Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke came forward and touched it together.

Joshua was purely out of curiosity.

While Christy just didn’t believe it.

However, once they touched it, they could feel the difference.

Looking closely, they could even see some small bubbles forming in places.

“The most significant expense for me was buying cameras and lenses,” Cindy didn’t care about Christy, she went straight to Joshua.

“Dad, can you see the difference through the lens?” Cindy opened the camera and showed it to Joshua.

Indeed, it changed instantly through the lens.

“This…” Joshua was amazed.

“From the lens, the entire color tone became high-end, didn’t it?” Cindy said, “The walls that weren’t so white turned out white and clean. You can’t see that I stuck stickers on the cabinets, even the small bubbles are invisible.”

“Isn’t it the same as what you saw in the video?” Cindy asked.

Joshua nodded: “It’s the same.”

Even the angle was the same.

“I really didn’t expect that it would be so different when put in the lens,” Joshua surprised.

“Maybe the fans and Zoe Silverstone think I am quite rich,” Cindy said.

“After all, I’m a blogger. I shouldn’t look too shabby, should I? Otherwise, it won’t look good on the camera. No matter what each blogger’s home is like in private, they all appear marvelous in front of the lens.”

“Just like so many people in Nork City, where they dress glamorously on the street, but who knows what kind of house they rent when they go home? Many celebrities initially lived in basements when they first came to Nork City, but they still needed to be confident when filming. Who would know how bitter their private life really is?”

“That’s my current situation,” Cindy said with a disappointed tone, “I never dared to contact home because I was afraid of adding to the family’s burden, but I didn’t expect that the family’s conditions had already improved so much.”

Cindy’s eyes lit up again, “You’ve been in Belfard for so long, and you’ve always been living in such a nice hotel. The hotel room is much larger and brighter than my place.”

“You’ve suffered,” Joshua sighed.

However, he still didn’t mention giving her money.

Previously, when they were in the hotel, she had explicitly stated that she wanted some money to improve her living conditions.

But now, standing inside her “home,” Joshua didn’t bring it up.

Cindy chuckled inside, thanking heavens she didn’t have to rely on her family for help.

Even in her most difficult times, she never thought anyone could help her.

She made it through all by herself.

Moreover, Cindy didn’t really want their money.

She just wanted to scare them away as quickly as possible.

Cindy casually said: “About the money…”

“What money!” As soon as Christy heard the word “money,” she became energetic and high-pitched.

“You sold me and got 10 million, and the money spent raising me for the past 19 years would leave you with a couple million left.”

“I don’t want your several million, just give me half a million,” Cindy said, “If you’re unwilling to give it all at once, you can give it in installments, or use rent to offset it.”

“Let me improve my living conditions here in Belfard,” Cindy said.

“You’re farting!” Christy scolded angrily, “I told you, there isn’t that 10 million!”

“Oh, so explain where the sudden influx of money at home came from? Don’t tell me there were investors. If there were, tell me their names, I’ll investigate them.”

“You want money? No way!” Christy was furious.

They were here to ask Cindy for money, so how come they had to give her money instead?

It was absolutely impossible!

“You can’t do this. You enjoy the good life at home and live in a big villa,” Cindy said, “You don’t need to deny it. Zoe Silverstone has already told me.”

“That shameless Zoe Silverstone!” If Zoe were here, Christy would tear her face apart.

Did Zoe think she was a double agent, playing both sides?

Telling them about Cindy and then leaking their secrets to Cindy?

Not only that, but she even took advantage of buying tickets to make money from them.

Cindy claimed she didn’t do anything.

She “unintentionally” mentioned Zoe Silverstone occasionally, just to brainwash Christy Xenos.

Cindy didn’t expect the results to be so good.

Now Christy had completely lost trust in Zoe.

She didn’t believe anything Zoe had said.

“It’s so cramped here, what are you squeezing here for!” Christy said quickly.

Ignoring Cindy’s words, she dragged Joshua away.

Cindy, fearing that they would run away, followed closely behind.

“Dad,” Cindy tugged on Joshua’s arm.

The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel together.

“Since I’ve come here,” Cindy said, “Why don’t I open another room? I’ll stay here tonight? It’s just… Dad, the money for the hotel stay…”

“We have no money!” Christy Xenos chimed in, “If you want to stay, spend your own money! Don’t think about using ours!”

“Dad?” Cindy looked at Joshua with hopeful eyes, “Dad, you’ve been apologizing to me for being sorry and putting me through hardships, saying that you have been an unqualified father.”

“So now, if I want to live better, will you satisfy me? The past grievances can’t be taken back. My grievances are there to stay, and no matter how much you comfort me, it’s useless,” Cindy said.

“So, is it possible to make it up for me? Make up for the past grievances, starting from now,” Cindy directly asked Joshua, “Dad, will you make it up to me?”

She wanted to see his reaction after making it so clear.

Joshua was caught off guard and speechless.

“This… this…” Joshua stammered for a long time, saying, “I… The money at home is managed by your mom and sister. Your sister just gives me some pocket money every month, not much, about five thousand a month.”

After all, Nork City was not big, and Joshua didn’t have any high-consumption hobbies.

With five thousand a month, he couldn’t even spend it all.

“I can’t give you that half a million all at once,” Joshua said with difficulty.

“Dad, does this mean… I won’t have a single penny? Previously, you kept saying sorry to me, and that you let me suffer. Are those just sweet words?” Cindy looked at Joshua disappointedly.
