Chapter 1404
"Huh?" Renee looked confused.
"Benefactor, please come in." Adie beckoned Justin in with a finger and said seriously, "I've already discussed it with
Mr. Baldwin, Mommy. He'll give you money instead of making you empty promises from now on. Just give him a
figure, and you won't have to work so hard anymore."
"What?" Renee's jaw dropped, and she stared at Adie in disbelief. What had the little troublemaker done now?

Please let me do something for you now by giving you money, after all... it's pretty much the only thing I have."
Renee massaged her aching temples and grumbled, "Stop being unreasonable."
"No, I'm being serious. I want to give you money." Justin wanted to show Renee how deep his feelings for her were.
He would have banked the money directly into her account if he could.
Helpless, Renee said to Justin, "Don't take Adie's nonsense seriously. Plus, I have money, and even if I needed

Renee's expression became tense, and she immediately asked, "How do you know he's forgotten about us? Did you

"What's so strange about her?" Renee asked curiously.
"I heard her on the phone saying that they have to stop some kind of brain surgery by getting that person into a car
crash or some accident by drowning. It sounds like she's going to do something bad."
"She wants to stop a brain surgery?" Renee muttered, instinctively feeling like something was off. However, she
didn't ask Adie anything else about it. After playing with her children for a while, she asked Margaret to take them
home.
Justin stayed behind, and looked at her in concern. "I heard that Quinton wants to leave Beach City for a while, so
you have to be extra careful. Odd things have been happening lately, and a lot of people are coveting your
family..."
