The taxi stopped outside the Lind family’s villa. Janet hurried out and rang the doorbell.
Now that she had married Ethan as promised, she decided to ask her adoptive parents for money. After all, she did all this only to pay Hannah’s medical expenses.
Fiona was sitting on the sofa, sipping a cup of coffee. She looked up at Janet and smiled faintly. “How are you getting along with Ethan? You just got married yesterday. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at your house? Did something happen? Tell me now.”
She didn’t utter a word about the money as if they had never made a deal.

Fiona placed the coffee cup on the table and smiled gently. She didn’t plan on giving Janet the money. It was just a tactic to persuade Janet. It had only been an oral agreement. And Janet and Ethan were married now. Janet wouldn’t be able to do anything even if they went back on their word.

The owner of the company ran away with the money and his mistress, leaving all the problems and burden on your dad’s shoulders. Doing business isn’t easy. Look, your dad’s hair is already grey. Our family has been going through a hard time. We are having trouble with the cash flow and can’t afford such a large sum of money for the time being. Janet, please try to understand.” Fiona held Janet’s hand, trying to look pitiful.
