Chapter 90


    Chapter 90 I Don’t Trust You Anymore


    “What do you need me to do?” I cut him off.


    “Try to get his data and snap it down to me. I suspect that he didn’t even put in a lot of money for this


    investment. He tried to get the investment from the government, and the profit would all be his.”


    “Nius, I’m not dumb, you know. This is a billion dor project, all eyes are on him. Lance might have


    done some stuff to increase his profit, but he wouldn’t dare to change the project too much. Don’t think


    that you can use me easily, Nius.”


    Hailey told me just now that Nius’ family used to be in the raw material sector, just recently, they


    slowly explore the business world more by going into property sector. I figured Nius wanted to sell


    Lance all the materials, so he needed the data to estimate what kind of price he would give Lance.


    By the time, I would be his one way ticket to profit.


    I’m not so dumb.


    “The data you want, you would have to look for it yourself. Don’t you think that you have overestimated


    me? To Lance Mason, I’m nothing but his sex toy. I guess we really can’t be allis after all. I used to


    think Ms Sands would help me collect evidence of Lance’s


    crimes, and go against him, now when I think about it, I was amused at how na?ve I was. Someone like


    Lance, of course he would make sure no evidence is left when doing his dirty deeds. Even if you have


    anything against him, you wouldn’t give it to me, you would use it to your own advantage.” I finished


    speaking and Nius pped his hands.


    “Am I wrong?” I asked.


    He didn’t nod or shake his head. Instead, he said, “You are correct on one part. Businessmen prioritize


    profit, so in this business world, there’s no friends or enemies, only benefits. But you are wrong on


    another point. Me and Lance are not as close as you think, we are not in the friends in terms of profit. If


    you check the history of the Sands, you would see that the Abel and the Sands are rted. We are


    distant families, but the Mason’s and the Abel stood togetherst time and chased us out from


    Denmark, so my family came to California and started all over again. They nearly made us go


    bankrupt.”


    I didn’t expect that Nius Sands and Tiffany Abel, theye from the same bloodline, but not directly


    rted. This means that they are distant rtives.


    So, Lance’s fiancé, is Nius Sands’ distant cousin then?


    “I don’t care about your family history with the Abel’s or Lance. To conclude what I want to tell you, I


    can’t get the data you want. As for my own goal, I will try to work on it . I Don’t Trust You Anymore


    myself.” And with that, i stood up and leave.


    Nius’ voice sounded from behind me. “What can you do? Rely on the useless Rupert Robinson?


    Don’t be so na?ve, you already said it, Lance would make sure he leaves no evidence for his dirty


    deeds.”


    I was na?ve and stupid, but now, of course I knew I couldn’t rely on that foolish Rupert!


    I turned back around to face him, “Don’t try to trigger me, I don’t trust you anymore. The data you


    want? Get it yourself, don’t ask me.”


    And with that I walked towards the exit. Nius is a businessman, he wants money. So it was obvious


    what both of us wanted were not the same, of course we couldn’t be allies anymore. He didn’t want


    Lance’s life, he just wanted money.


    After saying goodbye to Hailey in the mall, I went back to the driver who was waiting for me. My phone


    rang twice, it was a stranger’s number. I picked up and a woman’s voice came from the other side of


    the phone.


    “Hi, is this Jennie Gomez?”


    I said yes. “Ms Gomez, your mother Karen, tried to cut her own wrist and she’s now not in danger


    anymore after emergency treatment. Can youe and have a look at her?”


    Mom tried tomit suicide again, but I wasn’t surprised at all.


    I didn’t know if it was my heart who hardened, or did I started to hate her? Hate her for treating father


    this way, hate her for never giving me protection like how mothers usually do.


    I answered her cruelly, “She’s not my mother, you must have made a mistake.”


    I hung up after that. I knew my mother wouldn’t really kill herself. I already gave her a card with a huge


    amount of money inside. Those were the money I saved up to buy a house. But I gave it to her, so I


    don’t owe her anymore. I just hope she will wake up from her fantasies and live a peaceful life.

    If she really wanted to die, she wouldn’t let someone call me and inform me. I already knew it, so I


    didn’t answer her call when she called me.
