Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 222

James sighed and said, "We don't have other solutions, and we cannot conjure up a new one. In

addition to making compensation, there is no better way. Moreover, I heard that the other side likes it

very much, so I do not know if it is feasible to compensate for it. Now the most important thing is money

preparation, as for the other side's attitude, we could just wait and see!"

"Joy said the price is as high as tens of millions." Emily whispered.

James shook his head, "I'm afraid there's more than that. We can only prepare more money first. It's

best if we can make compensation by losing money."

"But you don't have that much money." Emily said.

She knew James very well. He was just a college professor, and he taught not the main course, but

engaged in the arts. So the extra income was limited. He really couldn't save much money on his

salary.

James' parents were also professors. For their scientific researches, they had devoted all their energy

these years and lived a very simple life. Their house was still allocated by the school, otherwise, they

even couldn't afford to buy a house.

But James' father collected a lot of precious things, she did not know if they could be changed into

cash.

James frowned and muttered, "I could only sell these collections of my father to see if I could get some

money. I'll borrow some more from relatives and friends, and I have a house to sell. However, these

should not be nearly enough. In two more days, I'd better meet with that person to negotiate it to see if

they can give some grace for a few more days."

"I still have 500,000 dollars here, and that house can be sold." Emily said.

James was stunned and quickly shook his head, "No, how can I take your money and sell your house?

You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it myself."

"How can you deal with it? I know you very well! We are at least a nominal husband and wife, we

should be in the same situation. I have no use keeping this money, the house can be sold and I can

buy it again. At present, we should get through the immediate difficulties first."

"But you worked hard to save all this money for Bryce. It took you a lot of effort to buy the house. If you

give it all to me..."

"Consider it as a loan from me to you, and pay it back later." Emily said.

James frowned and couldn't say anything, he knew how important these things were to Emily. These

years she was studying design while bringing up her son. This money was all earned by her hard-

working by staying up to finish the designing tasks.

But now she said she would give them to him without any hesitation. Although at first, he married her to

give Bryce a complete home and an identity. However, her kindness to him was far more than this.

Emily stayed with James' mother. Although James' mother did not treat her well before, this time she

was still willing to stay with her, James' mother was really pleased.

Emily called Joyce and told her about these things here. However, she did not say how difficult it was,

she was afraid that Joyce would only take action to help them.

But she had to trouble Joyce to take good care of Bryce, because at this time it was really inconvenient

for her to pick up Bryce back.

Joyce promised her that she would take good care of Bryce so that she wouldn't have to worry.

Two days later, Emily and James went to see that man together.

The two of them drove to where the man stayed, the largest hotel in Dover. They parked the car in the

hotel's underground garage, and the two of them walked into the elevator together.

"It's strange. There's almost no one here today." Emily said.

She had passed by this place before, and there were always a lot of people. Although it was not noisy,

it was crowded.

"I don't know. It seems that the other party is in room 802 on the fifteenth floor." James didn't care

about any of this. What he was nervous about now was that it would be troublesome if the other party

didn't give up and kept entangled.

Emily knew his nervousness and reached out to squeeze his hand, "Don't worry! It will be solved. I

don't think the other party is unreasonable."

James nodded with a chuckle and followed her out the elevator to room 802.

Unexpectedly, there were bodyguards at the door. When they saw them coming, they stopped them.

James said quickly, "I have an appointment with this gentleman inside to come and see him today."

In fact, James didn't even know the man's last name and didn't contact him. It was only when one of

the other party's assistants called him that he found out that the man was here.

"You can go in, but she can't." The bodyguard pointed at Emily.

James nodded and said to Emily, "Wait here now. I'll be out soon."

Emily nodded. She couldn't break in when she saw that she was not allowed in. She comforted James

that she would be waiting outside so that he wouldn't have to worry.

Although James said he would come out soon, Emily thought it would cost at least an hour. However, NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

she didn't expect James to go in less than two minutes and come out in a rage. He went out without

saying a word, pulling Emily to leave directly.

"What's wrong? Have you seen him? How was the talk, why do you get out so fast!" Emily was

dumbfounded and stumbled as James pulled her.

James remained silent and pulled Emily into the elevator to the underground garage.

After getting in the car, James immediately started the car and drove away.

Emily was extremely anxious and asked again, "James, say something! I'm so anxious."

"Emily, stop asking." James suddenly shouted.

This was the first time he was angry at Emily.

Emily was stunned by what he said and sat there with her lips pursed, not daring to ask any more

questions.

When they got home, James got out of the car and quickly walked upstairs, locking himself in his room.

Emily sighed and James' mother came over and asked anxiously, "How's it going? What about the

result?"

Emily shook her head and said, "I don't know. I didn't enter the room. James came out and I asked him

but he didn't say anything. I also didn't know what was going on."

"James has always been a steady child. How could he be like that? Could it be that things are difficult

to handle, so..." James' mother said worriedly.

Emily frowned. In fact, she was worried too.

However, she knocked on James' door, but James ignored her. Instead, a person from the prosecutor's

office came over in the afternoon and actually delivered the indictment, saying that the other side sued

them, and the amount of compensation was even higher than hundreds of millions.

Emily was dumbfounded, so were James' parents, and James' mother covered her face and sobbed.

James finally came out of the room and saw the indictment without saying a word. Then he said in a

low voice, "Even if it takes me a lifetime, I will still pay the money back."

James' mother tapped him and said, "What are you going to pay back? It's such a great amount of

money! Even if our whole family loses it, we can't pay it back. How in the world did you talk to that

person today? How could you suddenly be like this?!"

"Mom, stop asking." James roared.

Emily frowned at him and was about to go forward to persuade him to calm down, and James seemed

to have just found her here. He hurriedly went forward and pushed her out while saying, "Go away,

what happened here is none of your business, you go away! Don't ever come here again."
