Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 69

"If you ever dare to gamble again, I'll personally chop off your hands!" Travis gritted his teeth in fury.

"Why are you scaring him now that he's just woken up? There's no way he could have lost that much

money all by himself! It must have been that bitch Sabrina!" Melina shouted before marching towards

the hospital room door and calling Sabrina in.

After glancing at Kaleb, Sabrina lowered her head in guilt, unable to answer Melina's question.

"Mom... don't blame Rina... Someone was targeting me last night, it's the only reason we lost so much

money!" Kaleb's voice was weak, but his mind was clear, "It was Elijah... It has to be him! He's been

holding a grudge since I dated Violette, he hates me!"

"I know it was your uncle who did this! He's been holding a grudge against you! He doesn't respect

your father at all!" Melina exclaimed, "He has a big problem with his personality! He's not normal! We

shouldn't have messed with him!"

Travis forcefully shoved his wife, "What are you talking nonsense for in front of others!

If your son were more driven and ambitious, Elijah wouldn't have been able to harm him so effortlessly!

Look within yourself to find the root of the issue! The two of you give me a headache!

With that, Travis stormed off in a huff.

Melina broke down in tears.

"Mom! Stop crying! It's all my fault! I'm such a loser! Why did you guys even save me? I might as well

be dead!" Kaleb shouted.

"Kaleb! Don't say that... Even though you're not as successful as your uncle, you're still much better in

my eyes!" Sabrina comforted him, "You just need to recover. Once you're better, we'll find a way to get

back at your uncle! If he's gone, your dad won't compare you to him anymore."

Kaleb's mood suddenly calmed down.

Melina's crying abruptly stopped.

"Kaleb, you've seen Violette's true colors, haven't you? She's in cahoots with Elijah! Don't hold any

feelings for her anymore! We should get rid of them both! If they're gone, your uncle's fortune will be

ours." Sabrina revealed her ambitions.

Melina walked over, giving Sabrina a cold stare.

"What can you bring to the table? I heard your mom swindled a lot of money from the Dennis family,

why isn't she helping you pay off the debt from last night?!"

Sabrina pleaded, "Auntie, my mom does have a lot of money, but she's currently overseas doing

business. Once her business takes off, we might be wealthier than Elijah. The overseas market is

much larger..."

"Don't feed me such unrealistic stories! With the way you two gambled last night, no matter how much

money you have, you'll end up losing it all!" Melina rebuked. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"We won't gamble again! I promise!" Sabrina raised her hand, teary-eyed, "We were just curious and

wanted to try it out. We won't dare to do it again!"

"Kaleb is the only heir of the Bourne family, since Elijah won't have any descendants."

"Auntie, why is that? Does he have health issues?" Sabrina asked in confusion.

"You're not my daughter-in-law yet! I won't tell you anything!" Melina coldly replied, "I'll only forgive you

if you can help Kaleb in the future!"

"I will definitely find a way to help Kaleb. Auntie, trust me."

Later that evening, at a high-end restaurant.

Melinda had no appetite, holding a glass of red wine and scowling, "Derek, have you lost your mind?

Giving Violette a billion, are you trying to make me suffer more? If you feel like you have too much

money, just transfer it to my bank account, okay?"

Derek shook his head, "Melinda, if you need money, I can provide it. However, you're mistaken. Elijah

hurt you deeply, but it wasn't about money. He deceived your emotions. That's why I must respond in

kind."

"Heh... are you planning on pursuing Violette? Do you think Elijah will let you succeed? He's in love

with Violette." Melinda thought the whole thing was crazy, "Derek, don't get yourself involved. If you fall

out with Elijah, I'll be in a tough spot."

"I haven't had any dealings with him for a long time." Derek said nonchalantly, "Actually, my decision to

invest in the Dennis Group is also because the Dennis Group isn't as bad as it seems. As long as I step

in, I can turn the tide."

"I'm at odds with Violette, and yet you're helping her make money, are you trying to piss me off?"

Melinda glared at her brother.

"Think of it this way, if I help her like this, will she fall for me?"

"And if she doesn't? Brother, although you're also excellent, I think Elijah is more charming." Melinda

said, smitten, "He's obsessive, indifferent, restrained..."

"Heh, Melinda, do you know how his father died?" Derek swirled his glass of wine, saying each word

clearly, "His father was killed by him."
