Triplets’ Mighty Mom

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Demanding an Exorbitant Price
After working hard for approximately 30 minutes, Camila finally stopped. Her face was covered in a sheen of sweat as she looked up at the crowd around her. “Don’t worry; Old Man Nolan will be fine. He will wake up in ten minutes if nothing unexpected occurs.” The entire scene was silent, and nobody said a word. Only Penny spoke up in discontent, “My grandpa is going to wake up just because you poked some needles into him? What the hell are you bragging about?” Even so, her eyes were glued to the old man lying on the bed as if she was trying to verify Camila’s words. On the other hand, Camila ignored her. Instead, she sat by the side, resting. “Here, Mommy.” South handed her a handkerchief that he had prepared beforehand. Taking it from him, she smiled and stroked his head. “Thanks, South.” As she wiped at her sweat, she glanced over at Silas again, and her lips curled into a smile. “President Nolan, my consultation fee is 50 million.” Similarly, the corners of Silas’s mouth lifted slightly. Then, he reached his hand out behind him.
Xavier immediately handed him a check. He took the check and subsequently placed it in her hand.
“You do demand an exorbitant price, Miss Brooklyn.” His smile hinted at a smugness of having already foreseen her actions. She was momentarily taken aback by the check in his hand.

Dimn it! I asked for too little!
The feeling that she had asked for too little intensified-even more so when she saw the nasty smile tugging at his lips.
She glared at him fiercely and reached out her hand to take the check. However, she did not expect a figure to rush over suddenly and snatch the check out of her hands before the check could even absorb the warmth from her hands. Thus, Camila frowned before turning around to look at Penny, who had snatched the check out of her hands. “Grandpa has not woken up yet, and you already want to leave after accepting the money? What if something happens to Grandpa? Where are we going to find you?”
Penny said righteously Camila felt her temper rising. Stifling the urge to hit somebody, she lifted her gaze and glared at Silas. “Is this how you treat your benefactor? By biting the hand that fed you?”
Even Silas had not expected Penny to do something like that. Hence, his expression immediately darkened. At the same time, a hostile aura flared out from his body, and he said darkly, “Hand it over.” Penny scowled but did not move an inch. “Silas, don’t be deceived by her! Grandpa isn’t awake yet! Who knows what she did to him just now?” He frowned slightly at her words and looked over at the old man lying on the bed. Although he didn’t know what Camila did to Old Man Nolan just now, he could tell that his grandpa’s condition was much better than before.
“I trust her!” he said.
