Fifteen thousand dollars, plus the money from selling Mike's house, would make about forty thousand dollars.
They would use thirty thousand to buy a new house, and the remaining ten thousand could solve the issue of little Michael's schooling; there should even be some surplus.
Director Johnson was quick with calculations, thanks to his professional skills developed over the years. He was indeed a warrior on the tax work front line, quick with simple numbers.
Miserable in prison, Michael certainly didn't know that his wife was not only pregnant with someone else's child but that the house he bought would be sold by Director Johnson.
This is truly a tragic story!
However, Director Johnson's expression was not as grim. Lynch had helped him a lot, and he waved the check, "Should I say thank you?"
"You can say it or not, it depends on your attitude," Lynch put away the checkbook; it was unlikely that Director Johnson had other issues besides lack of money when he approached him.
