James sighed and said, "We don't have other solutions, and we cannot conjure up a new one. In addition to making compensation, there is no better way. Moreover, I heard that the other side likes it very much, so I do not know if it is feasible to compensate for it. Now the most important thing is money preparation, as for the other side's attitude, we could just wait and see!"
"Joy said the price is as high as tens of millions." Emily whispered.
James shook his head, "I'm afraid there's more than that. We can only prepare more money first. It's best if we can make compensation by losing money."
"But you don't have that much money." Emily said.
She knew James very well. He was just a college professor, and he taught not the main course, but engaged in the arts. So the extra income was limited. He really couldn't save much money on his salary.
James' parents were also professors. For their scientific researches, they had devoted all their energy these years and lived a very simple life. Their house was still allocated by the school, otherwise, they even couldn't afford to buy a house.
But James' father collected a lot of precious things, she did not know if they could be changed into cash.
James frowned and muttered, "I could only sell these collections of my father to see if I could get some money. I'll borrow some more from relatives and friends, and I have a house to sell. However, these should not be nearly enough. In two more days, I'd better meet with that person to negotiate it to see if they can give some grace for a few more days."
"I still have 500,000 dollars here, and that house can be sold." Emily said.
James was stunned and quickly shook his head, "No, how can I take your money and sell your house? You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it myself."
"How can you deal with it? I know you very well! We are at least a nominal husband and wife, we should be in the same situation. I have no use keeping this money, the house can be sold and I can buy it again. At present, we should get through the immediate difficulties first."
"But you worked hard to save all this money for Bryce. It took you a lot of effort to buy the house. If you give it all to me..."
"Consider it as a loan from me to you, and pay it back later." Emily said.
James frowned and couldn't say anything, he knew how important these things were to Emily. These years she was studying design while bringing up her son. This money was all earned by her hard-working by staying up to finish the designing tasks.
But now she said she would give them to him without any hesitation. Although at first, he married her to give Bryce a complete home and an identity. However, her kindness to him was far more than this.
Emily stayed with James' mother. Although James' mother did not treat her well before, this time she was still willing to stay with her, James' mother was really pleased.
Emily called Joyce and told her about these things here. However, she did not say how difficult it was, she was afraid that Joyce would only take action to help them.
But she had to trouble Joyce to take good care of Bryce, because at this time it was really inconvenient for her to pick up Bryce back.
Joyce promised her that she would take good care of Bryce so that she wouldn't have to worry.
Two days later, Emily and James went to see that man together.
The two of them drove to where the man stayed, the largest hotel in Dover. They parked the car in the hotel's underground garage, and the two of them walked into the elevator together.
"It's strange. There's almost no one here today." Emily said.
She had passed by this place before, and there were always a lot of people. Although it was not noisy, it was crowded.
"I don't know. It seems that the other party is in room 802 on the fifteenth floor." James didn't care about any of this. What he was nervous about now was that it would be troublesome if the other party didn't give up and kept entangled.
Emily knew his nervousness and reached out to squeeze his hand, "Don't worry! It will be solved. I don't think the other party is unreasonable."
