Neera was dumbfounded.
She did not expect that she would be so unlucky to destroy a five-million-dollar vase!
Now that her funds were all tied up in the stock market, where was she going to find five million dollars to pay that man?
The triplets did not expect to get into so much trouble either.
However, they remained amazingly calm. In fact, they were plotting something.
A few seconds later, Sammy put on a pitiful expression and said, âMr. Handsome, weâve just returned from abroad, and weâre struggling with keeping our finances in check. We might not be able to return you the money any time soon. Can we sign an IOU, or would you let us pay in installments?â
âThatâs right! We only have money left for food!â Penny said.
âIf that doesnât work⦠Can we pay you back in another way?â Harvey said sincerely.
Neera was surprised. Why did you confess so quickly? I canât let them know I donât have money!
In any case, she felt bad for letting her children plead on her behalf. She was about to Chapter 20 Why Donât You Marry Him to Pay the Debt tell Jean that she would pay him back as soon as she could when lan said, âWhatâs another way? Donât tell me youâre planning to get your mother to marry Sire?â
Jean raised his eyebrows and shot a glance at Neera.
Neera nearly burst out laughing.
âOf course not!â The triplets denied it.
Even though they wanted to suggest that, they knew their mother would not agree.
âMy mommy is a very skilled doctor. She can pay you back by treating your illness!
Youâve seen how amazing her skills are, right?â
âThatâs right! In fact, sheâs already giving you a discount by charging five million dollars.â
The triplets tried to convince Jean to let Neera treat him. That way, Jeanâs illness could be treated, and he would become closer to Neera.
Before Jean said anything, Neera was already expressing her reluctance, She was on a streak of bad luck ever since she returned to Kingsview, and every incident involved that man!
Moreover, instead of treating that man for only five million dollars, she would rather accept the Beauvort familyâs request and earn fifty million dollars!

Chapter 20 Why Donât You Marry Him to Pay the Debt After reaching that conclusion, she wanted to refuse.
Harvey knew what his mother was thinking. He took her hand, dragged her to a corner, and whispered in her ear, âMommy, youâd have to admit itâs our fault. It wonât be beneficial for us if we canât see our neighbor eye to eye. Wonât you⦠accept the request?
If you can do Mr. Handsome a favor, Iâm sure heâll be glad to return the favor by babysitting us whenever youâre busy.â
Neera began to hesitate.
Harvey noticed that his mother was wavering. He grabbed her hand and continued, âMommy, do you know what I like about you the most? You look like an angel whenever you treat your patients!â
Neera thought it was very amusing. âWhy are you trying so hard to convince me to treat that guy? You were never so generous with flattery!â
Harvey blinked innocently and said, âIâm only telling you the truth! Youâre my angel, Mommy!â
He leaned forward and pecked her cheek.
Neeraâs heart melted, and she lost all resistance. âFine, fine! Iâll agree to it!â
Harvey grinned happily and dragged his mother back to where they were. âSo what do you think, Mr.
Handsome? Can she pay you back by treating you?â
