Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was Money Mrs.

Newtons sharp tone sent a chill down Sylvias spine .

Hope didnt need any further prompting .

She followed suit , stepping out of the car and walking inside without a word .

After explaining their purpose , the officers led the three of them to an interrogation room .

Louis was slouched in a chair , eyes closed , pretending to sleep .

At the sound of the door opening , his eyes snapped open .

A faint smile broke through his weary expression when he saw Hope .

His voice was hoarse but tinged with 1/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points excitement .

Sylvia couldnt hold back .

Big brother , Sylvia and Mom are here too .

Newton sneered .

Do you know what her condition was for coming to get you ? She demanded a million dollars ! You think she really sees you as her brother ? Shes just after your money ! Hope didnt deny it , but she wasnt about to let them off the hook either .

All I asked for was a million .

Sylvia , on the other hand , wants Louis to invest in a TV drama with her as the lead actress .

A million wont cover that .

Louis , who had just been disappointed by Hopes demand , turned his gaze to Sylvia and Mrs.

Newton .

Is that true ? 4/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points Mrs.

Newton shrugged .

Sylvia is your sister .

If shes going to be a star , she needs projects .

As her big brother , whats wrong with investing in a drama for her ? Louis let out a bitter laugh .

In the past , he might have agreed with her .

But now , he finally understood why Hope despised the Newton family so much .

Mom , Hope is my biological sister , and shes a star too .

Whats wrong with giving her a million ? Youre willing to invest in a drama for your adopted daughter but begrudge a million for your own flesh and blood ? Mrs.

Newton stiffened .

She grew up in the countryside .

What does she need all that money for ? Fine .

If you want to give Sylvia resources , 5/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points do it yourself , Louis said , his voice heavy with despair .

No matter what he said , it seemed his mother was under some spell , caring only for Sylvia .

Newton snapped .

Dont forget , the Newton Group belongs to the Newton family , not just you ! The companys profits arent yours to squander ! Take the money .

Take the company .

Do whatever you want .

Ill make my own way and support my sister .

Hope watched the drama unfold , skeptical .

Louis , the pampered heir , starting from scratch ? She didnt buy it .

This was just empty talk .

Brother , dont fight with Mom .

I wont act in the drama , Sylvia pleaded , her eyes red as she clung to Louiss arm .

6/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points Mrs.

Newtons heart ached for her , but before she could comfort her , Louis shook Sylvia off .

Dont call me brother anymore .

Hope is my only sister .

Mrs.

Newton and Sylvia hurried after them .

Louis ! Come home with me ! Mrs.

Newton yanked Louis and shoved him into the car , slamming the door shut .

Sylvia quickly took the passenger seat .

Hope was left standing outside .

Louis snapped out of his daze .

Let me out ! 7/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points Im going home with my sister ! Mrs.

Newton coldly ordered the driver , Drive .

To the airport ! Exhausted from a night of drinking , his stomach and head pounding , Louis was too weak to resist without risking hurting Mrs.

Newton .

He could only press his face against the window , watching helplessly as Hope was left behind , standing alone on the roadside .

Her slender figure was like a sharp blade , piercing Louiss heart .

Mrs.

Newton , furious at his despondent state , yanked him back into his seat .

Look at yourself ! Who knows what kind of spell that wretched girl has cast on you ! Youve even turned your back on Sylvia ! When your father returns , well discuss 8/12 Chapter 43 : All She Wanted Was M … + 5 Points sending her away .

I wont let you take my sisters kidney .
