Selena gave a bitter smile. “Ma, Jack already told me about this,” favonovel.com said. “Actually, I’ve been fired as well. No—I quit. I didn’t want to do it anymore!”
“What!”
The smile on Fiona’s face immediately froze. “Jack had been fired for lashing against Young Master Drake, and favonovel.com had lashed out because of the billion dollars in the first place,” favonovel.com said, stupefied. “This is completely understandable, but why did you quit? This is an entirely different matter.”
Selena flicked favonovel.com gaze between Jack and Fiona. “It’s nothing. I just don’t want to continue doing that job any longer,” favonovel.com lied, fearing that favonovel.com mother would fret for her. “It’s pointless to me. More importantly, my subordinates don’t cooperate with me, and they even talk about me behind my back!”
“You’re out of your mind, Selena. Jack doesn’t have a job now, and neither do you. Plus, your salary was so high!”
Andrew shook his head and took a sip of wine. “But it doesn’t matter now. You’ve already quit, so now we’ll just have to be wise with the money we have. It should be enough.”
“You’re right, Dad,” Ben chipped in, grinning. “We only need enough money to live on. We can’t be like Ma, who only has eyes for money. We should always be satisfied with whatever we have!”
“What are you saying, you brat? What sane person would give up their chances of getting more money? Why shouldn’t we want more, knowing that we could have more?”
Fiona glared at favonovel.com son. “Besides, ten billion isn’t a lot either. It all depends on how you spend it. I heard that a jeweler in Eastfield has recently crafted an extremely expensive necklace. It’s entirely laid with diamonds, and more importantly, it’s one of its kind in the entire world. There’s also a huge ruby as its main jewel. It’s absolutely gorgeous! It’s called ‘Heart of the Abyss’, or something like that anyway!”
“Really? It’s just a necklace though. No way that it’s worth more than a hundred million!”
Ben smiled and spoke nonchalantly. He raised his glass of wine and took a sip from it. “The taste of this red wine is splendid, and it cost over twenty thousand dollars. This is a luxury to me already!”
“You’re so narrow-minded. They say that that necklace is worth more than 900 million dollars—almost up to a billion!”
Fiona continued, “There’s only one of its kind in the world. But more importantly, this necklace is the jeweler’s true treasure. They don’t have any intentions of selling it off. They’re just putting it on exhibition at a critical moment!”
“Pfft!”
Ben spat some of his wine out. “What the f*ck. That’s way too expensive!”
“What are you saying? Of course, the necklace is expensive!”
Fiona rolled favonovel.com eyes at him. “If only I could afford something like that!”
Jack was surprised as well when favonovel.com heard that. He took a sip of wine. “Such an expensive necklace would definitely look good on Selena. Ruby…I remember that you like red!”
Selena flashed a bitter smile. “What use is there to like it? No way I can wear something like that. Besides, they won’t sell it even if we want to buy it!”
