The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 588

Fang and the others were struck with sudden realization, their expressions filled with disbelief as they looked at Nolan.

"Mr. Greene, are you saying that the rich brat is actually the victim?"

"No, not just a victim—he's the one who orchestrated everything. Everything he did was just to save that mother and child?"

"Is this really true?"

"How is that possible? If he wanted to help, couldn't he have just donated the money outright? Why go through all this trouble? Isn't he a wealthy heir?"

"Exactly! It doesn't make sense! If he had the money to help, why deliberately put himself in such a situation, making himself the target of public outrage? What was he trying to gain?"

What was he trying to gain?

It sounded so simple—if he wanted to help, he could have just given them the money.

But that was the life-saving money for the mother and child!

It wasn't three or five dollars, nor even three hundred or five hundred.

This was tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In this world, the only people who could truly afford to hand over such a large sum of money were the wealthy. For ordinary people, gathering that much was incredibly difficult, if not nearly impossible.

The only way might be to sell their homes or land, but even then, some wouldn't be able to come up with enough.

And what about the future? The mother and child likely needed more medical treatment down the line. How many times could one person help?

For the wealthy heir, there was only one real solution—to use public opinion to rally countless people into taking action together.
