Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 71

The first thing Flora did when she blearily opened her eyes was to hug her arms, but she found that there was nothing in her grip. She immediately jerked awake.

"My money! Where’s my money!” she shrieked in terror.

Ferdinand and Steven too, looked like they just had icy water sloshed over their heads. They were awake and alert.

"Didn't you take it? Why is it gone?"

"Mom, didn't you say that you weren't going to sleep? Where's the money? I need the money to marry,” Steven said, voice strained.

Flora grabbed the conductor by the collar and said, "I lost my money on your train. Give it back! Give me my two hundred thousand bucks!"

At the station, the three created such a huge ruckus that they shocked even the station master. They insisted that the station compensated for their loss of two hundred thousand bucks, and Flora shrieked and sobbed and wailed like a dying banshee near the ticket counter.

In the end, the staff helped them lodge a police report and sent the three off, finally putting the issue to rest.

Samuel received a call from Johann while he was waiting for Yvonne to finish work.

"It's done, Brother Samuel," Johann said. "What should we do with the money?”

"Let them divide it among themselves. Consider it as their remuneration," Samuel said.

Two hundred thousand was not an astronomical sum of money, but it was not some cheap change either. Johann assumed that Samuel was joking when he said that. "I can get them to send it back to you, Brother Samuel,” he said.

"No need. Just tell them to be careful and not get caught." Samuel hung up when he finished talking. Only then did Johann realize that Samuel was not joking. He really wanted the thieves to have that two hundred thousand bucks.

By the time Yvonne was done with work, she looked particularly exhausted, having worked hard the entire day. "Why don't we eat out another time?” Samuel suggested after scanning her face. "We can go back to rest today."
