Chapter 140 There Always Should Be A Price
‘then what do you mean?” “Mrs. Gu, you are such a good talker. If it weren’t for Annie’s reminder, you would have snatched my smart nephew, grandson and granddaughter from me!”
In the bathroom, the sixth child, who were about to come out, heard these words and silently retreated to close the door.
Then she sat on the toilet and dialed a number with Jane’s phone.
At the same time, in the CEO Office of JS group.
Leaning against the chair, Bill stared at the diamond ring in his hand, lost in thought.
This blood diamond was the only one in the world that he had just auctioned. It was called the tear of the blue bird, and there was a love story behind it.
He didn’t believe legend, but on that day, Andy was tied up and her ring finger was empty. He thought that she attached great importance to the engagement ring, so he bought it at the auction and made it into a ring.
But he didn’t know how to send it out.
“Buzz -” the phone vibrated.
“Who’s that?”
“Uncle Handsome, I am the sixth child!”
‘the sixth child?” Bill thought of that cute chubby girl and smiled, “how could you have my number?”
“Uncle Jiang gave me his phone last time. I saw it inside.” Afraid of being discovered, the sixth child whispered in a low voice.
In fact, she wanted uncle Jiang’s phone on purpose to see the number of the Uncle Handsome.
But she wouldn’t tell him that her second elder brother had said that girls should be reserved, or boys wouldn’t like them. Uncle Handsome was also a boy, so she couldn’t let him not like her!Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay.” ‘so what do you want from me?” Bill asked.
“Uncle Handsome, come and help my mommy. Uncle Edward brought a bad lady to my house and wanted to separate us from Mommy. I’m so angry!” She held the phone and made exaggerated expressions.
His eyes darkened. He put the ring back into his pocket and said, “I’ll be right there. Take your phone and open the door for uncle.”
“Okay, uncle. I promise to complete the task!” The sixth nodded at the phone seriously and then hung up. She sat on the toilet and waited with a serious look. It seemed the little guy had constipation.
In fact, the boys were watching a spy movie recently. She had watched a few movies with them, and from time to time, a female spy would appear.
In the living room, the atmosphere was getting more and more tense.
“Edward, you should be very clear that the child was raised by me. It has nothing to do with the Gu. Are you sure you want to make such a mess?” She looked at Edward with a stern look.
“Of course I won’t.”
Edward was not an unreasonable person. Back then, he had signed a written agreement of voluntary donation, which said that the child was born without any relationship with him, and he naturally had no right to take the child back.
But he couldn’t make a decision for Britney.
Maybe he shouldn’t have let her come!
“Mom, let’s go home first!” Edward said in a tough tone.
“Whether we go home or not, we have to face it sooner or later.” Britney sat still on the sofa, her face red and pale. “If you are always indecisive, when can we settle it? Your child will continue to be laughed at for having no father?”
Her words directly pointed out Edward’s predicament. For a long time, he had no words to refute.
He had no choice but to face it directly.
By that time, when he was called back by the army, only Andy would be left to face Britney alone. It was indeed better to discuss a suitable solution now.
“my children must be with their mother. Mother, don’t say those contradictory words.” Edward insisted on his bottom line.
He had never thought that he would let her suffer the separation with children.
“You said that just because you are not sober enough.” Britney waved her hand disapprovingly. “Look at your brother, Bob. He is living a good life now. It’s all my contribution that he can make progress like this. You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll handle it myself.”
Bob leaned against the TV cabinet in silence, unable to say a word.
Such an anxious scene did not affect him to think like an outsider.
How is he doing? he asked himself.
Maybe living a good life in the eyes of the elders is good, isn’t it?
But he knew very well that there was something missing in his heart. What was that?
Thinking of this, he raised his head and smiled bitterly.
Edward had a lot to say, but in front of outsiders, he had no choice but to save his mother’s face.
Britney took it as acquiescence. She opened her bag, took out a checkbook, put it on the table, and signed it page by page.
“the maximum amount of the check from the Gu is five million. I’ll sign it. You can fill in the number and fulfill it. I’ll write it one by one. When you stop, I’ll tear off all the signed things and give them to you.”
Speaking of this, she turned a page and continued to write, “is ten enough or twenty? There should always be a price.”
The last sentence was said with a smile, as if she was humorous and generous.
“Please get out.” Andy’s face turned livid.
Britney paused, “we can go out, but we have to take away my child.”
Then he closed the checkbook and looked at Andy and Jane aggressively.
Edward couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked up to her and pulled her up. “Come back with me. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”
Britney shook off his hand and said angrily, “why should I be ashamed? I have to take my child back today. I’ll see who dares to stop me!”
Then she walked towards the study.
Andy and Jane immediately stepped forward to stop them.
“Edward, if your mother keeps doing this, I will call the police!”
Edward and Bob also hurried to pull her back. “Mom, don’t do that. Are you crazy?”
They were entangled and couldn’t be separated.
A small figure sneaked out of the bathroom and crept to the door.
Britney grabbed Andy’s arm and pushed her aside, shouting, “you keep the child of the Gu secretly and don’t let us see him. Let’s see who the police will help!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a gloomy voice came from the door.
“Aunt, it seems that you still don’t keep my words in mind -”
All the people turned to look at Bill and saw him standing by the door, expressionless.
Next to him, the sixth held her hands in front of chests, puffing out cheeks in anger, as if she was going to fight.
