Chapter 278 Karma Will Certainly Get Him

After a brief moment of hesitation, Desmond nodded and advised Jacqueline. “Please be cautious. Don’t allow her to make any more foolish decisions. If necessary, we may have to involve her parents”

“Understood. I will provide her with guidance.”

To avoid causing a disturbance, the university denied the incident of the girl jumping off the building and instead explained it as a result of her losing her balance while engaging in horseplay on the fifth floor, leading to an accidental fall.

Furthermore, they used this incident as a warning to students that horseplay in the corridors would not be tolerated in the future. Any observed instances would result in a warning and disciplinary action.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline spent over an hour counseling Laila before finally uncovering the reason behind. her attempted suicide.

Laila came from a humble background and had been working part–time jobs off–campus since she started attending university.

However, three months ago, her father fell ill and was hospitalized.

The hospital diagnosed him with acute kidney failure.

Despite receiving treatment, his condition not only failed to improve but also progressed to chronic kidney failure. His situation was extremely dire.

The hospital recommended an immediate kidney transplantation.

The total cost of the operation, including the kidney, amounted to around five to six hundred thousand.

It was an exorbitant fee.

Considering Laila’s family situation, it was simply impossible for them to gather such a sum of money. Moreover, her father’s hospitalization had already incurred significant expenses. Raising another five to six hundred thousand was an enormous challenge.

Additionally, the hospital was pressuring them, stating that another patient had already reserved the kidney. If the operation fee was not paid within three days, the kidney would be given to someone else.

Laila knew that if she missed this opportunity, it was uncertain when they would find another matching kidney donor.

Perhaps her father would not be able to hold on until then.

However, raising such a large sum of money in just three days was utterly impossible for her.

Just when Laila was at her wit’s end, a friend she met while working part–time told her about a way to obtain the needed funds, but it would require some personal sacrifice.

Naturally, she understood what this so–called sacrifice entailed.

She was conflicted, but the thought of being able to save her father’s life quickly led her to relent.

Thus, she was introduced to David Dickerson, the owner of Imperial Club, by her so–called friend.

David romised that as long as she complied, he would provide her with a substantial amount of money afterward.

Naively, Laila believed him, but to her surprise, he immediately betrayed her after having his way with her. He even secretly recorded a video, threatening to make it public if she dared to cause any trouble.

This blow devastated her.

She was too ashamed to face her parents again.

Feeling despondent, she returned to school. Despite aimlessly wandering around, she couldn’t let go of the matter, which led her to make such a foolish decision.

After listening to Laila’s tearful words, Jacqueline felt a surge of anger.

She said, “That’s someone else’s mistake, my dear. You shouldn’t bear the consequences. The one who deserves to suffer is David from Imperial Club. Think about it again. Your father is already sick and hospitalized. If you were to commit suicide, can you imagine the immense pain it would cause your mother?”

Laila broke down in tears.

Jacqueline patiently comforted her.

Once Laila’s emotions had somewhat stabilized, Jacqueline softly reassured her, “Ms. Kemppainen, you need to come to terms with this and stop making such foolish decisions. As for your father’s illness, yo don’t need to worry too much. I will help you find a solution. And as for David, karma will certainly catch up with him.”

At Imperial Club, a man with a scarred face sat on the couch, puffing on a cigar.

The slender man beside him asked with a sycophantic smile, “Mr. Dickerson, were you satisfied with the girl I brought you today?”

“Haha, she had such lovely breasts, and she was still a virgin. In the future, let’s look for more innocen and easily deceived girls like her,” the man with a scar on his face said, laughing heartily as he lazily blew smoke rings. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
