q“What is it?” Francesca asked.

“An informant in H City told me that Mr. Windt's daughter brought a sapphire necklace to the black market for auction. It was right around the time I just took care of the orphanage, so I went back to H City overnight. The people in the black market had determined that it was a priceless sapphire necklace. Since it came from F Nation's royalty, it'll sell for at least fifty million based on market price. If it's auctioned instead, then the price will go way higher. I've already asked those people to contact Ms. Windt, so she's making her way here now. I'll be meeting her soon. What price should I offer?”

“Around one million,” Francesca informed.

“Eh? Isn't one million way too little?” Anthony felt bad. “I know what you're thinking. Giving an orphaned, helpless girl too much money will only attract danger to her. But don't you think we should give her a little more?”

“Adversity makes one stronger, whereas comfort makes one weaker,” Francesca replied flatly. “At this time, if she receives too much money, she may easily give up on any desire to improve her situation. In contrast, if she only receives a little bit of money, she'll be able to live comfortably, but there'll also be enough pressure on her to make her strive for the better.”

“I understand.” He was very obedient.

“Protect the necklace and return it to her in the future,” she ordered.

“I know. You always repay a debt of gratitude in secret.” There was a tinge of teasing in his voice, though there was admiration, too. “Say, how are you so mature, even though you're still pretty young?”

“I'm not going to talk to you any further. My head's hurting.” She directly hung up the phone and lay on the bed while holding her head.
