Chapter 177 Celebrating the New Year

Chapter 177 Celebrating the New Year

The whole city had a convivial holiday atmosphere. On the top of a high-rise building with more than 30 floors, Symon sat on the edge of the wall with his legs dangling over the side. But he seemed to be unaware of the risk of falling.

He saw the fireworks exploding in the sky, holding the sparklers given by Nancy. Then he took out a lighter from his trouser pocket and lit a sparkler.

After a while, the sparkler started to burn with many bright sparks and thin wisps of smoke. He stared at the sparkler without blinking and a smile lifted the corner of his mouth.

This time he wore a sincere smile rather than a reluctant one.

In the darkness, the brightest things were the sparks emitting from the sparkler. He thought the tiny sparks were more beautiful than the fireworks that lit up the whole sky.

When the sparkler in his hand was about to burn out, Symon lit another one.

He lit one after another until he had no more sparklers. The small sparks and flames soon disappeared. He stood up on the wall. If anyone saw him during the day, he would be frightened by Symon's bold moves. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Happy New Year!"

He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted to the sky. Then he jumped off the wall and turned to look at the little boy standing in the corner. The glimmer of a smile in his eyes faded.

"What are you doing here?"

The boy in the dark glanced at Symon nervously, but he still mustered up his courage.

"Symon, it's time to have a meal."

Symon mumbled a response. He looked abnormally pale at night. He was in bad health because he was abused in his early years. Even now, he still had various health problems and failed to fully recover. But he also didn't care about his health.

Symon walked downstairs slowly. The little boy was scared and nervous, but he still followed up.

The little boy was named Sean Collins. He witnessed Symon kill his father, but he would neither call the police nor take revenge. He was grateful to Symon instead, so he left his terrible family and followed Symon.

Symon was indifferent to Sean, but he didn't drive Sean away. He even provided shelter and food for Sean and enabled him to read books and study.

Recently, Sean thought he had been living the most stable and best life. While sleeping, he needn't worry that his hair would be tugged and he would be beaten. He also needed no worry about food and even avenged his mother's death. It was good.

Sean caught up with Symon with a smile.

To others, Symon might be a demon. But to Sean, he was the savior of Sean's life.

In the villa of the Brook family...

The night was deep and silence reigned. Nancy washed her face, brushed her teeth, and also had a foot bath. She ran to her room in slippers, holding all the lucky money she got today. She threw all the money on the bed and climbed into bed after taking off her slippers.

She gathered all the money together, her eyes gleaming with joy.

She was going to count money!

Nancy's father and elder brothers usually transferred lots of money to her bank account as her pocket money. But this money was only a number for Nancy. It would be more fun to count the money in person.

Nancy cocked her toes merrily and piled the lucky money together into a thick wad.

After all the money was piled up, there were lots of wads on the bed. Nancy looked at them with delight.

She remembered that the children in the Stream Village would find who got the most money every time they returned from sending New Year's Greetings. Then the child with the most money would win other kids' admiration.

In the past, Nancy always envied other children during each New Year Holiday, but now she didn't need to be jealous. The lucky money she got today was more than the total amount of money those children received over the past few years.

Nancy mumbled to herself happily and began to count the money.

"One, two, three..."

Nancy kept counting carefully. For the fear of miscounting, she would put ten pieces of money aside when she counted to ten. Then she counted from 1 again.

Her concentration made her look cute.

When Marcus and Nancy's other elder brothers came over, they saw Nancy counting her lucky money seriously. They couldn't help laughing.

They knew Nancy must be counting her money now, so they came over to have a look. Nancy was so lovely when she focused on counting money. Unlike her, Adam acted strangely.

Adam would throw all the money into the sky to make it rain. Then he would laugh wildly with his hands on his hips. How stupid he was!

Nancy found her elder brothers standing at the door of her room. They had different upright postures, but all of them were smiling. Nancy also gave them a bright and sweet smile.

That smile was so sweet that it melted their hearts!

"Marcus, can I afford a farm now?"

Nancy kept thinking about buying a farm, so she had been saving money for some time. Since she had received so much lucky money, she asked with anticipation.

Marcus was a little surprised.

"Do you want to buy a farm?"

Nancy nodded, "Yes. I want to buy a big farm where I can plant a lot of fruit trees and raise a lot of animals!"

Marcus looked at the money she got and nodded, "Well, you can afford it now."

He would buy it for Nancy even if she didn't have enough money.

"I will give you all my money. Help me buy a farm."

Nancy stuffed all the lucky money into Marcus' arms and then took out her deposit card from her backpack.

"I have much more money in my bank account."

Marcus wanted to buy Nancy a farm and didn't take the card.

"I can purchase a farm for you as a gift."

Nancy pouted reproachfully, "If so, you will go bankrupt. I have enough money to buy it myself. I can support your life after buying a farm."

Her eyes fell on the money in Marcus' arms. She thought of her grandmother who liked saving money. The money she had might exceed that saved by her grandmother during her lifetime. She didn't know how much it would cost to buy a farm. But she thought her money was enough.

If Grandma were alive, she would be delighted to see so much money, Nancy thought sadly.

"Marcus, are you about to go bankrupt?"

Martin couldn't help bursting into laughter. Only Louis knew why Nancy would say these words. The rest of the people here looked at Marcus in shock, as if the end of the world was coming.

They couldn't believe that Marcus would be bankrupt. It was impossible!

Marcus didn't know how to explain.

He stared at Nancy deeply and said seriously, "I won't go bankrupt."

Nancy blinked her eyes, "Ok."

There was a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Marcus gave Louis an icy gaze and thought it was all Louis' fault.

Louis stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked up to avoid Marcus' gaze.

Nancy insisted on buying a farm with her own money. Marcus accepted her money after some hesitation.

He thought Nancy was still young and the lucky money was too much for her. Buying a farm was also a kind of investment.

So he decided to fulfill Nancy's needs and would make up for the gap if her money wasn't enough to buy a farm.

After Nancy's elder brothers all left, she still carried her little backpack. She suddenly changed from a wealthy girl to a poor one, but she had no regrets.

Nancy was happy at the thought of owning a farm.

She kept rolling merrily on the bed. She didn't stop until her hair was a real mess.

She also felt sleepy.

Her eyes immediately became watery from yawning.

She put her backpack aside. Then she burrowed into the covers with her eyes narrowing lazily and her cheeks puffing out.

She rubbed her face against a soft pillow and closed her eyes. Soon she fell asleep and might have been dreaming. It must be a good dream because a lovely smile lifted the corner of her mouth.
