When Rocco Dixon left just now, he slammed the door angrily without closing it.

After the female captain came up with the inspectors, she simply knocked on the door to signal.

"Excuse me, I am Aldara Dun, the squadron leader of the patrol brigade, we..."

Before the other party could finish what he said, Ivane Lee immediately ran over and said with a sad face: "Comrade Inspector, this good thing was done by this loser alone, but it has nothing to do with us."

"If you want to arrest you, just arrest him alone. We don't know anything. The stolen money is all on the table, and we haven't touched any of it."

Editha Hayes quietly stood in front of Bran Ingalls, with an uneasy look on her face and her pink lips biting tightly.

She concluded that Bran Ingalls had done something illegal in order to help her, and the inspector came to arrest him.

Although she hated this kind of behavior very much, Bran Ingalls couldn't turn a blind eye to her heart anyway.

"If you find an opportunity, run away quickly. I can only help you get here."Editha Hayes whispered.

Bran Ingalls smiled knowingly, feeling warm in his heart.

Finally, someone was willing to stand up and shield him from the wind and rain.

From then on, he no longer faced it alone.

Editha, if you block me once today, I will block you for the rest of my life in the future!

Seeing that Bran Ingalls was indifferent, Editha Hayes was secretly anxious, "Run away quickly. Do you want to go to jail?"

Bran Ingalls smiled helplessly, "Editha, running away won't solve the problem, and I don't need to run away."

Editha Hayes was slightly stunned. Before she could understand what she meant, she heard Aldara Dun say in surprise: "Auntie, what are you talking about? Did we come over suddenly and scare you?"

Ivane Lee was also stunned, raised her hand and pointed at Bran Ingalls, "Didn't you come here to catch him?"

Aldara Dun glanced at Bran Ingalls, very surprised, and said with a smile: "He didn't break the law, why should we arrest him?"

"That's right. We are here specifically for a visit. We have an urgent notice. There are two desperadoes hiding in the area. You must be extra careful."

"These are portraits of those two people. If you find any suspicious persons, you must call us in time."

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

Aldara Dun led the inspectors to another household and started knocking on the door.

Except for Bran Ingalls, everyone else looked at each other.

After working on it for a long time, they themselves made an own mistake.

Editha Hayes regained her composure and looked at Bran Ingalls blankly again, "Didn't you get this money from doing something illegal?"

Bran Ingalls spread his hands with a helpless expression, "I told you that the money came from a legitimate source. There is no need to have any doubts."

"Then where did you get this money? Don't tell me it's yours."

"Editha, this is the fact. This money is really mine. You may not believe it, but I just received a call yesterday and received a large amount of money. It was the property my mother left to me."

Bran Ingalls was still talking there, not wanting to hide this from Editha Hayes.

But looking at Editha Hayes's cold and contemptuous eyes, she clearly didn't believe what he said.

"Editha, I know it's incredible to tell you this. I really am..."

"Made it up, keep making it up!"Editha Hayes crossed her arms and sneered, "Bran Ingalls, if you don't want to tell me the origin of the money, you can't make up such a ridiculous reason!"

"You really think I'm a three-year-old child!"

Malcolm Hayes also took up the conversation and said softly: "Bran Ingalls, just tell us honestly how the money came from."

"Stop making such unrealistic excuses. We know you want to put money on yourself, but your excuse is too ridiculous."

hehe!

Bran Ingalls smiled helplessly, why didn't anyone believe him when he told the truth?

You are forcing yourselves to make up lies!

Very melancholy and helpless.

"Okay, actually I bought a lottery ticket some time ago, but I didn't expect to win a big prize. I thought I would tell you after a while, Editha encountered a problem, so I had to take it out."

Bran Ingalls Rui shook his head. This excuse was also ridiculous.

I won a million-dollar jackpot by buying lottery tickets. Haha, would you believe it if I told you?

Anyway, I don’t believe it myself.

However……

"So that's it! You could have said it earlier, and it would have made us worry in vain."Malcolm Hayes laughed, "But Bran Ingalls, you are so lucky."

"Hmph, I'm just telling you, you loser, how did you get so much money? It turns out you were just lucky. God was so blind that you won the jackpot."

Ivane Lee snorted lightly, showing great disdain for Bran Ingalls.

However, he walked to the table with a smile to himself, looking at the eight million check and the two million platinum card, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

What else could Bran Ingalls say, except a wry smile.

What is this? No one listens to the truth. People think it is a ridiculous excuse.

I made up a ridiculous reason, but believed it to be true.

If you tell me, who can believe it?

"Anyway, Bran Ingalls has made a great contribution to our family. By helping Editha get through this difficult time, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Malcolm Hayes looked at Bran Ingalls with a smile, his face relaxed.

Ivane Lee still snorted, "He is the only one who has made meritorious deeds? If it hadn't been for this incident, I don't think he would have taken it out yet!"

"Besides, it's right to help Editha. You've been eating and drinking at home for three years. That's not money!"

Turning to look at Bran Ingalls, "This money will be used for your food and drink during the three years you have been at home. Let me ask you, how much money have you won in total, and do you have any leftover?"

"Mom, what are you doing!"Editha Hayes couldn't stand it anymore. When she looked at Bran Ingalls again, her expression was a little complicated and she didn't know what to say.

Some words come to my lips but I can't say them out.

"This time... thank you. But don't worry, I will pay you back the money in the future." After pondering for a while, he still expressed his gratitude in person.

Bran Ingalls smiled and said, "Editha, am I an outsider? You are my wife, and it is my duty and obligation to help you. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future."

Editha Hayes didn't say anything more, but her pretty face turned slightly red.

*Hearing Bran Ingalls call her wife in person, he did not retort coldly.

Picked up the platinum card and handed it to Bran Ingalls, "I accepted the eight million check, but I can't have this card. You can take it back."

"Why not!"Ivane Lee became anxious and snatched it from Editha Hayes hand, fearing that Bran Ingalls would regret taking it.

"Mom, give it back to Bran Ingalls, this is his money!"Editha Hayes looked slightly angry. Sometimes, she couldn't stand what Ivane Lee did.

But that's her mother, so there's not much to say.

But this time, it was obviously too much, and she could no longer be allowed to do whatever she wanted.

"His money, in this family, is the family's money. He has been eating and drinking here for the past three years. Have I ever asked for a penny from him?"

"Mom, don't you blush when you say this?"Editha Hayes face was full of shame, and she felt sorry for Bran Ingalls in her heart.

Delicious? hehe!

I really don’t know how Bran Ingalls survived these three years.

"Hmph, I don't owe him anything anyway."Ivane Lee grabbed the platinum card and refused to let go, "Bran Ingalls, do you think I have treated you badly? Are you willing to take this money back?"

Bran Ingalls really didn't like Ivane Lee at all and was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.

"I gave this money to Editha, she can just watch and handle it."

"Have you heard that? Editha, this money is yours. Mom will keep it for you first. If you need it urgently, you won't be blinded like this time."

After saying that, he immediately ran to the bedroom with the Platinum Dragon Card, the speed was incredible.

Editha Hayes shook her head. In short, she was grateful to Bran Ingalls for what happened today, but also felt a little guilty, and her emotions were very complicated.

But that's all.

Malcolm Hayes didn't think too much. The eight million gap was closed, so there was no need to worry about the internal family meeting that night.

He nodded happily towards Bran Ingalls, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Bran Ingalls looked at Editha Hayes and was about to speak when his cell phone rang.

I took it out and saw that it was the person in charge of Xinhai Investment Company calling.

He sneered secretly, it seemed that the old master of the Ingalls family had a letter.
