Chapter 2315
Whenever one was unable to save any money, one should just spend money frugally. In short, materialistic things were not important. The most important thing was being frugal. Gloria even often joked with Aino, "Aino, I have saved up a sum of money for you. When you get married, I can also buy a decent gift. Why do I insist on buying you gifts for your wedding? Because when your mother got married, I was not by her side. I also never had the chance to make it up to her. Therefore, I am thinking of saving up to buy you wedding gifts."
Saving money to buy wedding gifts for Aino was something that Sabrina's mother had been insisting on doing for the past few years. She was even reluctant to buy jewelry for herself, she had never used any luxurious bags as she wanted to save her money for Aino. Therefore, Sabrina really wanted to ask her mother if she truly was going to take the money out to give it to James.
Her mother's reply really surprised Sabrina. "Yes! I really intended to give it to him. If he really were to start a fashion company after he had taken this money and never interact with those people and never harm others anymore, I had even thought it through that I would persuade him to turn himself in. To confess that he had once caused a mother and daughter to lose their life because he had cheated them out of money. However..."
At that moment when she said that, Gloria shocked her head and laughed lightly. "It's such a pity that as I have expected, James was indeed immensely greedy. He didn't want these six hundred thousand dollars of mine at all! I know he didn't want the money because he wanted to thoroughly leave his best impression on me. It's all in preparation for the few hundred million dollars he wanted to take from me!"
"He did not want it?" Sabrina was delighted.
"Six hundred thousand dollars is already nothing much to him because he already has his heart set on my six hundred million dollars!" Gloria said.
"Then, what happened?" Sabrina made a cup of coffee for both herself and her mother.
The mother and daughter were sitting at the small table under the roof, and they were talking about this matter as if they were just telling a story. That made Sabrina and her mother have an extra cozy and extra leisure kind of feeling. Later on...
Gloria took a sip of her coffee and she suddenly laughed, she even almost spat out her coffee.
"Mom, what are you laughing about?" Sabrina asked in confusion.
Only then did Gloria tell Sabrina, "Do you know what James said today when he was arrested at that small vegetable garden of mine in the suburbs?"
"What did he say?" That truly piqued Sabrina’s curiosity.
"He said that if he had known he would be left hanging like this and even ended up being arrested by the police in the end, he should have just taken my six hundred thousand dollars and gone somewhere far away. At least he would have still been able to earn six hundred million dollars that way. Unfortunately, he was too greedy, so he ended up sending himself to prison in the end."
"Haha! Gosh, Mom, this is killing me..." Sabrina burst out laughing so hard that she almost spat her coffee on her mother's face.
However, her mother sneered and said, "Unfortunately, he didn't know that if wanted to cheat me for that six hundred thousand dollars, I also would let him end up getting nothing. This was a strategy that officer Angie and I had designed, to begin with. Little by little, we were luring him into the trap."
"Mom, quickly go on, what happened next?" Sabrina was more and more interested in the story of her catching the thief.
"Later on..." Her mother started recalling her memories.
That day, when she wanted to withdraw the 600,000 dollars she had deposited, James stopped her in every way. His expression was so sincere that Gloria was even more fond of him. She looked at James with affection. "James, can you...no leave today?" 1
