After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 107

Kieran walked back into the ward. Seeing no one around, Ellen quickly sat up, looking all nervous. "What did Katniss say to you? I didn't tell her about the whole pretending-to-be-sick thing." "Relax, the money issue is sorted. Pack your stuff, I'll get you home soon," Kieran said, grinning from ear to ear.

Ellen blinked, confused. "A hundred grand? How did Saskia's broke family come up with that?"

"It's actually two hundred grand," Kieran said, checking the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping. He leaned in and whispered, "I told you, Saskia's cousin is loaded. Just a tiny bit of her cash is enough for us to live like kings." Plus, he remembered seeing Maximilian and Katniss looking pretty chummy at the Starry Night Hotel. If Ramon could win over Katniss, they could get close to Maximilian too. The Scott family would be set for life.

Ellen's jaw dropped. She held up two shaky fingers. "Katniss can just drop $200,000 like that? I had no idea she was that rich."

Ellen always thought when people said Saskia's uncle was rich, it just meant he was doing a bit better than most folks.

I mean, if they were really rolling in it, why would Saskia's family cut ties with them and not stay in touch?

Cutting off rich relatives? Only an idiot would do that, right?

Just as Ellen finished talking, Kieran's phone buzzed with a text.

Kieran checked his phone, a greedy smile spreading across his face. He showed the screen to Ellen. "Look, Katniss just sent a $10,000 deposit."

These days, ten grand was like a year's salary for an average family.

And Katniss sent it just like that. As for the remaining $190,000, Kieran felt like he could almost taste it.

"I'm usually swamped with work, Mom. When you get a chance, push Ramon to hurry up and woo Katniss," Kieran said, closing his phone and taking a leisurely bite of an apple. "Then you'll be Katniss's aunt, and it's only fair she buys you something nice, right?"

Ellen's smile widened. She slapped her thigh and laughed. "I raised Ramon since he was a kid, and he lived with us for years. His wife should definitely respect me."
