Three Million Left
Peter only needed seven million, but Tate and Minerva borrowed ten million from Helen. They gave
seven million to Peter, leaving them with three million.
That cheered Minerva up. “Oh, I almost forgot about that. Now that Peter is gone, they have nobody to
ask, so we can pocket all of the remaining money. How do you plan on spending it?”
Tate answered, “I’m getting a Harley bike and keeping the rest for future use.”
Minerva scoffed. “We’ll be taking a million and a half each, and you’re only getting a bike? Well, I’m
getting a car. A Porsche, to be exact. I’ll be stepping into the socialite circle, and if some rich guy falls
for me, we’ll be set for life.”
Tate laughed. “Oh, Minnie, a million and a half is only enough for a regular Porsche. I won’t even touch it.
First I’ll get the bike, then I’ll ask Aunt Helen for some more money later. After that, I’ll get a Ferrari.
That’s my ticket to Eastcliff’s top echelon.”
Minerva glanced at him. “You ambitious little brat. Fine, I’ll transfer the money to you later. Put it to good
use. I’ve decided on the car I’m getting, so I’ll be buying it tomorrow.”
“Hahaha…” The both of them laughed smugly in the room.
At the same time, Helen was heading to Liam’s construction site, worried. When she met him, she
hesitated for a while before saying, “Liam, I-I might not be able to pay you back that soon. I invested the
money, and I can’t withdraw it so soon. So…”
Liam gave it some thought before answering solemnly, “Helen, the money’s for the construction site. We
have a lot of it, so I don’t mind letting you use it. But the problem is, Matthew owns the company. His
men come to audit the accounts every few days or so. If he finds out the money is missing, he’ll be
asking about it, and I’ll have to answer him.”
Helen panicked. “What? Who gave him the right to check the accounts? You’re the general manager, so
you should be handling the accounts, not him!”
Liam was delighted to hear that, but he pretended to look frustrated. “Can’t do anything about it, Helen.
He’s the CEO, so I can’t say no. Besides, James was the one who appointed him the position. As a
matter of fact, Matthew seems to dislike me, and he keeps trying to trip me up. I really want to help you,
but Matthew’s a problem.”
Helen slammed the table. “Ignore him, Liam! Just chase him out if he wants to check the accounts. He’s
no CEO. That guy is just our live-in son-in-law. Just because we asked him to handle the company
doesn’t mean he can do anything he wants. If he threatens you, let me know right away. I’ll deal with
him.”
Liam was overjoyed, as he was waiting for Helen to say just that. “Very well then, Helen. Then there’ll be
no problem. Take the money and hold it for as long as you want. I won’t let anyone find out about it. Tell
me if you need more money. I can give it to you whenever you want.” He grinned.
