Chapter 1224 Reason

The two of them arrived in a quiet room.

The setting in the room was very simple. It had mattresses for the kids and some daily necessities. The room was kept spotless and tidy.

It was obvious that Moses emphasized on the children’s self-discipline.

“Father Moses-”

Before Arielle could finish her sentence, Moses raised his hand and cut her off. “If you’re trying to convince me to take his money, then I don’t think we have anything to talk about.”

Arielle was stunned for a second. “Well, that was what I was about to say. But since you’re adamant about it, I won’t insist on it. However, would you mind telling me the reason behind it? After all, he’s someone you’ve raised. Since he’s grown up to be a successful person, why can’t he contribute and make everyone’s life better?”

Moses gazed at her intently before heaving a sigh. “I can tell you’re a sensible girl. I’ll let you in on it, but you can’t tell Jason, okay?”

“Okay.” Arielle nodded. “Go on.”

“Three years ago, Jason signed a contract with an agency when he first debuted. When he got paid the first time, he’d given me all his money. However, the owner of that agency came to look for me right after Jason left.”

“What did they say to you?”

Moses sighed again before continuing, “The agency told me that Jason is perfect for the industry, and he’ll surely become a superstar in the future. However, if his fans ever found out that he actually grew up in an orphanage, they might look down on him. After all, Jason is their idol and someone they admire. Hence, the agency told me to cut ties with Jason. Otherwise, they were going to raze this place to the ground.”

Finally, Arielle understood why Moses wanted Jason to have nothing to do with the orphanage.

She frowned and said, “If you’re still worried about the owner of that agency, you shouldn’t be. That’s because Jason had signed for a different company. This company is very open-minded, and they won’t stop him from interacting with you. Also, nothing is going to happen to the orphanage.”

Moses shook his head. “I’m not worried about that agency’s threats. We live in a law-abiding society. They can’t possibly take down the orphanage just because they wanted to.”

“Then?”

“It’s because the agency did have a point. No one’s going to admire an idol with such a tragic upbringing. Without Jason’s help, we can get by just fine. However, we might ruin his career if he keeps interacting with us. I don’t want to take the risk. That’s why I’d rather cut ties with him so that we don’t pull him down.”

Arielle pursed her lips and answered, “I get it.”

“Well, you should stop trying to convince me now that you know the reason why I can’t accept his money. Please take him away and tell him not to come back.” With that, Moses turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait, Father Moses!” Arielle went after him and stood in front of him to stop him in his tracks. “Since you won’t accept Jason’s help, how about mine? Will you accept my help?”

Moses was taken aback. “You?” You’re such a pretty young girl. In what way can you possibly help the orphanage?

The next moment, Arielle took out her name card from her pocket and gave it to Moses.
