Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 588

Looking at the check, Gabrielle was startled. She stared at it and couldn't stop herself from laughing aloud.

'Do rich people like to thank others with money? Or is it just the Walker family?'

First there was Jonathan, and now Jasmine. They were both so generous and wanted to repay her for everything in monetary terms.

If Gabrielle took those two checks, she'd be quite rich. The money was enough for her to spend the rest of her life leisurely. She wouldn't have to work at all.

"Excuse me, Ms. Jones, why are you laughing? Is it not enough?" Jasmine asked her with concern, as she saw the slight smile on Gabrielle's face.

"Well, it's quite enough. Rather, it's not as much as the amount Mr. Walker offered me when we met the last time. He offered me ten million, while you're offering just three!" Gabrielle said calmly.

"Well, I am not as rich as my father, Ms. Jones. I'm offering you this as a token of gratitude and to thank you for all that you've done. Although I'm offering you less money than my father, surely we all love mother just the same!" Jasmine said, with a sadness in her tone.

She was surprised but didn't show it. She did not expect that her father would be willing to give Gabrielle ten million. Although it was a lot of money, she was not angry at him for offering such a huge amount. Jasmine was indebted to Gabrielle because she had saved her mother's life.

However, she misinterpreted the sarcasm in Gabrielle's words and thought she was being too greedy. She had already gotten ten million from her father, and now was looked down upon the three million. Maybe it was not enough for her.

Jasmine felt that even one million dollars was a huge amount, and it was enough for an ordinary person to live peacefully for the rest of his or her life.

But seeing Gabrielle she was convinced that people were born greedy.

"Ms. Walker, I think you've misunderstood me. I know that you and your father love Mrs. Glyn a lot. I feel happy for her. But let me inform you that I didn't take your father's check. In the same manner, I have no reason to take yours now. I just felt that it's funny how both of you, you and your father, tried to express their gratitude and thanked me with money!" Gabrielle explained the thing that was bothering her, in a relaxed tone.

"What? My father offered you ten million, but you didn't take it?" Jasmine was taken aback. She had thought that Gabrielle was a greedy woman and was craving for money.

However, the fact blew her off.

She couldn't believe that Gabrielle didn't take even a penny.

"Well, Ms. Walker, if you don't believe me, you can go home and ask your father. I don't think I need to be paid for what I have done. I just donated some of my blood to my teacher. It's nothing really. And I can't take your money, Ms. Glyn is my teacher and she has been taking care of me as I decided upon my future and career. I am glad that I was able to help her in a small way. I didn't do anything for your mother in lieu of money," Gabrielle said calmly. But there was a seriousness in her.

Her words had really impressed Jasmine.

"Ms. Jones, since you didn't take my father's check, please accept mine. It's not much money, but I really want to thank you for saving my mother's life!" Jasmine continued in a distraught tone.

"Ms. Walker, if I accept your check, it will be an insult to Ms. Glyn. She would certainly feel weird if she knew. I didn't donate my blood because of the check. The fact is that I would have done it for anyone!" This time Gabrielle blatantly refused. There was no way, she would accept that check.

Since she had refused to take the money, Jasmine didn't insist anymore. She quietly took the check back.
