Chapter 1124 Brother Was Kidnapped

Why? Why did it turn out this way?

Shirley used to trust Skyler so much, but now she was utterly disappointed, especially when she heard

him personally admitting that he wanted the marriage solely because of guilt. It broke her heart.

All the trust she had in him faded, leaving only the bitter taste of being stabbed by the 'truth.'

She lay in bed the whole day, dwelling in helplessness and dejection. She recalled what happened

during the past month. Skyler rarely came over and contacted her. That was enough to prove

everything.

However, bad news never came alone. Shirley received a call from her mother in the afternoon.

As soon as the line got through, her mother's painful wailing resounded from the other end. "Shirley,

please save your brother…"

Shirley woke up from the grief, regaining her composure. "M-Mom, what happened? What's going on?

Stop crying."

Her mother's emotions easily rubbed off on her.

Before going to the hidden clan, she told her family that she was going elsewhere for intensive training.

Thus, it couldn't be the reason for their distress.

After returning from the hidden clan, she only made phone calls to her family and never dared to return

to them. She was afraid that they would be upset upon finding out about her disfigurement.

Shirley's heart tightened at her mother's crying.

"Your brother, your brother has done something terrible. I don't know when did he start gambling. He

lost over 3 million to someone in the casino. Someone has kidnapped your brother and asked our

family for money. If we can't cough up the money, they will kill him. What should I do? What are we

supposed to do, Shirley?"

Her mother cried bitterly, and she could faintly hear Tarquin—her father—cursing on the other end. He

rambled how his son should've just died out there.

Shirley's brother, Lucien Wilson, had been working and had always treated her well. Shirley never

expected that he would get himself involved in gambling and be in debt of over 3 million! It was such a

huge sum of money!

"How could this happen?" She flopped on the bed, anxiously running her hand through her hair. "What

did the casino's management say?"

"They said that if we can't come up with 3.9 million within two days, they will kill Lucien. Just how did I

end up with such a son? Gosh." Her mother cried in despair, breaking her heart.

"Mom, don't worry, I—I will find a way to solve it. I will find a way. Stop crying. Don't worry," Shirley

comforted her mother over the phone before asking Tarquin to get on the phone. She tried to comfort

him as well.

Half an hour later, the call finally ended. She sat there, feeling helpless and overwhelmed.

She suddenly regretted; she regretted discarding the credit card upon learning the truth that it was

impossible to recover her looks. It was a compensation worth 7.5 million from Crayson.

She lost hope after knowing that her looks were beyond recovery. On the day she moved out of

Pinewoods Villa, she threw everything that didn't belong to her away.

"What should I do? What can I do?" She sobbed in desperation.

She held her phone and finally decided to call Skyler but in vain. She made several calls in a row, but

no one answered.

"The person you are calling is unavailable. Please try again later..."

Each time the mechanical voice rang into her ear, her heart grew colder and colder. Was it because

she was aware that Sofia was already pregnant?

Suddenly, she began feeling nauseous and covered her chest.
