Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Jeffrey leaned towards Adolph, “You know, I have a daughter. She’s so capable that she even established a company. I prepare to ask her to give me some annuity. Then I will return the money to you.”

Adolph took a glance at him, “Will she give you the money?”

“Of course she will. She won’t dare to refuse my request. After all, I’ve got something on her.”

“What’s it?”

Jeffrey looked around and kept down his voice, “I have to thank you for this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the photos. Looks like it was a wise choice to take these pictures before. Rest assured, she will pay for the photos.”

Adolph sneered, “Is she really your daughter?”

Jeffrey rolled his eyes. He didn’t answer the question and said, “Rest assured. I will have money and will pay my debt. Since we’ve known each other for many years, I will give you some more money when I get the money from her.”

Adolph asked, “Will you give her the photos if she gives you the money?”

Jeffrey chuckled, “Oh, don’t point it out. She’s a ready source of money for me. At least I should get the money to pay for my coffin from her, right?”

“To pay for your coffin is enough? I think you’re a bottomless pit.”

“Oh, how can you say these words? I brought up. Shouldn’t she be filial to me?”

“Enough,” Adolph stood up, “I don’t want to beat around the bush with you, and I know you can’t return the money to me. Give me the photos and all the negative plates, and then we will get even. I will not charge the interest.”

Jeffrey refused it without a second thought, “No.”

Adolph turned to look at him, “What? Do you want to negotiate with me?”

“How dare i? I told you just now, I have to earn my coffin expense from it. It’s my lifeblood. If I give the things to you, how can I live through the rest of my life?”

“Cut the craps. Maybe you will not get the money. Moreover, if you go to the gambling house right after getting the money and lose, how will you return the money to me?”

“Oh, why are you talking about? Can’t I win?” When speaking, he shook the pile of banknotes in his hand, “Look, these are the money I won today. It’s a relatively large sum, right?”
