Chapter 591
Stephanie furrowed her brows, "Twenty thousand dollars?"
"No, two hundred thousand dollars."
"What, two hundred thousand dollars? We're supposed to cover the cost of an entire house?"
"The price of houses are soaring these days and the property he's into is pretty spacious. He's planning on having your grandparents live there, along with two children. Four bedrooms, one living room, over two hundred square meters in total. The house is in the suburbs, so the cost is somewhat reasonable, but he'll need to support the kids' education. He doesn't have much money, so two hundred thousand dollars should be enough for the down payment. Then there's the mortgage to pay." Carol explained. "He can't afford it, yet he's buying a house?"
Patty chuckled bitterly, "Isn't that what everyone else is doing? Your grandparents have never lived in a decent house at their age. Steph, your grandparents raised your mother. Even though they've been unhappy with her for years, they've never cut ties and have always considered her their daughter. Your mom hasn't given them much money over the years, so we can consider buying them a retirement house and we'll handle the mortgage. You guys just need to help with the down payment."
"Two hundred thousand dollars. We wouldn't make this much!" Stephanie said, displeased.
Even Marilyn frowned, "Dad, Mom, Sammy, you guys are really overestimating me."
Stephanie's grandfather ignored them, turning to Sebastian, "What do you think?"
His gaze suggested that as long as Sebastian was willing... two hundred thousand dollars would be no problem for him.
He was old and had seen a lot.
Sebastian said nonchalantly, "Two hundred thousand dollars. Is that enough to sever your ties with your daughter and granddaughter?"Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Stephanie's grandfather frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I mean... if I cough up two hundred thousand dollars, can everyone here guarantee that you won't cause trouble for Mrs. Bishop and Stephanie ever again? Don't force them to do anything they're not willing to do! Don't use your familial ties and morality to oppress them. It would be best if you completely severed ties. If everyone here can do this, I can give the two hundred thousand dollars."
Sammy frowned, "What do you
mean.

rilyn and I are blood Do you think you can set
our ties with money?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars. you think it's too little?"
"Is this about money?"
"What about three hundred thousand dollars? Is that enough?"
"uh"
"Four hundred thousand dollars?"
"Sebastian. What the hell are you doing!"
"Five hundred thousand dollars, that's the highest I can go. From today onwards, Mrs. Bishop and Stephanie are no longer a part of the
Bishop family. If you agree, leavene
right away. In three days, one hundred thousand dollars with be transferred into Sammy's account every month for five months. If any of you breach the agreement, I can cancel the deal at any time."
The Bishop family exchanged glances and they seemed tempted.
Zola and Zandra were dumbfounded.. Was this man really that wealthy?
He just casually mentioned five hundred thousand dollars...
For average families like theirs, this was enough to sustain them for a lifetime. Even if their parents worked their whole lives, they couldn't earn this much.
Stephanie's grandfather shot Marilyn a complex look, then stood up, "Fine! Five hundred thousand dollars! I'll act like I don't have a
