However, she still felt something was off.
It was Christopher Wilson who opened his wallet and casually pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills: "Take this money for now. Look, I made a phone call and now I'm giving you the money. I'm definitely not scamming a child."
The caretaker saw the stack of cash, and its amount seemed to be at least a few thousand! No one would kidnap a child and give out this much money. Moreover, Emma Smith did indeed know him, and had just confirmed it over the phone.
"If you still don't believe me, I have my ID here, take a look." He showed the caregiver his ID from his wallet, and with that, she completely believed Christopher Wilson's words.
"However, because this is meant to be a 'surprise' for Mrs. Smith, I hope you won't tell her first."
Having taken the money and checked the ID, the caretaker was overjoyed and naturally nodded: "I understand!"
