Chapter 1424


    It seemed that Gail was willing to spend a few hundred thousand to send his son off somewhere


    else to study.


    No wonder he was unwilling to ept my fifty thousand. Initially, I found it strange that they were


    still living so frugally despite the fact that they had already received the betrothal gifts. It turned out


    that they had spent all the money on their son.


    No wonder I didn''t see that boy thest two times I visited them. It was most likely that he had


    already been sent abroad. All parents were willing to give anything for their children to have bright


    futures.


    The furious people were still outside the house. Gail was so anxious that he was at a loss about


    what to do. He looked like he was panicking. His hands were sped together, but they kept


    trembling.


    "What should we do? Are they going to burn the house down? What should we do?" Laura was so


    distressed 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 you


    have to go and apply for identification papers for all your children right away. Only then will I hand


    you the money."


    He was a little hesitant, but Laura was scared out of her wits. She started tugging at my shirt, but


    Sheridan stepped in and pulled her aside. She was so intimidated that she took a few steps back as


    she said, "Miss Reid, please help us. We have no other way out, I''m begging you."


    Sheridan pursed his lips and stared at them, "Everyone, Miss Reid has made it very clear to you her


    conditions. 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 different


    from you. You probably think that I am going to ruin my children''s futures. But from the moment they


    were 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 I


    won''t agree to let all the other children have identification papers of their own. I will apply for Abby''s


    identification, but you have to promise me that you will pay me everything in sum, after that, I won''t


    care 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 he


    had done seemed like simple greed but in reality, he had his own schemes. He positioned himself to


    seem both harmless and innocent, but he was very aware of what he had done. If something


    happened and he got exposed, it would seem like he was just an innocent farmer who was ripped


    off 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 will


    agree to your conditions?"


    He calmed down, looked at me and said, "Yes, you will. You are wealthy. Figures like these are not


    really important to you people and you guys are very willing to pay out tens of thousands of dors


    just for legalities. Even if you are not willing, I''m pretty sure that Mr. Hathaway is not aware that you


    came looking for me. If I tell him this, I''m certain that your daughter''s surgery will be postponed


    further. I''m pretty sure you know how to weigh the pros and cons of this situation."
