Chapter 235


    Connor caught a glimpse of the cleaner cleaning up the coffee table as he passed through the


    reception area. There, on the table, was a lunchbox just like his own, and his gaze instantly turned


    icy.


    “Throw it away.”


    “Throw away what?” The cleaner was confused and looked up at him nkly.


    Connor pointed at the lunchbox on the table, his tone impatient, “The lunchbox.”


    The cleaner paused for a moment. “Understood.” She immediately tossed the lunchbox into the


    trash bag.

    Connor stood at the doorway, with his hands in his pockets. His face was stern, and his dark eyes


    wereplex with emotion.


    He pondered silently. Why did she give her lunch to that woman...


    Seeing Connor’s displeased expression, the cleaner grew nervous, and her movements hastened.


    She carefully wiped down the coffee table, fearing to further upset the imposing boss.


    A thinyer of sweat appeared on her forehead as she thought to herself, “Oh my, the big boss is


    watching me clean... does he have nothing better to do?”


    “Mr. Connor, all the meeting participants have arrived,” n approached and informed him.


    Connor acknowledged and turned to leave.


    The cleaner finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

    Cam went to the bank, deposited the funds into the specified government ount, and took the


    receipt.


    Leaving the bank, Cam felt her spirits sink. As she looked up at the distant blue sky, she thought


    of her mother’s life savings, now gone.


    When would she ever be able to give her mother a happy life?


    She took a deep breath and dialed ire’s number. “Mom, I’ve made the payment. We can go pick


    up Drew now.”


    ...


    The family sat in the police station’s waiting room. The atmosphere was heavy, and everyone was


    silent.


    Riley handed the receipt to the officer in charge, who after verifying it, signed the release


    paperwork.


    Soon, Drew was brought out. He looked pale, and his eyes were hollow.


    When he saw his family waiting, his tears involuntarily began to fall. He walked towards them, but


    suddenly his legs gave way, and he knelt on the floor.


    Drew knelt before them, sobbing uncontrobly.


    Melinda hurriedly came to his aid.


    “Mom, I’m sorry for worrying you,” Drew cried, with tears rolling down his cheeks. “I''m sorry. I


    shouldn’t have made you and the family worry.”


    “That damn York!” Melinda cursed. Her hands trembled as she stroked Drew’s head. “He ruined


    you, that bastard!”


    Drew hugged his mother tightly, crying loudly. All the pressure and torment of the past days were


    released in this moment.


    Riley stepped forward, helping Drew to stand.


    “Grandma...” Drew looked at his grandmother, who tightly held his hand. “My dear grandson, I even


    used all my savings for you.”


    Grandma choked up, “From now on, you’re all I have...”


    Drew’s eyes were filled with tears. “I know, Grandma. I’ll work hard to give you a good life.”


    “Let’s go. No need to stay here anymore,” ire said gently. “Let’s go home. Take a shower. Eat


    something...”


    The family quietly exited the police station.


    Riley nced back at the imposing building and couldn’t help but spit towards the entrance, “Such a


    cursed ce!”


    They hailed two taxis to go home.


    Drew and Cam were in one, and the atmosphere inside was heavy.


    “Aunt ire, Cam...” Drew hung his head, speaking softly, “I’m sorry...”


    He fiddled with his trouser seam, sobbing uncontrobly. His shoulders shook as he said, “I know... I


    got out because Aunt ire offered seven hundred thousand. I’ve let you all down.”
