Mr. Simpson's expression relaxed when he heard what I said, as if he was satisfied with my words. He looked at Jeremiah and scoffed. "I'll do this young lady a favor and let you two in as well."

It felt like she expected Mr. Simpson to agree to their offer out of pity.
However, it didn't work on Mr. Simpson at all. He scoffed when he saw the look on Elsa's face. He turned around and faced Jeremiah before asking cockily, "Do you think I'm that hungry for money? How shallow!" Then, he turned around and looked at me. "What about you? What do you have to say to me?" I chuckled and put the food container on the table. Then, I poured him a bowl of stew as he watched. "I'm going to guess that you still haven't eaten anything at this tof day, Mr. Simpson. I made this pork stew. Have some, please."

At the next moment, Mr. Simpson said, "You guys can leave now." He pointed atand added, "You're staying."
