"Joanna seems to have run into some difficulties lately, especially when it comes to finances. We had a quarrel over a small misunderstanding a while ago, and she's still mad at me. She won't even answer my phone calls, so even if I want to help her, there's no way I could."
"I'm really worried that Joanna might do something irrational in her desperation."
Annie's tone was full of concern for her sister Joanna throughout the conversation.
However, anyone with a bit of sensitivity could tell that there was another meaning hidden within her words.
The other meaning was that Joanna was in desperate need of money, and in that state, she would be willing to do anything for cash.
For example, finding a rich man and becoming his lover.
Everything she did was just for the money.
Any man hearing such words would feel uncomfortable.
After all, no man likes a woman who only cares about their money, even if it's true, they would still not want to face it directly.
