The Legendary Man Chapter 247

A Pinky Promise

Around an hour later, the sun peaked on the horizon.

By the time Alice arrived, Randall had already left. He had rushed over from Jadeborough to hand the monetary compensation for the demolition to Arnold personally.

Scarlett’s palms were perspiring as she clutched the passbook in her hands.

“Alice, take this passbook. There is one million in the account, and I’m afraid of losing it.” The moment Alice stepped in, her mother stuffed the passbook into her hands.

“Mom, I can’t. This is too much!” Alice waved her hands hastily. She had never seen this much money in her life.

“Should we give it to Dad?” Alice mused.

“No!”

Scarlett shook her head firmly as she continued, “If he gets the money, he might find himself a few mistresses! We worked hard to get the money, so we can’t hand it to other women!”

“Mistresses? I’ll never do that!” Arnold declared as his eyes reddened indignantly.

“Who knows? Men tend to turn wicked when they are rich!” Scarlett scoffed as she stuffed the passbook into Alice’s pocket.

At the sight of their banter, Jonathan chuckled aloud. “Mrs. Renner, you can spend the money as you wish. When you run out of money, just come to me. I’ll help you out.”

Right then, something occurred to him, and he offered, “Oh, I have an empty house in the city. Do you want to move into the house?”

“No, that won’t do. We can’t stay in your house!” Scarlett shook her head profusely. “What rights do we have to do so?”

“That doesn’t matter. My house is empty as no one is living there. Isn’t it better for someone to stay there than leaving it empty?” Jonathan asked with his lips curved into a smile.
