At that, he opened his briefcases.
The contents were the same as Solomon’s.
The remaining six gang leaders also brought forward their briefcases to gift to Lacey.
Within minutes, Lacey was surrounded by cash.
800 million!
In cash!
It was a sight too grand for the human eyes.
The snowing in summer stood no chance against 800 million in cash.
The crowd was going wild.
What was the feeling of being surrounded by 800 million in cash?
There was no one more suited for this question than Lacey Hinton.
On the other hand, Dawn was frightened.
There’s so much money placed right in front of the crowd. What if someone steals it?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was overthinking.
This was the gift from the eight gang leaders, and Hades was around. Only someone without a care for their life
would try to steal it.
Right now, Lacey was feeling conflicted.
In the past, her dream was to count money until her hands cramped.
Now, her dream had come true.
If she really counted the money around her, her hands would not cramp; her hands would come off from her.
Dawn poked Lacey. “Are we... are we taking it?”
Dawn was prepared to run forward and take the money the moment Lacey gave her the order.
It was then Lacey came back to her senses. She hurriedly said, “Mister, I accept your good intentions, but these are
gifts too much for me. Why don’t I do this? I’ll take a piece or two from your briefcases as a gesture of
acceptance?”
The gang leaders begged, “Ms. Hinton, please take it. Don’t embarrass us.”
“No way. It’s not easy for you to earn money.”
“It’s easy. Ms. Hinton, I beg you, please accept our gifts.”
Everyone was speechless, and they had the urge to murder those people.
No one is like you.
The giving party begs for the receiving party to take it, but the receiving party refuses to.
Some people in the audience clicked their tongues. That’s not how you show off your wealth.
In the end, Zeke said, “Lacey, it’s their sincerity. Just take it. If not, they’ll be too embarrassed to attend at the
banquet later.”
With a look of helplessness, Lacey muttered, “Okay, I’ll take it. Thank you very much...”
Before she could finish, Dawn had rushed forward to lock the briefcases and dragged them out of the hall.
Her actions had been quicker than a leopard, but the briefcases were too heavy.
She had no other option but to ask for help.
“Dad, Mom, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help me. Don’t let others steal it.
Nancy, stop pretending to be demure. Move! Don’t tell me you can’t pick it up. I’ve seen you running with a bag full
of coins with one arm.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe crowd did not know whether to laugh or cry. The money must have gotten into the girl’s head.
Hannah and Daniel exchanged a look. “Let’s go.”
On the other hand, Nancy was still conflicted.
To take, or not to take.
She knew they gave the gifts to Lacey on behalf of Zeke.
In other words, this was Zeke’s money.
She hissed, “I won’t touch the kept man’s money. It’ll dirty my hands. This is a matter of principle.”
After saying those words, she returned to the hall.
Lacey and Dawn were speechless.
So were Hannah and Daniel.
What’s going on? Why is that girl suddenly standing on the moral high ground after being in love with money for so
long?
She’s really firm with her stance.
