David, who had been kneeling on the ground just moments ago, realized something was amiss and hurriedly rose to his feet, preparing to leave. However, Samuel stopped him.
"Dad, I still haven't gotten the money for my wedding! We can't just leave. If we do, we'll end up with nothing!"
He had done his homework. His older half-sister's husband, Brad Hamilton, was the richest man in Janctera City. As long as he could get close to him, forget about 40 thousand dollarsāeven 40 million dollars would be within reach.
This was all Nadine's fault. If she wasn't on such bad terms with their family, he would've met his brother-in-law by now. For someone as wealthy as Brad, 40 million dollars would be like a drop in the bucket. He wouldn't even bat an eye at such a small sum.
Jennifer also believed they shouldn't leave, so she grabbed David's shirt. "Don't go. Let's wait a little longer!"
After stopping him from leaving, she pulled out a photo from her bag and held it up, ensuring Nadine could see it clearly. "Nadine, do you know who this is?"
The person in the photo was Sophie, and Nadine immediately recognized her. Her voice was filled with concern as she asked, "What have you done to Grandma Sophie?"
Sophie was supposed to be in the ICU and wouldn't be transferred to a regular ward for another couple of days. How on earth did Jennifer get a picture of her?
Noticing Nadine's anxiety, Jennifer smirked. "If you want to know how the old hag is doing, you'll have to give me five thousand dollars first. Otherwise, this conversation is over!"
