Chapter 155
Ian didn't speak, but he decided one thing deep down: he wants to be strong, to protect his sister,
mother and grandmother!
Monday came around.
Violette met with Elijah's attorney.
After the divorce papers were painlessly signed and done, the lawyer told Violette, "Ms. Dennis, that
building you want to buy, got the contract right here."
Violette froze for a moment: "He asked you to handle this for me?"
The lawyer simply nodded, taking the contract out of his briefcase and handing it to her. "You might
want to look, specifically at the price."
Violette took the contract, flipped it open, and went straight to the price.
Two hundred million!
This is the original purchase price for Elijah.
He was taking a hit if he was selling it to Violette for that price!
"What's he up to?" Violette was puzzled.
The lawyer explained, "I guess, maybe because you two were once married, he's decided to sell it to
you at cost."
"I don't need his charity. I heard the building's market price is around 500 million." Violette said, "I don't
want him to lose money. I can give him 600 million."
The lawyer: "I need to tell Mr. Bourne this."
Violette: "No need. Just change the price on the contract. We can sign it ourselves. He and I have no
ties now. He's a businessman, always counting the pennies. He won't blame you."
The lawyer pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll get in touch once I've updated the contract."
Violette: "Sounds good."
Angela International Institute.
In this castle-like skyscraper, a tragedy was playing out.
"Stop crying! If you keep crying, I'm going to lose it!"
"That's right! Your parents died in a car accident last month! Even though they've paid your tuition until
you're 30, they're not returning! If you don't pull it together, no lunch or dinner for you today!"
Bitter scolding and the girl's cries intertwined.The harsh scolding mixed with the girl's crying was
unbearable.
Ian walked past the room, sneaking a peek inside.
A teen girl, unable to take care of herself because of cerebral palsy.
She spilled food on her clothes during breakfast, and the caretaker was shouted at her.
Ian plopped down on the floor, opened his laptop, and got to work, fingers flying across the keyboard.
Before long, a horrified scream came from the room behind him!
"Why did the sweeping robot hit me?!"
"I have no idea! Wait, why did the microwave turn on?!
"So weird! Are we being haunted?! Ahh!"
The two caretakers ran out of the room in a panic!
The sweeping robot followed them out!
Ian yawned lazily, then closed his laptop.
As he stood up, he locked eyes with a pair of pure and beautiful eyes.
The eyes belonged to a beautiful woman.
She had a princess-cut hairstyle and was wearing a pink princess dress.
"Big brother, you're awesome! Can you take me with you?" Makayla blinked her innocent big eyes, her
voice full of injustice and helplessness, "They want to operate on my head. It's going to hurt. I'm
scared."
Ian furrowed his brows.
This woman is at least 30, right?
Why did she call him big brother? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
