Chapter 518 One Million Dollars
Rachael was furious the moment the demand note of her husband’s medical bill was
thrown in her face.
She did not expect that there would be a day in her lifetime when she was called for debt.
Originally, she had planned to hire two full-time caregivers to watch over her husband 24
hours a day. This way, both she and her daughter could rest without being bothered.
However, she never expected to receive a demand note from the nurse after she arrived
at the hospital.
Staring at the amount owed, Rachael’s brow furrowed.
“Are you guys mistaken? How could we possibly be in arrears?”
The nurse was with a cold face and a somewhat aloof attitude.
She said to Rachael, “The demand note is clearly stated. Your pre-paid fees were used up
yesterday. Please pay the fees as soon as possible so as not to delay the treatment!”
After saying that, the nurse left the ward without looking back.
Rachael rubbed the demand note in her hand into a ball angrily and cursed in a low voice,
“Damn it. Don’t these bastards know who we are? I’m calling the director and telling him
to fire this stupid nurse!”
Liana sat by the side, frowning. She looked gloomy.
“Mommy, don’t waste your energy. It’s useless!”
Rachael froze at once. She looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression. ”
What do you mean by that? What do you mean it’s useless?”
Helpless, Liana could only tell the truth.
“If calling the director was useful, I would have done it long ago. The hospital informed us
that from now on, all the bills we spend here will not go through the Swann Corporation’s
fund.
From the moment Korbin was kicked out of the Swanns’ board of directors, they no longer
enjoyed all the privileges of the Swanns.
Liana’s eyes were filled with hatred. ” Mommy, this is all because of that disaster
Catherine. She wants to drive us to a dead end!”
Rachael finally realized. It turned out that Catherine was behind all of this.

Liana was a bit impatient with the fact that her mother had not yet realized the current
situation. If it were helpful to come to Catherine, they would not have fallen to the point
where they were at the moment.
“Mommy, what’s the point of coming to Catherine? If you come to Catherine, you might as
well come to Audrey. The previous medical bills were all pre-paid by Audrey. If we don’t
pay the medical bills, Dad might be kicked out of the hospital!”
Upon hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Rachael’s face was very gloomy.
She did not expect that she would fall into such a situation one day.
No matter what, she could not let her husband lose his treatment.
She was still waiting for her husband to wake up and make a comeback!
On the set, Audrey just got out of the car and noticed that the phone on the side was
ringing.
Kim moved faster than she did. He picked up the phone and threw it into the drawer, then
immediately closed the drawer.
This made Audrey look confused!
There should not be many people who know Audrey’s private phone number. So, this
could not be some harassing call from an obsessive fan.
“Kim, what’s going on with you? Who’s calling? You’re so excited.”
Audrey pulled open the drawer, ready to take her cell phone. Kim had a peculiar
expression on his face. His facial expressions were distorted.
He said sarcastically, “Who else could it be? It’s that high and mighty Mrs. Swann!
“This is already the third time she’s called!”
Kim was very happy to know that Catherine had taken over the power of the Swanns.
He had met a lot of famous noble ladies, but he had not seen many noble ladies as rude
as Rachael.
He guaranteed that if this call were not answered, Rachael would definitely call a fourth,
fifth, or even more times until Audrey got through.
Hearing Kim’s mockery, Audrey looked a little sad. After taking a deep breath, she said
something that seemed to be saying to Kim and more like to comfort herself.
“My Dad is sick right now. Maybe there’s something wrong going on at the hospital. I’d
better pick it up!”
Watching Audrey pick up the phone, Kim could not help but complain in a low voice,
“You’re not a doctor. What’s the point of them calling you?”
The moment the phone call was connected, Rachael’s harsh curse came from the receiver.
“Damn girl, I’ve called you so many times. You don’t even know how to answer them? Are
you dead?”
Rachael’s voice was loud. Even if Audrey did not turn on hands-free, Kim could still hear it
very clearly.
If it were not for Audrey being Audrey’s mother, Kim would have started cursing her long
ago.
Kim chided in his mind, “She deserves to be a noble lady? She’s so vulgar and worse than
a shrew!”
Audrey was also helpless. She could only try to keep her tone calm and not escalate the
conflict any further.
“Mom, I just finished my filming. How am I supposed to answer your call when I was
hanging on a wire?”
Hearing Audrey’s explanation, there was silence on the other end of the line for a few
seconds.
Audrey then took the initiative to break the awkwardness.
“What can I do for you?”
Rachael became much more straightforward. She opened her mouth to state her purpose
without hesitation.
“Hurry up and transfer me one million dollars!”
This statement surprised Audrey a bit.
“Mom, why do you suddenly need so much money?”
“Isn’t it just one million dollars?” Rachael’s tone was very dismissive.
Her attitude made it seem like she was asking for one hundred dollars instead of one
million dollars.
“Just transfer it to me. Cut the crap!”

Kim was desperately trying to stop Audrey. Luckily, Audrey had not completely lost her
reason.
“Mom, you tell me what you want all this money for all of a sudden first.”
Although Rachael was unwilling to explain, she still explained to Audrey for the sake of
money.
“The money is definitely to pay for your father’s medical expenses. Don’t talk nonsense.
Hurry up and transfer the money to me!”
After saying that, Rachael hung up the phone unceremoniously.
She did not even want to say a word more to Audrey.
Only after the call ended did Kim dare to come forward to Audrey and complain.
“Audrey, you don’t want to give her one million dollars, do you? You already did a lot for
them these days, but they are not grateful at all. They’re asking for one million dollars
from you as if they’re asking for one hundred dollars. Who can make money so fast?”
It was one million dollars, not one hundred dollars.
Seeing Audrey’s brows furrowed and her struggling, Kim hastened to dissuade her at the
side.
“Audrey, you have to think clearly. You think I don’t know how much money you have?
Besides, why should you carry all the pressure alone? Don’t your Mom and Liana have
money?”
Audrey had told Kim most of what was going on. Therefore, Kim knew Rachael and Liana
had much more money than Audrey.
They did not want to use their money to pay the medical bill, so they planned to take
money from Audrey. They were so disgusting.
When they had money, they were condescending in front of Audrey and mocked her.
Now that they did not have that much money, they treated Audrey as an ATM. They asked
for one million dollars from Audrey without feeling ashamed.
Kim’s persuasion made Audrey’s mind sober.
She thought to herself, “My Mom has more money than I do, but she just doesn’t want to
use it to pay Dad’s medical bills.
“I can’t go on like this.” After that, Audrey handed her cell phone to Kim.
“I’ll leave this matter to you!”
Kim breathed a faint sigh of relief. He finally convinced Audrey. He then reported to
Catherine about the matter secretly.
