Chapter 387 How Much Money Did You Have (Part One)


    From the moment Ca returned, Terence had always been by her side, making it a point to get back


    home early and have lunch with her every single day.


    Perhaps if you experienced losing someone once, you would be able to fully realize the euphoria you


    can enjoy from each other''s presence.


    "Why did you suddenly start drawing again? Didn''t the doctor advise you to stay in bed and get some


    rest?"


    Stepping out of the elevator, Terence walked up to Ca who was currently sitting in front of a drawing


    board.


    "Give me a break! I just picked up the paint brush and then you appeared out of nowhere. I haven''t


    even begun painting yet!" Pulling a face, Ca immediately put down the paintbrush she was holding.


    Since he''s now here, Ca could no longer focus on her painting.


    "Why do you keep telling me to take a rest? Considering the fact that our home has an elevator, I


    barely even walk on the floor now. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you''re scared I might end up


    exhausting myself because I picked up a paintbrush?" sheined.


    Putting on a false disy of anger, Terence moved closer to her. Raising his hand, he intended to pinch


    her tiny lips. However, he didn''t have it in him to do something like that, so he simply nted a kiss on


    her lips instead. Giving her an affectionate gaze, a tinge of a smile crept up onto his face.


    "I love hearing you say the word ''our''. It makes me believe that our home, our children, and most of all,


    our future will be filled with so much happiness!" Terence softly said.


    His words seemed to have given her a sense of warmth. Feeling embarrassed, she pushed him away


    as her face flushed red. Ca just said those words without giving it much thought, not knowing that


    he''d end up using them against her to tease her.


    "Oh, by the way, you mentioned something about wanting toe to HA City to visit me that day. What


    did you want to see me for?" she asked.


    The truth was that she intended to bring up that matter a long time ago, but it was just that it always


    slipped her mind.


    Lifting her up from the stool right in front of the easel, he went ahead and carried her over to the sofa.


    Promptlyying her head against his chest, he answered, "I was actually meaning to inform you about


    the merger case between the Hua Group and L Company. But something else came up, so I didn''t get


    the chance to tell you about it."


    "The merger case? Why? What''s the matter?" Ca asked, feeling curious. Leaning her head onto his


    shoulder, she kept staring at his entrancing jaw line.


    "Noah was very eager to win the case because he had his eyes set on expanding the Hua Group. Ever


    since he took office, he hasn''t been able to produce any results at all. For that reason, the case was


    one of the biggest moves he wanted to aplish for his business to flourish. Against all odds, he still


    gave his all in order to finalize the merger case. Even if he has to start from the bottom again, he''s


    bound to get to the top soon enough!" Terence exined.


    Fidgeting with his cor, Ca remarked, "I see. It is indeed true that Noah has big ns and is


    determined to achieve great things. I''ve heard about the merger case before. It''s going to have a


    significant effect on the business if he can manage to pull through with that merger case."


    "But, he won''t seed,"


    Terence eximed, with a faint smile appearing on his face.


    "Why do you think so?" Ca asked purely out of curiosity.


    "It''s because the AJ Group has already acquired the L Company. The information still hasn''t been


    made avable to the general public, so only a select few is privy to that fact."


    "Really ?"


    Leaning away from his chest, Ca stared at him, with utter surprise written all over her face, and


    asked, "Why didn''t you mentioned that to me? I even made an effort to browse through the materials


    associated with the L Company and tried to lend the Hua Group a hand so they could win the case.

    How could you..."


    "I did it with you in my mind. Yes, it''s true. I acquired the L Company, but I didn''t take over any of the


    positions. Do you understand what I''m trying to say?"


    Terence asked, looking straight into her eyes. Then, an endearing smile appeared across his face.


    "I didn''t want Noah to seed because I wanted to personally hand the L Company over to you as a


    present. As long as the Hua family agrees to announce your real identity to the public, I will entrust the


    L Company to them as a betrothal present."


    Terence''s exnation had left Capletely dumbfounded and her mouth wide open.


    To be fair, how could she not react in that way? Given that she had tagged along to one of the meetings


    once before, she was aware that the Hua Group was nning to offer 1.8 billion dors to acquire the L


    Company, but they still didn''t seed. So, just how much did Terence possibly...


    "What? Terence, how much did you offer to make them willingly hand over the L Company?"


    Ca asked, gritting her teeth just a little.


    "It wasn''t much. Just 3 billion dors,"


    Terence answered with a straight face.


    Squeezing his cheeks in great disbelief, Ca yelled, "Have you lost your mind? We were nning to


    purchase the L Company for just around 1.8 billion. At most, you should''ve just added a few hundred


    million on top of that. How could you throw away your money just like that?"


    Despite knowing the Terence was filthy rich, Ca still thought that it was wrong of him to mindlessly


    spend money. When the time woulde for the two of them getting married, everything that belongs


    to him would belong to her as well. So, how could he pour their money down the drain so easily?


    Suddenly, Terence burst into a fit ofughter. Holding her hands tight, he told her, "If I want to seal the


    deal in the shortest possible time, it''s a given that I should offer them a considerably higher amount. On


    top of that, as far as the AJ Group is concerned, if a certainpany is worth less than five billion, then


    it could be considered one of those run-of-the-mill businesses. So, it''s not really that big of a deal


    whatsoever."


    Pausing for a moment, he added, "And you can rest assured that my team has done a bit of


    background check on them. As long as thepany is running well, it''s certain to reach the break-


    even point after about three years of operation. So, it is still a reasonable deal."
