Chapter 306 Fifty Million Dollars
October was soon halfover. Raina and Babette were surprised that Carl would come to themin person. They both looked at Carl and then at each other. Rainawas first to smile at Carl. “Mr. Bryant! Long time no see.” She led Carl into the apartment. “Please take a seat.” Carl took out a check for fifty million dollars. He wanted to get right to the point. “Mr. Casper asked me to pay you visit. You’re a smart girl, so let’s get down to busines:He handed the check to Raina as he spoke. “Rory will soonremarry Becky. Mr. Casper thinks that your presence inCourtbush will be problematic for their relationship. He hopesthat you can find yourself another city to live in. The check is theCasper family’s compensation to you.” As she looked at the check, Raina became elated. It was fleeting, however. Her face turned pale as she tried to comprehend therest of what Carl had just said. “What do you mean?” Carl was no spring chicken. He knew all about Raina’s trick ofacting ignorant and piteous. He was too smart to fall for that.. “I think Imade myself quite clear on behalf of the Casper family, “Carl replied. “If you insist on staying here in Courtbush, then youdo so at your own risk.”. Babette had stood by and been silent so far, but couldn’t any longer. “You cannot tell us where we can live. The Casper family doesn’t own Courtbush. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?” “I think you have misunderstood the intentions of Mr. Casper. You and your sister are at odds with Becky. When Rory remarriesher, do you think the Casper family will side with you or Becky?”The bluntness of Carl’s words was hard to absorb. The simplewords poked like needles into both Raina’s and Babette’s hearts.Raina was suddenly so angry she turned pale. “You don’t have to worry about that. As long as Rory stays away from me, I won’tcontact him. Please take this check back. I want to marry into theCasper family because I love Rory, not because of how wealthythey are.” Carl inwardly scoffed at Raina’s pitiful act. He wasn’t going towaste any more time on them. He refused to take the check, however, because he knew they would need the money to carryout the plan. “I don’t think saying anything else is necessary. Goodbye.” Carlstood to leave.. Babette began to throw and smash things after Carl had left.”That son of a bitch! He thinks he can get rid of us with only fiftymillion dollars? Get real!” Raina looked downtrodden and pale. “Becky is going toThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
remarryRory.” Babette tamped down her anger after she heard Raina’s words. “What do you think we should do, Raina?” They had requested money from the Casper family, and they had stopped making trouble for them, But it didn’t mean they would give up. After all, they would get way more than fifty million if Rainamarried into the Casper family.. Raina thought for a moment, unsure of what to do about theCasper family.. She looked briefly at the check sitting on the table. She wasunwilling to be sent away like trash. Before long, another opportunity would come their way.
