The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 65 This Little Brat Has Quite a Temper

“Yes, don’t worry. You can count on me, but shouldn’t you send the first payment? I’ve been on the run with the child for nearly two days and a night. It’s getting more difficult for me to afford fuel after covering so much distance. This child has been quite troublesome throughout the journey. You have no idea how much risk I’ve taken. I came close to involving the cops several times.”

Dick was not expecting any further payment at this point. His sole intention was to earn some money and leave. Besides, he would never abandon his grandchild in such a remote mountain ditch.

“Alright, just wait. The money will be transferred soon.”

He smiled foolishly and repeatedly agreed. “Yes, I’ll wait. I’m running low on fuel, so please hurry up, Miss Murphy.” With that, he ended the call and glanced at Aiden, who slept like a piglet in the back seat.

Ding!

A notification from the mobile banking app appeared, indicating that the money had been successfully deposited:

Dick eagerly unlocked his phone and gazed at the seven-figure amount in his account. A laugh escaped his lips uncontrollably. “Haha… Finally, it’s mine. Our cooperation ends here. I’d never abandon my grandson. If anyone should be blamed, you’ve made the wrong choice.”

Without hesitation, he blocked Grace’s number and threw the phone out the car window.

At that moment, Aiden in the back seat woke up groggily, calling out in an innocent and gentle voice, “Grandpa… I need to use the restroom.”

“Oh… I’ll pull over for you. Hold on. You have to hold it. Dick pulled the car over to the side of the road and lifted Aiden out of the car seat.
