"He makes his own money," Paige answered flatly.
"It's just temporary, right? The house and car are yours, right? That guy looks cunning and he is prone to using violence. He even beat up your two brothers, and my prison thing..."
Peyton's voice suddenly stopped.
She realized that she had mentioned the prison thing on the phone because of Grant.
"What about the prison thing?" Paige looked at her.
Peyton shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to think about that unlucky stuff for even a moment."
"Hmm."
Paige responded.
The meal was very quiet.
The mother and daughter had little to say.
Peyton felt uneasy.
Naturally, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
"Daughter, those people are still waiting..." In the end, Peyton couldn't sit still and reminded her indirectly.
Paige put down her fork.
She looked at Peyton: "Mom, did you really hear everything I said on the phone?"
Peyton nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I got it."
"What would happen if you lied to me?" Paige asked.
Peyton was stunned for a moment, then said, "Our mother-daughter relationship would be cut off completely. I know that."
"Good, as long as you know." Paige opened her wallet and started looking for something as she spoke, "I've moved dad's grave. I'll take you to see him tomorrow."
"Great!"
Peyton's eyes were fixed on Paige's wallet.
A moment later,
Paige took out a check.
Peyton, as if afraid she would change her mind, grabbed it immediately.
Paige really wished there were cameras in the restaurant to record her actions and expressions.
Peyton quickly confirmed the amount.
Grant's car was parked in a corner.
After getting in the car, she happily handed the check to Grant: "Paige didn't have it either. She borrowed it from her friends. That kid is just stubborn, but she still cares about me."
Grant glanced at the check.
"If you didn't mention divorce, let's see if she would give it to you." Grant started the car as he spoke.
Peyton was stunned, "Wait, I have to go back!"
"Go back?" Grant frowned at her, "What for?"
"I promised her that after delivering the check, I would go back and have dinner with her." Peyton replied.
Grant was impatient, but still coaxed Peyton, "Honey, we need to cash the check as soon as possible to avoid other troubles."
With that, Grant drove off without waiting for Peyton's consent.
Peyton sat there, looking back, and finally chose to remain silent, not getting out of the car to keep her promise with her daughter.
On the other hand, Rosalynn's group arrived at Bane Corporation very discreetly.
Today, Wayne returned, and the top and middle management of Bane Corporation all went to the president's conference room.
