Chapter 117 Uninvited Guests
When they operated on the children yesterday, their orphanage emptied their accounts, but there was still a shortfall of 8,000 dollars.
Today, another child needed money in the hospital. They still didn't know what to do, which showed how short of money they have in the orphanage.
"Dean Kitty, compared to you, I only give a little money. You are dedicated to the orphanage with all you have. You are really great." Martin said.
Lone Wolf also nodded in agreement.
"We are flattered." Kitty smiled through tears.
"By the way, Kitty, do you know Susan Bulwer?" Martin asked.
Martin thought about when he saw Susan that just walked out of the orphanage, so he wanted to ask.
Kitty nodded hurriedly, "Of course I do. She's a good person, too. In recent years, she will come to the orphanage as a temporary volunteer in her spare time, working for the orphanage and the children for free. Most of her salary is spent on buying clothes for the children, while I buy the food. She and I are good friends."
Martin was startled.
Although the woman was a little confused, Martin had to admit that she was really kind-hearted.
Kitty continued, "Mr. James, the money I returned to you yesterday was sent by Susan."
"Really?"
Martin suddenly thought that she did run into Susan at the door of the hospital yesterday. So, she was the one who sent the money.
"By the way, Mr. James, do you know Susan?" Kitty said curiously.
"Well, I don't really know her completely. I just know her." Martin waved her hand.
"She was just here a while ago. She said she wanted to see you with her own eyes, but she left suddenly on official business." Kitty was smiling.
"Want to see the kind-hearted man?"
Martin smiled. In the eyes of Susan, Martin was an abominable rich third generation.
"Now that the wish has been delivered, Lone Wolf and I will go first."
Martin turned to leave.
Just then, more than forty or fifty men dressed in black suddenly came in from the outside. Menacing at a glance, the people who came in was not here for a good purpose.
The children who were playing in the yard were scared. They hid when they saw the group.
"Why are they coming again?"
Both the director of the orphanage and Kitty changed their faces.
"I'll call Susan for help!" Kitty immediately reached for her phone and called Susan.
When the phone was connected to Susan, she said, "Susan, they're doing it again!" Kitty said eagerly.
"Dean, Susan said she'd be right back. Let's keep the crowd at bay." Kitty had a bit of fear on her little face.
"These animals are really inhumane! Even the orphanage will not be spared for the sake of money!" The dean looked pale.
"Who are these people, Dean and Kitty?" Martin asked with a frown.
"They are from the Mars Group. They want to buy the land of our orphanage to develop a new building, but they only give us one million compensations, which is simply not enough for us to build a fully equipped orphanage." Kitty said.
Kitty continued with a trembling voice. "They have come to talk twice, and we all refused. At that time, he said that he would give us three days to think about it. Today happened to be the third day."
When Martin came in, he looked at the location of the orphanage.
This orphanage should have been built ten or twenty years ago when the place was on the edge of the city. It was cheap, and the land was worthless.
However, after more than a decade of development, the land price around here had risen countless times. The orphanage was already in a prosperous area, and there was a school nearby.
The orphanage's piece of land was very large. If this piece of land was developed into real estate, within the area was the school district house, the house built on this land would definitely get very popular.
Martin won most of the land at the last auction that was why Mars Group did not have enough land to develop, so they targeted this kind of place.
"This Mars Group is really shameless. How dare they want and take it for only one million dollars for such a good piece of land? Seeing their means, do they want to be tough?" Martin squinted his eyes.
Martin asked himself if he wanted to take the land. He thought that it would definitely help build a bigger and better orphanage in other places, and gave a certain amount of pension so that the orphanage would not suffer any losses.
After doing this, Martin would have a clear conscience.
Contrary to what he thought, Mars Group only gave one million offer to the orphanage. He was simply shameless! They could skip even the most basic morality for the sake of money.
"What a jerk!"
When Lone Wolf heard this, there was a chill in his eyes.
Martin and Lone Wolf's anger was completely understandable because the last time he heard the story of Lone Wolf, the orphanage where he grew up was forcibly demolished. His best dean was seriously injured and died.
Because of this story, Lone Wolf made a fuss about it. They ruined his bright future and went into exile abroad.
Nowadays, Lone Wolf would of course be angry when he encountered similar situation as what he experienced.
"Mr. James, Mr. Lone Wolf, this has nothing to do with you. You can't be implicated, so go out using the back door." Kitty was worried.
"No. Since this kind of thing had happened to me, I certainly won't sit idly by." Martin said calmly.
As soon as his words were over, the forty or fifty big men in black had already came in.
Dean and Kitty, who had never seen such a scene at all, were naturally pale and frightened.
Their leader had a bald head.
"Dean, it's three days. How's it going? Have you thought about it?" Said the bald head proudly.
"Gentleman, one million is too little to build a new orphanage, and another thing, you would have to tear it down immediately. It takes time to build a new orphanage. During this time, the children have no place to stay at all." Kitty said.
The dean also said, "Our request is very simple, we will approve of the deal as long as we can build a new orphanage of the same size. Before the orphanage is going to be built, just help us find a place for the children to stay."
The bald man sneered, "It's none of our business where those orphans will settle down. If you have no place to live, just live on the street. You're just a bunch of things that waste air."
"You."
Both dean and Kitty changed their faces.
When Lone Wolf heard this, his fists were clenched and his eyes looked terrible.
"All right. Cut the crap. We're not here to bargain today. This is the contract. If you sign it quickly, it will save everyone the trouble. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
The bald man said, taking out a contract, and handing it to the dean.
"Don't be too arrogant! I've already called the police!" Kitty said with clenched teeth.
"If you feel free to report it, the Mars Group can't even cover this. Wouldn't Mr. Edie have been fooling around in C City for more than a decade?" The bald man said proudly.
Then, as soon as the bald head turned, he said in a cold voice, "I'll give you two minutes. If you don't sign, not only will there be no one million compensations, but I guarantee that both of you will appear in tomorrow's news. The content will be unfortunately, you were hit and killed by a car! As for the fate of these children in your hospital, it is even more difficult to say."
In the words of the bald man, there was a lot of threat.
After hearing the words, both the dean and Kitty turned pale with fear. After all, they were just women.
And the two of them, as people of C City, of course, they were well aware of the prestige of Horace Edie. They knew that his existence would be absolutely someone couldn't afford to annoy.
"I-I'll sign it!"
Even if the dean was unwilling, she could only choose to bow her head and follow their orders.
She knew that she would never be able to beat Horace Edie. If she and Kitty really died, not only the one million compensation would be gone, but these children would be left unattended.
"Wait a minute!" Martin reprimanded and stepped forward at the same time.
The bald man and the more than 40 people looked at Martin one after another, after hearing his voice.
"Boy, how dare you yell at me here?!" The bald man looked at Martin with an unhappy face.
Martin said in a cold voice, "You bastards don't even let go of the orphanage. You were all born through your mothers. Why do you think your hearts are so bad?"
When the bald man heard his words, his face suddenly darkened.
"Boy, do you know who we are? How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Of course, I know. It's the running dog of that brute Horace Edie." Martin sneered.
When the bald man heard this, anger sprang upon his face.
"Fuck you! I think you want to die! Guys, give me this kid!" The bald man roared angrily.
