Sumr Monroe listened, then gently patted Dottie’s head and comforted her, "Don’t worry, I promise you that soon your dad will have the money to treat your mom’s illness."
Dottie rubbed her eyes and said, "But dad never agrees to sign, no matter how much I cry, it doesn’t work."
Sumr Monroe’s eyes dimd slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "Your dad will definitely sign."
Even if Henry Stanton doesn’t go along with her plan of extravagant funeral arrangents, she will make sure everyone knows that Henry won’t pay salaries, not because he can’t afford it, but because he doesn’t want to pay at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Sumr Monroe took Dottie back to the village. Before getting out of the car, she held Dottie and said, "Dottie, I need to discuss sothing with you."
"Go ahead!" Dottie patted her own chest and said, "Sister, apart from my parents, you are the best to . I’ll agree to anything you say."
Sumr Monroe smiled gratefully and said, "I’ll give you a pill. If you take it, your body will feel very uncomfortable but it won’t be fatal or cause any real harm. Once the effect wears off, you’ll be fine."
Dottie curiously fiddled with the pill and asked, "Sister, why do you want to take this?"
Sumr Monroe spoke with so difficulty, "If your dad is still unwilling to sign in the next couple of days, you take this. By then, your dad will surely need money to treat you, and he’ll have no choice but to go to Henry Stanton. I’m certain that miser won’t give him money, and then your dad will definitely sign the papers."
Dottie imdiately understood.
"I got it, Sister. I’ll act accordingly."
"It’s ’act accordingly.’
Dottie rubbed his head and smiled sheepishly, then asked, "Does that an once dad signs, I can go to school?"
"Yes," Sumr Monroe nodded, "By then, I’ll sponsor you to go to school in Crestfall."
"Wow!" Dottie’s eyes lit up, and he carefully put the pill away before reluctantly getting out of the car.
Sumr Monroe didn’t leave the village but stayed in the car with Rubin, Cece, and Bella, patiently waiting for the next day.
As for Damian Knight, he stayed in town, waiting for the right mont to assist.
The next day arrived in no ti.
Just as Sumr Monroe had anticipated, Henry Stanton indeed went all out with the funeral arrangents.
The feast was catered by the top chefs of the town, and the funeral was lavishly decorated. Just the flowers ordered for the funeral cost over ten thousand Yuan.
Over ten thousand Yuan is an astronomical sum in this place.
Damian Knight had foreseen this and booked all the flower shops in the city, then had Cece drive the flowers over.
Following Sumr Monroe’s instructions, Cece deliberately pretended to lose her way and knocked on Dottie’s house door.
Dottie’s Dad was just about to leave for the funeral when he saw soone at the door. Curious, he asked, "May I ask who you are?"
Cece smiled and introduced herself, "I’m from the flower shop in town. Mr. Henry ordered flowers from us, but I can’t find the way. Could you guide ?"
"Of course, I’m heading there myself."
Dottie’s Dad readily agreed.
On the way, Cece seized the chance to say, "That Henry in your village sure has a lot of money!"
Dottie’s Dad was taken aback and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Cece was waiting for this question and said with a smile, "He ordered over ten thousand Yuan worth of flowers from our store."
"Over ten thousand?!" Dottie’s Dad’s eyes widened in shock, "Are you sure? Ten thousand Yuan?"
"Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe , look at the receipt," Cece said, handing over the receipt to Dottie’s Dad.
Dottie’s Dad glanced at the amount, and his footsteps ca to a sudden halt.
