too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

The young man was clearly calculative. 300 thousand dollars was just enough for them to pay the deposit for a house they were interested in that was near schools. With the money, his wife wouldn't make a fuss anymore.

He didn't expect Yasmin to be useful. When Yasmin's mother was still alive, he couldn't get any money from her. Now that she had passed away, her daughter was useful.

He saw that Lila and Nicole were frowning and didn't respond. He said in displeasure, "Just be straightforward. Are you compensating us or not? If you aren't, we'll take Yasmin away."

Vivienne Lancaster, the old woman, shouted, "This is outrageous! These people are trying to take my granddaughter. It's nothing short of robbery! Is there no one to stop them?"

Nicole had been elegant her entire life. She had never seen a woman cause such a commotion before and in a hospital at that. Acting this way would only cause trouble to the staff.

There were many wounded patients today. Vivienne making a scene created a bad impression. Nicole thought that 300 thousand dollars wasn't much and wanted to compensate Vivienne.

Lila could tell what Nicole was thinking. She immediately stopped the latter before grabbing her phone.

The young man was growing impatient. "We don't have the time to waste on you!"

Vivienne sat on the ground. "Is there no one to set things right? These thieves not only caused my daughter-in-law's death, but they also want to take my granddaughter now without compensation!"

Lila snorted. "Yasmin's mother's death was accidental. At that time, the rescue team was around. Are you blaming the rescue team by claiming she was killed? Do you know that accusing public servants is a crime? How many years do you want to stay in jail? I don't mind sending you there."

Hearing that, Vivienne paused. She hadn't expected Lila to be so good with words. However, Lila was still too young to frighten Vivienne.

"Even if you didn't kill her mother, it's true that you want to take her. We have raised her for so long. How could you take her away just like that?"

What Vivienne said was full of lies, but she didn't feel burdened at all. Lila couldn't help but be impressed. Vivienne was truly shameless.

Vivienne had never raised Yasmin, yet she dared to ask for 300 thousand dollars. The money wasn't much for Morgan Group, but for a normal family, it was years of savings.

Especially in a small county, even if a family saved up for ten years, they might not be able to save up to 300 thousand dollars.noveldrama

Lila snorted. "Are you saying that we can take Yasmin if we give you the money?"

"That's right. Didn't my son already say it clearly? After you give us 300 thousand dollars, you can take Yasmin."

Vivienne mumbled, "Hurry up and give us the money. We don't have the time to waste on you."

"Are you trying to sell off Yasmin for 300 thousand dollars?" Lila thought about it before continuing, "Why do you think she's worth this much?"

The members of the Jost family exchanged glances. They didn't understand what Lila meant. The young man whispered in Vivienne's ear, "Did we ask for too much? Do they think Yasmin isn't worth this much either?"

Vivienne thought about it and deemed it impossible. Didn't these wealthy people care about their reputation a lot? Weren't Lila and Nicole afraid that they would be laughed at because of them?

Vivienne believed that she hadn't caused enough commotion. She continued to sit on the ground and slapped her thighs. "Do you think you can do whatever you wante because you're rich? She's achild of the Jost family. She's worth this

much!

"I need someone to set things right now. They want to snatch my granddaughter away!"

Hearing Vivienne's cries, many people gathered around in front of the ward to see what was going on. Their judging gazes made Nicole feel embarrassed.

Nicole tugged at Lila's sleeve and said softly, "It isn't much anyway. Why don't you give it to them? Don't scare the child."

Lila patted her on the hand and told her to get Yasmin out of here first.
