Chapter 125

Selena was at a loss of words. Fane treated money like nothing; it was as though those stacks of

banknotes were rolls of toilet paper to him. He was too generous t o the woman.

"Well, how much should I have given her? Should I go get it back?”

After thinking about it, however, Fane changed his mind. "Forget it. There’s no reason for me to collect

the water poured out from the bottle!"

Selena continued to stay speechless and merely gave him a dry smile. "Never mind. My husband is

earning 2 0 million a month, anyway! We’ll be rich after two months of you working for the Drake family,

and millionaires after a year or two."

"Honey, we're not short of money now, though..."

"Keep boasting, especially now that your pocket is almost empty." Selena clicked her tongue. "You

have t o learn how to manage your finances better, got that? I wouldn't be spending so much money on

dinner if it was not to trim Sonia's ego down."

"No, no, no! You have to start preparing to be a freaking rich woman, Honey,” Fane rebutted. "Besides,

I dream of having another wedding and take you out o n a private jet in the future!" "Are you sure? I

don't think it's a good idea, since we

have a four-year-old now. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for us to have another wedding?"

They continued to banter as they rode on the electric scooter. Joy and happiness bloomed inside

Selena like a warm ray of sunshine that melted her ice-cold heart.

Selena slowly realized that love had blossomed between them as though they had just started dating.

Perhaps this was what people always said, 'fall for your spouse after marriage'.

On the other hand, after a series of terrifying events, Jessica did not stay long and left the KTV soon

after. She hailed a cab and went in it, and she soon arrived a t an old community housing area. She

returned to her home with the woven bag in her arms.

"Lil brother, why did you discharge Father from the hospital?"

Jessica was startled at the presence of her father. Her father, who was supposed to be receiving

treatment in the ward, was lying in the dilapidated old rental house.

"We've spent every penny, yet there's still a 30 thousand bill from the hospital waiting for us. The doctor

said that we don’t have to pay the bill, but our father can no longer be treated in the hospital. We have

no choice but to bring him back," Jessica's mother replied. "Your father is about to get the surgery the

day after tomorrow. What now? How can we afford the 100 thousand operation when we can't even

pay u p the 30 thousand outstanding balance?"

Jessica's younger brother, Jack Fair, sighed as well." It's all my fault! I'm so useless that I can't get a

high-paying job! Not only our father's operation cost, but I can't even support our family expenses!

Even if we managed to pay the operation fee, what about the postsurgery recuperation cost? That’s a

different bill on its own!"

It was only then when Jack noticed that his sister was in a disheveled state. Her hair was disheveled

like beached kelp after a storm, and her clothes were torn a t the sides. "This is strange, Sister.

Shouldn't you be finished with your work at two in the morning? It's only a little bit after 10 in the

evening, so why are you back early?" he asked.

"Lady Luck has obviously left me behind today." Jessica breathed a deep sigh and continued, "I met a

group of b*stards today at work, and they want me to sle..." She trailed off before she continued,"

Fortunately, the kind Mr. Woods rescued me from their dirty hands! If you were there with me, you'd

know how amazing Mr. Woods truly is! Dozens of b* stards fell to the ground without even touching the

corner of his shirt. I feel like this Mr. Woods is no ordinary man. Those underlings of Young Master

Clock or Clarke-whatever-were terrified of him!”

"Wow! That's so cool! How I wish I could be like him!"

Jake daydreamed with admiration plastered on his face. Only then did he notice the woven bag in his

sister's arm. "Sis, why did you bring this large woven bag from work? Are you collecting recyclable

items to earn some?"novelbin

"I don’t know what’s inside the bag, either. Mrs. Woods had Mr. Woods help me out, and he handed me

this bag," Jessica responded with a sense of confusion in her tone. 2

’’This woven bag...is filled up with garbage, isn’t it? Still ...that’s not right. Would you go to an opulent

place to have fun with a bag like this?"

Jack unzipped the woven bag as he spoke mindlessly t 0 himself.

His jaw nearly went unhinged before he clamped his mouth shut.

"My Lord, it's money! T-This is too much money!"

"What? Money?”

Jessica’s and her mother’s jaws dropped at his words and immediately went over to see the content

inside the woven bag. Hot tears filled up their eyes in an instant. With this amount of money, their father

could be saved!
