Chapter 570: 570: Will you make it up to me?
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
âYou can touch it if you donât believe me. It wonât show in the camera, but it looks high-quality,â Cindy Clarke explained.
Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke came forward and touched it together.
Joshua was purely out of curiosity.
While Christy just didnât believe it.
However, once they touched it, they could feel the difference.
Looking closely, they could even see some small bubbles forming in places.
âThe most significant expense for me was buying cameras and lenses,â Cindy didnât care about Christy, she went straight to Joshua.
âDad, can you see the difference through the lens?â Cindy opened the camera and showed it to Joshua.
Indeed, it changed instantly through the lens.
âThisâ¦â Joshua was amazed.
âFrom the lens, the entire color tone became high-end, didnât it?â Cindy said, âThe walls that werenât so white turned out white and clean. You canât see that I stuck stickers on the cabinets, even the small bubbles are invisible.â
âIsnât it the same as what you saw in the video?â Cindy asked.
Joshua nodded: âItâs the same.â
Even the angle was the same.
âI really didnât expect that it would be so different when put in the lens,â Joshua surprised.
âMaybe the fans and Zoe Silverstone think I am quite rich,â Cindy said.
âAfter all, Iâm a blogger. I shouldnât look too shabby, should I? Otherwise, it wonât look good on the camera. No matter what each bloggerâs home is like in private, they all appear marvelous in front of the lens.â
âJust like so many people in Nork City, where they dress glamorously on the street, but who knows what kind of house they rent when they go home? Many celebrities initially lived in basements when they first came to Nork City, but they still needed to be confident when filming. Who would know how bitter their private life really is?â
âThatâs my current situation,â Cindy said with a disappointed tone, âI never dared to contact home because I was afraid of adding to the familyâs burden, but I didnât expect that the familyâs conditions had already improved so much.â
Cindyâs eyes lit up again, âYouâve been in Belfard for so long, and youâve always been living in such a nice hotel. The hotel room is much larger and brighter than my place.â
âYouâve suffered,â Joshua sighed.
However, he still didnât mention giving her money.
Previously, when they were in the hotel, she had explicitly stated that she wanted some money to improve her living conditions.
But now, standing inside her âhome,â Joshua didnât bring it up.
Cindy chuckled inside, thanking heavens she didnât have to rely on her family for help.
Even in her most difficult times, she never thought anyone could help her.
She made it through all by herself.
Moreover, Cindy didnât really want their money.
She just wanted to scare them away as quickly as possible.
Cindy casually said: âAbout the moneyâ¦â
âWhat money!â As soon as Christy heard the word âmoney,â she became energetic and high-pitched.
âYou sold me and got 10 million, and the money spent raising me for the past 19 years would leave you with a couple million left.â
âI donât want your several million, just give me half a million,â Cindy said, âIf youâre unwilling to give it all at once, you can give it in installments, or use rent to offset it.â
âLet me improve my living conditions here in Belfard,â Cindy said.
âYouâre farting!â Christy scolded angrily, âI told you, there isnât that 10 million!â
âOh, so explain where the sudden influx of money at home came from? Donât tell me there were investors. If there were, tell me their names, Iâll investigate them.â
âYou want money? No way!â Christy was furious.
They were here to ask Cindy for money, so how come they had to give her money instead?
It was absolutely impossible!
âYou canât do this. You enjoy the good life at home and live in a big villa,â Cindy said, âYou donât need to deny it. Zoe Silverstone has already told me.â
âThat shameless Zoe Silverstone!â If Zoe were here, Christy would tear her face apart.
Did Zoe think she was a double agent, playing both sides?
Telling them about Cindy and then leaking their secrets to Cindy?
Not only that, but she even took advantage of buying tickets to make money from them.
Cindy claimed she didnât do anything.
She âunintentionallyâ mentioned Zoe Silverstone occasionally, just to brainwash Christy Xenos.
Cindy didnât expect the results to be so good.
Now Christy had completely lost trust in Zoe.
She didnât believe anything Zoe had said.
âItâs so cramped here, what are you squeezing here for!â Christy said quickly.
Ignoring Cindyâs words, she dragged Joshua away.
Cindy, fearing that they would run away, followed closely behind.
âDad,â Cindy tugged on Joshuaâs arm.
The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel together.
âSince Iâve come here,â Cindy said, âWhy donât I open another room? Iâll stay here tonight? Itâs just⦠Dad, the money for the hotel stayâ¦â
âWe have no money!â Christy Xenos chimed in, âIf you want to stay, spend your own money! Donât think about using ours!â
âDad?â Cindy looked at Joshua with hopeful eyes, âDad, youâve been apologizing to me for being sorry and putting me through hardships, saying that you have been an unqualified father.â
âSo now, if I want to live better, will you satisfy me? The past grievances canât be taken back. My grievances are there to stay, and no matter how much you comfort me, itâs useless,â Cindy said.
âSo, is it possible to make it up for me? Make up for the past grievances, starting from now,â Cindy directly asked Joshua, âDad, will you make it up to me?â
She wanted to see his reaction after making it so clear.
Joshua was caught off guard and speechless.
âThis⦠thisâ¦â Joshua stammered for a long time, saying, âI⦠The money at home is managed by your mom and sister. Your sister just gives me some pocket money every month, not much, about five thousand a month.â
After all, Nork City was not big, and Joshua didnât have any high-consumption hobbies.
With five thousand a month, he couldnât even spend it all.
âI canât give you that half a million all at once,â Joshua said with difficulty.
âDad, does this mean⦠I wonât have a single penny? Previously, you kept saying sorry to me, and that you let me suffer. Are those just sweet words?â Cindy looked at Joshua disappointedly.
