    Chapter 944 Take Care of the Five Million, Guys


    With a sullen expression, Norman asked, “Helen, didn’t you say that this matter has been resolved?


    So, what’s happening now?”


    By now, Helen had already figured out that these were all nned by Matthew, but of course, she


    wouldn’t let the cat out of the bag. Instead, she sighed in exasperation. “The incidentst time almost


    cost the life of President Sandel’s daughter. Even though she didn’t mention it back then, she had been


    keeping this grudge in her heart the whole time. When you guys went back previously, she didn’t get


    the chance to see you, so she had put this matter aside. But you guys showed up here again in the


    end. As a person who can’t tolerate any mistakes, she’s here looking for you guys to settle this score!”


    “Then… what should we do now?” Norman asked anxiously. “She’s asking for five million. Where are


    we supposed to find so much money?”


    “I don’t care how, but don’te to us!” James said. “President Sandel has already made it clear that


    it’ll be a billion if we’re the ones paying.”


    Knitting her brows tightly, Pa suddenly uttered, “Why is she doing this? Why will it be five million if


    we’re paying and a billion if they’re the ones paying? She’s obviously walking all over us! James, did


    you guys purposely invite Leanna Sandel here to pick on us?”


    Demi snorted. “Cut the crap, Aunt Pa! We don’t know why President Sandel turned up here today.


    But remember this, even if she’s picking on you, you don’t have what it takes to fight back. In Eastcliff,


    just one word from her and you’ll lose your life. Fortunately, you guys started pleading from the


    beginning, or else, nobody can say for sure that you’ll live to see tomorrow!”


    “I don’t think she’s that powerful to do anything—” Pa burst out angrily. But before she could finish


    her sentence, the man Leanna left behind pped her across the face.


    “Watch your words, or I’ll knock out all of your teeth!” he threatened.


    Although furious, Pa didn’t dare to utter another word because Leanna’s dominance was still here


    despite her absence.


    Then, James roared intoughter. “The situation is clear now! We’ll take care of Chloe’s twenty-five


    million. But uh, we can’t pay Jojo’s share of five million. So, all of you have to put your money together


    ande up with five million.”


    Everyone was stunned, and a woman said, “W-We don’t have that much money. How are we going to


    Nodding, Norman agreed. “Exactly! We’re poor, and I don’t think we have a million even if we put all

    our savings together. There’s no way we cane up with five million.”


    “That’s not a problem!” Matthew said with a chuckle. “You still have your houses, don’t you? You should


    have enough if you sell your houses. This is a matter of life and death. I’m sure nobody wants to see


    Uncle Norman and his entire family dead in this city.”


    Chuckling loudly, James added, “He’s right! You can sell your houses, and if all of you sell your houses,


    you cane up with around six million. There’s even some leftover to pay for rentals after that. How


    fitting! Hahaha!”


    Right now, James was really delighted. Earlier, these people kept attacking them nonstop, and it was


    finally his turn to fight back, letting out all the frustrations he had suffered.


    After a long silence, the eldest in the Freeman Family, Elena Freeman, mmed the table and sprang


    up from her seat. “This is none of my business! I’m not going to sell my house because of this. No


    matter what, I’m staying out of this issue.”


    “Oh my, Aunt Elena,” Demi gasped. “That’s not the way to say things. How could you do this when


    we’re a family? This wasn’t your attitude at all when you wanted us to help out Aunt Chloe earlier. So,


    it’s okay for our family to fork out the money, but not yours? This doesn’t make any sense!”
