Chapter 236 Reunion

“Didn’t you guys call the police?” Jonathan asked with a frown.

“We did!” Alice lowered her head and fidgeted her fingers. “The police didn’t do anything to help us. Rumors say the police and the demolition team are in it together! Jon, could you help put in a good word for us with Mr. Lautner so that they don’t demolish our house? Otherwise, we’d be homeless!”

As she was speaking, her eyes teared up, and she looked at Jonathan helplessly.

Jonathan was her only hope by then.

“Didn’t they offer compensation? Didn’t the demolition team give you guys any money?” Jonathan furrowed his brows.

“They did!” Alice bit her lips and continued, “But they only gave us fifty thousand. What on earth could we get with fifty thousand? Jon, do you know that a small house in the county costs up to seven hundred thousand? We can’t even afford a washroom with fifty thousand!”

“They only gave you fifty thousand?” Jonathan was in disbelief. Is this a joke?

He had been to Alice’s house in the past. Although it wasn’t a big house, it was definitely more than a hundred square meters big. Fifty thousand was way too little.

“Leave it to me!” Jonathan stubbed out his cigarette and glanced at Alice. “I’ll get it sorted out. In the meantime, take good care of your parents!”

“Thank you, Jon!” Alice bit her lips and bowed.
