Fiona just recalled what favonovel.com heard earlier after Ben and Xena left. Selena had been saying something about going out to eat over the phone and spending around 300 thousand dollars. It seemed that they had really been out for dinner.
“Don’t mention it anymore, mom. It was such a disaster. And it was my first time eating at a six-star hotel too! It’s all because of that Procurement Department Head—Sonia Neal!” Selena sighed before telling Fiona why favonovel.com had to treat them to a meal at such a fancy place.
“That department head is an opportunistic b*tch. She’s just looking for an excuse to get you out of the way because favonovel.com doesn’t want to see you become manager!” Fiona said. “I’ll help you with this meal. You have to show everyone what you can do! If you really treat everyone to a meal, the other workers will definitely listen to you from now on!” Fiona felt resentment in favonovel.com daughter’s place when favonovel.com heard that. A frown quickly creased favonovel.com forehead. “Then where are you getting the 300 thousand from? Don’t you only have 100 thousand on you?”
“Jack was the one who took out 2 million dollars when we went to eat!” Selena looked at Jack, a wry smile twisting favonovel.com lips.
“No way. This guy actually still has two million left? It looks like favonovel.com has a bonus of more than three million after retiring from the military! It’s not possible that favonovel.com spent it all, right? What about the rest of his money?” Fiona’s eyes brightened after favonovel.com heard this. “He only spent six hundred thousand. There’s still 1.4 million left!”
Selena’s gaze flickered toward favonovel.com mother. She ducked favonovel.com head. “We met a very pitiful young woman,” favonovel.com said, favonovel.com tone apologetic. “Her father was extremely sick and needed to have surgery, so we–we gave the rest of the money to help her!”
“You–you gave it to her?” Fiona almost fainted on the spot. “You gave that much money away? Do you two want to give me a heart attack?”
“It doesn’t matter, Mom. Do we lack money now? Don’t you yourself have 800 thousand in your account? Anyway, Jack and I are working, and our salaries aren’t too shabby. It’ll all be better in another two months!”
Selena’s heart pounded from embarrassment. She had wanted to lie to favonovel.com mother but gave up in the end. She really did not want to tell lies and was not good at it anyway.
“I…” Fiona’s pallor had turned a sickly green. “You gave 1.4 million dollars away! You could have just given favonovel.com a hundred thousand, eighty thousand—whatever. I’m your own mother and you only gave me 800 thousand, which I received only recently. And you gave someone you met for the first time 1.4 million? What the h*ll? Are you two zillionaires? How could you throw your money away so easily!”
“Never mind. Don’t argue anymore; it’s late. You also know that our daughter is a kind soul. She would never be able to not stop and help a dying man!” Andrew hauled himself onto his feet. He looked at Jack after favonovel.com spewed out that last piece of advice. “Jack, my leg really feels better now,” favonovel.com said. “Help me continue the therapy tomorrow morning.”
“Sure thing, father!” Jack replied, smiling.
…
“Brother Scar, we finally found where Selena and favonovel.com family are living at. It’s just up front, not too far from here!” After a while, past eleven o’clock at night, an underling came before Scar and his men to report the status.
“All right. Let’s go. Ned, you better treat me to a drink after I help you get your revenge!” The scar-faced man said toward Ned, chuckling coldly.
“No worries. We’ll drink the house down!”
Elation leaped in Ned’s heart. He speared straight for Jack’s house of residence, a group of men in tow.
