Chapter 65

You want to solve the problem? Then hurry up and give us eighty thousand! They’re demanding one hundred and sixty thousand. Your granny and I dug into our life savings, and we now have a total of eighty thousand. Emerson is your mother’s brother, so it’s only fair that she helps pay for the remaining eighty thousand!” Hermann said in the most matter–of–factly tone possible.
Alessandra didn’t dare protest even though she had no money. Roselynn, on the other hand, was on the verge of exploding with anger.
Uncle Emerson is nothing but a sc*mbag who indulges in vices like drinking, gambling, and fooling around! I wouldn’t even pay one dollar for him, let alone one hundred and sixty thousand! He got a woman pregnant at the age of twenty–one and married her as a result. After she gave birth to Henrietta and Jamison, however, he divorced her with the excuse of her gaining weight. He never even bothered to look after his kids after the divorce. All he did was leave them with Granddad and Granny while he enjoyed his life of vice outside. He even took things to a whole new level by trying to make a fortune overseas, only to end up failing and getting himself in trouble with the gangsters over there! Serves him right! A person like him shouldn’t even be allowed to come back! His mere presence is going to pollute the environment here!
