Oliver immediately said, “Don’t be so nervous or anxious. Listen to me. We also want to cure Yancy of this disease, but I prefer to find out the cause. So, I want you to come over here. I’ll cover all your expenses and give you an additional remuneration of 20,000 dollars. Now, I’ll transfer you a deposit of 10,000 dollars immediately. Come and cooperate with us and verify it face-to-face with Yancy. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll pay you 20,000 dollars. What do you think about that?”

Oliver’s words instantly made the person on the other end of the phone ponder.

Although money was not everything, one could not do anything without money. At that point, “money” was the most direct way to communicate with people, and that was something Oliver was not lacking.

The person on the other end did not hang up and kept silent. Oliver realized that person was tempted.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the man on the other side could not help trembling and asking, “Will you truly… give me 20,000 dollars?”

Oliver said without hesitation, “Of course, it’s true. Give me your bank account number now,

and I’ll transfer you 10,000 dollars right away. You’ll know if it’s true when you receive the money.”

“Okay, sure. Wait a minute…” The man sounded a little flustered, and Oliver could. hear him scrambling on the phone’s other side. After a while, the man’s voice trembled as he said, “Please write this down. M-My bank account number is

6222…”

Oliver picked up the pencil and exercise book used by Yancy on the table and wrote the numbers down. Once he jotted down the bank account number, he checked it with the man again, after which

Oliver wrote the man’s name: [Diego Turner.]

“I’m going to hang up now and transfer the money. I’ll call you after that.” Oliver hung up and made a transfer to Diego’s account through mobile banking.

The transfer was completed within two minutes.

With the money transferred, Oliver dialed Diego’s number again. “I’ve already transferred the money. Have you received it?”

The man immediately replied, “Yes, I got it. I received a text message from the bank, but… why did you transfer 12,000 dollars? Didn’t you say you’ll give me 10,000 dollars first?”

Oliver said in a deep voice, “It’s 10,000 dollars. The extra 2,000 dollars is for your travel expenses. You can book the closest flight right away. It doesn’t matter what the price is-I’ll cover the fee for you if it isn’t enough.”

Hearing that, the other party replied, “Okay. I’ll book the ticket and come over now. Send me the address, and I’ll book the ticket immediately.”

Oliver was swift to pay, so the man let his guard down. The latter thought, “Why would a scammer trick a poor man like me? And a scammer wouldn’t pay me money, right?”

Calista did not say anything about Oliver’s behavior. However, Lillian and her mother, Melinda, stared at Oliver, watching him transfer 12,000 dollars to a stranger he had never met. They were both envious and jealous. Oliver gave the man tens of thousands of dollars casually. They thought it should be no big deal for Oliver to give them money since they were his relatives.

Frederick lowered his voice and said, “Oliver, it’s not safe to give him money so easily.”

Oliver remarked coldly, “I’ll make it clear. I’m not doing this for you but for Yancy. I’m willing to pay no matter the amount. As for you, don’t think of anything else!”

His words made Frederick and Lillian feel as if they were splashed with cold

water.

Oliver’s indifference made them give up their plans.

Actually, Frederick and Lillian had thought about it a lot these days. They even secretly discussed many plans with Candice to extract money from Calista.

They also secretly investigated how much money Oliver had made. They did not know the specifics but knew it was at least over 200 million dollars.

The amount kept them up all night. No matter what, they wanted to get some from Calista.

It was relatively difficult to ask for money from Oliver, but it was still possible. from Calista. It was because she had loved and protected them since childhood. However, Oliver’s previous ruthlessness also made it clear that it was hard to ask for money at that moment because they had gone too far in the past. They reckoned it would be hard to ask for money from someone else. However, Yancy’s incident made Frederick and Lillian itch to make a move. They thought in unison, “Oliver casually transferred 12,000 dollars to a stranger for Yancy and even covered all the expenses for that stranger. If we ask in the name of Yancy, will we be able to get money from Oliver?”

The people in the room were having different ideas.

More than ten minutes later, Oliver’s phone rang again. When he saw that it was Diego’s number that he had just dialed, he immediately answered it.

Diego’s voice came and sounded slightly anxious. “M-Mr. Eastwood, I’ve booked tickets and will arrive at Jeahron at seven o’clock, but we have to go downtown to reach the airport. I’ve chartered a car to take us there now, and… my brother, Derek Walcott, is going too. He’s worried…”

“No problem. I’ll handle all the expenses, including the fares and your living expenses. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport at seven o’clock,” agreed Oliver without hesitation.

“Okay. We’ll get there as soon as possible!” Diego promised excitedly when he heard Oliver’s swift agreement. Earlier, he obviously hesitated to tell Oliver that Derek wanted to go with him. Diego was afraid of being refused by Oliver. After all, it would cost more for one more person to go over.

After hanging up the phone, Oliver checked the time. It was only two o’clock in the afternoon. He turned to Wayne and ordered, “Wayne, call Fabian later and ask him to arrange a car to pick them up at the airport at seven o’clock sharp.”

Wayne nodded and walked to the balcony to call Fabian.

There was only four and a half hours before seven o’clock. It wasn’t going to take long.

But it felt long for everyone in the room, and it seemed like the truth would be revealed when those two arrived.

Frederick and Lillian thought Yancy was confused because the latter had a high fever. They did not consider that the incident might be peculiar.

However, Oliver had invited the two “sons” Yancy claimed. They could not imagine what would happen later.

At that moment, Frederick and Lillian had to let Oliver handle it completely. After all, Oliver would pay for it if he handled the matter. It would be best if they did not need to pay for anything.

Calista naturally did not care about the money. Seeing Oliver handle the matter, she secretly pulled him aside and asked, “Oliver, y-you’re not getting into any trouble after getting those two over here, are you? What if… What if they’re scammers?”

Oliver comforted Calista confidently, saying, “Don’t worry. They say a powerful outsider doesn’t oppress the local tyrant. This is our territory. Besides, with my current status, no one can easily oppress me. If they’re scammers, then that’s even better. I’ll send all of them to prison. But for some reason, I don’t think they act like scammers!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
