expose the person or feel bad about the money at all. Instead, he replied clearly, “Deal.”
Jacob glanced at him with hesitance as he thought that things were not that simple. “One hundred
thousand per person and it is calculated by hour.”
Hanson was just about to ask about the price when Jacob continued, “Since tomorrow is a special
occasion, this meal will cost ten million. As for other expenses, it depends on the situation.”
“No problem,” Hanson readily agreed without much hesitation. To him, it was worth it.
After hearing his words, Jacob looked at the man as if he was stupid. Is this man’s brain functioning at
all? He could not allow his mommy to be with such a squanderer.
While looking at Jacob’s strange expression, Hanson teased, “What’s wrong? Do you want to take it
back?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“A real man never goes back on his word. I think I should be the one worrying about you instead.”
After all, this was still a meal that only existed within their conversation and an extremely expensive
meal at that.
Hanson suggested naturally, “Since we’ve both agreed, how can we renege on our word? If that’s the
case, I’ll pay a deposit first to retain my seat tomorrow.”
As he made the suggestion, he took out his phone and transferred the money without a thought.
However, he deliberately sent it to the WhatsApp user that had messaged him previously. After hearing
the notification sound ringing from Jacob’s phone, he smiled knowingly.
Jacob did not expect his act to be uncovered this quickly as he glanced at Hanson. I’ve made a
mistake… As expected, the older the goose, the harder to pluck.
To his surprise, Hanson did not expose him any further and changed the subject. “All right, it’s getting
late. You should head back and rest while I meet your mommy.”
Jacob turned his head arrogantly and looked straight ahead despite agreeing to his request. However,
after hearing that the man was coming back to accompany Vania, his childish gaze turned a little
complicated.
The gleaming moon shone through the narrow window of the police station that Vania was in. She
looked out the window and noticed how the moonlight was exceptionally bright that night, and it
reminded her of what Hanson said earlier. At that thought, her irritation gradually subsided. As she
stared at the night sky, her mind was filled with a few words as she began to make her plans.
Meanwhile, under the same moonlight was Hanson, who sat in his car for the entire night.
…
Meanwhile, Melanie had been anxiously waiting until the wee hours of the morning, only to receive no
updates from the police station. It did not help that the people whom she had contacted before had also
cut off contact with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince she was panicked, she hurriedly asked Josie, “Mom, what are we going to do now? Why haven’t
we heard from the people at the police station yet? Besides, will Hanson’s words jeopardize our plan?
What if they find out about us?”
Josie also felt a little uncertain as she did not expect those people to be so incompetent. Everything
has been settled and they only need to add their signature, so why is it that difficult? Can they use their
brains for once?
This was something that could be settled in the car, but they insisted on dragging the matter to the
police station, which resulted in the lack of updates or news. However, they were confident with their
thorough plan. Even if Vania was to reverse the verdict, she might not be able to trace the entire matter
back to them.
Although Josie was apprehensive about the outcome, she assured Melanie as well as herself by
affirming that her plans had worked. “Don’t worry, I’ve made plans in advance. Even if Vania really
reverses the verdict, I’ve found ourselves a scapegoat, so they wouldn’t suspect us, but… it might
affect your plan with Hanson.”
