The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 643 Jail Time

With that in mind, Caleb narrowed his eyes and glared at Summer viciously. “Even if you don’t want to acknowledge me as your father, you can’t change the fact that we’re related by blood. Moreover, I provided for you for nineteen years of your life before you met Mr. Nico. How are you going to repay me for that?”

Now that Summer has the Jenson family’s support, there’s no way I’m letting her get rid of me. I’m going to be the father-in-law of the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation! That sounds amazing! Caleb had already started imagining how sweet his life would be in the future.

“That’s right. Summer, don’t fight with your dad anymore, okay? Since you’re back, let’s go out for dinner together so that we can welcome Mr. Nico into our family and discuss your engagement. Don’t worry. Your dad and I will do our best to arrange your wedding.” Lucinda chimed in. How I wish I were Summer’s biological mother! If I could get associated with the most prominent family in Chanaea, my friends would be so jealous of me! None of them would dare to look down on me in the future!

Summer was in awe when she realized exactly how shameless the married couple was. “One of you is shameless, and the other is mean. You two are a match made in heaven.”

In response, Caleb glared at her and pretended he didn’t hear her sarcastic comment. He then went all out as he said, “I don’t care. No matter what, I won’t agree to sever ties with you because I raised you. Even if you want to cut me off, you ought to compensate me.”

Hearing that, Nico hugged Summer’s slender shoulders and gently patted her to comfort her and give her a sense of security.

“I’ll pay you,” Nico said before whipping out a bank card and delivering it to Caleb and Lucinda. “There’s two-and-a-half million in this card. I’m sure this amount is a few times more than what you forked out to provide for Summer back then.”

Caleb and Lucinda stared at the bank card, dumbstruck

Lucinda was over the moon and couldn’t wait to take the card from Nico. “Thank you, Mr. Nico! You’re so sweet toward Summer! I must admit that this is the most generous meeting gift I’ve ever received.”

Although Caleb looked calmer than Lucinda, he failed to conceal the excitement in his eyes. That’s two- and-a-half million! I’ve never had that much money in my life! If he wants Summer that much, he can have her! Heck, if he’s willing to top up the amount, he can also have Lucinda!

Nico noticed the greedy looks on their faces. Before Lucinda could take the bank card, however, he pulled it back toward himself, causing her to grab thin air.
