Horace returned to the ward, and when Norma saw that there was no one behind him, she sat up nervously and asked. “What did that girl say to you? I didn’t tell her that I’m pretending to
be sick.”
“Well, the money issue has been resolved. We will pack up soon and send you home, Horace announced joyfully.
Upon hearing that the money issue had been resolved, Norma was stunned for a moment and then, asked in confusion, “That’s 12,000! Queenie Kins‘ family is so poor. How did they come up with it?”
“It’s 24,000,” Horace corrected. Glancing around to ensure no one was listening, he leaned toward her and whispered, “As I mentioned before, this cousin of Queenie’s, her family is. very wealthy. Even if she casually drops a little money, it’s enough for us to live comfortably for a lifetime.”
Moreover, that day at the Laurel Hotel, he noticed that Jonathan and Angela had a close relationship. If Felix could successfully win over Angela, they would have a clear path leading to Jonathan. For the Swine Family, it would be a step toward success.
Shock washed over Norma’s face, and she showed two fingers with her wrinkled hand, trembling slightly. “That girl can come up with 24,000? Oh my god, I can’t believe that she is
so rich.”
She used to think that when people said George from the Kins Family was wealthy, it just meant they were a little better off than ordinary families. After all, if they were really rich, why would Donald cut off ties and not communicate with them? Chasing away a money tree was something that only a fool would do.
Just as her words fell, Horace’s phone beeped, indicating a new message. He checked his phone, and a greedy smile appeared on his handsome face as he showed the screen to his mother. “Look, that girl has paid a deposit of 1,200.”
These days, 1,200 was the entire annual income for an average family, and Angela gave it to him just as she said she would. It was just a drop in the bucket compared to the remaining amount. Hence, Horace set aside his worries, as if the money would be in his pocket the next second.
Meanwhile, Norma counted seriously. Wow, that’s so much money.
“I’m usually busy with work, Mom, so you should urge Felix when you’re free. Tell him to act fast and win over Angela Kins,” Horace said happily as he closed his phone, grabbed an apple,

and bit into it leisurely. “By then, you will officially be Angela Kins‘ aunt, and she should respect you. Isn’t that right?”
The smile on Norma’s face widened as she slapped her thigh and laughed heartily. “That’s right! I’m telling you, Felix was raised by me since he was a child, and he lived in our house. for many years. His wife should respect me. Why didn’t you tell me clearly? I thought she was just slightly wealthier,” she grumbled. “It’s all your wife’s fault. Since her uncle’s family is so wealthy, why doesn’t she help you out a bit? After all, you are her husband!
“Is it really so difficult for her uncle to help out so that you don’t have to work so hard for this money? He’s just sitting in the office and the money rolls in. Your wife is a wicked woman. Very malicious and not a good person,” Norma continued, getting more and more angry. From the first time she met Queenie, she didn’t like her because she thought Queenie was dull and didn’t know how to do anything.
In terms of career, she couldn’t help her son, and after several years of marriage, she didn’t even produce a child. What was the use of a pretty face?
At the mention of Queenie, Horace’s eyes flickered, and he brought up the staged divorce with Queenie, dividing their marital assets evenly. He planned to give the car and some money to Queenie as part of the charade, in hopes of luring her back in the future.
Norma, being old–fashioned, initially disapproved of divorce. However, after listening to his son’s logical explanation, she reluctantly agreed to the divorce in order to secure the remaining money.
She had no choice but to support his son’s decision. With his son’s exceptional abilities, she was confident that everything would be handled smoothly, and deceiving a young girl would be a walk in the park.
“Studying medicine is a good choice, but being a doctor can be demanding. There may be long hours and little time for family in the future.” Norma’s expression reflected a mix of joy and concern as she was worried about Angela’s ability to balance work and family responsibilities.
After finishing the apple, Horace leaned against the window and observed Queenie and her father sitting downstairs. It was almost 1.30 p.m., the perfect time to head to the city hall for the divorce proceedings.
Horace packed up his belongings, instructed his mother to wait in the hospital ward, and went to initiate the divorce process before returning to pick her up.
As he made his way downstairs, Donald caught sight of him turning the corner from the corridor: that was the man he had chosen as his son–in–law.
