C16 The Hardship Fee

Who was Lizzie?

Lizzie was Harold's mother. According to what Asher had learned from Amelia, because Harold had never had a girlfriend, Lizzie was very anxious and worried that her son would be a bachelor for the rest of his life. If that happened, the Douglas family would have no heir.

Harold's expression froze for a moment, but Asher was secretly happy. "How is it, uncle? Did you agree or not?"

"Who told you all this?" Harold suspected that Nina had intentionally taught him this.

"I searched it on the internet." Asher curled his lips and said, "But who asked you to be so famous?"

"…"

It was my fault for being famous.

As expected, she was just like that damned woman, always taking advantage of others.

"Uncle, give me a word of advice." As he was not sure if Harold would agree, Asher anxiously moved his butt.

"No…"

The maid suddenly ran in and said, "Mr. Douglas, Miss Hernandez is here."

The timing was perfect.

"Let her in."

Because he had left without permission, Asher was afraid that Nina would get angry later. "Uncle, when Mommy comes, can you tell me that you were the one who took me here?"

"Children can't lie." Harold refused.

Asher put his hands together and begged pitifully, "Uncle, please, if Mommy finds out that I secretly left with her, she will definitely be angry. Uncle, Mommy is so angry."

Even if the little guy was acting, he wouldn't be able to act so real.

It seemed that he had misunderstood.

"Alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nina rushed over and said, "Asher, why didn't you send me a message or call me when you were out?"

Nina returned home and found that her son was gone. She could not reach her son through the phone. She was so anxious that she was about to die.

"Mommy, I'm sorry." Asher lowered his head and blinked at Harold from an angle that Nina could not see.

"Mr. Douglas, please don't do this next time. Otherwise, I will call the police and sue you for child trafficking."

"Wait a minute." Harold called out to Nina and handed her the fifty thousand dollars that Eddie had brought over. He then said, "Take it. It's your hard-earned money from last time."

"…"

Did something happen after she got drunk?

"Thank you!" Nina gritted her teeth. If you have money, don't take it from the bastard. If you don't want to go against someone, don't go against money either.

"You're welcome." Harold pinched Asher's cheek and said, "I promised you."

"Uncle, this is it." Asher raised his thumb.

Nina didn't want to see her son being so intimate with Harold. She carried him and quickly left.

After returning to the residential area, Nina asked, "Ash, what did you say to him? What did he promise you?"

Asher asked, "Mommy, why did uncle give you so much money? You and uncle…"

"It's nothing. Don't think too much."

"Asher, where's your little piggy?" The auntie from the small shop downstairs asked.

Asher thought that it was a bad idea. Nina, who was confused, asked, "What little pig?"

The auntie immediately caught the gossip. "Around two hours ago, Asher came out with a money bag. Didn't he go to find you?"

Nina laughed dryly. "Yes, he went to find me."

Asher felt a sense of danger and immediately ran home.

"Asher, you even learned to lie? Come here and spank me!" Nina thought that she had misunderstood Harold again and was about to die from anger.
