After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 232

Ella pouted, "You guys better not be fooling this country bumpkin. You, the Manners family, such big shots, can't come up with $100,000? I don't believe it."

Lucas knew there was no reasoning with someone like her, so he said coldly, "Either you name a reasonable amount, or you won't get a penny. Although Clara is my sister, I don't want her to suffer. But if there's no other way, I believe she will understand."

Ella, afraid she wouldn't get any money, quickly changed her tune, "Then how much will you give me?"

"$10,000," Lucas sneered. "This is for the care expenses when Clara moves to your house. If you do well, I'll continue to give you more."

Ella was confused by Lucas's words, "What? What care?"

Lucas replied, "Clara will move to your house for a while."

"Didn't you just..."

"That was my mother's decision, not mine," Lucas said calmly. "Since Clara's family relationship has changed, it's not suitable for her to stay with the Manners family anymore."

Given Katniss's personality, she wouldn't allow it either.

Rather than causing conflicts later, it was better to arrange things properly now.

Ella was a bit hesitant, but before she could speak, Lucas continued, "If you don't agree, then the $10,000 is off the table."

Ella had been banking on their reluctance to let Clara move, but it seemed that wouldn't work.

"Alright," Ella said with a grin, "as long as the money is right, I promise to take good care of her."

Lucas nodded, "I'll give you the money the day Clara moves into your house."

He thought for a moment and took out $100 from his pocket, "Take this first. Hire someone to clean up the house and make it as comfortable as possible for Clara."

Ella took the money with a big smile, "Alright, alright, don't worry. She's my own daughter, how could I mistreat her?"

With that ident

Despite just losing her husband, there was no trace of sadness on her face.

Lucas returned to the car, where Elodie was still comforting Clara, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. How could we not want you? We care about you the most."

Seeing Lucas get into the car, Clara assumed he had resolved everything, "Thank you."
