Linda was also a bit surprised. “Jane, even if you want to show some kindness, we could have just donated money. Why donate all the clothes? It’s getting cold, what will you wear?”
Jane looked at Tom, gave a light smile, and said, “Didn’t you say you’d help Hailey compensate me? These clothes are old, I don’t want them anymore. With the money, I’ll buy new ones. Is that okay?”
Tom looked at her for a while and nodded. “Fine, how much do you want? I’ll transfer it to you right now.”
Jane held up two fingers.
Tom asked, “200 thousand? Sure.”
“No.”
“2 million?”
Hailey suddenly got anxious. “How can a few pieces of clothing be worth 2 million?”
Jane gave her a cold look and then said to Tom, “20 cents.”
These clothes were the ones Tom had insisted on buying for her before.
Now that she had decided to leave, she didn’t want to take his things, let alone his money.
As he himself had said, this was the Howard family, and she was an outsider.
20 cents, transaction complete.
More than 20 years of relationship, written off in one stroke.
Tom looked slightly impatient. “Jane, what exactly do you want to do?”
“Are you going to make the transfer or not? If you are, just transfer the money. If not, forget it.”
Tom pondered for a moment and still transferred the money.
He said, “The promise has been fulfilled. Consider this my compensation for Hailey. Don’t let this issue affect your relationship with her in the future.”
Jane looked at the 20 cents that had appeared in her bank account and gave a slight smile. “Don’t worry, it will never happen again.”
“And about our wedding, you must come as the photographer. It’s Hailey’s wish.”
Jane thought for a moment, her flight was in the evening.
It would be their wedding night.
So she nodded. “Alright.”
In the following days, Jane hardly returned to the Howard family.
She went to the countryside, took a new set of bird photos, and sent them to Mr. Westwood.
Mr. Westwood was very excited after seeing them and immediately gave a video call. “Jane, your composition and color have improved even more! Several magazines here are competing for your work. Once you arrive, we can meet and pick one!”
Feeling reassured by the recognition, Jane was happy. “Alright, thank you, Mr. Westwood. By the way, did you talk to your brother? Has he agreed to let you develop your career in Eularo?”
Jane smiled. “He’s actually very supportive of it.”
