The old man was stunned. “What?”The old lady remained calm. “I am here to pay you back the fifty thousand dollars to you, I will also pay back the interest! However, I have also brought along the ledger that I have been using for bookkeeping in those ten years today. Every single expense is recorded on it. Taking away the expenses, we should still have savings of six hundred thousand in our house. Half of the fifty thousand dollars that I had taken should be considered mine, and the other half is yours. You also have to give me half of the six hundred thousand dollars.”Neo was suddenly terrified. “Are you…here to threaten me?”He wholeheartedly thought that the old lady was here to take care of him, but he did not expect that she was here to split up the properties with him. At that moment, Neo was not only feeling heartbroken from having his properties being divided and taken away, but he was more terrified that if he no longer has the care from the old lady in the future, he may
She coaxed him so well that she had borrowed a hundred thousand dollars from him in just a few days, and the caregiver never appeared again since then. Also, because he had no one to take care of him during that period, he had spent almost ten thousand dollars every month on ordering takeout food and hiring hourly workers. How much money would he have left? With a rough estimation, it would already be not bad if there were still two hundred thousand dollars left at home. However, even if he had taken all of the two hundred thousand dollars out, it would also not be enough for him to pay Cecilia.“Sir, please answer me. When are you going to pay Cecilia the division of property?”Neo answered, “I…I don’t have money.”“Then we will take the house. I will give you one week for you to move. One week later, we will come and collect the key and then sell it at an auction!” After saying that, the people from the court left in a very serious manner without wasting any time and effort.Neo
It was Neo who had hit them with that stick. Right after Zayn, Hana and the old lady had left the door, he then wheeled him wheelchair out of the house. He kept thinking that the old lady had abandoned him, so he had no one to take care of him anymore. He had no clue how long he could live and even his house was going to be taken away. How could Neo accept all these changes? He flew into a rage, and when he wheeled his wheelchair out to the alley outside, he coincidentally saw a wooden stick at the side of the wall. He held the wooden stick in one hand and used the other to drive his electric wheelchair forward.Originally, it was impossible for him to catch up to them as his wheelchair was very slow. Zayn, who was about to get in the car, saw that Cecilia’s lips were dry. It was afraid that the old lady would be thirsty, so he went to buy a few bottles of water. Neo then exhausted all of his strength to raise the wooden stick to hit Zayn on his head. If Neo had struck Zayn, then Zayn
The doctor looked at Zayn with a stern expression. “At a glance, you’re a man who is decently dressed. How could you not know that your wife is malnourished? She is so thin and has lost all her bone density. Otherwise, her ribs would not have broken after being struck once with the stick!”Zayn was speechless.“Let her get more nutrition in the future.” Hana’s ribs were broken but she did not need any surgery. The doctor simply aligned her bones and bandaged them to secure them in place. She would be fine after recuperating.Zayn nodded. “Yes, you’re right, Doctor. I will certainly take good care of her in the future.”When Hana was wheeled out of the emergency room, she was conscious. Seeing that Zayn was unharmed and standing in front of her, Hana smiled weakly. “Master Zayn, as long as you’re fine.”Zayn felt guilt. “Madam Sharpe…” Addressing her as madam was very awkward for Zayn, but he bit the bullet and called out, “Madam Sharpe, why did you…protect me? I am a strong man. I
Tessa got herself away from Zayn’s arms and looked at Zayn with suspicion. “Zayn, why are you…suddenly speaking up about that woman?”Zayn smiled gently. “Tessa…she is your biological mother, after all.”Tessa looked at Zayn in disbelief. After a few seconds, she suddenly smiled. “I understand, Zayn. I will do as you say. The next time if she…if my mother calls me again, I will certainly have a proper talk with her.”Zayn smiled broadly. “My girlfriend is the most sensible person!”Tessa only looked at Zayn with a smile“Tell me, what do you want to eat today? There is a new steakhouse in the city. Let’s go have some steak. How about that? At the same time, I can also buy a few limited-edition bags at the duty-free shops for you and buy you some clothes that you like after that? What do you think?”Zayn truly had exhausted all his ideas on how to make a girl happy. He noticed that he truly had no clue. Perhaps he had spent too much time with Sabrina and Aino? Sabrina had never be
Zayn brushed her off with a smile. “Are you full? If you are, then I'll buy you some bags. After that, I will send you home. It’s getting late.”“Mm-hmm!” Tessa agreed.They exited the steakhouse, and then went to the duty-free shop and bought more than a dozen bags in various styles. Everything that night had cost Zayn almost a million dollars. Tessa could not take her eyes off everything in the shop.Tessa was so happy. When Zayn drove her home, she kept muttering without stopping like a melodious lark. However, that was good as well. Zayn was initially afraid that he would have to drive with fatigue as he was very exhausted that day. With Tessa’s continuous muttering, he was not afraid anymore that he might fall asleep behind the wheel anymore.Zayn left without staying any longer after he had sent Tessa home. However, he found an alley and parked his car after a few minutes since he drove away from Tessa’s house. He sat quietly in the car. Actually, he originally wanted to rest
Zayn walked quickly into the ward and he saw Tessa all covered in tears.When Tessa saw Zayn walking in, she looked at Zayn miserably. “Zayn, you have been tricked by her sweet talking, haven’t you? You have never lied to me. You are such an honest and reliable person, but you didn’t tell me that you were together with her yesterday. Zayn, why?”Zayn sighed. “Tessa, I didn’t tell you because I haven’t found the right time…”“Haven’t found the right time to break up with me, right? No need for that, Zayn. I will not bother you anymore. Let’s break up! Farewell!” Tessa turned and left after saying that.Hana called out weakly on the bed. “Tessa, Tessa…” Seeing that Tessa did not look back, she could not care about anything anymore and she rolled down the bed. “Tessa, Tessa. Listen to me, Tessa…”Zayn had no time to chase after Tessa, he turned around and helped Hana up. However, Hana pushed him away. “Don’t…don’t care about me. Go after Tessa, go chase after her. I am afraid…that sh
‘Are you sure she is not greedy for money?’However, Zayn did not say any of that. He simply consoled Hana. “Madam Sharpe, I know that Tessa is a good girl. I know that. Therefore, Master Zayn, don’t give up on Tessa just because she argued with me. I am the one who has done her wrong. I had given up on her and abandoned her since she was a child. She should resent me. I have made too many mistakes.”Zayn was speechless. It was very difficult for him to believe that the Madam Sharpe in front of him then and the woman at the Ford Group from a week ago, who forbade him from being in a relationship with her daughter, were the same person. It was just a week ago, she was exhausting all the ways to stop him from being in a relationship with Tessa. However, at that moment, she was exhausting all the ways to fix them up. What kind of a mother is this?“Master Zayn, seeing that I have saved your life, be good to my daughter for the rest of your life, alright?” Hana looked at Zayn with a fac
