Chapter 1420: 1419 took the money before giving it to someone
Tan Rou remained silent, and Princess Samiyi continued to ask, “Miss Tan Rou, have you seen Ajila? Is he inside the royal city? Is he doing well?”
In response to Samiyi’s inquiry, Tan Rou only wished to keep silent. Although today her purpose was to help Kas and Ajila exchange messages, deep down in her heart, she still felt both Kas and Samiyi were extremely incompetent.
Princess Samiyi was very anxious. She lowered her voice and kept saying, “Miss Tan Rou, please tell me where Ajila is. He has been missing for many days now, and I miss him terribly.”
Tan Rou sneered, “If you really missed him, why didn’t you go look for him? I guess you’re going to say you have your difficulties, but Ajila is your child, not even ten years old. Are you really at ease letting a child stay out there alone? Do you know where he ran off to? He ran to a foreign airport far from Country J, over six thousand kilometers from here. You’ve never been there, but he has.”
Princess Samiyi said with a face full of sorrow, “I thought that if he went out, he would definitely look for his father…”
The gardener who had been helping her exchange messages with Kas had not been in the palace lately, leaving Samiyi no one else to help her pass on messages. She didn’t dare to use a mobile phone to contact Kas, so all she could do was silently pray in her heart that Ajila had gone to find Kas.
When Tan Rou told her Ajila had run off to a foreign airport, Samiyi’s mind buzzed as if someone had struck her head hard with a stick.
“I’m sorry, Ajila…” Samiyi covered her face, “It’s Mommy’s fault, I failed to protect you properly, I’m sorry!”
“Don’t cry now, there are so many maids watching. If they think I bullied you and made you cry, then have me arrested, what would I do?” Tan Rou said, “Also, you wouldn’t want Ajila’s situation to be known by others, right?”
Samiyi rubbed her eyes and returned to her previous composure before asking, “Where is Ajila?”
“I brought him back,” said Tan Rou. “It was quite a coincidence, Ajila was running around in the airport when he bumped into our team. I talked to him more when I heard him speak the language of Country J. I didn’t expect that he had already spent many days at that airport, sleeping poorly and barely eating, like a little vagrant.”
Samiyi’s eyes brimmed with tears again, “I shouldn’t have lost him.”
Tan Rou continued to fabricate her story, “I felt such a young child couldn’t stay there, so I found the police, hoping they could help him find his family. Guess what the local police said? They said that without any identification and not being a national of their country, they were not going to get involved. Since the child liked wandering in the airport, they might as well just let him stay there.”
Very anxiously, Samiyi asked, “Then how did you bring him back?”
Tan Rou made a gesture representing money and said, “200,000 US dollars. They asked me for 200,000 US dollars, otherwise, they wouldn’t let me take the child. I felt so sorry for the child staying there that I spent 200,000 US dollars to bring him back.” She intended to ask for more money since she had gone to great lengths to bring Ajila back.
To Princess Samiyi, 100,000 US dollars wasn’t a lot, but she had a spending limit. Once it exceeded 5,000 US dollars, she would need the King’s approval.
“Can I pay in installments?” Samiyi suggested to give Tan Rou a lump sum, “I will pay you back 5,000 US dollars each month, is that okay?”
“And how long will that take?” Tan Rou was very dissatisfied with this proposal, “Your Highness, don’t you want to see your son? I don’t believe that you, as a princess, cannot afford 200,000 US dollars.”
Samiyi could come up with the money; it was just that she couldn’t let the King know about this expenditure, which is why she proposed installment payments.
“Let’s do this,” Tan Rou changed her approach, “Ajila is the child of you and Mr. Kas, so I can’t just ask you for money. Just give me 100,000 US dollars. I will ask Mr. Kas for the rest.”
Princess Samiyi still had some doubts, worried that Tan Rou might deceive her, but when Tan Rou mentioned Kas, she became thoroughly convinced that Tan Rou truly knew where Ajila was.
