"So it really is about money! You actually sold me out! What grudge do you have against me for you to do this to me?" Banxia immediately questioned her furiously.
The old aunt's expression turned somewhat panicked. While picking up the money from the bag, she said, "I have no grudge or hatred against you, but Luo Mei is the second mistress of the Huo Family. How could I defy her orders? Miss Lin, please don't make this hard for me. I'm just an old woman. I don't know what the second mistress did to make you so angry, but I really didn't mean to betray you. I was forced into a corner."
"Would you dare repeat everything you just said in front of Mr. Huo?" Banxia scoffed, unwilling to believe her excuses. Now that she'd been found out, she was trying to come up with reasons to exonerate herself. Ha, earlier she was the one calling Banxia shameless.
The old aunt's expression froze instantly. She realized Banxia was not buying into the soft approach.
