Chapter 19
Early in the morning, Clayton visited one of his neighbors.
Knock knock!
Moments later, the door opened, revealing a young girl with an innocent and pretty face.
Clayton offered a friendly smile. "Morning, Liora. Is your father home?"
"Y-yes, good morning... He's here. Please wait, I'll get him." Liora looked a bit flustered. She still wasn't used to Clayton's polite demeanor.
A few moments later, she returned with a warm, humble-looking middle-aged man.
"Morning, Uncle Lorenzo. Sorry to bother you so early," Clayton said respectfully.
"Oh no, not at all. You're not bothering me. What brings you here, Clayton? Is something wrong?"
"No, Uncle. I'm here to return the money I borrowed." Clayton handed him a bag.
Lorenzo paused, then opened the bag. His eyes widened in shock at the contents.
"Clayton... are you sure this isn't a mistake? These are worth far more than what you borrowed."
