"Shelly, why are you so silly?" Courtney sighed. "You could have gotten rich overnight, and y yet you choose to remain in poverty because of your pride. If I were you, I would have told the Fosters the same day I found out that I was pregnant. Even if Hayden Tate doesn't want the baby, his parents will let you keep the children."

Shelly blushed. "Courtney, I will send Audrey over to your place tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Of course! It's Elliot Foster's granddaughter we are talking about here. Aren't you worried that I'm going to take her to Elliot and ask him for money?" Courtney burst out laughing.

"... I trust you."

"My family runs a business, and I'm a businesswoman at heart. If I take Audrey to Elliot, he is going to pay me at least 150,000," said Courtney running the numbers, "and that's just the minimum. He might let me name my price and pay me 780,000 or even 1.5 million if I ask for it."

Shelly fell silent before Courtney's words.

"Naturally, I won't do that. I'm just messing with you to let you know how foolish it is for you to raise a child on your own. I thought you chose this path of hardship because the man who had knocked you up was unreliable. If he is that rich, why would you make life harder than it should be?"

"Courtney, I'm not suffering on purpose. There's no such thing as a free lunch. There's too big a difference between me and Hayden Tate, so I don't have the courage to be associated with him."

"Forget about that. As wealthy as Hayden might be, he will need to get married and have children eventually. It's not like he can reproduce on his own. You gave birth to two babies for him and that's not to be taken lightly. You deserve to get something in return." Courtney disagreed with Shelly's perspective.
