Chapter 377 Hoping to prevent the challenge from happening , Hailey came to Declan and said , Declan , you dont need to take up the challenge .

Youll get hurt .

If you need money .

Lean Declan shot Hailey a glare , and she immediately stopped talking .

She did not mean to insult him she just didnt want him to get hurt .

Turning to the head contractor , Declan informed , We can begin .

One by one , the head contractor placed bags of cement over Declans shoulders .

Soon , there were eight bags on Declan .

Then , the head contractor placed the ninth and tenth bags over Declans shoulders , Ewan clapped , deeply engrossed in the performance I never knew youd work so hard for money .

Heres one thousand … Two thousand … said Ewan as he threw two thousand dollars onto the ground As the head contractor added the two more bags , Ewan threw more money onto the ground .

Three thousand … Four thousand … Declans face was expressionless despite carrying 12 cement bags over his shoulders .

However , beads of wat could be seen rolling down his forehead .

Even his uniform was soaked in his sweat Hailey desperately wanted to put an end to the challenge , but anything she said at that point would come out wrong .

Thus , she could only watch in silence The head contractor could not bear to put another bag of coment over Declans shoulders , for the latter was around his sons age .

Declan , just let me know if you cant take anymore .

But since Declan said nothing , the head contractor had no choice but to continue adding two more bags .

Five thousand … Six thousand Ewan had thrown six thousand dollars onto the ground .

Hailey watched Declan with worry .

She knew he was a man with a proud spirit , but his back was already bending from the 14, cement bags Looking at Ewan , Hailey begged , Thats enough , Ewan .

Stop it already .

Just then , Declans phone rang , and the head contractor immediately said , Declan , lets end this here .

Youve got a call .

Upon hearing that , Declan sent the 14 bags of cement to their designated location before returning to the crowd Glancing at the money on the ground , Ewan said , Theres your money , Declan .

You earned it .

Declan lowered his gaze and reached out to pick up the money .

However , a pair of fair , dainty hands got to them before him .

Crouching , Halley picked up the money and dusted it before shoving it into Declans hands .

All six thousand dollars are here .

Declan met Haileys eyes and took the money .

He then cast Ewan a cold gaze .

Thank you , Mr.

If youre in the mood to bully someone using money next time , you can call me .

Id be happy to play with you .

Ewan shot to us feel .

You ! He did not expect Declan to be so casual about it instead of feeling inferior .

Declan pulled out his phone to find out it was his mother calling him .

However , instead of hearing his mothers voice , he heard Aileens voice when he A flustered Aileen cried , Declan , what do we do ? Something happened to Mom .

Declan tensed What happened to Mom , Aileen ? Calm down and tell me what happened .

Mom suddenly fainted today .

Our neighbor and I brought her to the hospital , but the staff here says we need to send her to the general hospital to do a full body checkups Wheres the general hospital , Declan ? Im scared … Aileen was only a girl in her third year of junior high school .

Naturally , she panicked when it came to emergencies like that .

Gripping the phone , Declan said , Aileen , Pm coming over now .
