Chapter 124
Across from him sat a young girl, dressed in the uniform of Navoron Restaurant.
Her hands were clasped nervously in front of her as she bowed slightly. She said, “Trenton, I’ve already advanced six months of my satary Thank you for your concern.”
Trenton said, “From what I know, a kidney transplant costs about 150 thousand dollars, not to mention follow–up tare, medication, and hospital fees. Your six–month salary is only 40 thousand dollars.
“Besides, aren’t you planning to go back to school? Or do you want to spend the rest of your life as a waitress?”
His voice was calm and gentle, but every word hit like a dagger.
Helen clenched her fingers tightly and raised her head. “Trenton, my dad partnered with your cousin to start a company. He owns shares. Selling them for 300 thousand dollars shouldn’t be a problem.”
Trenton raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, “My cousin told me your dad signed a transfer agreement, giving the shares to him. What shares does he have left to sell?”
“What?”
Helen’s eyes widened in disbelief. “That’s impossible!”

Trenton chuckled, pulling out his phone and opening his photo album. He showed her a picture and said, “Here’s your dad’s signature on the document.”
Helen glanced at it and didn’t believe it. “This is fake!”
Suddenly, realization dawned on her. “You set my dad up, didn’t you?”
His gaze locked onto her face, his tone dripping with false sympathy. “A mutual agreement. How could it be a setup? Helen, you’re a good girl. You wouldn’t just stand by and watch him go without treatment, would you? I can help you.
“You know what I’m after.”
Tears of frustration and anger welled up in Helen’s eyes, her chest tightening with helplessness.
She had noticed the way he looked at her wasn’t right. But her dad refused to believe it.
“Trenton?”
Victor came from the restroom, caught sight of the scene, and strode over. “What’s going on here?” he asked.
Trenton chuckled lightly. “Victor, I…”
Victor glanced at Helen, whose eyes were slightly red, and frowned. He said, “Trenton, your wife stood by you when you had nothing, poured all her savings into your future. It’s wrong for you to do so.
“Besides, this girl doesn’t seem like someone who’d be involved in this kind of thing. If she’s not willing, just let it go.”
“She’ll be willing,” Trenton said confidently.
“Helen, don’t forget that I’m on the board of the Stars Group. If I don’t agree, your dad can not undergo kidney transplant
y.”
A sinister grin spread across his face as he reached out to touch her cheek.
But his hand was stopped halfway.

Chapter 124
Trenton turned his head, only to feel a sharp force twisted his arm. Before he could react, his own hand was slammed across his face with a food sap.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the room.
The inertia sent him stumbling back several steps.
The shock wasn’t limited to the three people present. It extended to Gloria’s youngest son, Derek, who had just arrived. His face was dark with anger
Just an hour ago, Gloria suffered a heart attack and was sent to the hospital, which shocked the entire Fletcher family.
Derek, who was preparing for his graduate exams, also hurried to the hospital. After asking around, he learned about Gloria’s heart attack because of Aria, which was extremely ridiculous.
Gloria, who had long suffered from overwork, didn’t blame Aria for the incident. She brushed it off, not even mentioning the 30 million dollar matter.
However, Derek couldn’t let it go. Frustrated, he ordered his driver to take him to Navoron Restaurant, determined to confront Aria.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he witnessed the scene…
Trenton rubbed his cheek, his expression cold briefly before forcing an awkward smile upon seeing Aria. He said, “Ms. Saxon, hello.”
His tone carried a hint of anger.
