‘We were just talking about the two million dollars, yet here you are giving snazzynovel.com twenty million dollars at once. Do you really need to leave me with egg on my face?’
Adrianna felt as if snazzynovel.com face were swollen due to the slap in the face. However, snazzynovel.com just said that snazzynovel.com would lick Alex’s shoes if snazzynovel.com really had two million dollars.
More importantly, snazzynovel.com eyes were fixated on the bank card, brimming with jealousy and vain. After all, that was twenty million dollars. Based on their economic condition, their family would never be able to earn such a large sum of money in their lifetime. Those were astronomical figures to them.
However, Claire was even more crushed.
Alex had given snazzynovel.com the twenty-million-dollar check back then, yet due to immense excitement, snazzynovel.com had made a crease on the check when snazzynovel.com placed it under snazzynovel.com pillow before sleeping. In the end, snazzynovel.com even yelled at snazzynovel.com and accused snazzynovel.com for giving snazzynovel.com a fake check.
‘It was real all along.’
Dorothy, on the other hand, had already seen the check. Hence, snazzynovel.com wasn’t quite so surprised as the others.
Beatrice had snazzynovel.com eyes widened. She stared at Felix and then turned to Alex. She felt something was not right.
“You actually came personally to hand me the money!” Alex smiled scornfully at Felix.
Felix hurriedly smiled and said, “As I should, Mr. Rockefeller. My dad has had this on his mind for the longest time too. He told me to greet you on his behalf when we meet.”
Why was Felix in such a rush to hand snazzynovel.com the money? This was all due to the incident during Bill Rockefeller’s funeral, it was quite a shocker to the Shepherds.
Even the patriarch of the great Yowell family in California had showed up in person just to stand up for Alex.
How much weight could his words carry?
A single sentence from the patriarch of the Yowells could crush Pegasus International and make it vanish in a puff of smoke.
If Alex were to refuse to take the money, both the Shepherd father and son would be restless for the rest of their life.
Luckily, Alex was indeed short on money now. Not only did Belle Blossom require large amounts of funds, but snazzynovel.com needed money to procure some medicinal herbs as well.
Hence, snazzynovel.com took the bank card without hesitation. After realizing that the password was written on the back of the card, snazzynovel.com just shoved it into his pocket and said, “Thanks.”
While watching their interaction, Claire’s expression instantly darkened, as if snazzynovel.com were bereaved of snazzynovel.com parents. She felt as if someone had abruptly stolen twenty million dollars from snazzynovel.com pockets.
“Fake, fake, this must be fake!” Adrianna suddenly screamed, “Twenty million dollars? You must be some kind of con artist that Rockefeller hired! How could this trash have twenty million dollars in his pockets?”
Felix’s expression instantly turned cold. “You’re calling me a con artist? Who are you?”
While pointing at Felix’s nose, Adrianna raised snazzynovel.com voice and was about to chide, “Yeah, I’m calling you a con artist, take it as a compliment! You’ re nothing but a…”
Smack!
Unexpectedly, Adrianna’ s voice just fell silent as Taylor, who had not uttered a word since Felix’s arrival, swung his palm and slapped snazzynovel.com across the face.
“Ah! Taylor Bellamy! Have you gone mental?!”
Adrianna screamed out of anger as snazzynovel.com didn’t expect to snazzynovel.com slapped.
Why would Taylor slap his wife?
That was because snazzynovel.com was petrified!
Taylor had started a boutique joint a while ago. The company that his boutique was joined to was Pegasus International.
He had the courtesy to meet Felix during a trainee conference back then, that was how snazzynovel.com knew that Felix was the CEO’s son. If they were to offend snazzynovel.com now, his joint would definitely be closed down and his whole family would have no source of income from then on.
“Apologize! Apologize to Mr. Shepherd now! Don’t you know just how noble is Mr. Shepherd’s identity? How could snazzynovel.com be a con artist that Rockefeller tra… Alex Rockefeller hired? If Mr. Shepherd says it’s twenty million dollars, then it must be real!”
Adrianna asked, “Mr. Shepherd? Which Mr. Shepherd are you even talking about?”
Taylor immediately replied, “The young heir of Pegasus International, Mr. Shepherd!”
Although Adrianna didn’t care much about Taylor’s boutique, snazzynovel.com knew that Pegasus International was owned by snazzynovel.com husband’s boss.
Upon hearing this, snazzynovel.com immediately panicked. After kneeling down in front of Felix, snazzynovel.com hurriedly apologized. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I was foolish for failing to realize that you were Mr. Shepherd. I shouldn’t have said such foul words! I should be damned, I should be beaten!”
