Chapter 464

Of course.

She produced a contract and pen, prepared in advance.

Caleb read it carefully.

Hannah couldn't help speaking.

Sophia wouldn't trick you!

Marcus Lawrence shook his head.

A contract should always be read thoroughly.

Hannah quickly corrected herself.

I meant her terms are fair, but you should still read it.

Satisfied, Caleb signed his name solemnly.

He returned the contract to Sophia.

I won't let the lab lose money on me.

Sophia offered a faint smile.

I trust my judgment.

This was the second time she had helped him.

Caleb buried his gratitude deep inside.

He would repay her kindness with action.

His parents felt both grateful and guilty.

If not for this family's burdens, their son could have soared higher.

Mom, Dad, we have money now. Caleb smiled at his parents.

He finally believed knowledge could be converted into wealth.

His father was overjoyed.

His wife could get proper hospital care.

His daughter could receive a better education.

Though his legs were bad, he still had strength.

He could start a small business in the city.

Life finally held hope.

The only remaining concern was—

What about the cherry orchard on the back hill?

Alexander Laurent spoke up.

There are agri-companies that specialize in leasing land for orchards.

There's a large one right here in the Chongqing region.

Mr. Watson hesitated.

My plot is too small. Would they want it?

He knew such companies usually leased large tracts.

Alexander shook his head.

Cherries are different.

Local cherries can't withstand long-distance transport.

They must be sold locally.

A leasing company would definitely seek nearby orchards.

Alexander added,

If you're willing, I can help make the connection.

Mr. Watson nodded repeatedly.

Yes! Please! Thank you so much.

Alexander smiled.

It's nothing.

A major company like that wouldn't fear the Croix family.

The orchard would be preserved, providing a stable annual income.

It solved every problem perfectly.

Caleb's phone rang.

It was a new phone, bought for him from town that morning.

Dozens of missed calls flashed on the screen.

His social media was flooded with messages from Sophia and the others.

Caleb was deeply moved again.

He answered the call.

Whatever the speaker said made his eyes suddenly light up.

Really?!
