Stephanie furrowed her brows, "Twenty thousand dors?"


    "No, two hundred thousand dors."


    "What, two hundred thousand dors? We''re supposed to cover the cost of an entire house?"


    "The price of houses are soaring these days and the property he''s into is pretty spacious. He''s nning on having your grandparents live there, along with two children. Four bedrooms, one living room, over two hundred square meters in total. The house is in the suburbs, so the cost is somewhat reasonable, but he''ll need to support the kids'' education. He doesn''t have much money, so two hundred thousand dors should be enough for the down payment. Then there''s the mortgage to pay." Carol exined. "He can''t afford it, yet he''s buying a house?"


    Patty chuckled bitterly, "Isn''t that what everyone else is doing? Your grandparents have never lived in a decent house at their age. Steph, your grandparents raised your mother. Even though they''ve been unhappy with her for years, they''ve never cut ties and have always considered her their daughter. Your mom hasn''t given them much money over the years, so we can consider buying them a retirement house and we''ll handle the mortgage. You guys just need to help with the down payment."


    "Two hundred thousand dors. We wouldn''t make this much!" Stephanie said, displeased.


    Even Marilyn frowned, "Dad, Mom, Sammy, you guys are really overestimating me."


    Stephanie''s grandfather ignored them, turning to Sebastian, "What do you think?"


    His gaze suggested that as long as Sebastian was willing... two hundred thousand dors would be no problem for him.


    He was old and had seen a lot.


    Sebastian said nonchntly, "Two hundred thousand dors. Is that enough to sever your ties with your daughter and granddaughter?"


    Stephanie''s grandfather frowned, "What do you mean?"


    "I mean... if I cough up two hundred thousand dors, can everyone here guarantee that you won''t cause trouble for Mrs. Bishop and Stephanie ever again? Don''t force them to do anything they''re not willing to do! Don''t use your familial ties and morality to oppress them. It would be best if youpletely severed ties. If everyone here can do this, I can give the two hundred thousand dors."


    Sammy frowned, "What do you


    mean.


    rilyn and I are blood Do you think you can set


    our ties with money?"


    "Two hundred thousand dors. you think it''s too little?"


    "Is this about money?"


    "What about three hundred thousand dors? Is that enough?"


    "uh"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "Four hundred thousand dors?"


    "Sebastian. What the hell are you doing!"


    "Five hundred thousand dors, that''s the highest I can go. From today onwards, Mrs. Bishop and Stephanie are no longer a part of the


    Bishop family. If you agree, leavene


    right away. In three days, one hundred thousand dors with be transferred into Sammy''s ount every month for five months. If any of you breach the agreement, I can cancel the deal at any time."


    The Bishop family exchanged nces and they seemed tempted.


    Z and Zandra were dumbfounded.. Was this man really that wealthy?


    He just casually mentioned five hundred thousand dors...


    For average families like theirs, this was enough to sustain them for a lifetime. Even if their parents worked their whole lives, they couldn''t earn this much.


    Stephanie''s grandfather shot Marilyn aplex look, then stood up, "Fine! Five hundred thousand dors! I''ll act like I don''t have a


    anymore!"
