Chapter 785 Solve the Problem Once And For All (1/2)

”Really? That's great... ”

As Cheryl was speaking, Uncle James grabbed her arm abruptly.

”Uh, I mean, we couldn't do that. If my family came here, your uncle's family may not be happy about the situation. We shouldn't trouble you like this, right?”

Cheryl let out a sheepish laugh as she hurriedly took back her words.

Sean couldn't help but sneer at their hypocritical words. He remembered how cold and indifferent they were when he and Carla approached them for financial aid when their father was seriously ill. Now, it seemed as if the tables had finally turned.

He wanted to laugh at the irony.

”Carla, We just want to take Jane here, that's it. We don't need anything else.”

Sensing the tension between them, Cheryl spoke again.

”Auntie, even if we could cover Jane's expenses up to high school, what about the next step after that? Do you want Jane to go with Sean when he goes to college or study abroad?”

Instead of becoming angry, Carla laughed much to their surprise.

”Well, it would be best if the two kids would be together.”

Cheryl glanced at her husband.

Carla tilted her head as she leaned back in her seat. ”Oh, are you saying that we should cover all her expenses in the future?”

The couple shared a long look, lost for words.

She had hit the nail on the head.

Cheryl was rendered speechless.

If Jane were to study abroad, they'd be unable to cover all the expenses, especially if she'd be choosing to go to another prestigious university.

Other than that, Jane's academic performance was not something to be proud of, given her failing marks in subjects like Math and English. She wouldn't be able to get a scholarship. If they added all that up, the costs would be unimaginable!

Just then, the elevator door opened.

”Daddy!” Sally jumped down from Sean's lap, running up to Terence.

He laughed, holding his daughter with his left hand as he walked over to Carla.

”Mr. Terence... ”

James and Cheryl stood up and greeted him.

”Uncle, auntie, you came,” Terence greeted them back politely, before sitting down beside Carla with Sally on his lap.
