"Don''t think of leaving. Don''t take my granddaughter away!" Vivienne immediately
got up and blocked the door.
A nurse rushed over from behind. "You''re in the hospital. Don''t cause a
Nheless, the Jost family was unmoved. Vivienne red at the nurse. "This is
our family''s affair. Don''t intervene. Otherwise, I''ll file aint!"
When L saw that Vivienne was harassing the nurse, she spoke up to divert
Vivienne''s attention. "Do you know that your words just now constituted the crime
of child trafficking?"
"What are you talking about? I''ll report you to the police now!" Vivienne shouted.
Unbothered, L smiled and responded, "Sure. Go ahead and report me to the
police. Let''s see if the police will arrest you or me."
"Stop scaring me. If we don''t get the money, I''ll create amotion every day. No
matter where you go, I''ll follow!"
Throwing tantrums and making a scene was Vivienne''s specialty. No one in the
vige could defeat her.
L pursed her lips. They hadn''t done anything illegal yet. Even if she reported
them to the police, the police would only reprimand them.
If L didn''t give them money, they might actually bother her every day. They
didn''t seem like they had shame.
Seeing that L was silent, Vivienne thought that she was afraid. She continued,
"Let me tell you this. We will get the money no matter what! In the past, Yasmin''s
mother didn''t give us any money. Today, Yasmin will earn some money for me!"
When L heard that, she frowned. Did it mean that not only did Vivienne not care
about Yasmin and her mother, but she had also asked them for money?
Moments ago, L thought of giving them the money, but the thought disappeared
instantly. She refused to give them any money now.
Nicole lowered her voice and said, "L, why don''t you just give them the money?
The police can''t do anything to them."
L pursed her lips, trying to think if there were other means.
Yasmin, who was in Nicole''s embrace, raised her head and nced at the Jost
family. "They''re bad people! They hit my mom!"
They even hit Yasmin and her mother? L took a deep breath. Although she was
smiling, she didn''t seem happy. "Alright then. We can give you the money."
Vivienne got up and dusted her clothes. "You should have been this obedient long
ago. Why must you create a scene? Hurry up and give me the money!"
"I don''t have that much money with me right now, and my phone broke during the
earthquake. I haven''t inserted a SIM card in this phone yet."
While saying that, L raised her
phone to show it to them,
confirming that she wasn''t lying. It
was indeed a new phone. She hadn''t
had the time to rece her initial
phone number.
"Why don''t you wait until tomorrow? If youe again tomorrow, I''ll go to the
bank with you and make a transfer."
The members of the Jost family looked at L suspiciously. "What if you run
away?"
L chuckled. "If you''re worried about that, you can have someone stay here and
keep watch. But they can''t enter the ward."
Someone nudged the young man. He immediately nodded. "Alright. I''ll stay
behind and keep watch. Don''t even think about ying tricks."
Once the group of people left the ward, the room fell silent again. Nicole was still
frowning. "L, do you not want to give them the money?"
L nodded. "If the Jost family
treated Yasmin and her mother well,
I would have given them the money.
However, they didn''t care about
Yasmin and her mother and even
wanted their money. Why should I
give them the money? They aren''t
worthy of it.
"Aunt Nicole, don''t worry." L patted Nicole''s hand. "Kieran wille overter.
Have them look into the Jost family."
This shameless family might be hiding something. If nothing turned up...
L nced at the recording in her
hand. She would have to take a trip
to the police station. Besides, there
seemed to be something off with
that young man.
