Chapter 1223
When Arielle was about to explain the situation, Jason suddenly interrupted, “Wait, Father Moses is
coming over.”
When Jason saw Moses, he immediately got rid of his celebrity stature and greeted him humbly.
“Father” Jason greeted respectfully.
Arielle turned toward the white-haired priest and greeted, “Hello, Father Moses.”
Moses was wearing a black robe and looked rather stern.
With just a glance, Arielle noticed the robe was rather seasoned and worn. It was full of mended
patches and even had a hole in the collar.
It seems like life is tough here. Arielle was puzzled. Jason is a celebrity, and he could easily get
endorsements worth ten million. Why can’t he just donate some of his money? I’m sure he gets such
good deals all the time.
While Arielle was still puzzled, she saw the priest’s expression darkened. “Why are you here? Didn’t I
ask you not to visit here a few days ago? You’re an adult now, so you’re no longer associated with the
orphanage. You shouldn’t come back here anymore. Why are you here again?” Moses asked.
While he was saying that, he waved his hands and chased Arielle and Jason out without considering
Jason’s feelings.
Jason was unperturbed. He frowned and asked, “Father, didn’t I wire you some money a few days
ago? Why didn’t you buy some new clothes for the kids and yourself? Why are you guys still wearing
those old clothes?”
“Oh, I’ve almost forgotten about that.” Moses whipped out an ATM card and shoved it into Jason’s
palm. “You’ve wired a total of twenty million. It’s all in there. Take it! The password is your birthday.
Don’t ever come back again!”
Since it was unlikely for the orphans to know their birthdays, the priest had given them theirs based on
the day they arrived at the orphanage.
Upon hearing that, the smile on Jason’s face froze.
“Why?” Jason asked in despair. “You’re the person who raised me. Now that I’m making money, why
can’t you just accept my help? Why do you treat me like I’m an outsider?”
“This is God’s will. God wanted me to raise you. Now that you are all grown up, my responsibility has
ended. Besides, you don’t have to help me anymore.”
“God’s will? Hang that! All I know is that you’re my only relative! Now, my only relative doesn’t even
want my help, although your life is tough! Is that what God wants?” Jason was so loud that he had
frightened the kids in the backyard. All of them had turned toward him.
A few of them who could walk properly ran toward Jason and hugged his legs. “Mr. Jason.”
Seeing that, Arielle could tell that the children liked Jason a lot.
She shifted her gaze toward the priest and hesitated for a few seconds before saying to Jason, “Jason,
take the ATM card.”
Jason was just about to turn the priest down. However, he changed his mind after seeing the look in
Arielles eyes. He then took the ATM card from the priest.
“Father Moses.” Arielle smiled widely. “Although I’ve never been religious, I have respect for your belier.
Would you mind sparing me two minutes of your time? I’d like to have a private conversation with you.”
Moses gazed at her, After a few seconds, he nodded. “Alright.”
