I didn’t move, but I was somewhat baffled. His behavior confused me. Crocodile tears are said to be a form of excretion.
After a while, he stood up and said to me, “You lie down for a while, I’ll go make you something to eat!” But he didn’t let me see his face.
I had no interest in guessing his thoughts, even if he occasionally showed such emotions, it couldn’t change the dirty side of him in my heart. I couldn’t stoop to the level of a beast.
I knew in my heart that the best way to protect myself was to act as quickly as possible. I couldn’t let him succeed again.
During mealtime, everything about him returned to normal, his face full of warm smiles, “Wife, come quickly, eat while it’s hot! Drink the milk first!”
He attentively took care of my breakfast, as if everything had returned to the past. His actions left me a bit dazed.
“Why don’t you take a day off today! You’ve lost so much weight recently, it was very noticeable when I held you last night!” He said softly, his eyes full of tenderness.
I suddenly snapped back to reality, images of him and Lelia flashing in my mind. I felt a surge of nausea, quickly patting my chest to suppress it. “I don’t know what’s been going on with me lately, always feeling sick! Maybe I’m just worried about my parents!”
“I know, don’t worry too much. Good people will have good fortune, everything will be fine. Aren’t you calling mom every day? After the epidemic is over, I’ll go back with you to visit.” Oswald meticulously served me another fried egg, “Eat less yolk, finish the egg white, okay?”

Since I had gallstones, I rarely ate egg yolks, as they could trigger gallbladder pain.

“Let’s send them some money today! I’m afraid they might be short on cash!” I took the opportunity to say.
His chopsticks paused for a moment, and the next second he immediately laughed and said, “Alright, okay, I’ll do it!”
When I arrived at the company, I made a call to my mom. I informed her in advance not to refuse if Oswald were to send her money.
Sure enough, my mom immediately said, “No need, your dad and I don’t lack money, we have enough. The company has many places to spend money, you guys don’t need to spend more!”
“Mom, the company is the company, and you are you. What you have is yours. Don’t always consider things from your perspective. Isn’t it good to keep your money? Isn’t it good for us to spend our money? This is the filial piety we should show. Can you please stop refusing all the time? Just accept it if he offers!”
I said to my mom with a bit of frustration, “If only they could have loved money like the Price family, I wouldn’t have been so worried.”
The Price family, each of them was money–minded and never refused anyone who came to them.
After the company was established, they were the most capable. They moved houses, improved their lives, and never once inquired about the condition of the Byrne family.
Upon hearing my attitude, my mom was a bit worried, “Cass, are
you…
“Don’t overthink it, I was just anxious. As soon as I give you money, it’s like a fight. Isn’t it perfectly normal to use my daughter’s money? The company is doing incredibly well now, so just peacefully accept our filial

piety!” I reminded again.
Only then did my mother reluctantly agree to me.
But until the end of the workday, I hadn’t seen Oswald transfer the money. I knew in my heart that he was just sweet–talking me.

During dinner in the evening, I directly asked Oswald, and his response was that he was too busy and forgot.
The next morning, after arriving at the office, I reminded him again. He kept nodding, saying he would handle it soon.
At noon, my mother called to tell me that Oswald had given her 50,000 yuan. I was truly speechless. He actually had the nerve to give only 50,000?
I hung up my mother’s call and went to his office, where the secretary said there were clients present.
Upon hearing that there were clients present, I turned around and went to the finance department, filled out a fund application form for 500,000, and went straight into Oswald’s office. I didn’t care whether he had guests or not, I directly stated my reason and then asked him to sign it.
He hesitated for a moment when he saw the amount I applied for. I quickly laughed and said, “The 50,000 you were planning to use for emergencies might just be a drop in the bucket, considering it’s a stroke. Better safe than sorry, right? We’ll feel more at ease even if we can’t make it!”
He didn’t expect that I would directly mention the amount he offered in front of the guests. He felt a bit embarrassed and quickly laughed, saying, “You’re right, we must make sure the elders have no worries.” After saying this, he signed the application form and then looked at me, pretending to be serious, saying, “Ask your mother if there’s anything else we need to do.”

I nodded, without any unnecessary talk, and went straight to the finance department to transfer the payment.
After settling the payment and confirming that my mother had received the money, I finally felt satisfied and returned to the office with peace of mind.
I was happily mocking inside, giving you enough opportunities to save face.
Glanced at the time, picked up the phone, hesitated, and dialed a number for Raymon.
