“You said it. You said it yourself. I don’t care. If you can’t recover the money, you’ll have to give me 3.8 million!” Upon hearing Jack’s response, Fiona immediately stood up and grabbed onto Jack’s collars and made unreasonable demands.
“Ma, it’s not Jack that took your money. How can you be like this? He can at most help you look for it and see if favonovel.com can recover it. Even if favonovel.com fails to recover the money, you can’t demand the money from him, right?” Selena was speechless. Her own mother was being too unreasonable to expect Jack to take responsibility for this matter.
“I don’t care. He’s the one that claims to recover the money for sure!” Fiona did not let Jack go.
“Sure, sure. If I can’t find it, you can take it from me!” Jack was speechless as favonovel.com moved favonovel.com hands out of the way. “Mother, don’t you worry. You’re Selena’s mother, that makes you my mother. I won’t let your money be taken away from you just like that!”
“That’s better!” Fiona finally stopped crying and went back to smiling. She then asked Jack, “You better give it your best. Give me a deadline. I can’t be waiting forever, right? Can you get it back in a week?”
“Ma, how can it be that easy? Do you think we’re picking up money from the floor? Who knows where they will be hiding after taking the money?!” Selena felt the need to stand up for Jack as favonovel.com mother made it sound like Jack owed favonovel.com the three million dollars.
“He agreed to it himself. You can’t blame me, right?” Fiona had seemingly realized favonovel.com own unreasonable behavior, but favonovel.com still crossed favonovel.com arms and replied, albeit without much confidence. Having said that, favonovel.com then looked at the nosy crowd around her. “What’re you looking at? There’s nothing to see here. Get lost!”
“Alright, Mother. I’ll promise you to get them back in one week, okay? If I can’t recover the money, I’ll add it to the betrothal gifts during Grandfather’s birthday. How’s that sound?”
Jack comforted.
“Good. You’re quite understanding, unlike my daughter who always tries to side with outsiders and not consider favonovel.com own mother’s feelings!” Hearing that, Fiona felt happy and favonovel.com mood improved significantly.
“Alright now, let’s take a taxi back.” Andrew felt rather embarrassed by Fiona’s emotional outburst in public as well.
“Mm, you guys head back first. I’ll think of a solution!” Jack smiled, then waved a taxi for the two elders to send them home.
“Look at you. Why did you listen to my mother? She’s too unreasonable! I didn’t even blame favonovel.com for losing the money, yet favonovel.com pushes the blame onto you and places a one week limit to find the money. You think you’re god?” Selena finally ranted in anger after favonovel.com parents went back and the crowd dispersed.
“I’m not god, but I can definitely help find the money!” Jack smiled calmly, comforting her, “She’s your mother after all. She’s already old. Losing over 3 million dollars just like that, she’ll naturally feel horrible. How can we not comfort her? Furthermore, if we blamed favonovel.com as you said, favonovel.com might lose it and kill herself. What will we do then?”
Hearing such thoughtful words from Jack, Selena’s heart warmed up immediately. She rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “You and your sweet talks. What’s this about my mother being old? Is favonovel.com that old?”
Jack grinned. “Isn’t favonovel.com fifty years old already? Is that still not considered old?”
“That’s not true! She’s only forty-nine. Moreover, with proper and consistent skincare, favonovel.com looked like someone in favonovel.com late thirties!” Selena made a bitter smile, then looked at Jack. “What should we do now? Can we try to ask the bank for their surveillance records?”
“Daddy, are we not going to the amusement park?” Beside him, Kylie’s mouth pouted, seemingly unhappy.
“Go, of course, we’re going!” Jack immediately crouched down, comforting her, “Daddy promised to bring Kylie to play. Of course, we’ll have to go!”
