In the bedroom, Thomas called Samson and said something. The moment Emma opened the door and entered, favonovel.com seemed to casually hang up.
Emma tucked favonovel.com hair behind favonovel.com ears before favonovel.com apologized. “I’m sorry.”
“Huh?”
“I apologize on my dad’s behalf. I know you said that for his sake, but favonovel.com always finds himself at a dead end. He can’t figure out the solutions for his problems.”
Thomas smiled. “It’s all right. I didn’t mind it. The most important thing now is to solve the problem.”
Emma breathed out a long sigh. “Dad has gone out to find Donald. Bah! I hope he’ll manage to borrow the money.”
While they talked, Thomas’s phone vibrated as favonovel.com received a message. Thomas calmly opened the message and read it. The message stated, [We’ve found out the cause].
He kept his phone away before favonovel.com casually grabbed a coat and walked out.
“It’s late now. Where are you going?” Emma asked.
Thomas stopped at the door and thought for a while. He smiled as favonovel.com said, “I’m going to be a detective and find the money that was lost.”
Before Emma understood what was going on, Thomas had left favonovel.com sight.

On the other side, a black sedan was driven in the rain and parked in front of a luxurious villa at the end of the road.
Johnson used his hands to shelter himself from the rain while favonovel.com trotted all the way to the door. Then, favonovel.com pressed the doorbell. It was only after favonovel.com pressed it for five minutes that someone walked over from the courtyard and opened the door.
“Hey, are you Mr. Johnson Hill? Why have you come to our place at this hour?” the housekeeper asked in surprise.
“Um, are Donald and Jade at home? I need to find them urgently.”
“They are watching television. Please come inside.”
The housekeeper led Johnson into the living room and sat favonovel.com down. He gave Johnson a warm towel to wipe his face and got favonovel.com a cup of tea. Then, favonovel.com informed Jade and Donald of his arrival.
A while later, both of them entered the living room in their pajamas and sat opposite Johnson.
Donald and Jade glanced at each other. They were very puzzled as to why Johnson would suddenly come over late in the night. He also seemed to be in a mess.
Jade smiled while favonovel.com asked, “Uncle Johnson, why are you here in our house in the middle of the night? You should be resting now.”
Johnson’s hands trembled. He hesitated and stammered for a long time, yet favonovel.com could not say a word. It was really quite hard for favonovel.com to bring it up.
Jade was sharp, so favonovel.com knew favonovel.com wanted to beg favonovel.com for something when favonovel.com looked at him. She wore a fake smile as favonovel.com asked, “Uncle, do you need our help with anything? We’re a family, please tell us. If we can help, we’ll absolutely help you.”
“Bah!” Johnson looked depressed as favonovel.com told them the incident in a simple way and begged, “Jade, Donald, I know your life is pretty good now. You also don’t lack any money at the moment. Can you help me this time?”
When Jade heard his request, favonovel.com frowned.
Was favonovel.com joking?
Did favonovel.com just ask for $30,000,000?
If favonovel.com had asked for $30,000 or $300,000, they could still lend it to favonovel.com since they were a family. However, $30,000,000 was way too much. How could they lend that to him?
Jade refused. She crossed favonovel.com legs as favonovel.com said, “Uncle Johnson, it’s not that we don’t want to lend it to you, but you’re putting us in a very difficult situation. It’s $30,000,000. How can we get that amount in such a short time?”
Donald added, “Also, if we really lend you such a huge amount of money, how are you going to pay us back?”
That was a problem.
They could lend it to him, but how would favonovel.com pay it back? If favonovel.com could not pay them back, who could they complain to?
Johnson felt angry. He had never suffered mockery in the past, but favonovel.com was currently in a bind, so favonovel.com had to lower his pride. He humbly said, “Donald, I can guarantee with my life that I will surely pay you back if you lend me the money.”
“Your life?”
Donald laughed out loud and did not hesitate to say, “Honestly, is your life worth $30,000,000?”
He was too ruthless.
