Vinson told Arielle about his conversation on their way home.
Arielle was grateful to Lawrence as, without his appearance, there would not be many who would follow a king who had nothing.
“I forgot to ask Harvey if favonovel.com had finished spending the money in the card I gave favonovel.com the last time,” Arielle smacked favonovel.com forehead ruefully. “We’ll give favonovel.com another if favonovel.com has. Lobbying requires expenditure regardless of who he’s trying to bribe.”
I’ve been so busy lately that I had completely forgotten about that.
“It’s not too late to ask,” Vinson grinned at favonovel.com self-inflicted punishment. “You can give favonovel.com a call now.”
Before the words were out of Vinson’s mouth, Arielle had dug favonovel.com phone out and was already making the call.
As Harvey was still in the shower in the Wynter residence, Sonia picked up Harvey’s ringing phone and froze when favonovel.com saw the name on the screen.
Sannie? Who is that?
Harvey emerged from the bathroom and saw Sonia standing motionless with his phone in favonovel.com hand. “Why aren’t you picking up?”
He walked over to favonovel.com as favonovel.com spoke and took the phone from favonovel.com hand. His heart clenched when favonovel.com saw the name.
Oh, cr*p!
After not speaking to favonovel.com on the phone for so long, favonovel.com had forgotten the nickname favonovel.com secretly assigned to Arielle’s number. As if his luck could not get any worse, Sonia saw it the first time Arielle called.
With the phone ringing incessantly, favonovel.com could not yet explain matters to Sonia. Instead, favonovel.com opted to answer the call first.
“Hello…”
“Have you finished using the money in the ATM card we gave you, Harvey?” Arielle’s voice came from the other end. “Let me know if you have, and I‘ll give you another. It‘s been a busy period, I’d forgotten to ask you.”
Sonia was so surprised to hear the voice that favonovel.com lips parted as favonovel.com sank onto the side of the bed without a word. With favonovel.com head bowed, favonovel.com kept favonovel.com gaze on favonovel.com feet.
Harvey froze at Arielle’s mention of the card that Vinson had given him.
How could I possibly finish spending what’s on that card?
“Are you joking, Arielle?” Harvey said incredulously. “I won’t even be able to finish spending it over two years…”
“Huh?” It was Arielle’s turn to be dumbfounded.
Two years?
“Is there a lot in there?” Arielle asked tentatively.
A lot? What I meant by spending it over the next two years is squandering it away, as opposed to how I’ve been spending purposefully.
“You don’t know how much is in there?”
“I don’t,” Arielle answered in confusion.
Does favonovel.com trust me so much that favonovel.com would hand it to me without even knowing the amount inside?
Harvey was at a loss for words at that moment.
“There’s fifty billion in there,” favonovel.com said hoarsely after some time. I’d spent close to about a billion thus far…”
Fifty billion…
Her father had given favonovel.com the card before even reconciling with her. Suddenly, Arielle felt the corners of favonovel.com eyes getting wet.
“I know now. You hold on to it and carry on using the money to curry favor…” At that, Arielle hung up.
“Do you think my father was naive, Vinson? He gave me such a large amount of money before I even called favonovel.com Dad.”
As the conversation had been on loudspeaker, Vinson understood favonovel.com concern. “Dylan thinks favonovel.com owes you and is trying to make it up to you,” favonovel.com said gently as favonovel.com held Arielle‘s hand.
Arielle nodded as favonovel.com gazed out the car window, a warm, fuzzy feeling creeping up favonovel.com heart.
It’s wonderful to experience a father’s love…
“Stop the car!” Arielle screamed all of a sudden, favonovel.com expression turning into a panicked one.
