Therefore, if they ran out of money, they wouldnât be able to return to their old, affluent lives. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult the other way around.
âAll right, Iâll visit Presgrave Group tomorrow! Iâll see what I can do about getting the money. Connor was confident.
âNo, you canât go to Presgrave Group. Have you forgotten about the fact that Ellen is working there?
You must request to meet Young Master Jared outside and not inform him that Kevin is Ellenâs brother,â
Olivia reminded Connor.
Connor realized that his wife was correct. âAll right, then Iâll invite him out to talk.â
âHoney, If Young Master Jared asks who his heart donor is, tell him Kevin is your illegitimate son. Donât tell him heâs your sisterâs son. Kevin will be considered one of us in this way,â Olivia suggested.
Connorâs heart raced as he realized Oliviaâs words were making sense. If Young Master Jaredinquires, how should I introduce Kevin? Oliviaâs suggestion is superb. Iâll have a perfect excuse to ask for money if I say Kevin is my child.
That night, Connor had insomnia, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He was considering how to approach Young Master Jared, whom he had never met before, as he heard from his daughter Young Master Jared appeared to be unkind.
Perhaps the son of a wealthy man would take kindness for granted. What if he refuses to give me money if I ask?
Connor had to come up with some plausible justifications. He had already made up excuses such as being duped by friends and family. Furthermore, he would say that his familyâs financial situation had deteriorated, so he was hoping that Jared would send his family some money to allow him to continue living since he was once Jaredâs savior.
Connor also intended to pledge to Jared that he would never seek money from the Presgraves again in this life. He planned to mention how difficult it was for them to decide to donate Kevinâs heart following extubation. Young Master Jared must be made aware that the decision to save him was done out of kindness, not greed.
The more Connor thought about it, the more he believed he could complete his task, and he fell asleep in a trance at 4.00AM. During his sleep, he dreamed of a bloody Kevin appearing, which made Connor collapse in front of Kevin and cried, âStay where you are, you brat! Donât you dare to step closer!â
âWhy didnât you give my sister the money? Why?â Kevin asked, his eyes red, in a childish. tone. In the dream, Connor shoved Kevin away, saying, âYou are already dead. Why do you care so much?â
Although Connor was struggling in his dream, he still had the advantage of seniority. He then said to Kevin, who continued to bother him, âI am your uncle, and your mother is my sister. Donât even think about killing me.â
âWhy didnât you split the money with my sister? Why?â Kevin asked once again.
âMy life is going downhill now. Ellen has the relocation fund, and sheâs not short of money. Stop bothering me, or Iâll curse you,â Connor warned harshly, âAh! No!â He awoke screaming in his dream when Kevin roared and jumped on him.
Connorâs scream startled Olivia, who hurriedly asked her husband drenched in a cold sweat and panting like a cow, âWhatâs the problem, honey? Did you have a nightmare?â
He wiped the sweat off his forehead only to find it was just a dream, and the panic in his heart gradually faded. He got to his feet, lit at cigarette, and headed to the balcony for a smoke. Kevinâs questioning flooded Connorâs mind, making him frustrated and troubled.
He felt little remorse, as money could distort oneâs mentality, turning a good-hearted person selfish and causing them to lose temperament.
Connor had been engulfed by greed. He was just concerned with making enough money to live a comfortable life, but he was so stingy that he refused to share his money with others..
