Chapter 150 Promotion (9)

• After listening to Emily talk, Chadwick smiled again, but a little tragically this time before he took out a cigarette from his pocket. Then, he lit it while mentioning, "Emily, I really didn't expect that there'd be a day where you'd think of me like that. Why do I feel like the person who betrayed the other is now me? There are a few things I want to make clear to you. Firstly, I'm not here to ask you for money, nor to pester you. Even if, as you said, I'd been driven mad with poverty, I would never return to a woman who betrayed me. You think too highly of yourself. Now, you're a stranger to me. I just called you today because I wanted you to clarify this matter. I wanted to know if you're the person who paid the people whom I owed money to on my behalf. Now, I'm certain that the person wasn't you."
• "Secondly, I've never taken your money, not even a single penny. I don't know how much money is in your card because I threw it away after you gave it to me. Check your card yourself and see whether there's a penny less in that card. No matter how poor I become, I'm still a man. I can accept anyone's money and kindness, but not yours."
• "Thirdly, I never told you how much was spent on your dad's hospitalization. I never told you, and I never said that I wanted you to pay me back, so please stop assuming that I'm deliberately cheating your money on the grounds of your dad's hospitalization. I can now solemnly tell you that your dad didn't spend a single penny in the hospital, so you don't have to think that you owe me anything. Everything between us has long been paid off." Chadwick paused, then took a sharp puff of his cigarette.
