Aaron felt that what Patricia had said was impossible. His family was not easy for ordinary people to deal with nor could they afford to be provoked. Hence, he refused to let Chuck get back the 5 billion dollars or even 10 billion dollars.
It was easier said than done.
Even if Chuck had equal power as the Dawson family, or was perhaps even stronger, so what? Aaron firmly believed the Dawson family would not be afraid of him.
Thinking of this, he said, "Don't overthink. The 2.5 billion was compensated by that idiot, I won't give it back. How about I give you 500 million dollars? Or 1 billion?" Although Aaron was often beaten up by Patricia, he genuinely liked her from the bottom of his heart because he had been looking up to her since childhood.
As a result, he had always been obedient to her. But this time, it was 2.5 billion dollars! He really wanted to spend it recklessly, how could he possibly be willing to let go of it?
Although his family was wealthy, his father had never given him so much money!
"Shut up!" Patricia barked at him as she was unmoved. Now that she had graduated from college and took over half of the family's business, how would she care about the one billion dollars he had offered? In addition, even if it was Aaron's money, she would not want it either.
However, it was very dangerous to keep that money! Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Patricia felt that it must be returned.
"Sister..." Aaron begged her.
"Do you still want to refuse? You're trying to challenge my patience, aren't you?" Patricia snorted. Aaron covered his cheek quickly and said aggrievedly, "Sister, you are the president of the company of our family now. Why are you being so timid?"
"It's not that I'm timid. It's because you're too young to understand some matters." Patricia spoke gently, "You know where that plaza is located, right? Bring me there, I want to find out his background. But I'm warning you, you'd better bring along the money. There is no room for negotiation. Now, show me the way!"
Walking with her slender legs, Patricia then got into her car. Aaron had no choice but to listen to her and led the way.
Soon, Aaron took Patricia to City Square. After they entered the parking lot, both of them got out of the car. Patricia was looking around the plaza.
"Look, this plaza is lousy, isn't it? There is not even a compliment office building. Isn't it lousy?" Aaron said disdainfully. When Patricia was with him, he looked like a kid who had his parent by his side, which made him feel extra confident.
"Shut up, what are you looking at? The location of the plaza is very good, it has great prospects as well. It will definitely be a success in three to five years' time. Also, how do you know that there would be no office buildings? An office building could be built right over there," Patricia said as she pointed to an area ahead of them. Aaron shook his head, he didn't agree with her. It was not easy to build another office building.
She added, "Besides, did you notice that the plaza has strict management? They had their own way of managing, which is very comfortable. It's just a matter of time for this plaza to grow." Patricia could see that the plaza had bright prospects, its management was very unique as well, making it feel convenient for every customer. Additionally, they could enjoy the shopping experience over there. How could such a plaza not be able to grow?
"Sister, can you stop complimenting it?" Aaron curled his lips.
Patricia replied, "I'm not complimenting, but the person you're talking about has the ability and vision. He must be from a well-known family."
"Our Dawson family is famous too!" Aaron said as he felt unpleasant. Why was his sister always complimenting others?
"It's not the same. Our family has a long way to go from being one. You've no idea how a real well- known family could be," Patricia corrected him. She felt very helpless as Aaron couldn't understand all of this, being only a student.
"I do. It's just like our Dawson family, great and powerful!" Aaron said proudly.
Patricia frowned, "Are you going to continue being stubborn?"
Hearing her tone, Aaron trembled, covering his cheek and stopped speaking.
"Ask that person out. I want to see him in person!" Patricia felt obliged to do so. She didn't want to add an unknown enemy to her family.
"Sister, is that necessary?" Aaron asked as he was getting unhappy. If they met in person, he'd have to return the 2.5 billion dollars to Chuck. He was not willing to do so!
"Do as I say!" Patricia ordered fiercely. Aaron was scared, nodding his head. But he didn't have Chuck's number, so he could only ask from someone. He rang his classmates to see if he could get Chuck's number.
