Chapter 478
Jennifer was well aware that there was no way this stunning woman would lend her five thousand dollars without conditions. After all, they weren't related in any way. So, she took the initiative to mention an interest.
Jean smiled meaningfully. She knew full well that Jennifer was in no position to pay her back, and she found the situation amusing.
With a smile, she responded, "I don't need you to pay me back this five thousand dollars. But there are a few things I need you to do for me."
Jennifer was ecstatic. She couldn't believe her luck. She'd be able to receive money without having to repay it. This was too good to be true! She didn't hesitate for a second and readily agreed, "Sure! Even if you asked me to do dozens of things, I'd still say yes! I'll do anything you want!"
Jean was delighted to see that Jennifer had taken the bait. She had Lynn bring over a contract and handed it to Jennifer. "Here's a contract. Once you sign it, the five thousand dollars is yours. However, I must remind you that if you don't do as the agreement says, I can take the five thousand dollars back anytime. So, you'd better think carefully!"
Blinded by greed, Jennifer snatched the wad of cash and signed the contract without reading it. She then thanked Jean. "From this moment on, you're a daughter to me. No matter what you need, I'll see to it that it gets done!"
Jean glanced at the signed contract and smiled. "Very well, Madam Stein. You may leave now. I will contact you when I need your assistance. As long as you do well, I'll give you another sum of money, and you won't have to worry about your son's wedding."
That promise painted a rosy picture in Jennifer's mind. After expressing her gratitude, she stuffed the five thousand dollars into her bag and left with a smile.
As soon as she left, the smile on Jean's face vanished. "Fool! I can't believe she'd abandon her family for a measly five thousand dollars. How dare someone like her even see me as her daughter?"
She sneered before adding, "Lynn, put the agreement away and pack up my belongings-we're changing rooms tomorrow."noveldrama

It so happened to be a national holiday the next day. As such, Nadine and Sean both had the day off.
It was a beautiful day, so the two of them decided to pick Adam up from the hospital and head to his villa in the suburbs to enjoy the view and have @barbecue. As soon as

arrived at the hospital room entrance, they saw Brad standing there, respectfully offering Adam breakfast.
Adam shot his grandson a cold, disapproving look. "I gave you such a great opportunity, and all you did was let jealousy get in the way? Nad is such a wonderful young lady, she must've been blind to fall for a fool like you!"
He had hoped that the trip to Chillnada would help bring Brad and Nadine closer.
But to his utter frustration, Brad had managed to ruin it.
Not only had he wasted such a golden opportunity, but he had also pissed off Nadine so badly that she fled back to Janctera City. Adam couldn't help but wonder if his grandson even knew how to use his brain.
Brad listened patiently as Adam reprimanded him. After handing him his breakfast and watching him take the first bite, he responded, "Was that really how you planned things? You whisked me away without telling me anything-I almost thought you'd sent me to join a band of bandits in the mountains!"
