In exchange for those children? Sophia started to frown. Isn’t that rather unreasonable?

The Yard Family bought that child because of her good genes, but it was clear that Sophia did not buy those eight children for the same reason.

The price of the eight of them did not amount to that one child; the Yard Family was suffering a loss.

Sophia’s eyes shifted, then she let out a smile. “Mrs. Yard, you should know how much that child is worth. She will prove to be very useful in the future if you keep her. However, even if you doubled the total worth of the eight children that I bought, it is still lower than hers. Why don’t we settle this in a more direct manner? I’ll give any amount you want for the child.”

At the mention of money, the Yards started to laugh.

Money was no more than a number to them.

They had long passed the stage of looking at price tags.

Anna pinched the teacup in her hand and admired its exquisite jade pattern. Her long eyelashes were elegant beyond comparison. Callum and Cade looked around the same age as Sophia, but Anna still looked very young. She should be the same age as Cooper!

“Miss Edwards, I think you’ve misunderstood. I don’t want money. I just need you to make a choice. What if I insist that you give me those eight children in return for the one?”

Her gaze fell on Sophia’s face. Those bright eyes looked like they were piercing through Sophia’s body and looking into her soul, making her feel tormented.

 

Sophia lowered her head and did not make a choice right away.

She bought those eight children and promised to find them a home. The Yard Family might look lavish and magnificent, but they were the biggest financial backer of the human trafficking ring in Ronney! If I put those eight children in their hands, who knows what will happen to them?
