Chapter 168
After listening to Amelia’s mother over the phone, Casper didn’t do anything.
He didn’t want to give her a call. However, it wasn’t because he was reluctant to pay the money. On the contrary, if money could set Amelia free from her destiny, no amount of money would matter to him.
But that wasn’t the case. Amelia’s family’s greed for money had constricted her soul.
They would never let Amelia go. Giving them money would only feed their desire, even more, thinking that Amelia was more valuable to them.
And he didn’t want that to happen.
He didn’t want Amelia’s family to continue to pester her. He wanted to set her free completely.
However, what would happen to Amelia if he didn’t make the phone call? What should Amelia do?
Casper gritted his teeth. For the first time, there was something that he could not solve with money.
He wanted to find a way to help Amelia end her misery. It would be worth it regardless of the amount he had to spend.
But now, he couldn’t rest easy no matter what.
He needed to visit Amelia at her home to see her in person. Only then could he be at ease.
All of those phone calls were not answered by Amelia herself.
Hence, it was highly possible that she was unable to use her cell phone.
Thus, Casper immediately decided to look for Amelia’s home address and go to see her. Only after seeing her in person could his worry be relieved.
But he had no clue as to where he could get her home address.
How about checking the student files? But he didn’t seem to have the authority.
How about asking her classmates? But he was the only person who knew her the most.
How about asking her instructor? After inquiring about it, he found out that he had the same instructor as her, Jack Tripp.
How unfortunate. He sighed.
Apart from the third method, the first two seemed hopeless. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
But the idea of seeing Jack really annoyed him.
After all, the conflict between them was quite bad, as it wasn’t just some minor conflict.
Casper sighed once again. He could only surrender to his misfortune and go to Jack to ask for Amelia’s home address.
However, his phone rang again.
Again, it was from Amelia’s phone number, but it wasn’t Amelia herself.
However, Casper suddenly had a revelation; a fourth method.
The fourth method would not require him to look for Jack, but to ask the caller instead.
At that thought, he answered the call.
Sure enough, the loud voice came roaring again.
Amelia’s mother didn’t expect Casper to not call her back.
To her, the possibility of him not calling back is close to zero.
But Casper actually didn’t make the call.
One minute passed, two minutes passed.
Five minutes passed and ten minutes later, the woman who was so sure of winning finally panicked.
“Do you actually want to see my daughter?” she screamed.
After all, her aggressiveness was just a fig leaf for shamelessly asking for money. Once it’s been seen through, the hideous figure underneath would be detested by anyone.
When Casper heard the panicked voice, which began to curse Amelia for being worthless for not handling such menial duties, he truly understood that Amelia was struggling in a living hell.
What was more surprising was that Amelia remained a kind and gentle girl, untainted by any toxicity living under such a family environment.
Even Casper had to respect her for that.
If he were in her shoe, he wouldn’t know how he would end up.
However, life was cruel.
“Where is your home? I want to see Amelia.” Casper asked directly. He didn’t want to complicate things with her.
Her eyes lit up as soon as she heard Casper.
Like a lamb to the slaughter.
Amelia’s mother’s name was Hilda Zeller, and a typical greedy human being.
Initially, when Casper did not make the phone call, Hilda was worried that he might be a miser.
Unexpectedly, he showed an interest in going to her house.
It sounded like he wanted to take Amelia away. Hilda thought in excitement.
She could no longer control herself. She couldn’t decide the amount of money to demand from Casper. If she asked for too much, he might not afford it. But if she asked for too little, she wouldn’t accept it.
Since he was unmoved when she first mentioned twenty thousand, there must be more than twenty thousand on him.
He might have eighty thousand to a hundred thousand on him.
Hilda could hardly hold the greedy smile on her face. Even Cody, who was next to her, was yearning with anticipation.
As one would expect from a mother and her son, even their facial expressions were indistinguishable. They share the same look of greed.
She couldn’t wait to give Casper her home address.
“My address is Third Floor, Building 1, People’s Community, Morrow District, Dacapo Town. Remember to prepare the money!”
“Or I won’t let you see my daughter,” she said arrogantly.
This was no different from extortion.
However, Casper didn’t want to waste any more time talking to that woman. At that point, there was no longer the need for it.
He went to a car rental and rented a second-hand black Santana to drive over.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have a car. The Maserati that he racked earlier had already been fixed at the shop.
The bill was more than two million, so the car looked as good as new.
However, it was too extravagant. The striking red paint was too eye-catching.
It was only suitable for showing off.
To show off at this moment would not do Amelia any good.
A second-hand Santana and cheap clothing would serve its purpose perfectly.
Casper immediately departed towards the address he got from Hilda. He wanted to see Amelia as soon as possible to confirm if she was doing fine.
However, the name of the town, district, and apartment showed no results on the map.
He patrolled the area for a long time, but couldn’t find the correct way to the apartment.
Apart from knowing that he entered Dacapo Town, the map showed nothing
It was very embarrassing.
What was even more embarrassing was that the people in the area showed up perpetually looking at him and his car as if it was something new to them.
He didn’t have the slightest idea as to where these people appeared from.
There was a lot of chatter.
