The Holy Ghost was hated by everyone. Because they never put themselves in people’s shoes and always asked people to be the bigger person. They would sympathize with the so-called "weakling". For example, they would ask people to forgive an old person who used to be abusive to his wife since he was old. And they would ask people to forgive a brat who spoiled his relative’s expensive makeup because he was just a kid.
And in this incident, just because Elsa was a woman who cried, the Holy Mother Ghost would pity her for being embarrassed in public. After all, it was because it did not influence the Holy Ghost. Will Uncle Blair make the same choice if it influences his income? Josh stared at Blair, and Blair looked at Simon.
Simon was shocked to hear Josh’s words. But he recognized Josh. Could it be real? Are my parents hiding it from me? He panicked. And he recalled the times when his parents sighed before the wedding date was set. And his father asked him to tell Elsa that they could not raise the bride's prize because they could not afford it. He thought that his father only said it out of anger!
Blair said, "Mr. Pierce?"
Simon snorted, "I think Josh is right. Mr. Hernandez, what about you lending me five hundred million? I’ll return to you when I can."
Blair thought, It’s impossible! It’s not my wedding, and I barely know Simon...
Josh asked innocently, "Huh? Uncle Clair, are you not able to do it? My grandmother complimented you for making the best high-class wedding gowns. You can earn hundreds of millions each year." He then said, "If you earn a hundred million dollars per year, you should have at least a billion now! Can’t you borrow a mere five hundred million dollars from Mr. Pierce?"
Blair was speechless. This amount is also considered a huge amount for the Crawford family! He stuttered, "It’s not that I don’t want to..."
The Holy Mother Ghost hurriedly said, "It’s okay; we can afford to borrow him." She then said, "I never knew that the Pierce family was in trouble; let’s help them." She continued to say, "What if Simon’s grandparents fall ill because of the humiliation of canceling the wedding?" And this was not her money, so she did not care. But Blair cared! He thought that the Pierce family was pitiful, but he hesitated to lend them such a huge amount! What if they go bankrupt and can’t return me the money? And what if my studio is affected by this? He did not feel like lending the money.
Simon suddenly realized that Blair commented so much because he lost nothing in the process. "So, Mr. Hernandez... You yourself also think that this is too much, but why do you think it’s not much for me?" He then said, "You’re such a hypocrite man." And he left to go after Elsa.
Blair stood there awkwardly and glared at Josh. He’s just an ignorant kid; why is he stirring trouble here? But he held back, thinking that he was just a kid. "Josh, don’t simply say things next time." Blair said, "Five hundred million dollars was a huge amount." Josh said loudly, "Oh, Uncle Blair, since you said it was nothing, I thought you would help Mr. Pierce!" The workers around me started to gossip. Blair felt embarrassed about being exposed. But he really meant well for them! He did not think that he said anything wrong.
But, because of his selfishness and hesitation, the Holy Mother Ghost was not compatible with him for the first time! She said, "Wait, haven't you been a kind person since you were young? You’ve helped a lot of people; what’s stopping you?" She said, "It’s just money. Look at your friends; five hundred million dollars means nothing to them!" She snorted, "I’m disappointed in you! How dare you think about money instead of helping the Pierce family?"
Blair and she were getting restless. They were starting to repel each other. Blair was confused, and she was nagging nonstop. And Josh knew that his chance was here!
He calculated that the ghost would detach from Blair for a split second if they "quarreled.". The longer they fought, the further she detached. Josh looked at his watch to catch her at the right time. Josh grabbed her with a stack of talismans! The ghost was caught suddenly, and she was completely detached from Blair.
She was even angrier. What does this kid want from me? Why is he so determined to catch me? She snorted. "What do you want?" Josh pretended to be scared and said, "Why are you so angry? Aren’t you the best at facing the children?"
She was stunned. Oh, right… But he’s here to catch me! Why should I stay still?
Josh stuffed her into the Bag of Holding when she hesitated!
"Go in!" he yelled.