However, just then, Patricia suddenly saw a tall woman.
"Hey, such a beautiful woman!" Aaron also saw her. That woman was in a business suit, which outlined her perfect body.
"Sister, do you know her?" Aaron's eyes lit up as he asked. Although that woman looked like she was in her early thirties, which was much older than him, he was still attracted to her. She was even more attractive than the campus belle, Frieda, as her body shape was too charming.
"Yes, but I haven't met her before." Patricia frowned and looked at him, scolding, "Stop being a playboy. If you ever disrespect a woman, I will give you a lesson!"
"Sister, don't worry about me. Who is that beautiful woman?" Aaron asked curiously.
"Her name is Quinn Miller, and she is quite a well-known investor. She had an estimated net worth of 10 billion dollars," Patricia answered.
Yes, She was Quinn, who'd just come back from Floriland. She came to Chuck's plaza subconsciously. She didn't even know the reason she was here. She just wanted to look around and visit Chuck.
"Ten billion dollars?" Aaron was very surprised and he gasped, "What is she here for?"
"Perhaps she happens to know the Chuck who you mentioned," Patricia analyzed. Then, she said, "Why are you still staring at her? Why don't you contact that person? I'm warning you, if you ever use a penny of the 2.5 billion dollars, I'll break your leg!"
Aaron shivered with fear and did not dare to look at Quinn anymore. He was busy trying to get Chuck's number.
But then, he thought of that cafe and Lara, thinking that she should know Chuck's number. Thus, he said, "Sister, wait a minute, I'll ask someone for his number."
Aaron ran to Lara's cafe. Patricia looked back and continued staring at Quinn from a distance, muttering to herself, "Even a person like you shows up here. What kind of background Chuck has? 2.5 billion dollars... If he can take out 2.5 billion dollars in a few minutes, he must have an asset not less than 50 billion dollars. No, it would be more than 100 billion dollars. Who exactly are you. Chuck?"
After a while, Aaron ran back. He had just asked Lara for Chuck's number and she gave it to him, assuming that he was looking for Chuck for some reason.
"Sister, I got his phone number. You should make the call, I don't want to do it." Aaron gave the number to his sister distressfully. Patricia looked at the number and took out her phone. Aaron grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, think it over again. It's 2.5 billion dollars! Do you really want me to return it? Are you really so cruel?"
"Let go," Patricia glared at him and said with an overbearing tone.
Aaron hurriedly let go of her hand and put on a sour face.
Then, Patricia made the call.
......
Before Heather came out of her trance, Chuck had already paid the bill and bought the Lincoln Navigator. It was really 2.5 billion dollars, he was too rich. Her colleagues were shocked too when she told them that event.
They'd misjudged him. Chuck looked very ordinary after all. Who would have thought that such a person could not only transfer 2.5 billion dollars to others but also make a full payment for a car which cost more than one million dollars?
Heather informed him, "Mr. Cannon, please hold on for a moment. After the procedures are completed, you're free to take the car." That car was in stock and Chuck had paid in full amount, so he could take the car directly and get a car plate number after a few days.
Chuck shrugged in response.
Heather was jealous of Yolanda. He had bought the car in full payment and registered it under Yolanda's name. That was for Yolanda. It turned out that Chuck was, in fact, her boss.
Then, was she his secretary? Or something else?
"Do you want to have a look at other cars?" Heather asked eagerly. It was her first sale in that month. If she managed to sell another car, she would be elated.
"No need," Chuck replied as he didn't want to buy the same brand. Yolanda already had it, thus, he didn't have to buy another one for himself. He thought that it would be better to buy a Benz G-class.
Heather was a little disappointed. She felt that she should've been more polite to Chuck. After that, she went and served drinks for Chuck. When Chuck and Yolanda were waiting, Chuck's phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. It was from an unknown number. Who could it be?
