Chapter 175

Chapter 175 You Crossed the Line Ainsley used to be gentle. Now she was very sharp, like a hedgehog straightening its thorns.

Irene smiled. Ainsley now looked like the sharp Ainsley several years ago.

The phone rang. It was a call from Manuel.

“Hello, Manuel.”

Manuel questioned, “Where are you?”

“I’m at the café.” She said in a warm voice.

Manuel’s voice grew sharper. “With whom?”

The She picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, then put it down heavily. “Just me right now. If you’re asking who I was seeing just now, you should know.”

“Ainsley?” Manuel drew a cold breath.

Irene burst out laughing. “Manuel, what are you worried about? I didn’t say anything to her, except to wish her success in the competition.”

“You crossed the line.” Manuel’s tone was cold.

Irene’s face fell. Listening to the busy tone of the phone, she angrily stood up and walked away.

Twenty million dollars?

Lindsay and Kaliyah both looked at Cason in shock. They couldn’t believe how a video could cost so much money. Or was Ainsley seeking revenge?

“Cason, that **asked you for so much money! Did you agree?” Lindsay, of course, was unwilling.

Kaitlin came down from upstairs just in time to hear the words.

She blushed and couldn’t believe what Cason said. “She wants 20 million dollars?”

So much money! She had seen what was going on at home in the past few days. Since Manuel and Matteo had dealt with the Baldry family twice in a row, the Baldry family was not as powerful as it used to be. She heard Cason in the study calling someone to borrow money to pay for the goods.

The Baldry family had a huge backlog of goods in their factory. Those payments had not been received. Although they had billions of dollars in assets, they didn’t have a lot of available assets.

She even suspected that the money available in the family was probably not enough for 200 thousand dollars. But Ainsley wanted 20 million dollars!

Kaliyah was furious She didn’t expect Ainsley to ask for so much. But Kaitlin was the one to blame. If she hadn’t had a one-night stand with that man and been videoed, how would all these have happened?

She married Cason not only because of affection. The Packer family was able to slowly return to its former strength with the support of the Baldry family. But now the Baldry family was failing. Besides, Cason was always paying for his sister.

“How could we pay for it?” She said worriedly.

Lindsay blushed. “No! You already gave her 13 million dollars when you got divorced. The house and car you gave her could offset 20 million dollars.”

Cason looked at Kaitlin with a serious expression. “What do you think?”

Kaitlin’s face turned pale. What else could she think? She had to get the video back, no matter what she had to do!

But what did Cason mean? He wasn’t going to help her?

“Of course, I’m going to get it back. Cason, don’t you?” She was worried.

Cason let out a sigh. “Kaitlin, have you counted how much trouble you’ve gotten your family into? I can help you this time. But I want you to remember that this time it cost 20 million dollars to fix it for you. You’re an adult now. Don’t you know the situation of the family and how much money the Baldry family has for you to squander?”

“Cason, I know I’m wrong.” Kaitlin was filled with panic about what everyone would think. of her once the video was released.

Lindsay’s eyes were red. She held Kaitlin in her arms, saying sadly, “Kaitlin, it’s all mom’s fault for not being able to do anything and letting that ******bully you! What bad luck that our family has to be involved with Ainsley!”

Cason got angry and laughed. “Mom, if it wasn’t for Ainsley, the video would have been released!”

“She’s blackmailing us. But you’re defending her! Cason, don’t forget, the reason she wanted that video was to get back at your sister! Are you still treating her as a good person?” Lindsay said with resentment.

Cason looked stern. He knew that no matter what he said to Lindsay, it was useless. His Mom forgot that Kaitlin had kidnapped Ainsley!

Kaliyah was annoyed listening to their quarrels. If she had to choose, she would have to give up Kaitlin. That was 20 million dollars. They didn’t even get the 13 million dollars.

back.

It seemed that Kaitlin wouldn’t return the one million dollars she lent her last time. She couldn’t take the initiative to ask for it back, could she?

“Okay, it’s useless to talk about this now. I’ll pay Ainsley.”

Kaitlin and Lindsay hugged and cried. Kaliyah followed Cason back to the room.

Ainsley was inside the hotel.

After meeting with Irene, Ainsley couldn’t feel calm for a long time. She didn’t write the paper.

Koen was not wrong. After all, the Wade family and the Gage family were indeed family friends. If Manuel and Irene could get married, the two families would be better tied together.

Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 174 Since she chose to break up, they should be completely disconnected. It wouldn’t do her any good to continue the relationship.

There was a knock at the door!

Almost subconsciously, she looked at the door of her room. She didn’t need to open the door to see, she knew it must be Manuel.

She walked slowly to the door and put her hand on the handle. Through the peephole, she looked at Manuel’s angular face outside the door. The more she looked, the more her heart ached.

She missed Manuel. She missed his gentle, loving eyes and his cedar scent.

But this time, she did not open the door.

back. The doorbell rang again. She leaned against the door and said aloud, “Manuel, go It’s over.”.

For a long time, there was no sound outside the door.

It had been so long that she thought Manuel had gone away. She sat helplessly on the floor, the cold floor stinging her skin.

“Over? How is it over? We will never meet again?” Manuel laughed bitterly.

Ainsley’s eyes dimmed. Saying it was over was not the same as hearing him say it was over. She felt sad.

She didn’t say anything. Manuel continued, “Aisy, will you trust me for once? Don’t break up.”

He said it weakly. The door was closed tightly. He knew Ainsley must be listening. The closed door was like Ainsley’s heart, which had closed on him.

“Manuel, go away. Don’t come back to me.” Ainsley said slowly. As if she had lost her strength, she closed her eyes. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

“Aisy, I’m sorry.” Manuel lowered his eyes and looked at his toes.

He was full of exhaustion and great pain.

The path separated the two. He didn’t know how he had walked out. All he knew was that he didn’t go anywhere but to the club.

Inside the club, Manuel was getting drunk. Drinking was his chosen way of venting. He had never felt that it made sense to drink away his sorrows. But when he was experiencing inner pain, he wanted to use alcohol to numb the nerves of pain.

The club was filled with the sound of music. Hot bodies were swaying on the dance floor.
