She Flash-Married To His Rival -
Chapter 181
Barclay seemed surprised and gazed at her face. "Dating?"
Moira's face flushed red, feeling utterly embarrassed, and wanted to disappear immediately.
She tapped her mouth twice. "I was joking, just trying to lighten the mood with a joke. Is it not funny?"
How awkward! She wanted to escape so badly!
Fortunately, at that moment, Barclay's phone rang.
Without waiting for him to speak, Moira tactfully said, "I suddenly remembered something I have to do." Then, she dashed upstairs.
Back in her room, Moira buried her face in the pillow.
Thinking about her nonsense just now, she wished she could sew her mouth shut.
Rolling on the bed, she remembered Cynthia's 6 million dollars check.
Moira picked up the check from beside her pillow, even miscounting the zeros after the "6" on her first attempt.
It was indeed 6 million dollars!
Moira couldn't believe it. How did she suddenly get 6 million dollars?
She couldn't fathom Cynthia's motives.
Taking her phone, she quickly sent a message to Juliet with a photo of the check. [I don't understand Cynthia's mindset. She thanked me this morning and then handed me a 6 million dollar check!] Juliet instantly replied: [Could it be that Cynthia likes you, not Barclay?]
Moira was rendered speechless by Juliet's message. She wasn't into that!
Suddenly, Moira felt uneasy about the "6 million dollars" in her hands. At lunchtime, she had to bring up the issue with Barclay.
She asked, "Mr. Covington, could you help me return Ms. Hurst's 6 million dollars?"
Barclay glanced at the check in her hand. "Why should you return it? Isn't it rightfully yours?"
Moira added, "Don't you replace it strange? Cynthia is your fiancée. She jumped into the pool last night, and today she came to thank me..."
Moira increasingly felt like Cynthia was setting her up.
Barclay looked at her. "It is indeed strange."
He paused for a moment before saying, "But she gave you the check. Even if she regrets it, you don't need to return it. Besides, she hasn't changed her mind." Moira replied, "True, I just worry she's setting me up."
"Would you set someone up by giving them 6 million dollars?" Barclay looked at her and smiled. "Then when are you planning to set me up?" Moira was stunned. He had a point.
Although Barclay reassured her to use the 6 million dollars comfortably, Moira still felt uneasy.
She hadn't experienced such a windfall before, and 6 million dollars was a huge sum for her.
Money was tempting, but one should handle money properly.
Moira put away the check, thinking about the "80 million dollars" from last night. She decided to call someone to have it looked into.
But before she could make the call, someone arranged by Barclay arrived.
Moira breathed a sigh of relief. With such an expensive necklace, any damage would cost thousands to repair.
Just as Moira stepped out of the study, her phone received a friend request. [I am Cynthia.]
Was this to ask for the 6 million dollars back?
