At that time, this transaction had far exceeded the local market price, and the buyers were initially dissuaded by the high price.
However, Martha was very smart.
She could see the couple’s desperate hope for a child, and she also saw that the one-year-old child somewhat resembled the man. So, she had described the child’s appearance to the couple based on the child’s facial features, saying that the child would definitely grow up to resemble the man.
In addition, the resourceful Martha had also tugged at the couple’s greatest pain and hope; because of the resemblance, as long as they took the child with them to live in a different place, no one would suspect that the child had been bought when he grew up. Even if they were to bring the child back to their hometown in Oskia after three or five years, no one would suspect that it was not their own child.
Moreover, Martha had also told the couple that unlike adopted children, the child that she had brought was not even a week old yet and would never have any memories of his biological parents when he grew up.
Martha had emphasized that as long as the couple bought the child, the matter of their family continuing the lineage would be done in just one step.
So, the couple who was persuaded had then bought the child for thirty thousand US dollars, and Martha had received twenty-five thousand US dollars.
At the time, that amount of money was more than what she had earned in her two years as a nanny.
Since then, Martha had embarked on the sinful and evil path to ‘making quick money’.
In the early years, she had taken on various identities and had specially selected Oskian families with babies. Later, as the internet became more and more popular, many Oskian families no longer dared to hire illegal immigrants as nannies, so Martha had changed her career and begun moving on to other businesses until she had hooked up with her current handler.
Over the years, Martha had earned more and more money. Both her sons lived in large villas and drove luxury cars. Her eight grandchildren were also healthy and sensible. Thus, her entire family was prosperous and flourishing.
As she had been away from home for too long and had many grandchildren, Martha became more and more eager to return to Oskia to be reunited with them earlier.
