Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 292

Jethro inched toward his side and said, "You do know that I've got that adopted daughter. She's doing really well and she now operates her own business, so I'm going to squeeze some pension money out of her. By then, you'll have the money!"

Meanwhile, Ron shot him a look. "Would she give you the money?"

"Of course! I've got something against her in my hands as extortion, so she wouldn't dare to not pay me!"

"What is it?"

Jethro scanned his surroundings before whispering, "By the way, this is all thanks to you because otherwise, I would never have gotten any of those photos. It looks like I was right to have kept copies of them. It has been proven to be useful. Don't worry. She will definitely pay to get the photos."

Ron scoffed, "Is she really your daughter?"

Yet, Jethro's eyes merely swiveled around and he did not provide a proper answer. "Don't worry about it. I have plenty of money and I'll definitely repay you. Based on our relationship of so many years, I'll pay you extra once I receive the money."

Ron asked again, "Would you really bear to hand over all of the photos once she gives you the money?"

Jethro chuckled out loud. "Well, there is no need to point out the obvious. This is my money-making thing, so whatever it is, I have to make sure that I have enough money saved up for retirement before I decide."

"Retirement money? I think you're just a bottomless pit!"

"Look at you there. How can you spit such words? I raised her since young, so she is obligated to provide for me!"

"Whatever." Ron rose to his feet. "I don't want to beat around the bush with you and I know that you can't afford to repay me. Hand over all of the photos and the original copies to me. After that, your debt is cleared and I won't ask for any interest from you either."

Without any hesitation, Jethro rejected him outright, "Hell no!"

Ron turned to look at him. "What? Do you seriously think that you have the option to bargain with me?"

"I wouldn't dare to do that. Like I've said, this is for my retirement and I wouldn't be able to survive without this. If I hand over everything to you, then how am I supposed to live for the rest of my life?"

"Like I care! You're not even guaranteed to get the money. Besides, you'd gamble away the money even if you obtained it. In the end, you might not even have anything left to pay me after losing all your money."

"Don't say that! There's a chance that I could win." As Jethro spoke, he waved the stack of money in his hands. "This is my earnings of the day. It's substantial, isn't it?"
