She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Arthur added, "Although the old house is a bit run-down, it's debt-free and can be exchanged for multiple new ones.

"Our parents are willing to give you this old house as a gift, so we're really doing our best."

The Stevens family stared at the documents in shock at the amounts listed.

They didn't dare to imagine that the Donovan family would borrow so much money.

The Stevens family thought, 'No wonder the Donovan family became rich in just two years. It turns out it was all borrowed money.

Brandon scoffed, "Our family owes so much. If we can't repay it one day, we could easily go bankrupt, end up in jail, or even be chased by creditors. We might have to come to you for money then.

"If you're interested, I can introduce you to some loan sharks. You can borrow as much as you want. If you can't pay it back, you could always sell a kid."

Despite the Stevens family's greed and arrogance toward the Donovans, they didn't have the guts to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars or even about 10 million dollars.

They were just lazy and selfish, always scheming to take advantage of others without putting in any effort.

"No, no need." They all shook their heads at this. "We're family, and since your money is borrowed, we wouldn't want to trouble you further.

"All we want is this relocation house. Just help us find good jobs, and that'll be enough."

Arthur seized the opportunity to say, "Let's go upstairs to see the house first. You can discuss whether to give it to and then we'll go through the transfer."

Maria took out the property deed, saying, "Look, I've brought the property deed with me. Let's keep it with Grandpa."

The eyes of the Stevens family lit up.

As long as the deed was in their hands, they felt the house was secured.

Ronan snatched the deed from Maria, turning around to hide it in the high waistband of his pants, covering it tightly with his outer garment. "Claire is indeed filial. We didn't raise her in vain." Maria and Arthur exchanged sly glances.
