Chapter 46
Night.
Louis visited Mary's home.
It had to be said that Mary's home was indeed a bit small and simple, but it had everything it should have, and the environment also looked quite warm.
"Mary, do you want to be with Frank or your grandmother?"
Mary lowered her head and grabbed the Lego figure. "Frank."
She gave her reason.
"When I wasn't a genius, Grandma never appeared."
Louis nodded, his face showing appreciation. Mary, this child, although a bit young and not good at socializing, was indeed smart. Perhaps this is what a genius is.
At this time, the driver walked in and nodded to Louis.
Louis knew it in his heart. It seemed things were done.
As for what they did?
Come on, they are a gangster family. What good things can they do!
Of course, it was castration!
Since it was decided that Mary wanted to be in Frank's house, let's deal with it as soon as possible.
Louis came outside. At this time, Frank was arguing with his lawyer.
The lawyer had no confidence in winning this lawsuit, and the other side was also worried about losing. So they felt that according to the Children's Association specialist, they should compromise and find a foster family with a better environment and love for Mary, which would be good.
"Frank, do you think you can really bring a good life to Mary?"
Frank's mouth was a bit bitter.
"Cough, cough, I think Mary is very happy now. Since that's the case, it shows that Frank is doing very well in some aspects." Louis walked over with a drink and said to Frank, who looked a bit like Captain America.
Seeing Louis, Frank squeezed out a smile. He was very grateful to this child, ever since the kidnapping case.
But the black lawyer beside him felt a bit helpless. How could such a thing be as simple as the child said.
"Child, the adult world is very complicated. It's not enough to just feel happy."
"Oh, of course, I know, so I came to provide help." Louis smiled and threw a black card inlaid with a circle of gold patterns to Frank.
"There are about 500,000 in here, enough for you to provide a sufficiently good living environment for Mary. With this money, you can change to a house, buy a piano, buy a computer. With your knowledge as a university assistant, it should be enough to teach Mary. So, you won't lose."
This is the power of money!
The black lawyer's eyes were almost popping out. 500,000 US dollars???
Frank looked at the card in his hand, also full of disbelief. He had also mixed in the upper-class society and recognized this card. It was impossible to get it without hundreds of thousands of US dollars, so it was true!
Then the question is, who exactly is the boy in front of him?
Why did he want to do this?
"Why?"
Louis took a sip of the drink, feeling the sweet and greasy taste in his mouth, and couldn't help but frown. "Just consider it as me investing in Mary's future."
"Doesn't that sound more reasonable?"
Frank was silent.
After a moment, he gripped the card tightly. Obviously, he had made a decision.
"No matter what you are doing this for, I am sincerely grateful to you. If there is anything I can do, you can just say it."
"Oh, is that so? Then I have some questions to ask you."
"Why do you think Mary shouldn't go to the Oak Genius Academy?"
"Because of some things about her mother." Frank told the story of Mary's mother.
Louis nodded. It was roughly that he wanted Mary to have a happy life without control.
"Although I don't agree with your mother, that is, the lady who talks about leading human progress, she is right about one thing: can Mary really be happy staying in an unsuitable environment for a long time?"
Frank sighed.
"Actually, you can change your thinking and provide her with love and freedom at the same time. What if you let her go to the Genius Academy? With you accompanying her, I believe you won't be like your mother, right?" Louis said as much.
Frank was stunned. Louis's words were like a head-on blow, waking him up.
He is not his mother... definitely not...
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I have to go back after dealing with the things here. I hope you can be a bit more efficient."
Looking at Louis's back, Frank was a bit dazed. Who exactly was the other party?
He didn't look like a child at all.
However, he is a good person~
With the financial support of Louis, Frank showed his financial resources in court the next day and expressed his willingness to send the child to a better school, allowing her to receive an education level that matches her talent.
This caught Evelyn off guard.
Things reached this point, and there was no suspense. The judge announced that Frank still had custody, but the Children's Association must visit every month to ensure that Frank did not let the child watch fighting matches again.
In addition, Evelyn's visitation rights remained unchanged.
The trial ended.
However, Evelyn still chased out. "Frank! Frank!"
"I don't know where you got so much money, but I must say one thing: hand the child to me, and I can let her walk on a more successful path. Yes, you might have some money now, but you can't find the way. I can send Mary to MIT!"
"No, Mother. Just like you gave up on me without hesitation back then, are you really good to Mary? Aren't you using her as a tool?"
"No! How can you say that? She is my granddaughter, I..."
Seeing that his mother was still pestering, Frank simply said, "Follow me."
Soon, Frank moved a box out of his room. "See for yourself."
Evelyn looked through it. It was full of drafts, written with calculation processes.
"This, what is this?" Her voice was trembling.
"You know, this is what you've longed for all your life—fame and fortune, leaving your name in the world."
"No, you couldn't calculate..."
"Of course not me, it's Diane. This is her legacy. *Before she died, she had already calculated it."
"Then, why?"
"She let me publish it after she died."
Evelyn looked at him suspiciously. Frank sighed.
"After you die."
!!!
Like a thunderbolt.
Daughter... actually hated herself so much...
"I shouldn't have taken it out, but if I use this thing to exchange for Mary's unrestricted future, I think Diane would agree. Now, these things are yours. Go maintain and publish them."
Evelyn opened her mouth several times, her eyes red, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She was really sad, although she had been strictly treating Diane, and even more so, she had treated Diane as the carrier of her dreams.
But at the same time, it also carried love, but this love was perhaps not so pure...
After trembling several times, she still picked up those manuscripts.
Now, she only had these left...
Just.
She suddenly looked at Frank, who was about to leave.
"Frank, I know I might not be a qualified mother in your eyes."
"Yes, not." Frank said without hesitation.
Evelyn stiffened, but continued to say, "But I have something to give you. It's a very magical thing."
Before Frank could speak, her face became extremely serious.
"Listen to me, I don't have Alzheimer's, nor am I talking nonsense. I found a cabinet, and it can steal time."
"Even ordinary people, as long as they have this cabinet, can become geniuses in reality through hard work."
"But this is just a waste. The real use is for geniuses to use. Their efficiency will far exceed ordinary people."
"I didn't lie to you. After I go back, I will transport it over. Whether you use it or not is up to you. This can also be considered the legacy of love shown by me, this grandmother."
"Frank... I really love you..."
Evelyn cried bitterly.
But Frank just took a deep breath and walked out.
Now, he needs to be quiet.
