She outshines 152

Chapter 152 

However, Jaden said, “My sister just called and told me my grandparents are all set for surgery. Their physical evaluation met the requirements, so they can get admitted anytime. They need some time to recover afterward.” 

He sighed. “And on top of that, Linda’s decided to stick around Okhorn Village. I can’t just sit back and let her bug me, so I’m planning to leave with my grandparents in the next couple of days.” 

Luna felt a bit awkward about her earlier thoughts and struggled to find the right words Jaden, not knowing what was going through her head, continued. “Miss Carter, I really need you to keep our family’s location a secret. Don’t let Linda know where we are.” 

That was when Laina realized she had actually accomplished what she came for. She should feel happy about it, so she smiled and said. “Don’t worry, we’re in this together. Ive got your back. 

Jaden nodded, looking relieved. “Thanks a lot. For now, take a look around. I need to talk to my family about everything.” 

Then, he stepped aside to start a video call in the family group chat, letting them know he wanted to rent out the countryside homestead. 

Besides the reasons he had mentioned to Luna, he had a third plan. Tve always wanted to rent some land in the nearby mountain, but my loan didn’t go through. This could be a good way to make some money for that, and I can get the production team to help us check it out for free.” 

His grandparents replied with a voice message, saying, “You don’t have to worry about us. Just do what you need to do, and make sure to look after our place.” 

Another family member jumped in. “You’re in charge of that land, so you can decide how to handle it.” 

Jaden nodded and said, “The 100 thousand dollars that Linda paid back, that’s family money, so I can’t touch it. Let’s leave it 

to Mom to sort out” 

Claire jumped in, “I don’t need it right now. Why don’t we just give it back to Athena first?” 

Athena replied, Tm good on cash too. This money doesn’t do much for me. It will be better spent elsewhere.” 

Wesley added, “Maria works far away and often has to stay late. She really needs a car. Let’s buy one for her.” 

Maria was quick to object, “No! No way! I don’t even have a driver’s license, and I’m way too busy to learn.” 

Arthur piped up. I enjoy driving. I don’t mind picking up Maria, She’ll be safe with me.” 

Jaden cut in, “How about this? I’ll save those 100 thousand dollars for Grandpa and Grandma’s treatment.” 

His grandparents needed surgery at the private hospital that Athena recommended, and their insurance would barely cover a bit of the costs, so everyone agreed with Jaden’s suggestion. 

Just then Jaden’s phone buzzed. He wrapped up the video call and answered 

Ten minutes later, he sent a message in the group chat. [The Agri Finance Bank just called and said they’re willing to lend me I million dollars. They want me to come to the headquarters ASAP to finalize the details.]

The group chat fit up instantly, and even Brandon, who was overseas, popped in. Arthur cheered and replied: (Congrats. Jaden! That’s enough to rent any mountain for the next 50 year 

Maria: (Wow, 1 million dollars? That’s a lot! You can finally chase your dream!] 

[Wait, the Agri Finance Bank is state–owned. You never applied for a loan with them. Why are they suddenly offering you

one?] Wesley was puzzled 

Brandon chimed in: Jaden, be careful. This doesn’t seem right.] 

But Athena shrugged it off. [State–owned banks are usually pretty trustworthy. Jaden, just check it out. If everything looks good, sign it. If something goes wrong after that, I’ll find a rich kid from our lab to sort it out.] 

A flurry of stickers and emojis popped up, from “surprised,” “Thumbs up,” “like,” and “bravo, all showing their support for 

him 

Jaden responded: [Yeah, I think this whole thing is kind of sudders and strange too,] 

He added: [I got a call from the loan manager at the Agri Finance Bank. He mentioned they have a program to support projects that are good for the environment and help out rural areas. A friend from another bank had my project on his radar, and the loan manager thought it was great, When he brought it up to his boss, they agreed.] 

Someone replied: [If it’s coming from a state–owned bank, it should be legit. Just go check it out.] 

Jaden: [Since no one’s against it, I’ll talk to the production team about the details first. Then I’ll get Grandpa and Grandma ready to head to Kitmore City. I’ll stay at the villa for a few days before taking them to the hospital and figure out the loan stuff ] 

Athena: [My car is great for the trip. I’ll take care of bringing Grandpa and Grandma back to the city] 

Jaden replied: [Awesome, thanks, Athena! I’ll let you know when I’m all packed up.] 

The family group quieted down after that. Then Brandon messaged Jaden privately: [Doesn’t it feel like there’s some crazy luck hitting our family lately? We can basically get whatever we want.] 

Jaden replied: [Yeah. Definitely noticed that.] 

Brandon asked: [Any idea why?] 

Jaden sent a smile sticker. [Gotta be Athena bringing us some good luck.) 

Brandon followed up with a smile emoji. [Glad you see it that way.) 

Jaden added: [I think Dad’s picked up on it too, even if he hasn’t said anything] 

Brandon replied with a laughing emoji. [About Athena, if she doesn’t mention it, just leave it alone. What matters is that she’s comfortable.] 

Jaden: [For sure.] 

Brandon: [You’re busy, I’ll get back to my thesis.] 

With that, Jaden pocketed his phone and strolled over to Luna, who was also on a call. 

Noticing him approaching, Luna didn’t back off. Instead, she said into the phone. “Mr. Donovan is coming over. Let me 

check with him.”
