Chapter 134 A Threat
“Yeah…” The cla*smates continued discussing among themselves.
Lucy frowned and rebuked. “How dare you mention that two thousand?”
In fact, besides Cherise, no one was considered poor in their cla*s. Everyone received an average allowance of six thousand monthly. They only forked out less than a hundred each for Cherise during the crowdfunding. Yet, they thought they had done her a huge favor and wanted her to settle the bill for their extravagant spending tonight.
Cherise inhaled deeply and uttered, “I almost forgot about it if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
She reached out her hand to Lucy. “Lucy, please lend me some money”
Lucy immediately understood her intention. She took out five thousand from her wallet and pa*sed it to Cherise.
Cherise slapped the note on the table. “This is my repayment for your kindness back then. I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring cash. I’ll divide another five thousand equally and transfer the money to your bank accounts tonight. You gave me two thousand: I’m returning ten thousand in less than a month. The interest is exceptionally high.”
Lucy was so impressed by Cherise’s calmness that she had the urge to applaud her! Although Cherise was usually easygoing, she remained clear-headed in a severe situation. like this.
A stern visage flashed across Sunny’s face. “Cherry, this is not how you make the calculation. When you were in trouble, we reached out to help you. A-Although the sum wasn’t big, it was a timely help, wasn’t it? You can’t repay our kindness like this just because our contribution was little.”
Cherise smiled at Sunny. “I’m a grateful person. But you shouldn’t take advantage of me and ask me to pay for this meal that cost over eight hundred thousand. This amount is enough to treat two terminally ill children or build a decent primary school in hometown. Not to mention I don’t have so much money; even if I do, I’ll use it for more. meaningful things rather than…”

She paused to glance at the messy scene. “Rather than spending in on a meal for a group of people who never respect me.” Cherise’s words were realistic and cold.
Her cla*smates became speechless. Moments later, Sunny regained his composure and said to Cherise, “You’re overthinking it, Cherry. We never looked down on you.”
“Is it?” Cherise wore a half-smile and turned to look at the receptionist. I’ve finished what I want to say. The five thousand on the table is for paying their bill. As for the remainder,

deal with them however you want.”
She didn’t have the obligation to pay for these wasteful people who never respected her.
With that, Cherise turned to leave, but Sunny swiftly dragged her back and gripped her neck. “Do you want to see us arrested by the police? Cherise Shaw, you heartless woman!”
Lucy and the receptionist were caught off guard. The latter quickly went to get help while Lucy scowled. “Sunny, what are you doing?!”
“What am I doing?” Sunny grabbed a table knife, placed it at Cherise’s neck, and glared at Lucy. “Aren’t you her best friend? Call her family now and ask them to send money over!”
Cherise furrowed her brows and rebuked, “Sunny Wood, you’re going against the law!”
“Is it?” Sunny sneered. “Threatening you to pay the bill is going against the law. If we can’t

the bill, we’re also going against the law and will be arrested by the police. The results are the same either way!”
