Chapter 19 

Laura trembled with fear and nodded quickly. “Okay! I won’t show up in front of Mrs. Smith!” 

After saying that, she hurriedly looked outside to hide her panic. 

Laura knew that no one liked her. 

Even her mother always said that her birth was a mistake. 

She had long been used to it. 

Laura quietly looked out of the window and continued to be lost in her thoughts. 

Suddenly, a card was placed in front of her. 

Laura was startled for a moment before she looked in the direction the card was handed over and saw Antonio. She was perplexed. 

Antonio’s eyes darkened. “There are 400 thousand dollars in the card, which is your pocket money. Take this money and buy some clothes for yourself. You can get the money from me again in two months, which means your pocket money is 200 thousand dollars a month. If you think it is not enough, let me know right now.” 

“He said 200 thousand dollars a month. How much is 200 thousand dollars? Laura’s head was buzzing as she wondered. Then she asked, “How many packets of dried pasta can I buy with this money?” 

Jasper chuckled and mocked Laura, saying, “You only care about your dried pasta! This money could buy several houses of dried pasta! Poor people.” 

Laura was flattered. She gasped and waved her hand frantically. “Mr. Smith, this is too much money! I can’t take it!” 

She thought, “Mommy used to be angry with me for the sake of 1 dollar, but Mr. Smith is giving me money that is worth several houses of dried pasta. I can’t take it!” 

Antonio couldn’t be bothered to deal with Laura, so he handed the card to Jasper. “Take care of it. You take this money to buy her some clothes and throw away all the second–hand clothes she brought from the orphanage. Don’t let her live in Louis‘ house looking poor and shabby.” 

Jasper was dumbfounded. “Why me?” 

Everett giggled and teased Jasper, “Jasper, aren’t you the closest to this new little girl among us? You even secretly read the greeting card she gave you just now. Who else is responsible for her if not you?” 

Jasper was agitated. “Who said I read her shabby greeting card? I didn’t even look at that shabby thing. I will feed it to the paper shredder today!”

Chapter 19 

As Jasper said that, he stared at Laura cautiously. “Don’t listen to him. I don’t like your shabby greeting card, and I didn’t read it at all!” 

Laura blinked in a daze. “If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like it. Why does he have to emphasize it to me once more?” she wondered. 

Laura nodded obediently and said, “Okay, Jasper. I won’t believe what Everett said. I don’t believe it 

at all!” 

Jasper was rendered speechless. 

Everett laughed so much that his body was rocking back and forth. “Hahaha! Jasper, it seems that you are going to have lots of fun in the time to come! Hahaha!” 

Antonio seemingly curled his lips into a faint smile and looked out of the window. “Hork Mall is here. You bring her to go in there and do some shopping. I will send the bodyguard to you later. As for what to buy, you can see to it, but the money is for her, and you are not allowed to spend it on yourself,” he reminded Jasper. 

Jasper jumped out of the car angrily. “Who cares about that small sum of money? Let’s go!” 

With her short little lere 

Laura followed behind Jasper clumsily. She politely waved to the others in the car and said, “Goodbye, Mr. Smith! Goodbye, Xander and Everett! Thank you!” 

Then, the door closed, and the car drove off. 

Jasper urged Laura impatiently and complained, “I really don’t get why I have to handle such a trivial matter of yours. Because of this nonsense, I am stuck here with you and can’t even enjoy the holiday!” 

Laura’s expression changed suddenly. She lowered her head apologetically, and her innocent face was full of fear. “I’m sorry, Jasper. I’ve caused you trouble. Why don’t you go home? I can do it myself.” 

As Laura looked as if she was about to cry, Jasper was taken aback and smacked his lips. “Come on! As far as your intelligence is concerned, you are most probably just going to get yourself lost!” 

Then, he turned around and walked into the mall. “Come with me!”
