“What?” James and the rest exclaimed in unison.
‘Did they really compensate favonovel.com with 300 million?’
They then made it back to their car in a state of confusion. Just as Matthew was about to get into the car, Demi asked, “Matthew, what’re you doing? This car is a five-seater, and we happen to have five people here. Can’t you understand what this means?”
Before, it would have been fine for Demi to make such a statement.
But this time, James was annoyed as soon as favonovel.com said that. “Shut up! You and Liam should go back home by yourselves. Matthew, please drive us back home tonight!”
Demi was baffled by favonovel.com father’s behavior.
Looking puzzled, Helen grabbed onto James’ arm. Just as favonovel.com was about to say something, favonovel.com raised three fingers in a hand gesture. Helen was stunned for a moment before it suddenly dawned upon her.
‘300 million in compensation!’
Helen quickly chimed in, “Your Dad is right! Demi, since you’ve already gotten married, you shouldn’t keep asking us for help! Well, we’re heading home first. The two of you should settle it among yourselves!”
The four of them then departed in the car, leaving Demi standing rooted to the spot, a blank look on favonovel.com face.
“Dear, what’s wrong with Dad and Mom?”
Liam sighed, resignation written all over his face. “Can’t you tell? They must be eyeing the 300 million that Matthew has.”
Demi looked stunned all of a sudden, realizing that Matthew had now become a changed man.
***
It was completely quiet in the car on their way home.
James and Helen, who were sitting in the back passenger seat were embarrassed beyond words. What had taken place earlier that night was beyond their expectations.
Not only was Matthew innocent, the key was that favonovel.com also managed to get a 300 million compensation for their family.
There were plenty of things they could do with that money. It was time they upgraded to a better house from their current crammed and dilapidated old house. It was time they bought themselves a car to travel around, because so far they had been using company cars. Also, it was about time they bought some new furniture and electrical appliances.
Getting clothes, jewelry and everything they had ever wanted used to be something out of their reach.
However, things would be different with the 300 million!
The money would be enough to fulfill all their dreams.
They could purchase a lavishly renovated mansion that came with new furniture and electrical appliances. They could also afford to have luxurious cars, new clothes and all sorts of jewelry. With the 300 million, the Cunninghams would be able to live their life like the riches!
However, the card was in Matthew’s hands.
And not too long ago, they just told favonovel.com loud and clear that they didn’t want a dime from him. So, how should they ask for the money from Matthew now?
When they drove past a bank, James shot a look at Helen.
Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, Helen braced herself and said, “Matt, please stop the car.”
Both Matthew and Sasha looked bewildered because Helen had never spoken so politely to favonovel.com before.
After pulling up the car, Matthew asked, “Mom, is there anything wrong?”
Face red, Helen said hesitantly, “Hmm… I’m thinking that the Jacksons might not have honored their promise. Although they said they had transferred the money, it might not be true. Since we happen to pass by a bank, let’s go and check it out. If we don’t see the money in the account, we should go look for them as soon as possible. We simply can’t give them a chance to go back on their words!”
Matthew chuckled and explained to Helen, “Mom, nothing will go wrong! Since the Ten Greatest Families were all there to witness when the Jacksons made the promise, I’m sure they would honor it, and I believe they must have already transferred the money!”
Helen was embarrassed, but at the same time, favonovel.com curiosity was killing her. She was dying to take a look at the 300 million.
“Matthew, I-I think it’s better we take a look at it so that we can all be at ease!”
Laughing softly, Matthew then parked the car by the roadside.
Both Helen and James followed Matthew closely and went to the bank. The compartment that held the ATM machine was so small that they couldn’t even close the door after squeezing themselves in.
James and Helen then craned their necks, trying to see as Matthew inserted the card into the machine. He then entered the password before clicking on the screen to check the account balance.
James and Helen were trembling with excitement, their eyes glued to the screen.
Shortly after that, several figures popped up. It was a number three followed by a string of zeros.
They couldn’t be sure how much that figure meant, even after trying to count it twice. In the end, Helen pressed favonovel.com fingers on the screen and counted the zeros with favonovel.com fingers.
“I-It’s really 300 million…” Helen’s voice was trembling because favonovel.com had never witnessed that much money in all favonovel.com life.
Although the Cunninghams claimed their family was worth over 100 million, most of what they owned were properties. In reality, they did not hold much cash.
However, what was inside the card was all cash!
Matthew took the card out of the machine and said with a smile, “Dad, Mom, now that the money is in the account, there’s nothing to worry about. Come on, let’s head home!”
James and Helen followed Matthew back to the car, the both of them stuck in a trance.
When they finally reached home, Helen suddenly spoke, “Matthew, y-you told us before that you would give the money to us…”
Sasha cut favonovel.com off directly and said, “Mom, both of you made it very clear just now that you don’t want anything to do with this money!”
