My Classmate Bragged About Her Dad’s Yacht, Unaware My Mom Paid for It Chapter 10

I could not even be bothered to look at them.

I walked up to Jasmine and looked down at her.

“You said earlier that young people shouldn’t be too spoiled by comfort and should experience how regular people live.”

“Five and a half million dollars in debt, plus that bottle of wine worth almost half a million.”

“I hope you and your mother enjoy that kind of life for the rest of your days.”

Jasmine’s defenses completely broke.

She threw herself forward, clung tightly to my leg, and burst into loud sobs.

“Chloe, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

“I didn’t know the yacht was yours. I’ll never do it again.”

“Please don’t make me pay it back. I don’t have any money.”

A bodyguard strode forward, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and threw her aside.

“Stay away from Miss Shaw.”

Jasmine hit the asphalt hard, scraping her palms bloody.

A red Porsche screeched to a stop beside the marina.

A woman with big, salon-styled waves and designer labels from head

to toreushedout.

ThatwasJasmine’smother,BiancaWells.

“The venture capital you raised back then came from fraudulent financial statements. If I hadn’t stepped in to clean up your mess, you would have rotted in prison ten years ago.”

A short, strangled sound caught in Gregory’s throat.

The trump card he had always been proudest of had been exposed long ago.

The police car door slammed shut, and the car sped away.

Bianca was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her car keys clattering by her feet.

My mother glanced sideways at her.

“Ms. Wells, every dollar you spent was stolen money Gregory embezzled from the company.”

“You’ll be served with a court summons this afternoon.”

“Five and a half million dollars in illegal proceeds, plus my bottle of wine worth almost half a million. You and your daughter can spend the rest of your lives paying it back from whatever basement apartment you end up in.”

Bianca twitched twice, then passed out cold on the ground.

Jasmine knelt beside her and shook her hard, wailing miserably.

Ryan and the other boys huddled in the corner, trembling like crazy.

Several officers walked straight over and pulled out their handcuffs.

“You are suspected of participating in attempted extortion and making false statements. Come with us to the station.”

The only sound left at the marina was Jasmine’s hopeless crying.
