I Returned to the Day He Brought His First Love Home-Chapter 100: You Repay Kindness with Enmity?

"Alright, I’ll go home and discuss it with your sister-in-law. But we don’t have any money. We even borrowed three hundred from you before for my father-in-law’s medical bills." Nolan Winslow nodded, then hesitated.

Money was the biggest problem.

’He couldn’t possibly let Grace put up all the money and effort for his business, could he?’

’As her older brother, he just couldn’t bring himself to do something like that.’

"Don’t worry about the money. I can lend it to you. Or, if you feel bad about using my money to start a business, you can just consider it my investment."

"Once you start making money, you can just give me a share of the profits each month."

Grace waved her hand, not at all concerned.

’She had quite a bit of money on hand now.’

’The cash she’d received alone already amounted to over three thousand.’

’When she got paid next month, she estimated she’d get another one or two thousand.’

’After all, she had provided dozens of designs, and the total number of garments sold had long since surpassed one hundred thousand pieces.’

’She still had some designs on hand. After the college entrance exams were over, she could contact Dylan Lockwood and sell them directly to him for a higher price.’

Nolan Winslow and Brandon Winslow looked at each other, neither making an immediate decision.

Grace wasn’t in a hurry. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

She pulled her two brothers inside, chatting and laughing.

None of the three noticed a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring intently at Grace. The person watched until she went inside, then counted the floors to confirm her exact location before turning and disappearing into the night.

Grace rested at home for a day, then rode her bike back to the factory early the next morning.

She had just gotten back to her office when Oscar Osborne sent someone to call for her.

"Grace, HAHAHA, you really are my lucky star! Since you came to our factory, our profits have increased several times over these past few months."

"At the end-of-year review, the factory is selecting outstanding employees and model workers, and I’ve submitted your name for both. You’re sure to be chosen." Oscar Osborne couldn’t stop smiling as he looked at Grace.

The more he looked at Grace, the more pleased he was. "Grace, would you be willing to accept me as your godfather? I’ll go talk to your dad about it personally later."

"Huh?" Grace was stunned by his proposal.

Oscar Osborne couldn’t help but sigh. "I have three good-for-nothing sons at home, and they’re all married. If they weren’t, I’d want you as a daughter-in-law."

"That’s... not necessary." Grace broke out in a cold sweat.

’Talk about repaying kindness with malice.’

’She’d kindly helped the factory boost its profits, and in return, Oscar Osborne was actually trying to trap her in the tomb of marriage *again*?’

"Um, Mr. Osborne, you didn’t call me here just to talk about this, did you? Is there no other business?" Seeing that Oscar Osborne was about to continue, Grace quickly interrupted him.

Oscar Osborne slapped his forehead and couldn’t help but laugh. "Look at me, getting sidetracked again."

"Here’s the thing. For those autumn jackets you designed on short notice, since the price is higher than a standard dress, your design fee and commission have also been increased."

"This came directly from the Commercial Bureau—they called personally. It’s not me pulling strings for you."

"I’m giving you a heads-up. The money will be paid out with your salary."

"Also, Grace, you’re a very promising young woman. I know a small factory like ours can’t hold you back. I’ve received the latest news—the college entrance exams are expected to be reinstated in December. That’s less than two months away. If you’re interested, you can start preparing in advance."

After he finished speaking, Oscar Osborne looked at Grace with deep meaning.

Grace had known about this for a long time, so she appeared very calm.

Oscar Osborne narrowed his eyes, his esteem for Grace growing even more.

As soon as he got off work, he would go find Gregory Winslow. He absolutely had to make her his goddaughter.
