After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107 Carrying the Wheelchair Upstairs, She Suddenly Became Gentle and Considerate

Kane was getting anxious watching from the sidelines. Anthony never had a kind word to say, and it was frustrating. He quickly ran up to Mavis and Raymond, intercepting them before they could confront Anthony any further.

"Mrs. Callahan, don't worry about Mr. Callahan's behavior. You know how he is - stubborn and proud. But I'm sure he's grateful for your offer to take care of his leg injury," Kane said in a soothing tone.

Anthony didn't argue back this time around. Instead, he kept his head down while coughing awkwardly as if trying to hide the embarrassment in the air.

Kane managed to persuade Mavis and Raymond into getting into the Callahan family's luxurious car after almost losing years of smiles on his face due to their argument with Anthony.

Soon enough, they arrived at Green Grove Apartment building. Kane pushed Anthony's wheelchair out of the car and stared at the stairs leading up towards their destination floor with an expressionless face.

Mavis noticed that Kane looked tense and guessed what he might be thinking about. She tried lightening up the mood by jokingly saying, "What happened? Didn't you say there are always more solutions than problems? Last time when we were here, you carried him upstairs."

"I..." Kane hesitated before stopping himself mid-sentence as tears welled up in his eyes.

Ten floors! With Anthony's weight plus that of his wheelchair... it would be impossible for him alone!

He turned towards Anthony seeking help but received a cold look from him instead who replied nonchalantly, "Yes, Kane carried me last time."

Kane felt like he'd been played by Anthony yet again!

Raymond couldn't hold back anymore; he burst out laughing while Mavis commented, "Since it worked last time, why not do it again? Don't worry about us. We'll go ahead first."

Kane stood there looking lost. Raymond gave him a sly smile before following Mavis upstairs, leaving behind an embarrassed-looking Kane who whispered under his breath, "Mr. Callahan... do I really have to carry you?"

Anthony gave him another icy glare before replying sarcastically, "Who else can do it?"

Mavis was too weak physically being a woman while Raymond had a injured hand, which meant carrying anything heavy wasn't possible for now. Besides, since there were issues between Raymond and Antony, so asking for help wasn't even an option!

It seemed like only poor old Kane could handle this unpleasant task...

With a sad expression on his face and barely audible voice, Kane muttered, "Mrs. Callahan's apartment is on 10th floor. Please spare me Mr. Callahan. Can't we just..."

But before finishing off what little hope remained within himself, Kane received another cold stare from Antony who spoke firmly, "One month bonus raise!"

Shaking off all doubts, Kane knew that there was no other way but climb those ten floors with Antony's weight added onto that of wheelchair combined together weighing over two hundred pounds. That made this task seem insurmountable!

"Three months' bonus."

Kane hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Talking about money with me is too formal. I'm not that kind of person..."

"Six months." Anthony interrupted him before he could finish.

Kane was stunned and became speechless.

Anthony raised an eyebrow and continued to up the ante. "Increase your salary for six months and give you one year's bonus."

Kane immediately smiled, "You really understand me. I am that kind of person. It's my honor to serve you!"

He rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Upstairs, Mavis and Raymond had just arrived on the fifth floor when they quietly peeked out to observe what was happening downstairs.

Raymond whispered, "Mavis, Kane is really daring to ask for so much more money from Anthony. He's so rich. It's inhumane! He'll die if he walks down two steps?"

Mavis replied calmly, "He will reveal his true colors soon enough."

"Can Kane really carry the wheelchair up ten floors? Can he do it?" Raymond asked worriedly.

Mavis shrugged helplessly. "It's hard to say. Let's wish him success."

She turned around and went upstairs without looking back at what was happening below.

Raymond followed her lead.

...

From the first floor all the way up ten floors, Kane hated high stairs like these for the first time in his life as each corner seemed like an eternity away from each other.

Compared with his sweat-drenched shirt, Anthony looked like an idler who wasn't even breaking a sweat despite having one leg "paralyzed" while being carried by Kane all this time.

After climbing ten whole floors along with carrying Anthony on his back made him panting heavily. Kane was even unable to catch breaths properly anymore while sweating profusely. And his sweat soaked through every inch of clothing on himself.
