NovelEnglishChapter 70
Seeing that Samuel was not back yet, Yvonne decided to call him. Flora and her family were already at their
place, and Lydia was urging Yvonne to quickly think o fa way to get the money to them.
"I have the money. I'm on my way back," Samuel said.
Yvonne still felt sorry about the entire situation, especially since they had not brought Samuel out when they had
gone to the hotel for dinner last night, and he had stayed halone eating cup noodles. Furthermore, she
troubled him to go to the hotel to help her out.
"Don't make dinner tonight," she said.
Samuel smiled and said, "What will Father and Mother eat if | don't make dinner?"
"It's not like they're handicapped. Let them make their own dinner," Yvonne said, stewing.
"All right then."
When he got back, Flora snatched the packet from his hands without even asking, sure that it contained money.
She peeked into it. It was bursting with crisp, gorgeous notes. Only then did she break out into a smile.
"Where did you go? Why did you take so long?" she reprimanded Samuel.

He shook his head and remained silent. If not for Yvonne, he would have destroyed this family of vermin last
night.
Flora glanced at her husband, who then said to Lydia," We have an errand to attend to, Lydia. We'll take our
leave first."
Godfrey was so furious that he did not know what to say. They did not even say a single 'thank you' after
borrowing the two hundred thousand and just took the money and left. There was no hope that people like them
would ever return the money.
"Samuel, go and see them off." Lydia's pallor was unsightly as well. However, it was not because of her brother's
attitude, but because she found it hard to breathe after actually giving them the two hundred thousand bucks.
"All right," he replied.
After they left the house, Steven said aloud, "Mom, lettake it for you. Rest your bones."
Flora hugged her bag as though she were hugging a grandchild, afraid to let Steven take it all away. "No way. You
always sleep as soon as you get onto the car," she said. "What if you lose it?"
"Then just lettake a look. I've never seen two hundred thousand bucks in cash," Steven said excitedly.
Flora carefully opened the packet, then closed it a
second later.
Samuel did not even feel like smiling, watching the three acting like country bumpkins.
Steven stared cautiously at Samuel and said, "What are you looking at? You've never seen this much money?"
"Yup. Never," Samuel replied calmly.
"Tsk. What are you still doing here? Hurry up and start the car for us," Steven said scornfully.
Samuel quickly went down the stairs and whipped his phone out. He called Johann. "Finda few thieves.
Professional ones." 1
"Mom, you have to give half of this money to me. | haven't found a wife yet," Steven said to Flora in a dreamy
tone as they headed down.
"Half? No woman worth her salt would price herself that high. I've already found a match for you. She's not much
to look at, but she has a nice dowry attached to her. You'll see her once we get back," Flora said.
"Don't tellthat you've setup with sugly wench, Mom. I'm such an outstanding young man. | can't
just marry a random mouse from the streets," Steven retorted unhappily.
"Does beauty put food on the table? I've already made all the necessary inquiries. That young woman's family is
rich. They even prepared a car as part of her dowry. Don't even think about getting a single cent
fromif you refuse to see her."
Birds of a feather flock together, or so the saying goes. This family of three were definitely cut from the same

Steven sat shotgun in the car. His eyes sidled toward Samuel disdainfully. "How can a good-for-nothing like you
be so lucky?" he said. "You found such a beautiful woman, and you get to shake your leg and do nothing but
leech off her."
"You guys better hold onto that money properly. I've heard that thievery cases in trains have been increasing.
Don't lose it," Samuel cautioned them.
"Shut your trap. Don't jinx me." Flora shot daggers at Samuel. This was her precious treasure, yet Samuel was
trying to curse her luck.
Samuel really wanted to see the look on their faces once they lost the money. It was a pity he would not be
around then.
After he dropped the three at the station, they were immediately being targeted by someone in the dark. They
walked on, completely oblivious of the figure tailing them.
On the train car heading back to Brund Province, Flora clutched onto the packet desperately. She did not loosen
her grip for a split second and was constantly on alert. She was even reluctant to blink her eyes, fearful that
thugs or thieves might take the money away.
Halfway through the journey, her eyes began to turn extremely dry. A strange scent cloyed her nose, inducing
her to slip into unconsciousness. 3
When the train arrived at the station, the conductor woke the family of three up.
