Upon hearing this, Bob’s expression immediately changed, looking very embarrassed. “This… this… we’re all family, why do we need to be so clearly about things?”
Ryan remained calm and serious, advising. “Of course we should. Uncle Bob, if there’s a debt of gratitude, it should be repaid. Don’t feel awkward about it. Besides the money she’s given you over the years, you’ve raised her all these years, which must have cost at least 6 to 10 thousand dollars. So, I should give around 6 to 10 million.”
“Mainly, mainly…”
Bob’s face alternated between pale and red, finally flushing red. “Mainly it’s been so many years, how can we calculate a sum?”
“Don’t bother. What bank are you with? I’ll make a call and check in a few minutes,” Ryan threatened, as if he was about to take out his phone.
Bob was frightened and immediately rushed over, desperately saying, “Mr. Frost, there’s no need to check!
He was afraid that if Ryan found out how poorly he had treated me, he would cause trouble for him. The guilty look he had on his face was just unbelievable
“Why?” Ryan furrowed his brow slightly, seemingly puzzled. “Didn’t you say Charlotte forgot her obligations? Now that we want to repay you, why are you refusing?”

Bob had no shame. “Who needs 6 to 10 million? If you really want to repay us, 60 to 100 hundred thousand is enough.”
“Well…” Ryan suddenly sneered. “Uncle Bob, I’m used to navigating the business world. I don’t like vague accounts. If you want money, bring out the bills.”
He calmly stood up, adjusted his tie. “Or are you saying, you’ve only maintained a reputation for raising her but haven’t spent a single cent?”
“How is that possible…”
Bob wanted to explode, but fearing Ryan, he could only speak meekly. “If I hadn’t spent money on her, how could she have grown up?”
“That is still possible!”
A weak but resolute female voice came from outside the door. With the support of a nurse, Aunt Laura entered. “Have you spent money on Charlotte? She went to a public school and did housework at home. Since high school, she worked part–time jobs! As for you, how much you owe her, you should know!”
Ryan’s expression suddenly darkened, a hint of what seemed like pity flashing through his eyes, his brow furrowing
I looked away, telling myself it was just an illusion.
Bob was displeased. “I raised her, and it seems like I owe her?”
