The Mighty Fighter Is Back

Chapter 24: I Have Money

When Catherine woke up the next morning, she suffered from a severe headache.

A headache resulted from the hangover last night made her not feel well.

She first picked up her phone to check messages.

In the WeChat group, Guy and other schoolmates were cursing Richard for his trick on them. They also blamed her for marrying such a bastard who brought bad luck to them.

Guy vowed to let Richard pay the price.

'What Richard did was acting?' Catherine was more disappointed after reading all the messages.

Taking into account what they said, now she thought her husband was not as powerful as she had considered last night.

How could Richard be the person that made Kurt Thomas and Robert Baker kneel down?

She noticed that Richard was cooking in the kitchen.

She sat up, glanced across the soup on the bedside and looked at her pajamas, feeling warmth in her mind.

Although Richard preferred to brag himself, he returned home and made them a caring family.

The next second, however, she frowned.

If she did not pay the 30 million back to the Miller family, not only her parents would be implicated, but also Richard and she would go to jail, leaving their daughter alone to suffer.

She was in deep remorse, pain and helplessness because she had not succeeded in borrowing money from her schoolmates in last night's dinner and perhaps no better opportunity would come.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

"Cathy, Maria's disease was cured. Hurry up to the hospital. What a blessing!" said Mrs. Smith in a joyful tone.

"Really?" Catherine turned delighted with her eye rims red due to her strong emotions.

She got up at once, dressed herself and urged her husband to come, "Richard, hurry up! Our daughter had been cured. Let's go to the hospital."

In the kitchen, Richard smiled. 'Well done, Park,' thought Richard.

Last night he called Park to treat Maria, not expecting that the good news would come so fast.

They rushed to their daughter's ward in twenty minutes.

Maria was now healthy with her face ruddy and her eyes brimming with radiating vigor.

Her beautiful big eyes, in particular, seemed to have twinkling stars shining in them. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tears of joy rolling down on Catherine's face, she clasped her daughter and said, "My sweetheart..."

"Don't cry, mom. I feel well now."

Pretending to be a mature person, the adorable little girl consoled her mother by gently patted on her back.

Richard was moved with tears in eyes. He wiped tears away and thought to himself, 'After returning the gang, I must reward Park.'

His daughter looked at him with her bright eyes and suddenly asked him for a hug, "Dad~ I want a hug."

Upon hearing her words, Richard trembled.

He walked towards her and held her tight in his arms.

"We miss you, dad," said Maria, "Promise me, don't leave us again."

Her innocent words made him cry.

Richard vowed, "Sure. I will never leave our home!"

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Catherine's eyes were full of tenderness and even her parent were to cry.

Holding Richard's shoulders, Maria said to him, "I want to go to the amusement park."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Catherine and her parents checked their pocket.

They were embarrassed for their poverty.

Eddy sighed, "We don't have enough money to allow her to play there."

Glancing at Richard, Jane said in anger, "It's your entire fault, reducing us to misfortune."

Cuddling his daughter, Richard replied, "It doesn't matter. I have money."

Jane mocked with a sneer, "How much money can you have? You can only retrieve your dignity by acting, 'Great Director Thompson'."

"I do have much money." Richard replied earnestly.

But Jane still laughed at him and asked, "You said you had 100 million in your account last time. Now how much money do you have? A billion? Or 10 billion? Shall I regard Kurt Thomas, the richest man in Heufville Province, as your subordinate?"
