Chapter 231 How Dare Britney?

Just as James was losing his patience, Fanny opened the door.

Her eyes were red.

Fanny looked at James with a resentful expression, saying, “I can’t believe you can’t even wait for such a short time, James. I just... I’m a bit sad to leave this house. I’ve lived here for more than ten years. I...

Tears streamed down Fanny’s face like a waterfall.

She looked frail and delicate, crying in a way that would break anyone’s heart.

James also felt that he was a bit harsh, so he patiently explained, “I’m sorry, Fanny. I should have controlled my emotions.”

“It’s okay.” Fanny wiped her tears, trying to appear strong. “It’s all for Zacharias. I just feel a bit upset. But, knowing that my brothers still love me, I feel reassured.”

James nodded, assuring her, “Don’t worry, this is just a temporary measure. When Zacharias gets better, you will still be the princess of our Kins Family.”

“Okay.” Fanny smiled brightly, then linked arms with James. “Let’s go quickly. Otherwise, we’ll be late.

Before long, the car pulled up in front of the police station.

James, Fanny, and Scarlet stepped out of the car and walked straight in.

George and Britney were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Scarlet, George frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Since their last major argument over Linda’s situation, this couple had not crossed paths again.

They exchanged looks of mutual disdain, devoid of any affection, making the encounter uncomfortable.

Scarlet snorted at his remark. “Who are you to interfere? Is this your territory?”

George grew angry and retorted, “You shrew, it seems like you haven’t realized your mistake yet. If it weren’t for-

Realizing this, both parties ceased their argument.

James remained expressionless, saying calmly, “Let’s speed up this process.”

The Kins Family had a long history of business and were significant taxpayers in the region. Given the urgency of changing the household registration, local leaders helped to coordinate the process.

Special circumstances warranted special treatment, bypassing the standard procedures.

The problem was quickly resolved by the effective work of the police officers stationed there.

Britney held the new household registration with a joyful expression and exclaimed, “Woah! My belly is truly something. How did I give birth to such a sweet daughter?”

Britney looked at Fanny as though she was exposing Fanny, and Fanny felt slightly uncomfortable.

Raising her eyebrows, Britney remarked, “What, not even a ‘mom‘ from you? It appears you are used to being a wealthy young lady and look down on us rural folks. However, once you are in the Lynch Family’s household registration, you must show respect.”

“And your dad died not too long ago, Our family has lost a valuable worker, so you will have to work harder in the future to support me, understand?”

Britney said that as she ushered Fanny to the exit.

Scarlet’s face darkened, and she halted the two individuals in their tracks. “Even though Fanny has updated her household registration, she will continue residing with the Kins Family. Do not involve her in matters concerning the Lynch Family.”

Britney coldly snorted, displaying her displeasure. “Oh, then why change the household registration? Are you unwilling to let go because my daughter will marry into wealth in the future? Let me remind you, this is my daughter. She takes after me. It’s none of your concern.”

“I have already compensated you for the household registration.” Scarlet attempted to maintain her composure. “Now, stop causing trouble.”

Britney rolled her eyes, refusing to give in. “The household registration is one thing, but you took my daughter away. Who will take care of me in my old age? I don’t care; I expected her to support me in the future.”

James furrowed his brow. “How much do you want?”

17% 11:22 Britney’s eyes darted around as she replied, “You tell me. Fanny’s dad spent this much money on hospitalization, and in the end, he passed away. I had to borrow money from relatives and friends for medical expenses, and just the other day-

“Enough with the excuses,” Scarlet interrupted. “Just give me a number.”

Britney didn’t hold back, flipping her hand back and forth. “I don’t want much–fifty thousand.”

“Fifty thousand?” Scarlet was surprised. “This is unbelievable. You could never make that much money in a lifetime. How dare you ask this much at all?”

When she learned that the child had been switched at birth, she was already aware of this.

Britney and Mike did not have proper jobs. In the past few years, their combined salary was less than two thousand.

Later, they took some money from the Kins Family and started a small business but ended up losing money.

Even if we calculated at two thousand per month, these two would have to work for five hundred thousand without eating or drinking for over two hundred and fifty years.

How dare Britney?

How could she have the nerve to make such a demand?

Scarlet was furious; thinking about her precious daughter, who had been raised by her since. childhood, having to follow such a biological mother was heartbreaking.

Her fingers pointed at–Britney were slightly trembling as she warned, “I’m telling you, Britney, five hundred thousand is impossible.”

Hearing this, James had a headache. Riverdon, although not the most developed city in the country, was not considered poor either. Just a few days ago, he had seen the latest financial newspaper data.

The average salary of Riverdon’s employees was just over one thousand one hundred. How could Britney, a peasant worker, possibly earn so much?

Britney immediately raised her voice, shouting directly, “I knew it! You are bullying a widow. Oh God, why is life so difficult for me? This is how my dear daughter, whom I gave birth to with great difficulty, will be taken from me...”

“What sin have committed... My man has just died, and now my daughter is going to be taken Oh, I don’t want to live anymore! I might as well just die and have some peace?

Saying that, Britney pretended to rush toward the white wall.

But no one paid any attention to her Fanny lowered her eyes, concealing her strong disgust.

you want to die, past die. Why make a fuss here?

How could she be the one toho gave birth to mer Fanny was abhorred by what Britney was doing, but for the time being, she dared not speak out.

Because of how loud it was, the police officers from the police station came out to see what was going on. “What’s happening?”

James didn’t want to make a scene, so he smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Just a little family argument. We’ll leave right away!”

With that, he walked over to Britney and said, “If you want money, you better leave now.”

She grinned broadly and went right after.

For an instant, Scarlet felt lightheaded, but fortunately, Fanny was there to steady her.

James asked them to get into the car first while he went to negotiate with Britney.

Looking at her, he calmly stated, “Fifty thousand is too much. We can’t afford it.“
