Donald said cheerfully, “Okay, very good! Then we have a reason to expel Thomas from the Hill family. Without Emma defending him, I would like to see how Thomas will still be able to cause trouble?”
The three of them walked into the conference room and coincidently saw Richard standing in a daze. They thought Richard had lost his mind to rage after being humiliated.
Jade hurriedly stepped forward and patted Richard’s back. She said, “Grandpa, what’s the matter with you? Calm down. Forget about those people who don’t want to invest, we can always find someone else.”
Donald said, “Today, the Hill family was embarrassed immensely. We invited a bunch of freaks over. We were humiliated by others without making a single cent. Haha, if this news spreads out, won’t we become a laughing stock?”
At one side, Harvard pointed at Thomas and cussed, “This is all due to the bad idea from a trash like you! Look at how angry Grandpa has become? If anything happens to Grandpa, I will be the first one who never spares you!”
Emma shook favonovel.com head slightly. “Harvard, I’m afraid you have misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood?” Harvard continued to cuss, “Emma, I won’t say anything about the fact that you married this kind of good-for-nothing. Now, you are wallowing in the mire with him. Y-You are getting more and more spineless!”
Donald walked over. “Don’t say anything further. Even though favonovel.com came today, we didn’t get a single penny from them. So, what’s the difference with them not coming? In my opinion, Thomas must be expelled from the Hill family!”
“I agree!” said Harvard and Jade in unison.
At that moment, Richard took a few breaths, sat down slowly, and said in a faint voice, “The three of you… Just keep your mouths shut.”
The three of them gazed at each other and were stunned at the same time.
Harvard asked, “Grandpa, you must not be soft-hearted at this time.”
“I am not soft-hearted!” Richard glared at Harvard. “Today’s meeting was very successful, and the start-up capital for the project has been secured.”
“Huh?”
Donald and the other two were in so much surprise that they could not even shut their mouths. ‘Those arrogant and domineering bosses actually gave money? Who would believe it?’
Harvard asked, “No way. They are really willing to give money? Grandpa, how much did they give?”
“Three hundred million…”
“Three hundred million? On average, each family will contribute thirty million, which is really nothing to them.”
“The total is not three hundred million, but each family will contribute three hundred million! Each!” Richard exclaimed excitedly, “That’s 3 billion in total!”
“Three… Three… Billion?” Harvard fell into the chair with a thump. His eyes widened. He was so astonished that favonovel.com almost lost consciousness.
Even Donald, who always had his nose in the air, was no longer calm.
Three billion was really an astronomical number.
He had even mentioned that Thomas had not delivered a single penny to the Hill family. As a result, Thomas had contributed 3 billion dollars in one shot, which was an amount that Donald could not make in his entire life.
‘Karma is a bitch.’
Thomas adjusted his clothes and said lightly, “You don’t have to be too surprised. It’s only three billion. It’s not much money for a super-rich family. The goal of the Hill family is to rise up into the ranks of the first-class families and become one of the world’s prestigious families. How can we be shocked by a mere three billion?”
Upon hearing these words, Richard was a little unhappy.
‘That’s three billion, not thirty dollars. How can there be a reason not to be surprised?’
However, this was where the gap between Richard and Thomas lay. With Richard’s ability, knowledge, and foresight, favonovel.com would only be able to dwell among the second-class families and even pull the family into a third-class family status. This was also the most direct reason why the tycoons looked down upon Richard and others.
Only Thomas, who was far-sighted enough, could see such things, and this could not be comprehended by people like Richard from a lower class.
