Jane Sampson was truly dumbfounded by this.

If it weren’t for James Black discovering this information, otherwise, with her small head, she would never have thought it was because David Chip was kidnapped. "800 million, these kidnappers really dare to ask." Jane Sampson counted on her fingers, "Ten hundred thousand, ten thousand hundred thousand... 80 million and 800 million, no wonder the Chip Family was so quick to give 80 million."

"It’s 800 million and David Chip’s life." James Black tapped Jane Sampson on the forehead, "The Chip Family has been passed down from generation to generation. If David Chip dies, the Chip Family lineage would end."

So, let alone 800 million, even if it was 1.8 billion, as long as the Chip Family could afford it, they wouldn’t bat an eye.

"No wonder the Chip Family had no mind to worry about things on the internet realm," Jane Sampson said after hearing this, pulled the quilt up and lay back down again.

James Black stood next to her and glanced at her, once again reached out to pull her quilt, then directly lifted her off from the bed, carried her all the way to the bathroom, and only then put her down.

Seeing Jane Sampson angrily staring at him, James Black said nothing, squeezed some toothpaste for her, placed the toothbrush in her palm, "Wash up and change clothes, I’m giving you 15 minutes."

After saying that, he walked out of the bathroom.

Jane Sampson stomped her feet lightly in the bathroom, rolling her eyes out of frustration.

"When you first arrived those two days, you were eager to pick stars from the sky for someone, after several days, you became annoying like a disliked dog, and if I stay in bed for a while longer, I become an eyesore," Jane Sampson muttered, "Indeed, distance brings beauty."

In the bedroom, James Black heard every word clearly, and couldn’t help but curl the corner of his mouth helplessly, truly finding her laziness amusing.

After washing up, Jane Sampson was reluctantly led out by James Black. Don’t be fooled by the old almanac saying it’s spring, but early in the morning, the wind was truly chilly. Jane Sampson put on the hood of her down jacket, hid her whole head inside, and walked with her head down, direction entirely controlled by James Black leading the way.

James Black never noticed before that Jane Sampson was so afraid of the cold. During the snowy days, her heart would have been longing to play in the snow outdoors. "Watch your step," James Black tugged her hood backward slightly, "The more pampered, the less disciplined."

Jane Sampson wrinkled her nose and lightly hummed in dissatisfaction, so she didn’t interact with James Black at all along the way, until they entered the dining hall, warm air rushed over, and suddenly, she felt alive again.

Taking off her hood, Jane Sampson cheerfully greeted the group of lovely team members, then took a tray and lined up behind them, waiting to serve herself some meal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In front, Mair Williams, standing next to Liam Woody, waved a hand to Jane Sampson, "Let’s sit together later."

Mair Williams, in a low voice, said to Jane Sampson and pointed to an empty spot over there.

Jane Sampson understood, nodded, and turned her head around searching for James Black, finally seeing him at the entrance talking to Peter Gingery.

Not sure what the two were discussing, Jane Sampson had already prepared breakfast for James Black and was sitting next to Mair Williams and Liam Woody waiting. After quite a while, James Black finished talking with Peter Gingery, and Peter Gingery turned around and walked out of the dining hall.

"James Black! Over here! I’ve prepared breakfast for you!" Jane Sampson, seeing that James Black finally finished talking with Peter Gingery, quickly stood up and greeted the searching James Black, and only after James Black strode towards them did she sit down.
