loves you, why would he let you take out an online loan? He’s just toying with you. Wake up! Your parents aren't getting any younger, and they can’t withstand something like this.”

Millie snorted. “Aurelia, you just can’t stand to see me doing well, can you? Since | got together with Jackson, you’ve been flaunting your wealth. You must be really proud of yourself for wearing an expensive necklace, right?

“You're even saying that Jackson is toying with me. Would he behave that way if you didn’t show up in front of him so often? Just give up. Jackson is mine!”

“You...”

Beep, beep, beep...

Millie had hung up.

Aurelia glanced at Mrs. Parker resignedly and gave a random excuse. “I think she’s busy. The signal here is bad.”

Mrs. Parker wiped her years helplessly. “Aurelia, you are a great girl. Help me out, will you? Ever since

she started dating, she is nowhere to be found and rarely comes home at night. She used to listen to you. Help me talk some sense into her.”

Aurelia hesitated. If this was in the past, she would have agreed to help readily. However, Millie had developed a misunderstanding toward her, and every word she said ended up being misinterpreted.

Hence, she didn’t think she had the ability to help Millie.
