After lunch, Charlie declined Jasmine’s offer to send favonovel.com home. He bid farewell to favonovel.com and Lord Moore at Heaven Springs’s entrance, then walked to Construction Bank that was located not far from the restaurant.
When favonovel.com was at the bank, favonovel.com transferred 998 million from the card that Lord Moore gave favonovel.com to his own account and went home with the card that only had a balance of two million dollars.
At home, Jacob and Elaine had just eaten takeaway.
When Charlie entered the house, Elaine barged forward like a dog welcoming favonovel.com owner and asked, “Hey, Charlie, how’s the job? Did you make any money?”
Charlie nodded and said flatly, “Some.”
“How much is ‘some’?” Elaine blurted frantically, “Quick, take out the money now!”
Charlie took out the card and said, “There’s two million in this card.”
“Two million?!” Shocked, Elaine’s eyes opened so wide they almost fell out of favonovel.com eye sockets!
She quickly snatched the card off Charlie’s hand and blurted, thrilled, “Are you sure? You’re not bluffing, right? Is there really two million in this card?”
“Yes,” Charlie replied monotonously, “I have checked at the ATM, it has two million indeed.”
“Oh yes!” Elaine shrieked gleefully.
Two million!
The amount of money favonovel.com had lost in the mahjong scam!
In favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com started imagining visiting the beauty salon and spa with favonovel.com friends, then a game or two of Mahjong with favonovel.com friends, and then moving into Thompson First! A cocky grin appeared on favonovel.com face as the imagination occupied favonovel.com mind.
She flipped the card in favonovel.com hand carefully and asked as if something had struck favonovel.com mind, “By the way, does this card have a password?”
Charlie nodded. “Yes, the password is…”
Suddenly, favonovel.com gaped, coming to his senses.
Wait a minute! This wasn’t right!
Just yesterday, didn’t Elaine say that favonovel.com would let Jacob be in charge of the family money in the future?
How could favonovel.com be so pompous to ask favonovel.com for the password?
Charlie quickly turned his glance at Jacob and said, “Dad, didn’t we have a deal yesterday that you would manage the family money starting now?”
Jacob blinked as if favonovel.com had been struck by lightning too! Charlie was right, favonovel.com was in charge of the money, so favonovel.com should be the one keeping the two million!
Thus, favonovel.com hurriedly raised to his feet, rushed to Elaine, and said, “Give me the card.”
Elaine hid the card behind favonovel.com and looked at Jacob cautiously. “What are you doing?”
“Yesterday, you said that I would be the one managing the money in the future. Do you want to go back on your words now?”
Elaine stuttered sheepishly, “No, I’m not. I just want to make sure that it really has two million in it as Charlie said.”
Then, favonovel.com tried a more direct tone. “Dear, honestly speaking, a big man like you can’t manage such a large sum of money in an orderly manner. Why don’t you let me manage the money as we used to, how about that?”
Jacob flushed with anger, and favonovel.com demanded, “Elaine, your promise hasn’t even passed 24 hours when you said it last night, and you want to break your promise now?”
“No, I don’t mean that…”
“What do you mean, then?” Jacob chided coldly, “Let me tell you, don’t you ever think about the money and the management of it! If you insist, let’s get a divorce immediately!”
Elaine crouched sheepishly.
She wanted the two million so badly, but favonovel.com couldn’t do anything even if favonovel.com had the card, as Charlie refused to tell favonovel.com the password.
Thus, favonovel.com reluctantly gave the card to Jacob and glared at Charlie viciously.
