Chapter 269 So You’ve Got Principles

Of course, Jean wasn’t just guessing blindly.

The information Jolene had gathered included more than Edgar’s personal details–it also covered his family background.

Edgar came from a single–parent household.

His parents had divorced long ago, and he now lived alone with his mother.

Fate clearly hadn’t been kind to him.

His mother, his only support, had suffered an unfortunate accident years prior that left her paralyzed.

The already fragile family had lost its income overnight, suddenly burdened with overwhelming hardship.

Now, Edgar and his mother lived entirely on welfare.

Not only did he have to care for a mother who couldn’t take care of herself, but most of the little aid they received went toward her medical needs. He dreamed every day of her recovering, even if it was just a tiny

Edgar, having regained some composure, shot her a sideways glance. “So what if it’s about money? Wanting money is human nature.”

He pressed his lips together, voice sharp and cold. “My mom really needs that money, so forget it. I’m not backing out.”

“Whatever Thomas gave you, I can give you too.” Jean narrowed her eyes and said it flatly.

Edgar didn’t hesitate for a second. He shook his head and rejected her outright. “I already made a deal with him. I’m not going to break that deal just because your offer’s better.”

Jean chuckled. “Didn’t expect you to be so principled…”
