Chapter 143
Jack looked at Olivia in confusion. Olivia didn’t look back at him. Staring into the distance, she continued, “To be honest, I didn’t mean it at first when I said I wanted to help you guys.
“As soon as you get involved with that person, you can never get away in one piece.
“The moment you get the ransom, you’ll fall into his trap. When that happens, not just you three, but everyone on the island. will be in trouble.”
When Jack heard that, he subconsciously touched the claw blade he hid at the side.
Ignoring it, Olivia continued, “But that was until I saw the truth. You guys live in poverty, but your hearts have remained cheerful.
“The old people in this village don’t even have enough money to treat their sicknesses. A lot of them died because of that.
“Jerry wants to learn to draw, but he can’t even bring himself to use a precious pencil. Martha cut her softest clothes into a diaper for a child she doesn’t know.
“I think I can understand you a little. You’re probably not from around here.”
“I’m not.” Jack’s reply was simple and clear.
Olivia said, “You want to do your best to help them, and I share the same feeling now. This is a beautiful place, and it shouldn’t be tainted by the ugly ways of the world.
“They should keep their cheerfulness.”
“What do you mean by that?” Jack was patient. He never mentioned how he would threaten Ethan so far. Instead, he treated Olivia like a guest.
It was his kindness that changed Olivia’s mind. She didn’t want to teach them a lesson anymore.
“You want money, so it doesn’t matter who it comes from. You don’t have to get it from Ethan.”
Olivia stared into his eyes as she said, “I have money. Even though it isn’t much, it should be enough to help you guys.”
“How much do you have?”
“500 million dollars.”
Jack was confused. How was that not much?
Under Jack’s searching gaze, Olivia chuckled. “I know. You must be wondering why someone would be so stupid that they would give strangers money.
“I only told you half of that story just now. Do you want to listen to the second half?”
“Go ahead. I’ll listen.”
