Chapter 1191:
Holley’s expression darkened instantly.
Her eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing in them. After a few seconds, she spoke, eerily calm. “And tell me,
Sarai—just how exactly do you expectto take care of you?”
Sarai didn’t bother sugarcoating her words. “Holley, calm down. I’m not asking for anything outrageous. I'm just
stranded in a strange city, running low on cash, and honestly, I'm in a bind. Would it be possible for you to send
keep quiet about... that matter. Not a single soul will hear about it from me.”
Now, when Sarai faced Holley, her attitude was completely different from before.

Holley, however, remained visibly displeased.
The request left a bitter taste in her mouth, and frustration simmered beneath the surface.
Still, Sarai’s request wasn’t exactly unreasonable.
But that didn’t mean Holley was about to give in so easily.
She said, “I can send you money every month, but the most Ill give is ten thousand.”
Sarai’s expression immediately darkened. “Ten thousand? That's nowhere near enough, Holley. |—"
Holley cut her off, saying, “Ten thousand is more than generous. That's my final offer—take it or leave it. If you
agree, I'll start transferring the money tomorrow. If not, well, then I guess you're out of luck.”
On the other end of the call, Sarai fell silent for a long moment. Then, with reluctance, she finally replied, “Fine.
Ten thousand it is.” She would just have to be more careful with her spending.
“Good. Then it's settled.” Without another word, Holley ended the call.

Later that evening, Bethany invited Belinda out for dinner.
With Johnson busy with work, it was just the two of them sharing a meal.
As they ate, Belinda mentioned the phone call Sarai had made to Kenia earlier that day.

“Kenia’s amazing!” Bethany burst out after hearing the story, unable to hold back her admiration.
Then, her lips twisted into a scornful smirk. “Sarai’s got saudacity. What's her plan? She thinks she can just
sweet-talk Kenia and cback?”
Belinda let out a sharp, silent scoff, her expression saying it all.
Bethany's teeth clenched, her face flushing with anger. “And don’t getstarted on Holley! She’s crossed every
boundary! Teaming up with an outsider to schagainst her own flesh and blood—what kind of mother does
something that vile?”
The mere mention of Holley cast a shadow over Belinda’s features. These days, hearing her mother’s name
didn’t stir sorrow in her anymore, just a bitter blend of disappointment and repulsion.
Over and over, Holley had proven herself untrustworthy, but this latest betrayal, joining forces with Sarai to plot
against Lucas, was the final straw for Belinda.
