“Oh, right. Yvette, where are the wedding photos you took?” Clarine Landon suddenly remembered that her best friend had gone to take wedding photos with her husband, but she hadn’t heard anything about it ever since.

“Oh, I nearly forgot about it. Alright, we’ll collect the photos before going to visit the children this afternoon then.” Of course, Yvette Larson was referring to the orphans at Mercy Orphanage.

Mercy Orphanage was a sore point for both young ladies.

The Larson family had organized a charity ball with the Gold family for the orphanage, and it was there that Willow Stone had ended their friendship.

‘If we didn’t have that ball, would we still be friends?’ Although she knew that it had nothing to do with the ball and that it was only a matter of time before their friendship ended, Yvette Larson still held onto that hope.

She then made a call to Jamie Little, telling the latter that she would be collecting the photos later in the day before visiting Mercy Orphanage.

Jamie Little was very grateful toward her. If not for her and Finn Taylor, the orphanage would’ve needed to shut down.

But things were now improving by the day, and the orphanage had even accepted even more children. More importantly, the children were doing even better than before.

That meant the world to Jamie Little. The orphanage was her home, and it delighted her to see the orphanage getting better by the day.

That afternoon, the trio set off.

When they arrived at Jamie Little’s studio, the latter had already prepared the photos.

Although Clarine Landon had already mentally prepared herself, she was still overwhelmed with emotions when she saw her best friend’s wedding photos. “Yvette, you look so gorgeous. I can’t believe you’re married.”

Yvette Larson rolled her eyes. ‘I’ve already been married for three years. This was just a photoshoot to make up for the first one. She’s exaggerating it!’

“Finn, do you see how beautiful Yvette is? You better treat her well; otherwise, I’ll make sure you’ll pay.”

Finn Taylor felt beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. ‘What’s wrong with Clarine? We’ve already been together for three years. She’s making it sound as though we’re not married.’

“Jamie, have you told the director about our visit?”

The young lady nodded. “Yes, she’s looking forward to your visit.” Jamie Little suddenly giggled. “Oh, right. Mr. Taylor, Ms. Kleine invited someone else too.”

Finn Taylor thought that her expression seemed a little strange. “Who?”

“Harvey Little.”

“Harvey Little?” Finn Taylor chuckled, suddenly remembering that he had made a bet with that man.

At that time, he promised to change the orphanage. On the other hand, Harvey Little—who had grown up in the orphanage—hadn’t offered any help. In fact, he even mocked Finn Taylor and said that he would pretend to be a dog and bark like one if the latter managed to change the orphanage’s circumstances.

Anyone had the right to say that—anyone but Harvey Little.

He had grown up in the orphanage, so saying something like this meant that he hoped that the orphanage would fail. That was no different from cursing out one’s ancestors.

It was good enough that Finn Taylor hadn’t punched him right then and there.

They quickly drove off toward the orphanage.

When the group arrived at their destination, they were stunned.

The last time they visited the orphanage, the compound was very average. However, it was obvious that it had undergone a drastic change for the better.

The trio got out of the car and looked in to see the director playing with the children.

Seeing that the group had arrived, the director left the children and walked over. “Finn Taylor is here.”

“Ms. Kleine, this is my wife—Yvette. You’ve met. This is her best friend—Clarine. You’ve met before too.”

“Yes, I’ve met both of them. Come in and have a seat.” The director brought the trio into the meeting room.

Previously, the meeting room was a simple room built out of wooden planks. Now, it was well-constructed with concrete. Not only had it become bigger, but they had also placed a few sofas in the room.

Last time, the director had served Finn Taylor with name-brand tea. This time, she was serving him coffee made out of coffee beans.

“Ms. Kleine, you’ve done a good job sprucing this place up.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Taylor. Our children are split into five groups, and we received 15 offers this month. The money we got from the shows was enough to help make these improvements.”

Finn Taylor nodded in delight.

“That’s great, Ms. Kleine. Have you guys received the money?” Just then, they heard a voice—it was clearly Harvey Little’s.

Seeing that Finn Taylor was around, he furrowed his brows. “Why are you here?”

Obviously, he had no idea that Finn Taylor was going to be here.

“Jamie Little, you must’ve called me over for his sake.”

The young lady laughed. “What, are you afraid? Weren’t you very confident when you made that bet? You said that you would kneel down if we managed to turn this place around.”

That memory suddenly appeared in Harvey Little’s mind. He had indeed made a bet with the other man.

“Jamie Little, you owe me a lot. How dare you trick me like this? Don’t you feel bad for doing this?”

Jamie Little slammed his fist down on the table. “Harvey Little, if we want to talk about being heartless, you’ll be the first candidate. This is Mercy Orphanage—your home. Without this place, you’d be dead. You didn’t even offer a single cent when we needed money, but now that we’ve managed to turn the situation around, you’re calling me heartless?”

Harvey Little ignored her and smirked at Finn Taylor. “You must be a fool to think that I would really kneel down in front of you.”

Finn Taylor knew that the other would never admit to the bet. The latter would never do such a thing based on his personality and character.

“Ms. Kleine, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll be honest with you—I wasn’t willing to give you any money because a large corporation has its eyes set on this place. They wanted me to convince you to move away. They offered quite a huge sum of money—1..5 million dollars. Why don’t you think about it?”
