His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2174

Chapter 2174

The next morning, in the Raven family's apartment, Nadia looked at the feast on the table suspiciously and asked in confusion," Mom, is today a special occasion? Our breakfast has never been this hearty even during the new year!"

Mrs. Raven chuckled. "Your dad has agreed to work for Dean. They already signed the contract today, and he paid your dad this morning."

Nadia gaped at her father, surprised that her parents hadn't mentioned anything to her.

"Nadia, do you know how much Dean paid your dad? It's beyond your imagination. It's ten times more than what he got from Angela!" Mrs. Raven said joyously. "I made an appointment with a real estate agent to go house hunting later. We are going to move to a bigger house!"

"Dad, why would you work for Dean? Dean is a sick man. Didn't you say so yourself the last time his scandals came out? Have you forgotten about it?" Nadia was concerned that her father might have gotten himself involved with the wrong person, so she did not want him to work for Dean.

"Nadia, I told your dad to do so. Money is money. Your dad isn't the only one working for Dean Jennings! Your dad's former colleagues have all signed contracts with him..." Mrs. Raven raised her voice.

"Mom, what others are doing has nothing to do with us. Haven't you thought about what would happen if Dad fails to fulfill Dean's request? If my dad and his colleagues actually manage to recreate the device that brings the dead back to life, why bother working for Dean? Why not just take this deal to the wealthiest man on earth?"

Nadia's words had rendered Oliver speechless.

"Nadia, you are right, but I've already signed the contract and accepted Dean's payment, so there's no going back. He said that if we fail to fulfill our duty, all we need to do is return the money he paid us."

"If that's the case, give me your bank card. Do not spend a single penny inside it. If we use the money to buy a house right now, how are you supposed to pay him back in the future if he wants it back?" Nadia extended her hand toward her father.

Mrs. Raven hit Nadia's palm with her spoon. "Who are you to ask for your dad’s bank card? He has already given it to me! I trust your dad. He must have the confidence that he can do it to sign the contract." Mrs. Raven did not intend on handing the money to anyone else or to return it to Dean.

"Don't worry, Nadia. I've considered it. There shouldn't be any issue. There are things that are confidential, so I can’t exactly discuss it in detail with you," Oliver consoled her. "Your mom has been wanting to move to a bigger house for a long time now, so just let her be! If you have the time, you should go with her."

"I'm not going." Nadia took a bite of her bread and changed the subject. "Auntie introduced a guy to me, remember? That guy is here in Bridgedale."

Mrs. Raven clicked her tongue. "That old bag must have lost her mind! She must look down on us to introduce you to a man who doesn't even have a proper job. Didn't I tell you to ignore them? You are going to be a doctor in the future. How can you associate yourself with some strange guy?"

"Don't get so worked up, my dear. She told me that this guy she introduced to Nadia is exceptionally good-looking. His parents come from a proper background as well with a considerable amount of retirement pension. Since Nadia is already in contact with this young man, it means that at least he isn't that bad of a person. They are just going on dates. It's not like they are getting married. Let’s leave them be."

Oliver had always been rather forgiving with his daughter.

Nadia looked like a typical good girl and usually, women who looked like her would likely be more passive, but Nadia was different.

She had a strong opinion and her parents had never had to worry about her since she was young.

"Don't worry about me. Even if that guy turns out to be horrible, he can't be worse than Dean Jennings," Nadia said, before swiftly finishing her bread. She took a sip of water, grabbed her bag, and strode toward the door to change her shoes.

"Nadia, if you are meeting with that guy, make sure you meet with him during the daytime. It's not safe to meet at night! You better get your brother to go with you, too," Oliver shouted.
