Everyone was shocked. There was light at the end of the tunnel, after all.


    Lilian didn''t suffer behind bars, and she even got 1.5 million dors aspensation.


    Safe to say, the losses of her shop were sufficiently repaid.


    Lilian was proud about it; the more miserable she was when she in jail, the cockier she got when she was bailed out.


    Thinking of the second-inmand respectfully apologizing to her, she felt even more refreshed.


    Simon was exhrated as well. He told Lilian everything that had happened, then looked at Ss with admiration.


    "There''s something you don''t know, honey.


    Without Ss''s help, you wouldn''t be able to get out that easily. Mr. Bolton wouldn''t evenpensate you with that


    much money in the first ce."

    "You probably still would be in jail at this point!"


    "Aunt Anderson''s still stuck behind bars, and she''s not getting anypensation either."


    Simon patted Ss''s shoulder gratefully.


    "What a good kid."


    He was filled with admiration, thinking that it''d be good if Ss was actually his son-inw.


    However, he quickly swallowed his words after remembering that Harvey was there too.


    Gabriel, however, kept nodding his head.


    "That''s right! Young Master John did everything he could for us."


    "He''s the one who got ine to help, after all."


    "It''s all because of that man''s reputation!"


    "I see...


    Lilian seemed to realize something. She quickly walked toward Ss, and held his hand gratefully. "Oh, Ss! Thank


    you so much!"


    "You''re not our family''s son-inw, but you''re definitely better than that!"


    "I just know that you''ll be able to help us, no matter what. With your generosity and attitude, you can do anything!"


    "I don''t have anything nice to say, but from now on, the Zimmer family is your family."


    "If you need anything, just say the word!"


    "I''ll always have your back when you need me!"


    Lilian winked at Ss, as if her words had different meanings.


    However, Ss''s eyes kept twitching. Based on his reputation, he knew he had no right to ept Azrael Bolton''s


    money.


    That said, he still smiled.


    "It''s not a big deal at all."


    "All I did was ask for some help."


    "My brother''s the young master of the John family, anyway. It''s only natural that he has Mr. Bolton''s respect."


    "Besides, Mandy''s parents are my own. Of course I need to take care of you."


    "I wouldn''t be human if I didn''t do something that simple!" he eximed grandly.


    Harvey smiled coldly after seeing Ss steal all the credit while looking so righteous about it.


    There were just some things weren''t worth showing off for.


    Ss almost got in deep trouble because of the incident at the Royal Clubhouse. It''d be easy for something simr


    to happen to him again.


    "Sigh! As expected for you to be this humble, Young Master John. There aren''t a lot of people like you nowadays."


    "If you were my brother-inw, I would''ve been cruising in life by now!" Gabriel said.
