- This wouldn’t that be inappropriate?” I hesitated about whether to take it.
- Actually, I really wanted to take it, but I had to look like I was in a dilemma.
- This one stack could easily turn into two. This kind of money–making opportunity is much
- easier than diligently digging in the dirt.
- I knew it! Ryan Gresham added another ten thousand RMB: If you don’t talk, I’ll have to fire
- you.”
- ‘T’ll tell you.’I took the two stacks of RMB, stuffed them in my pocket, and started recounting to
- Ryan Gresham what I’d just witnessed.
- The more Ryan Gresham heard, the darker his expression became. He clenched his fists,
- jealousy surging, and muttered under his breath: ‘Letitia, you’ll be mine sooner or later!
- ‘Second Young Master, I’ll be off then. Let me know if another money–making opportunity like
- this comes up.‘ I pocketed the cash, ready to make my escape.
- ‘Hold on’s Ryan Gresham stopped me. “Next time you see Letitia Sue coming, don’t disturb
- Charles. Notify me first, got it?
- Ugh, this puts me in a tough spot! After all, Charles Gresham is the one who pays my salary
- every month.
- Ryan Gresham saw my conflicted expression. He approached, lowered his voice, and said,
- Tone million. You in?
- Wow, a million! That’s 27 years‘ worth of salary for a little gardener like me.
- Only an idiot would say no! Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to a million
- bucks.
- I nodded. “Okay! But I’ll need half as a deposit to see you’re serious.
- Ryan Gresham said generously, “I’ll transfer it to your salary card later.”
- In the afternoon, while I was watering the flowers in the Garden, my bank card showed a
- deposit of 500,000.
- Ha ha ha, I’m rich!
- At 9 p.m., Charles Gresham still hadn’t returned home from his engagements.

- I was tidying up the tools in the Garden when Letitia Sue knocked on the Villa door. I went to
- answer it.
- Letitia Sue looked anxious. “Eva Lynn, is Charles Gresham home? I need to see him urgently, but he’s not answering his phone.”
- Remembering the 500,000 deposit and the 500,000 final payment on my card, I said against better judgement, “He’s home. Please, have a seat in the Garden, and I’ll go get him for y
- “Okay.” Letitia Sue was waiting for me in the Garden.
- I turned around and told Ryan Gresham that Letitia Sue had arrived.
- Ryan Gresham’s face lit up. “I’ll transfor the remaining 500,000 to you tomorrow.”

- Ryan Gresham walked out of the Villa.
- He and Charles Gresham look exactly alike. It’s no wonder Letitia Sue can’t tell them apart; even I, the Gardener, have trouble.
- I silently packed up the Gardening tools in the Garden.
- Letitia Sue grabbed Ryan Gresham’s sleeve and said, “Charles, my dad’s in the hospital and needs money urgently for surgery. Could you lend me a million first?”
- Ryan Gresham sized up Letitia pay price.” Letitia Sue’s eyes welled up with tears: “Please help me; I’ll do anything.”

- Ryan Gresham’s gaze intensified: “Anything?”
- “Mmm.“Letitia Sue nodded, twirling her fingers around Ryan Gresham’s tie, hinting, “I’m already your woman…”
- “Let’s go to my room; I’ll get you the money.” Ryan Gresham put his arm around Letitia Sue and led her into the Villa.
- I feel a little guilty. Did I just screw Letitia Sue over?
- What if Charles Gresham comes back and tries to settle the score with me?
- Heart pounding, I trailed after them, sneaking off to eavesdrop.
- I pressed my ear to the door and heard Letitia Sue’s voice from inside: ‘Ryan, I know it’s you….
- I’m shocked. Letitia Sue knew it was Ryan all along, so why the hell am I feeling guilty?
- I strolled to the other side of the Garden, humming a little tune, and my mood lifted inexplicably.
- One million in the bag, ha ha ha, I think I’ve stumbled upon a new path to riches.
- Suddenly, a shadow fell over me.
- I looked up and saw Charles Gresham.
