Chapter 19 Laura trembled with fear and nodded quickly . " Okay ! I won't show up in front of Mrs. Smith ! " After saying that , she hurriedly looked outside to hide her panic . Laura knew that no one liked her . Even her mother always said that her birth was a mistake . She had long been used to it . Laura quietly looked out of the window and continued to be lost in her thoughts . Suddenly , a card was placed in front of her . Laura was startled for a moment before she looked in the direction the card was handed over and saw Antonio . She was perplexed . Antonio's eyes darkened . " There are 400 thousand dollars in the card , which is your pocket money . Take this money and buy some clothes for yourself . You can get the money from me again in two months , which means your pocket money is 200 thousand dollars a month . If you think it is not enough , let me know right now . " " He said 200 thousand dollars a month . How much is 200 thousand dollars ? " Laura's head was buzzing as she wondered . Then she asked , " How many packets of dried pasta can I buy with this money ? " Jasper chuckled and mocked Laura , saying , " You only care about your dried pasta ! This money could buy several houses of dried pasta ! Poor people . " Laura was flattered . She gasped and waved her hand frantically . " Mr. Smith , this is too much money ! I can't take it ! " She thought , " Mommy used to be angry with me for the sake of 1 dollar , but Mr. Smith is giving me money that is worth several houses of dried pasta . I can't take it ! " Antonio couldn't be bothered to deal with Laura , so he handed the card to Jasper . " Take care of it . You take this money to buy her some clothes and throw away all the second - hand clothes she brought from the orphanage . Don't let her live in Louis ' house looking poor and shabby . " Jasper was dumbfounded . " Why me ? " Everett giggled and teased Jasper , " Jasper , aren't you the closest to this new little girl among us ? You even secretly read the greeting card she gave you just now . Who else is responsible for her if not you ? " Jasper was agitated . " Who said I read her shabby greeting card ? I didn't even look at that shabby thing . I will feed it to the paper shredder today ! " As Jasper said that , he stared at Laura cautiously . " Don't listen to him . I don't like your shabby greeting card , and I didn't read it at all ! " Laura blinked in a daze . " If he doesn't like it , he doesn't like it . Why does he have to emphasize it to me once more ? " she wondered . Laura nodded obediently and said , " Okay , Jasper . I won't believe what Everett said . I don't believe it at all ! " Jasper was rendered speechless . Everett laughed so much that his body was rocking back and forth . " Hahaha ! Jasper , it seems that you are going to have lots of fun in the time to come ! Hahaha ! " 1/2 +13 Chapter 19 Antonio seemingly curled his lips into a faint smile and looked out of the window . " Hork Mall is here . You bring her to go in there and do some shopping . I will send the bodyguard to you later . As for what to buy , you can see to it , but the money is for her , and you are not allowed to spend it on yourself , " he reminded Jasper . Jasper jumped out of the car angrily . " Who cares about that small sum of money ? Let's go ! " With her short little legs , Laura followed behind Jasper clumsily . She politely waved to the others in the car and said , " Goodbye , Mr. Smith ! Goodbye , Xander and Everett ! Thank you ! " Then , the door closed , and the car drove off . Jasper urged Laura impatiently and complained , " I really don't get why I have to handle such a trivial matter of yours . Because of this nonsense , I am stuck here with you and can't even enjoy the holiday ! " Laura's expression changed suddenly . She lowered her head apologetically , and her innocent face was full of fear . " I'm sorry , Jasper . I've caused you trouble . Why don't you go home ? I can do it myself . " As Laura looked as if she was about to cry , Jasper was taken aback and smacked his lips . " Come on ! As far as your intelligence is concerned , you are most probably just going to get yourself lost ! " Then , he turned around and walked into the mall . " Come with me ! " 2/2
