�Benefactor, please come in.� Adie beckoned Justin in with a finger and said seriously,

�I�ve already discussed it with Mr. Baldwin, Mommy. He�ll give you money instead of making you empty promises from now on. Just give him a figure, and you won�t have to work so hard anymore.�

�What?� Renee�s jaw dropped, and she stared at Adie in disbelief. What had the little troublemaker done now?

However, Justin walked to Renee�s bed and nodded sincerely. �Adie�s right�I�ve never really done anything for you. Please let me do something for you now by giving you money, after all� it�s pretty much the only thing I have.�

Renee massaged her aching temples and grumbled, �Stop being unreasonable.�

�No, I�m being serious. I want to give you money.� Justin wanted to show Renee how deep his feelings for her were. He would have banked the money directly into her account if he could.

Helpless, Renee said to Justin, �Don�t take Adie�s nonsense seriously. Plus, I have money, and even if I needed money, I wouldn�t take it from you for nothing.�

�No, it�s not for nothing! I�m willing, and it�ll make me happy. I�m paying for the emotional value of it, so it�s a great bargain.� Justin protested, trying to convince Renee.

Renee sighed in exasperation. �Are you out of your mind, Justin? No one will give people money for nothing.�

Before Justin could answer, Adie eagerly defended him.

"No, Mr. Baldwin�s brain is working fine. The one whose brain is ruined is my scumbag daddy. He�s forgotten about you, Abby, and me, which is completely unforgivable!�

Renee�s expression became tense, and she immediately asked, �How do you know he�s forgotten about us? Did you meet him?�

�Yeah, I met him when I was picking flowers for you in the garden downstairs, and I even saw the woman who�s about to marry him. I find her quite strange,� Adie replied honestly. He knew that Seraphina wasn�t a nice person given what he had overheard in the garden.

�What�s so strange about her?� Renee asked curiously.

�I heard her on the phone saying that they have to stop some kind of brain surgery by getting that person into a car crash or some accident by drowning. It sounds like she�s going to do something bad.�

�She wants to stop a brain surgery?� Renee muttered, instinctively feeling like something was off. However, she didn�t ask Adie anything else about it. After playing with her children for a while, she asked Margaret to take them home.

Justin stayed behind, and looked at her in concern. �I heard that Quinton wants to leave Beach City for a while, so you have to be extra careful. Odd things have been happening lately, and a lot of people are coveting your family��

Justin only said that because he had noticed bad things happening to his family ever since he started cooperating with the Everhearts.

Most of them were attacks on their finances, like Justin�s business partner abruptly withdrawing their funds, one of their factories catching fire, and the higher-ups finding fault with him for no reason.

However, there had also been physical attacks directed at Justin and Quinton.

Quinton found a man-made bomb under his car the day before, and Justin realized that his car brakes had been tampered with when he started his car. Quinton hadn�t told Renee about all this because he didn�t want her to worry, but Justin felt that she should be aware of just how serious the situation was. JrNovels.com
