Female Novel
Chapter 1424
It seemed that Gail was willing to spend a few hundred thousand to send his son off somewhereelse to study.
No wonder he was unwilling to accept my fifty thousand. Initially, I found it strange that they werestill living so frugally despite the fact that they had already received the betrothal gifts. It turned outthat they had spent all the money on their son.
No wonder I didn't see that boy the last two times I visited them. It was most likely that he hadalready been sent abroad. All parents were willing to give anything for their children to have brightfutures.
The furious people were still outside the house. Gail was so anxious that he was at a loss aboutwhat to do. He looked like he was panicking. His hands were clasped together, but they kepttrembling.
"What should we do? Are they going to burn the house down? What should we do?" Laura was sodistressed that she kept repeating herself.
Gail was at a loss. Perhaps because he had no other choice, he looked at me and said, "Miss Reid,please help us!"
I pursed my lips and was not in a hurry to speak. I stared at him and said, "I can help you, but youhave to go and apply for identification papers for all your children right away. Only then will I handyou the money."
He was a little hesitant, but Laura was scared out of her wits. She started tugging at my shirt, butSheridan stepped in and pulled her aside. She was so intimidated that she took a few steps back asshe said, "Miss Reid, please help us. We have no other way out, I'm begging you."novelbin
Sheridan pursed his lips and stared at them, "Everyone, Miss Reid has made it very clear to you herconditions. We won't just give out money for free."
Gail stared at me with widened eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Reid, I am differentfrom you. You probably think that I am going to ruin my children's futures. But from the moment theywere born in this family, they had to bear this responsibility. This is a fact and it can't be changed.You wish for Abby to have proper identification and undergo her surgery. I don't oppose that, but Iwon't agree to let all the other children have identification papers of their own. I will apply for Abby'sidentification, but you have to promise me that you will pay me everything in sum, after that, I won'tcare about what you do to
Abby in the future."
I frowned and suddenly realized that this person wasn't as stupid as I thought. Everything that hehad done seemed like simple greed but in reality, he had his own schemes. He positioned himself toseem both harmless and innocent, but he was very aware of what he had done. If somethinghappened and he got exposed, it would seem like he was just an innocent farmer who was rippedoff by a businessman. Everyone would sympathize with him then.
I really couldn't underestimate him. Looking at him, I smiled lightly, "What makes you think that I willagree to your conditions?"
He calmed down, looked at me and said, "Yes, you will. You are wealthy. Figures like these are notreally important to you people and you guys are very willing to pay out tens of thousands of dollarsjust for legalities. Even if you are not willing, I'm pretty sure that Mr. Hathaway is not aware that youcame looking for me. If I tell him this, I'm certain that your daughter's surgery will be postponedfurther. I'm pretty sure you know how to weigh the pros and cons of this situation."
