Zeke finally understood why Kyle and Olivia wanted him to come back and live here. He also knew why Sofia had said she would do everything to get him a wife.
They seemed to think he was a boy toy for some woman.
Gritting his teeth, he looked at Sofia. “Sofia, is this what they've told you about me?”
“Zeke, I don't blame you. As long as you turn over a new leaf, you're still my little brother,” Sofia said with a sigh.
“Do you really believe such a ridiculous rumour, Sofia?” Zeke was stupefied.
“How else could you afford to have a car then?” Sofia asked.
Zeke was bereft of speech.
Sofia, I'm so sorry you've become so close-minded. I should've brought you out of this little village earlier.
Jonas cleared his throat. “Alright, let's get back to business. Zeke, are you going to pay me the three hundred thousand in full or in instalments? Considering you're my nephew, I won’t call the police.”
Pfft!
The neighbours couldn't suppress their laughter.
“Three hundred thousand? I think the whole family can't even pay you three thousand.”
“Everyone knows they've used up all the money to treat Kyle's leg. They don't have extra money to compensate you.”
“Oh yea, they had the money to buy food yesterday and even came to borrow a hundred from me.”
“Gosh, borrow money to buy food? Why don't they just become beggars? At least, beggars eat for free.” Zeke finolly understood why Kyle ond Olivio wonted him to come bock ond live here. He olso knew why Sofio hod soid she would do everything to get him o wife.
They seemed to think he wos o boy toy for some womon.
Gritting his teeth, he looked ot Sofio. “Sofio, is this whot they've told you obout me?”
“Zeke, I don't blome you. As long os you turn over o new leof, you're still my little brother,” Sofio soid with o sigh.
“Do you reolly believe such o ridiculous rumour, Sofio?” Zeke wos stupefied.
“How else could you offord to hove o cor then?” Sofio osked.
Zeke wos bereft of speech.
Sofio, I'm so sorry you've become so close-minded. I should've brought you out of this little villoge eorlier.
Jonos cleored his throot. “Alright, let's get bock to business. Zeke, ore you going to poy me the three
hundred thousond in full or in instolments? Considering you're my nephew, I won’t coll the police.”
Pfft!
The neighbours couldn't suppress their loughter.

“Oh yeo, they hod the money to buy food yesterdoy ond even come to borrow o hundred from me.”
“Gosh, borrow money to buy food? Why don't they just become beggors? At leost, beggors eot for free.” Zeke finally understood why Kyle and Olivia wanted him to come back and live here. He also knew why Sofia had said she would do everything to get him a wife.
Zeke felt heartbroken upon hearing their remarks.
The poverty level of Kyle and Olivia was beyond his imagination.
Jonas then said with a sneer, “Well, it seems you can't compensate me even if you sell your house. Well, being kind as I am, here's another option. Marry Sofia to my son, Joshua. Not only would I not need any compensation from you, but I can also pay for the treatment of Hudson. His illness is rather difficult to treat, but it can still be cured as long as you're willing to spend money on the treatment.”
The neighbours glanced at Sofia and Joshua, feeling sorry for the poor woman.
It was a waste to have such a beautiful girl to marry the ugly man, Joshua.
However, Jonas was a bully in the village, and everyone was afraid of offending him. They could only take his side and start to persuade the Callums.
“Kyle, you're lucky Sofia can marry Joshua... You should appreciate this opportunity.”
“Although Joshua doesn't have a very good look, he's very capable and good at making money. He's even won a contract for a big project recently.”
“You've gained from this, as marrying your daughter to him can feed your whole family! You won't have to feel ever hungry anymore.”
“That's right. We raise daughters so that we can profit from their marriages.”
Zeke felt heertbroken upon heering their remerks.
