Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1111

Cecil was hanging around the shadowy alleyway near the hospital, waiting.

As soon as he heard the job was done, he was ecstatic and immediately arranged to meet Claire in the secluded alley.

Upon seeing Claire, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the money?"

Claire handed over the cash Elysia had given her, saying, "Here."

Cecil snatched it, frowning, "This is it?"

At best, this was just a few grand. He had told Claire to ask for a cool $100,000!

He had done his homework, finding out that Emmett's adoptive parents were loaded, driving around in luxury cars, staying in fancy hotels!

Plus, they were acquainted with Folly Blythe's heiress, clearly not just anybody.

Most importantly, they adored Emmett!

Considering Emmett, getting them to fork over some cash shouldn't have been an issue.

But Claire brought back just this small amount!

Cecil was displeased, "Didn't I tell you to ask for $100,000?!"

Claire rushed to explain,

"I did ask. This few thousand isn't part of that. This is extra, from Ms. Thorne for Maria's nutrition."

"And the $100,000?"

Claire said excitedly, "They're going to deposit it directly into our daughter's hospital account. We won't ever have to worry about paying for her treatments again!"

Cecil's face darkened, "I wanted cash. What's the use of having it in an account?!"

"It's for our daughter's treatment, Cecil. It doesn't matter where the money is, they've given it to us. Let's not hassle them anymore."

"They've been taking good care of our son and now they're helping us with our daughter's medical expenses. They're good people, a blessing to our family."

"Our situation isn't great, and staying with us, our son is suffering. Maybe it's best if he continues to stay with them, and we... Ah!"

Before Claire could finish, Cecil kicked her to the ground.

"My child's fate isn't yours to arrange! They're so rich, yet you couldn't even secure $100,000, useless! Marrying you was a damn mistake!"

Enraged, Cecil unleashed a barrage of kicks on Claire.
