Chapter 1509 Garrett’s Greed
“Thank you so much, Mr. Yarrow. I can’t be any more grateful to you.”
“You don’t have to. Instead, Mr. Presgrave—”
Ellen was surprised when Burton mentioned that very person. “Aren’t you Mr. Tillman’s friend?”
Burton soon comprehended the situation and quickly corrected it. “Yes, yes. Mr. Tillman is the one you should thank. He asked for my help, but it was just a trivial matter to me. It’s nothing big.”
She nodded. “I will thank him.”
She received the demolition payment, which was worth about a million dollars. Her mind went blank the moment she comprehended the amount. Was it always this much?
“Congratulations, Miss Reiss. You’ll be able to live a better life with this money.”
“Thanks. I didn’t expect myself to have the privilege to enjoy such a fortune either.” Never in her wildest dream had she expected herself to be this lucky. Nonetheless, her heart still ached at the fact that Jessica passed away before the house was demolished. Otherwise, Ellen could have taken the chance to take her on a trip elsewhere.
Burton left after driving her home. She sat in the living room and stared at her online bank statement, which baffled her into speechlessness.
At that moment, her phone rang because of a call from Garrett, whom she did not have the nerve to leave hanging.
“Hey, Uncle Garrett.”
“Got the money yet?” It was an authoritative tone.
“Yeah.” She did not lie to him.
“What? For real? How much is it?” He was all excited about the idea to split the money.
