Paying The Ransom For Freeing Blanca
“Without further ado, let’s discuss it! Freud, please show off the screen!” said Lorenzo. He asked one of the waiters for help there.
Not long after, the screen appeared, showing the title of the presentation. “Dinner for freeing Blanca.”
At this time, Lorenzo’s mother frowned because she was confused. “Free?! What do you mean?”
Meanwhile, Blanca’s eyes lit up. There was a look of happiness in Blanca’s eyes.
Blanca was very happy that the day she had been dreaming of all this time was going to happen. All this time, she has hoped so much to be free, but she doesn’t know how.
“I want to free Blanca. I want to pay the bet for Blanca,” replied Lorenzo.
“Bet?” asked Lorenzo’s mother. She pretended that she didn’t know what she was talking about.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Yes.” Lorenzo nodded his head.
“Like you said yesterday, Blanca is a betting item. So, I wanted to know the amount and set her free.” Lorenzo made his point clear.
“How much?” asked Lorenzo.
“Please, tell me!” Lorenzo demanded.
The eyes of Lorenzo’s mother looked left and right. She tried to find an answer.
After a while, she came up with an idea. So she quickly tried to refute him.
“Ah! No. It was just a joke.”
Getting that reaction, Blanca immediately looked into Lorenzo’s mother’s eyes in confusion. A frown appeared on her forehead.
Blanca asked in her heart. “Joke?! So, all this time, she’s been treating me as a joke?”
“How can she be like that? How can she do that?”
“Why is she lying now?”
Receiving an interrogating look from Blanca, Lorenzo’s mother gave her an intimidating look as if she were threatening Blanca to talk about everything and forcing Blanca to agree. Because of this, Blanca immediately said.
“Yeah. It was just a joke.”
Lorenzo, who saw all this, immediately wanted to laugh because he found it funny. He couldn’t get over the fact that Blanca and Lorenzo’s mother were still lying.
He intended to laugh inwardly, but he couldn’t help it. So he laughed out loud.
“You think I don’t know the truth? I know everything,” said Lorenzo.
“What do you know?” asked Lorenzo’s mother.
“Well! Just move to the next slide!”
Lorenzo clicked the button, and the slide moved to the next slide. The next slide showed some simple data about the gambling problem. Then he clicked on the next slide again for a video of Blanca’s father losing the gamble and Blanca having to be the betting item.
Upon seeing this, Lorenzo’s mother’s eyes bulged. She kicked the table and stood up.
“What the hell are you doing this for, Lorenzo? What do you mean?”
“Do you intend to embarrass me here? Is that so?” Lorenzo’s mother asked with emotion.
“The fact is, what the hell is with your attitude? What do you think Blanca is? Do you think Blanca is only a thing or a doll that you can do or play as you wish?” Lorenzo’s question that his mother didn’t answer.
“So, now just tell me how much I have to pay!” Lorenzo asked sternly.
“You won’t be able to pay it, and you won’t be able to pay it ever, Lorenzo,” Lorenzo’s mother said.
“Ah! Don’t talk too much! Just tell me!” Lorenzo asked.
“What do you mean by your attitude now? Do you intend to shame me now? Is that it?”
Lorenzo’s mother asked the reason for Lorenzo’s actions. Lorenzo laughed at his mother’s panicked behavior.
“No one is being shamed here. Everyone here knows the facts.” Lorenzo’s words made Lorenzo’s mother turn pale and sit down with a limp.
“So, hurry up! Please, tell me how much!” Lorenzo asked.
“I’ll pay it no matter how expensive it is.” Lorenzo’s words made his mother immediately tell him the amount that he had to pay. Hearing the amount, Lorenzo laughed in his heart.
“It’s true what I said. The amount of money I have to pay to free Blanca is the maximum price I guessed yesterday.”
After that, his mother said, “Are you willing to pay that much, and can you pay that much? You can’t, right?”
“No, I can. I am willing, and I’ll pay it.”
“You’re crazy, Lorenzo!” Lorenzo’s mother taunted.
“Just for a woman like her, you will pay that much?” asked Lorenzo’s mother in shock.
“What’s your account number?”
Lorenzo immediately took out his phone and asked for his mother’s account number. After that, his mother told him her account number.
“Okay. I’ll transfer it after you sign it!” said Lorenzo as he signed the agreement.
In that agreement, there are some articles. One of an article states that from that day on, Blanca is free because she has been bailed out by Lorenzo.
Upon hearing this, Lorenzo’s mother immediately signed as the Sans’ family. Likewise, Blanca also signed the agreement.
After that, Lorenzo’s mother asked, “When will you send me the money?”
“Please wait!” Lorenzo immediately transferred the amount that his mother had requested to her account.
Not long after, the money transfer was successful, as he said. “The transfer has been successful.”
Lorenzo immediately screenshotted the proof and sent it to his mother’s phone. After that, he said, “I have sent the proof, Mom!”
“Okay. Thank you!”
By paying to free Blanca, it means that from that time on, Blanca is free and the previous agreement is no longer valid. In gratitude, Lorenzo immediately made up his mind to have a dinner party.
He looked at the clock. It was 8:45 p. m..
Lorenzo immediately asked. “Where are you going after this?”
“Why?” asked Lorenzo’s mother in confusion while she frowned.
“I want to have a dinner party to show my gratitude now that Blanca is finally free. You can attend if you like.”
“I’m not going anywhere after this, Lorenzo. I’ll join you for the dinner party.”
“Okay!” Lorenzo immediately called the waiter. “Freud!”
Freud immediately walked closer to him. After that, he said. “Please prepare three courses for the three people here and a bottle of wine!”
“Which one do you want?” Freud offered some menus.
After that, Lorenzo looked at it and chose the most suitable menu for their family. “Just this one!”
“Okay. Please wait!” Freud nodded his head and walked away.
