Chapter 208
As soon as they checked the surveillance, they found the relevant information.
Seeing the parent’s name and contact number on the child’s information, David found it oddly familiar.
He dialed the number, and before he could even finish, a call history popped up.
Sure enough, it was someone he knew.
Once the call was connected, David went straight to the point: “Ms. Kensington, I’m contacting you like this again, you really ought to reflect on yourself a bit.”
Hertha was totally lost, she asked curiously, “David, what do you want?”
Previously, David contacted Hertha because of Thalassa’s kids.
After that, she made a note of his contact information.
She thought this number would be forgotten in her address book, but she didn’t expect to receive his call so soon.
“Your two kids left an pump needle on the street and punctured our CEO’s tire, you need to compensate.” David didn’t beat around the bush.
Last time, her kids ran into Mr. Sinclair’s office and damaged the expensive sofa, this time, they punctured the CEO’s tire.
Her kids seemed to always have a beef with Mr. Sinclair.
Holding the phone, Hertha was shocked. “What? My kids? They punctured your CEO’s tire, what’s going on? I didn’t.”
She’s not even married, where would she get kids from?
Just as she was about to say it, something dawned on her, and she quickly shut her mouth.
That was a close call.
“What didn’t you do?” David asked.
“I’m not married.” Hertha quickly corrected herself. As soon as she said it, she realized it didn’t make sense. How could she have kids if she’s not married?
Even though she’s indeed single, it’s not something she could admit.
She did have four kids under her name, they were all Thalassa’s. She couldn’t register them under Thalassa’s name, so she had them registered as her own through her father’s connections.
She couldn’t bring trouble to Thalassa, so she nervously prepared to explain.
On the other end of the phone, David’s words were heavy with implications: “Oh right, your husband passed away. How did he die again?”
Hertha was tongue–tied, it took her a while to recall that last time when David asked for compensation, Thalassa was making gestures next to her, telling her to say that the children’s father had passed away.
Hertha immediately started to cry, saying,“Yes, my husband committed suicide. I’m raising the kids on my own and working, it’s really
hard.”
“Hold on. Did he commit suicide by jumping into the sea? I remember it was jumping off a building.” David no longer sympathized with her.
Hertha immediately stopped crying and said, “He jumped into the sea.”
She remembered Thalassa making a jumping gesture at the time; she said he jumped into the sea, not off a building, right? She even forgot how he “died“.
David rubbed his forehead and temple and said, “Regardless of how he died, I hope you’re coping well. The fact that your kids punctured our CEO’s tire is indisputable. To replace a tire on a Rolls–Royce, it’s nearly six thousand dollars. Considering you’re a single mom, we’ll give you a discount. You just need to pay five thousand.”
“What?” Hertha was dumbstruck.
How did it suddenly become five thousand?
Thalassa really had it tough, the hard–earned money had to be used not only to raise the kids but also to solve various problems. She wondered when they could finally live a relaxed life.
“Please transfer the money to my account by tomorrow afternoon.” David hung up after saying that.
The next day, Thalassa woke up at seven in the morning.
Chapter 208
Ever since she had kids, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, and days when she could wake up naturally were even rarer.
But she had gotten used to this rhythm of life. If she went to bed at ten at night, she would wake up at seven in the morning.
The kids also began to wake up one after another.
