Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 73

Adam rushed to the public security bureau, expecting the same place and the same scenario. However, after paying the bail, he realized it wasn't the case this time.

Trey wasn't arrested for playing mahjong this time but for taking a bath...

Arrested for taking a bath?

Even a child could tell it wasn't that simple!

No wonder his mom wasn't at home today, and Trey insisted on waiting until Katie went to work before calling himself.

After leaving the public security bureau, Adam hesitated for a while before speaking, "Dad, you should try to avoid going to these places in the future. It wouldn't be good if Mom and Katie found out."

Trey immediately frowned, saying, "It's not like I actively want to go. Friends invited me; what can I do?"

"Besides, this is a mistake that all men make. Can you honestly say you've never been to such a place?"

Adam firmly shook his head, "Never."

Trey let out a cold laugh, "Heh."

Adam sighed helplessly and continued, "Dad, if you really can't refuse due to face, taking a bath and getting a massage is actually not a bad idea. But there are things you shouldn't do - it's illegal and can lead to health issues, even if..." "Enough, enough."

Trey impatiently interrupted, "I asked you to bail me out, not to lecture me. I don't owe you anything. Speak up, how much is the bail? I'll give it to you."

"Dad, that's not what I mean."

"Explaining is just a cover-up. I know you're not well-off, but you should find a job. A grown man like you asking my daughter for money every day, don't you feel embarrassed?"

As he spoke, Trey opened his briefcase, took out a stack of cash, more than ten thousand yuan, and there were clearly several more stacks inside.

Adam instantly furrowed his brows.

In recent years, after being marginalized and suppressed by the Hartleys, Trey and Gemma's lives were difficult. They hadn't received a penny from the Hartleys and barely made ends meet through their jobs. Trey, working as a security guard in a residential area, and Gemma struggling as well.

So, they had no savings, and even if they had money, Gemma controlled it. Trey wouldn't have the opportunity to carry so much cash with him.

So, where did Trey get this money?

Playing cards!

Adam immediately guessed the answer.

"Dad, about this money..."

"Here's three thousand, should be enough. Remember, don't tell your mom or Katie about today's events."

Trey took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Adam.

Adam quickly refused.

Trey directly threw the money into Adam's arms, saying impatiently, "Take it if I give it to you. Stop wasting words."

"Did you come by car? Take me home. No, first take me to the bank to get a card."

Adam quickly hailed a taxi.

His car had been in two accidents yesterday and had already been sent for repairs.

Trey was taken aback, sneered, "You finally returned the rented car? Stop pretending to be rich. Okay, I'll go home by myself, you go on with your business."

"Dad, I don't have much to do anyway. I'll take you."

He felt that Trey had been acting strangely lately, and with this much money of unclear origin, he was afraid Trey might get addicted to something. So, he wanted to follow and see. What if Trey didn't go home and instead went to gamble with someone else? Trey indeed impatiently said, "Why are you following me? I've stayed up all night and want to go home to sleep."

Seeing the flickering gaze of Trey, Adam knew he guessed right. However, he didn't plan to expose Trey; after all, his father also had his own business to consider.

"Dad, I'm worried about you carrying so much money alone. I'll take you home and leave."

"You're really a troublemaker!" Trey grumbled discontentedly and bent into the taxi.

They first found a nearby bank. After Trey entered and opened a bank account, depositing all the money, they returned to the car empty-handed.

On the way home in the taxi, when they reached the building and went upstairs, Trey couldn't help but say, "You don't need to come in. So Mom won't get angry when she sees you later."

Adam nodded and turned around to leave. At this moment, they heard some conversation inside the house.

"Sis, you promised me. You must get Katie to arrange a job for my daughter."

"Dear, rest assured. Katie is currently in charge of a project worth over a billion, and there are plenty of job opportunities under her. She'll definitely listen to me."

Adam paused. Guests at home? They also want Katie to arrange a job? And his mother-in-law has already agreed?

He shook his head. He knew such things were inevitable, and besides, Katie had plenty of job opportunities under her. It was normal to allocate one or two for their relatives. After all, it's better to keep the benefits within the family.

But the next second, the relative's words made Adam stunned.

"Sis, my daughter graduated from a prestigious university. You must make sure Katie arranges the best job for her, with a minimum annual salary of several hundred thousand."

"Also, the job shouldn't be too tiring. My daughter is used to a comfortable life and can't endure hardship."

"By the way, you can't let my daughter work on the construction site. Let Katie arrange a managerial position for her, just managing people is fine. Working on the construction site would make her tan, and it would be hard for her to find a boyfriend in the future." "Sister, are these demands too much?" Gemma hesitated for two seconds. "Too much? I haven't even asked Katie to arrange a special car for my daughter yet."

"And we need to find a good place to live, preferably one of those well-decorated, fully-equipped, move-in-ready places with good safety measures."

"Sis, I know a bit about your family's situation in recent years. I'm helping you because we're relatives. You better know how to appreciate it."

Hearing this, Adam raised an eyebrow and walked into the room.

He wanted to see who these heavenly relatives were, making such big demands while seeking help to find a job.
