    $21 39. Half a Billion


    m alright. Your grandfather inherited a lot of stock, Frank. The dividend | received was smallpared to the number of


    shares, but it was veryrge for me. That’s enough to help Mr. Harris’pany, even if there’s still some left.” Kara nodded,


    reassuring.


    Frank turned somber. While straightening up, he pulled Kara and embraced her. “I’m bothering you again,” he grumbled like a


    child.


    Sighing withughter, Kara stroked Frank’s hair. “I’m actually proud to be able to help you and your family.”


    Frank ced his chin on Kara’s chest. Through the upper corners of his eyes, he expressed love. “Thank you very much, Kara.


    After my savings are filled again, you can buy anything. I''ll treat you.”


    “You say so on the ordinary day. How is it different now?”


    Frank snorted a smile. “Of course it’s different. It’s a special treat without limits. Whether you want to buy a rocket or a cruise


    ship, | will make it happen.


    Kara’sugh was light in air. While nodding, she rubbed her husband''s temples. “Well, | will look forward to that day. Now, let’s


    settle things. with your mother and stepfather.”


    Frank nodded. When Mnie and Paul came back in, he greeted them with a brighter face. “Kara and | have decided.”


    Paul widened his eyes, waiting with pounding heart. Meanwhile, Mnie didn’t dare breathe, thinking that Kara had instigated


    Frank.


    “We will help you.”


    Paul took a quick breath, while Mnie gasped. She shifted his gaze. Kara’s smile wasn’t forced at all.

    “You''re willing to give me half a billion?” Mnie sighed, making Paul''sughter pause.


    “Why do you ask as if you don’t believe it? Don’t make your son change his mind.” Paul elbowed her arm.


    Frank smiled faintly. “Yes. We can do the transaction tomorrow.


    Pleasee to our office at ten o''clock, Mr. Harris.”


    Paul’s joy showed again. He shook Frank’s hand vigorously. “Thank you very much, Frank. Thank you! I’ll make sure you don’t


    regret


    investing in ourpany.”


    Before Frank had time to answer, Mnie rushed over to hug him.


    Thank you, Son. | know you couldn’t disappoint me. You are truly amazing!”


    Frank tried to ept thepliment with an open heart. However, for some reason, there was something stuck. He realized that


    it was not himself that Mnie was proud of, but his wealth.


    “Don’t thank me, Mom. Thank Kara. The money that will go to Harris’pany is her money.”


    The curve of Mnie’s lips suddenly shrunk. Her blinking slowed then stopped as she looked at Kara.


    “The half a billion you guys are going to give... is Kara’s money?”


    While Mnie was stunned, wondering how rich her daughter-inw was, Paul grabbed Kara’s fingers.


    “Thank you very much, Mrs. Harper. That’s very kind of you. Now | understand why Frank loves you so much. You''re a great


    woman!”


    Kara’s smile turned stiff. She never liked being overly ttered like that. “If you want to thank me, please prove that | didn’t


    mistrust you.”


    “Sure. Thanks again.”

    While Paul continued to nod in front of Kara, Mnie grimaced in disgust. Her heart was hot. She was annoyed that someone


    else took her title and fortune.


    ‘Really? She’s a great woman? She has that much money just


    because of an inheritance. That’s not something to be proud of,”


    Mnie sneered to herself.


    Suddenly, Frank put his arm around Kara’s shoulder. “This business can continue tomorrow. Now, how about we have dinner?


    The


    children must be impatient.”


    Kara nodded. Still with a sweet smile, she looked at Paul. “How about


    you eat here tonight?”


    Paul was taken aback. His eyes turned towards his wife.


    “It''s a shame, Paul already has another agenda. Hispany is still in chaos. There’s a lot to take care of,” Mnie interrupted.


    Paul smiled wryly. “Right. I... still have things to do. Maybe another


    time.”


    Before Paul could say anything further, Mnie grabbed his arm. ” Now if you''ll excuse us, there’s something | want to talk to my


    husband about before he leaves.”


    Frank and Kara stared wide eyed. Their mouths were open, wanting to say good bye. However, Paul was no longer paying


    attention to them. He was overwhelmed by Mnie’s rough tugging.


    “Hey, can’t you be gentler? Your son can’t see us anymore.” Paul jerked his arm away as they descended the stairs.


    “| don’t care. Your business is finished. Get out of here right now!”


    Seeing Mnie’s finger pointing towards the exit, Paul let out a quick sigh. “You kicked me out? Don’t you trust me anymore?

    Mnie clenched her jaw. “You leak it now, your half a billion is gone. You leak itter, you won''t get to see yourpany rise.”

    Seeing Paul’s smile as sincere as usual, Mnie shuddered in horror. | thought he was an innocent guy. Turns out he’s crazier


    than me? How could he possibly act normal after what happened?’


    Mnie clenched her teeth tightly. When they arrived outside the main door, she let go of Paul and then rubbed her palms as if


    there was dust stuck to them.


    “You think | still want to be with you?” she groaned with a look of disgust.


    Paul gasped. His expression became gloomy again. “What do your mean? Didn’t we agree not to divorce?”


    Mnie raised her chin and eyebrows. “You said yourself that we


    were even. | gave you half a billion, while you guarded the information. Let''s live our lives our own way.”


    Paul’s head snapped back. His eyes narrowed. He felt cheated.

    “What about Barbara? Do you have the heart to make her suffer?”


    Mnie folded her arms across her chest. The corner of her lips. pulled down her cheek. “In fact, she will suffer if she is near


    you.”


    “I''m her father!” Paul poked his own chest with his finger. His eyes. reddened.


    “A father who can’t meet her needs?”


    Paul took a breath and exhaled quickly. “I’ve earned half a billion, okay? Thepany will recover soon. Our lives will also be


    normal again. What are you worrying about?”


    “Haven''t you met my son and seen our life here? Is itparable to what you’ve given us all this time?”


    Laughing lightly, Mnie shook her head. “Sorry, I’d rather be here.”


    “I''ve got half a billion and soon, you''ll get a ton of gold. You''re still not satisfied?”


    Mnie sighed. “Never mind, Paul. Just ept your fate. You can’ support us anymore. Instead of yourpany going bankrupt


    again wouldn''t you rather let us go?”
