NovelEnglishChapter 620 David, who had been kneeling on the ground just moments ago, realized something was amiss and hurriedly rose to his feet, preparing to leave. However, Samuel stopped him.
"Dad, I still haven't gotten the money for my wedding! We can't just leave. If we do, we'll end up with nothing!" He had done his homework. His older half-sister's husband, Brad Hamilton, was the richest man in Janctera City. As long as he could get close to him, forget about 40 thousand dollars-even 40 million dollars would be within reach.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was all Nadine's fault. If she wasn't on such bad terms with their family, he would've met his brother-in-law by now. For someone as wealthy as Brad, 40 million dollars would be like a drop in the bucket. He wouldn't even bat an eye at such a small sum.
Jennifer also believed they shouldn't leave, so she grabbed David's shirt. "Don't go. Let's wait a little longer!" After stopping him from leaving, she pulled out a photo from her bag and held it up, ensuring Nadine could see it clearly. "Nadine, do you know who this is?" The person in the photo was Sophie, and Nadine immediately recognized her. Her voice was filled with concern as she asked, "What have you done to Grandma Sophie?" Sophie was supposed to be in the ICU and wouldn't be transferred to a regular ward for another couple of days. How on earth did Jennifer get a picture of her? Noticing Nadine's anxiety, Jennifer smirked. "If you want to know how the old hag is doing, you'll have to givefive thousand dollars first. Otherwise, this conversation is over!" As soon as her words sank in, the onlookers expressed their disdain. Seven spitted on the ground to show their disapproval. Unfortunately, they were all well-mannered individuals who wouldn't stoop to violence against such scum as their upbringing wouldn't allow it.
Aware of their endless greed, Nadine had intended to keep her distance.
vel But when she saw the photo of Sophie in Jennifer's hand, she couldn't help but feel anxious. "Madam Stein, I'm willing to give you money if you tellhow Grandma Sophie's doing. But you need to letknow how she's doing first!" Jennifer's grin widened as she waved the photo in her hand. "Five thousand dollars is too little. Compared to your younger brother's wedding, it's practically nothing! I know you've just started working, so you probably don't have much saved up.
"So, here's what you can do instead. Call Brad over. 40 thousand dollars is small change for someone as wealthy as him. Tell him your younger brother needs the money. As long as you can do those two things, I'll tell you what happened to that old hag!" Jennifer was like a leech. Once she latched on, it was hard to shake her off. As her daughter, Nadine couldn't escape or avoid her. But Brad was different. He didn't have to get entangled with someone like her.
Moreover, with how things stood between her and Brad, there was no reason to call him or even bring him into this mess. Therefore, she snapped back, "I'm not agreeial ne any of your ridiculous demands! Do you seriously think I'd walk into your trap just because you have that photo?

David panicked when he noticed Nadine wasn't budging. He couldn't believe this insolent child was insolentine threatening to call the cops on them. Since she wanted to play it that way, she shouldn't blhim for what happened next.
Nadine was about to pull out her phone to call the cops when David rushed toward her, drawing aglinting Knife from his waistband and ΕΠ pressing it against her throat. "What's it going to be, Nadine? Are you going to hand over the money, or are you going to part with your life?"
