One dollar per plant. What was the difference between this price and freeloading? Sidney's anger rose, and he said with a fierce look, "Ashburn, don't push me too far!" "Think about it carefully. I’m happy to receive a reply tonight." Ashburn patted Sidney on his shoulder, opened the door, and got out of the car. Misdeeds committed by accident can still be forgiven, but misdeeds committed by oneself intentionally couldn’t be lived. If Sidney hadn't helped Lucas deliberately make difficulties for Gina at the beginning, he would never exposed to this scandal. All of this was his fault. The Willow Company was currently having financial problems. Even if it got more than 20 Canary date palm plants from the Tucker's Flower Company Base, it was still short of more than 70 plants. These all required money, so it’s better to save as much as they can. Sidney drove away, and Gina came out of the compound. "What's going on inside now?" "Now it's a mess. Ma and Dad asked us to go back first, and they will take care of the old lady's side." Ashburn nodded lightly. Now was the time to counterattack. Hyman was not a fool and would not miss this opportunity. Followed Gina, and they back to the car. Gina hesitated for a while, then said, "Thank you this time, Ashburn." "No need." "But how do you know the child is not Lucas's biological child?" "Last time I went to the hospital to visit, I saw that the child looked nothing like Lucas, so I kept an eye out." Ashburn didn't tell her the truth because he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, just like her death last time. Again, he had to explain for a long time. He didn't want to explain now. Because that’s really tiring. Gina still had some doubts in her heart. There were too many children who looked too different from their parents around the world. Was it too risky to rely on this alone? Or just because he was lucky? It was confirmed that the child was not Lucas's. "How did you do the appraisal?" "Didn't I fight Lucas last time in the hospital? I pulled out his hair. Then I asked a friend who is working in the hospital to help me take the child's hair and use it for identification." "Is that Miss Summer?" Gina remembered that when Ashburn was on the phone in the car, he seemed to mention her. But after asking, Gina felt a little regretful, as if she was eavesdropping on his phone call. Fortunately, Ashburn and Mandy were honest and did not shy away from anything. They nodded and said, "Well, we are a neighbor." Gina said nothing and drove the car out of the parking shed. While the car was driving on the road, Ashburn suddenly thought of something and said, "This time in public, the arrogance of Uncle Trocy's family has been destroyed, but after all, it is at grandma's house. Mrs. Willow is very embarrassed. If she wants to find someone to blame, I should take the responsibility. Put it all on me." They were going to get a divorce anyway, and he didn't care what the old lady thought of him, but Gina still wanted to be a member of the Willow family. The soft part in Gina's heart ached slightly. At this time, Ashburn was still thinking about her. What she didn't tell him was that Hebe had just thrown all the blame on him already. On both sides of the street, the lights were on. Soon, when they arrived at the Old Town, Gina parked the car in front of Ashburn's house. "I won't go in. Say hello to...Mom for me." When Ashburn heard this when he got out of the car, he was slightly stunned, a little dazed. In his memory, Gina seemed to have never called Irene "Mom", not only in front of Ashburn but also in front of Irene. She always addressed Irene with ‘your mother’. Turning around, he met Gina's eyes. Her pretty face suddenly glowed with beauty. Gina quickly avoided his gaze, lowered her head, stepped on the accelerator, and left as if running away. Ashburn laughed dumbly. For some reason, he suddenly discovered Gina's cuteness. … After having dinner and taking a shower, Ashburn closed his eyes and looked inside. His spiritual cultivation did not change. It seemed that exposing Roxanne’s disloyalty would not increase his spiritual cultivation. Soon, Sidney called him. "Mr. Walker, you can find my phone number." "In this era of information sharing, this is not too difficult." Ashburn didn’t judge and asked, "Have you considered it?" "Okay, as you said, one plant for one dollar." Ashburn was a little surprised. He didn't expect Sidney to be so cheerful and said, "Don't do any tricks. Take the contract to the Willow Company to sign tomorrow." "My handle was in your hands, what tricks can I do? It's just that I have to go on a business trip tomorrow and don't have time to go to the Willow Company. Why don't you come tonight? I have prepared the contract, and you can just take it back." "Where are you?" "Dine with friends at Pier 49, Lucky Food Stall." Pier 49 mainly was operated during the day. It was relatively deserted at night and there were few restaurants. They were all slap-bang shops. Ashburn had some impressions of the Lucky Food Stall. He had never gone in to buy anything, but he had passed by the door a few times and found it to be a dirty and messy place. The Tucker family was a third-tire family in Narada, with two to three billion assets. Even if Sidney was just the son-in-law of the Tucker family, he would not be so humble as to eat in a place like this. Ashburn wouldn't believe it if he said there was nothing fishy about it. After hanging up the phone, Ashburn took out three coins from his pocket. Although a diviner did not divine for himself, he still had to be careful in emergencies to avoid accidents. "Interesting." Looking at the result, Ashburn fell into deep thought. This divination contained evil intentions with good omens emerging. The so-called divinatory symbols were not all either bad or good. Among Fu Xi sixty-four Divination, none of them were all good or all bad. Depending on what you want, the good or bad would be different. Some divinations showed a hindrance to seeking wealth, but they were very beneficial symbols of marriage. Some divinations were not suitable symbols for travel, but they were a good one which marked it’s time to start building. Therefore, when asking for divination, the fortune teller would always ask you what you want. They need to have some guidance to tell whether the divinations are good or bad. Ashburn's divination meant that he would encounter danger, but in the end, he would be able to turn the danger into safety and achieve his goal. In other words, no big accident would happen to him. After Irene fell asleep, Ashburn set off on his small electromobile and rushed to Pier 49. The Lucky Food Stall. The iron sliding door was not fully open and half hung at the door, but the light inside could still be seen from underneath. There were people inside, but the owner wasn't doing business. After parking the car, Ashburn came to the door and knocked on it. The door was pulled shut, and a fat middle-aged man wearing a white vest came out and asked, "It's closed tonight, go somewhere else!" "I'm looking for Sidney." The middle-aged fat man was posed and waved, "Come in!" When Ashburn entered, clang, all the iron sliding doors were pulled down. The dozen or so people in the hall all focused their eyes on Ashburn. Sidney was sitting on a big sofa, staring at him and sneering. Ashburn was not afraid. He picked up a bottle of beer on the table, poured himself a glass, and said, "Sidney, what a big battle!" "You forced me to do this!" Sidney’s eyes were filled with coldness. "Nowadays, a Canary date palm over 10 meters tall in China costs at least 10 thousand dollars, and you dare to offer 1 dollar for 1 plant. Dare to treat me like this, smug shit! I’ll teach you a lesson"
