Cecil was hanging around the shadowy alleyway near the hospital, waiting.

As soon as he heard the job was done, he was ecstatic and immediately arranged to meet Claire in the secluded alley.

Upon seeing Claire, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the money?"

Claire handed over the cash Elysia had given her, saying, "Here."

Cecil snatched it, frowning, "This is it?"

At best, this was just a few grand. He had told Claire to ask for a cool $100,000!

He had done his homework, finding out that Emmett's adoptive parents were loaded, driving around in luxury cars, staying in fancy hotels!

Plus, they were acquainted with Folly Blythe's heiress, clearly not just anybody.

Most importantly, they adored Emmett!

Considering Emmett, getting them to fork over some cash shouldn't have been an issue.

But Claire brought back just this small amount!

Cecil was displeased, "Didn't I tell you to ask for $100,000?!"

Claire rushed to explain,
