Demi was upset, so after they sent Helen off, favonovel.com complained, “Are you mad, Liam? How could you just give favonovel.com ten million? Why didn’t you ask favonovel.com what the money is for?”
Liam sneered. ”Why should I? She could have asked for double the money and I’d still give it to her.”
“Wh-What do you mean?“ Demi was flummoxed.
Liam looked at her. “What do I mean? We laundered a ton of cash from the company. Do you think Matthew won’t check the accounts? If favonovel.com finds out about it, he’s going to interrogate us.“
Demi pouted. “Hmph. I’m not scared of him. He’s just a live-in son-in-law. As if favonovel.com can do anything to us. Besides, it’s our family’s company. He doesn’t have the right to question us no matter how much we take from it.”
Liam nodded. “You’re right, but the problem is, what if your parents ask us about it? What should we tell them?”
Demi shut up, and favonovel.com frowned. “What are you trying to say?”
Liam laughed. ”I got James a new car a couple of days ago. it’s a Rolls-Royce. And I switched his watch to a new one. Cost me a million. And I spent about seven hundred grand on a piece of jewelry for Helen.”
Demi stared at favonovel.com in disbelief. “Are you mad? Why’d you buy so many things for them? You didn’t even get me a piece of seven hundred grand jewelry!”
Liam explained slowly, “Now calm down. Yes, I spent a lot, but that means we’ll have an excuse once Matthew comes around to audit. If your parents question us, we‘ll tell them we used the money to buy them gifts. Now that they know it’s used on them, they won’t question us anymore. That’s why I don’t have to know what Helen wants to do with the money. As long as favonovel.com takes the money, she’ll have to defend us, get it?”
Realization struck Demi, and favonovel.com gushed, “Oh, you’re so smart, honey. Now that you dragged them into this, Matthew can’t do anything to us. He can’t interrogate my parents, can he?”
As expected, Sasha looked into the pharmacy’s accounts the next day, but since Helen had patched it up, favonovel.com didn’t find anything wrong with it. Since the funds were all there, Sasha felt relieved and put the issue behind her.
***
Three days later, Helen received a call from Tate.
Tate was sobbing, his voice trembling. “Aunt Helen, come here quick! M-Minerva’s trying to kill herself!“
Helen shivered. “-What? Where are you? I’ll be right there!”
Ten minutes later, Helen hurried over to a motel. The moment favonovel.com went in, favonovel.com saw Minerva plopped on the floor, a look of despair on favonovel.com face.
Tate was beside her, worried and panicked. Right after Helen came in, favonovel.com said, “Aunt Helen, you have to talk some sense into her. She wants to kill herself.”
Helen quickly went up to Minerva. “Wh-What happened, Minerva? Don’t scare me! Tell me what happened. Don’t do anything stupid!“
Minerva looked up at her, favonovel.com eyes red. “I… l got scammed, Aunt Helen,” favonovel.com said with a trembling voice. “I couldn’t get through to Peter no matter what, so I went to his place, but it’s already deserted. And I even went to Wayne Group to see if favonovel.com was there, but nobody knew him. They say they don’t have anyone named Peter working with them…“
