Chapter 32 The Custody of Kara
Chapter 32 The Custody of Kara
Linda glared at the man in front of her in anger when she heard that he wanted the custody of Kara.
Although she didn't like that little invalid, she didn't want others to blame her for giving full custody of
her granddaughter to an outsider. By doing so, she would bring shame on the Quains.
Ignoring what she had said, Nolan put on a faint smile and took out a cheque for 500, 000.
As Kara's grandmother, Linda had never taken good care of her. In fact, if James hadn't saved Kara,
she probably would have been beaten to death by Linda.
"Madam Quain, Miss Kara's father once helped my boss out. He knows that Miss Kara is in poor health
and wants to look after her to requite her father's good deed. If you give the custody of Miss Kara to my
boss, it would be right and proper for her to live with my boss and no one would blame you."
"Who is your boss?"
Linda stared at the cheque with her eyes lit up and asked falsely.
"He is a friend of Mr. David. Miss Kara's uncle and aunt also know about him. My boss planned to ask
me to talk to Ms. Sophia with the money, but you are Miss Kara's grandmother. We have to inform you
about this."
"Please allow me to apologize for my sudden behavior and offer you a small gift."
When Linda heard he mentioned Sophia and was going to give the money to Sophia, she looked
sullen.
"Kara will no longer be a Quain if I sign the agreement, right?"
"Legally speaking, you are right. But she is still your granddaughter. As I said, my boss asks you to sign
the contract since he wants to take good care of Miss Kara and not to cause scandal."
Nolan had great negotiation skills. So, Linda, a short-sighted and greedy old lady, was no match for
him.
"Miss Kara is in poor health. She needs to be in hospital and take all kinds of precious medicines. It
costs a lot. After you sign the contract, my boss will take responsibility for Miss Kara's living expenses.
If you are not satisfied with the amount of money, he will offer you more money."
Nolan took out a cheque for 200, 000 and put it on the cheque for 500, 000.
"Sign the contract and you can get the money." Nolan placed the cheques and the contract in front of
Linda.
Madam Quain stared at the cheques and swallowed in excitement. She had never seen so much
money before.
Linda thought it was a good deal to give the custody of Kara in exchange for so much money. She
raised Kara up and she had the right to get the money.
However, she in fact sold her granddaughter.
Linda excitedly picked up the pen. Without reading the document, she signed it as Nolan told her.
After she signed the contract, Nolan turned to look at the two political-legal officers who had cameras
on them. The officers nodded and went forward to have the contract stamped.
With videos, witnesses and physical evidence, James had got the custody of Kara. Nolan kept the
documents.
From now on, Kara was no longer a Quain! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Before Nolan left, he said, "Madam Quain, please don't tell anyone about this. I mentioned the money
to Ms. Sophia before. If she knows about it, she...."
Linda carefully put away the cheques with a smile on her shriveled face.
If she had known she could get so much money, she would have given the custody of Kara to others
long before.
Nolan's words reminded her of how Sophia would sign the contract and hide the truth from her.
Instantly, she looked sullen and promised that she wouldn't tell anyone else about it.
Nolan handed the contract to Kara. When Kara saw the signatures of James and Linda, she was not as
happy as she expected. She felt miserable.
It hurt!
