Chapter 198
"You said it. You said it yourself. I don''t care. If you can''t recover the money, you''ll have to give me 3.8
million!" Upon hearing Fane’s response, Fiona immediately stood up and grabbed onto Fane''s cors
and made unreasonable demands.
"Ma, it''s not Fane that took your money. How can you b e like this? He can at most help you look for it
and see i f he can recover it. Even if he fails to recover the money, you can''t demand the money from
him, right?”
Selena was speechless. Her own mother was being too unreasonable to expect Fane to take
responsibility for this matter.
"I don’t care. He''s the one that ims to recover the money for sure!"
Fiona did not let Fane go.
"Sure, sure. If I can''t find it, you can take it from me!”
Fane was speechless as he moved her hands out of the way. "Mother, don''t you worry. You''re Selena’s
mother, that makes you my mother. I won’t let your money be taken away from you just like that!”
"That''s better!”
Fiona finally stopped crying and went back to smiling. She then asked Fane, "You better give it your
best. Give me a deadline. I can''t be waiting forever,
right? Can you get it back in a week?"
"Ma, how can it be that easy? Do you think we''re picking up money from the floor? Who knows where
they will be hiding after taking the money?!"
Selena felt the need to stand up for Fane as her mother made it sound like Fane owed her the three
million bucks.
"He agreed to it himself. You can’t me me, right?"
Fiona had seemingly realized her own unreasonable behavior, but she still crossed her arms and
replied, albeit without much confidence.
Having said that, she then looked at the nosy crowd around her. "What''re you looking at? There''s
nothing t o see here. Get lost!"
"Alright, Mother. I’ll promise you to get them back in one week, okay? If I can’t recover the money, I''ll
add it t o the betrothal gifts during Grandfather’s birthday. How''s that sound?"
Faneforted.
"Good. You’re quite understanding, unlike my daughter who always tries to side with outsiders and not
consider her own mother''s feelings!”
Hearing that, Fiona felt happy and her mood improved significantly.
"Alright now, let’s take a taxi back."
Andrew felt rather embarrassed by Fiona''s emotional outburst in public as well.
"Mm, you guys head back first. I''ll think of a solution!"
Fane smiled, then waved a taxi for the two elders to send them home.
"Look at you. Why did you listen to my mother? She’s too unreasonable! I didn’t even me her for
losing the money, yet she pushes the me onto you and ces a one week limit to find the money.
You think you’re god?"
Selena finally ranted in anger after her parents went back and the crowd dispersed.
"I''m not god, but I can definitely help find the money!”
Fane smiled calmly,forting her, "She’s your mother after all. She''s already old. Losing over 3
million bucks just like that, she''ll naturally feel horrible. How can we notfort her? Furthermore, if we
med her as you said, she might lose it and kill herself. What will we do then?"
Hearing such thoughtful words from Fane, Selena''s heart warmed up immediately. She rolled her eyes
at him. "You and your sweet talks. What’s this about my mother being old? Is she that old?"
Fane grinned. "Isn''t she fifty years old already? Is that still not considered old?"
"That''s not true! She''s only forty-nine. Moreover, with proper and consistent skincare, she looked like
someone in herte thirties!"
Selena made a bitter smile, then looked at Fane. "What should we do now? Can we try to ask the bank

for their surveince records?”
"Daddy, are we not going to the amusement park?”
Beside him, Kylie''s mouth pouted, seemingly unhappy.
"Go, of course, we''re going!"
Fane immediately crouched down,forting her," Daddy promised to bring Kylie to y. Of course,
we''ll have to go!"
