Chapter 264: Uncle, How Many Bills Make Up Three Hundred Thousand?
As soon as Hazel finished speaking, Logan shot her a cold glare. “If you keep quiet, no one will think you’re mute!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Marie and Asher also looked displeased, but since it was Tina’s first visit, they didn’t want to make the situation too awkward and chose not to comment. Logan’s presence alone was enough to handle the situation.
Receiving their glances, Hazel raised an eyebrow. “Why are you all looking at me? No matter how valuable this bracelet is, can it be worth more than Imperial Green?”
She turned her gaze to Tina with a condescending attitude. “Tina, it’s good that you found an Imperial Green in the stone gambling market, but you shouldn’t have hidden it. I heard you used Jared’s money. Such a valuable item should be given to your grandfather as a sign of respect. Keeping it for yourself is too selfish.”
Tina glanced at her and took a sip of tea nonchalantly. “Who told you I used Mr. Farrell’s money?”
Hazel was momentarily stunned and then frowned. “Are you lying? Many people saw Jared giving you the money. What? You don’t want to give the Imperial Green to the Farrell family, so you’re making excuses? If it wasn’t Jared’s money, whose was it? Yours?”
Before Tina could respond, Hazel sneered. “I’m not being harsh, but you need to know your place. You’ve lived in the countryside all your life; you’ve probably never even seen three hundred thousand dollars.”
“Three hundred thousand dollars,” Tina leaned back in her chair, legs crossed, and looked amusedly at Jared Farrell. “Uncle, how many bills make up three hundred thousand dollars?”
Jared Farrell smiled indulgently. “Probably a lot. I’ve never counted them. Do you want to count them, Tina?”
Tina’s eyes crinkled with laughter. “No need; I’m just a country girl who’s never seen such wealth.”
Jared Farrell’s smile grew brighter as he held Tina’s hand tenderly. “Don’t mind shallow people like her. My Tina is a rich woman; I’ll rely on you from now on.”
These fools only saw him paying for his girl but didn’t notice that she used her own global limited black card for the payment.
If they knew about that card, they might die of anger!
“Sure!” Tina grinned. “I’ll feed you one bun a day and make sure you’re well-fed!”
Hazel was furious seeing Tina ignoring her and flirting with Jared Farrell. “Tina, what kind of attitude is this? I’m talking about the Imperial Green, and you’re babbling about three hundred thousand dollars!”
“Shut up!” Logan suddenly roared in anger. “Tina found the Imperial Green because of her own skills. Why are you all so fixated on it?”
Then he turned to Tina with a curious expression. “Tina, why do I feel like wearing this bracelet calms me down?”
Usually, his anger could burn down houses and lift roofs.
But now he felt his rage being suppressed and his mood becoming much more peaceful.
Even looking at these foolish juniors didn’t make him want to kick them away.
He knew anything marked with Spectre was valuable but didn’t expect it to be this effective.
Tina smiled gently at him. “Isn’t that good? It prevents you from getting too worked up and harming your health.”
Logan fondly touched the bracelet on his wrist. “Ah, this is a treasure! I must show it off to Muff!”
Tina sighed inwardly.
“Father, how can you say that?” Hazel protested indignantly. “We’re all your grandchildren, but you’re too biased towards Jared! He can easily get three billion dollars for his fiancee while Nathaniel can’t even buy a car because you control his funds too tightly.”
Although the Farrell family was the top family, Logan controlled the finances.
Each of their four households held five percent shares and received annual dividends with a monthly allowance of one million dollars from Logan-no more unless there were emergencies.
But Jared Farrell was different; Logan would give him tens of millions without hesitation-this time even three billion-and said nothing about it.
Anyone would feel unfairly treated.
Besides, Logan had publicly announced Jared Farrell as his heir.
How could that be?
Not just Logan’s sons but also his grandsons were better than Jared Farrell.
Even the youngest grandson Orson had been an e-sports champion for three consecutive years.
What did Jared Farrell have? Nothing!
Handing over the Farrell family to him would lead to its downfall!
Logan gave Hazel a cold look. “Biased? How dare you say that?”
“Isn’t it true?” Hazel retorted.
Arthur glared at her. “Enough! Stop talking!”
“Why shouldn’t I talk?” Hazel’s emotions flared up suddenly. “Father doesn’t just have one son or one grandson named Jared Farrell! Nathaniel is older than Jared but still doesn’t have a suitable partner because Father never worried about him!”
“But for Jared Farrell,” she continued angrily, “Father attended his engagement party personally and gave him so much money for his fiancee! Have you ever considered our feelings?”
At this point, Clara-Alexander’s wife-who had remained silent until now spoke up calmly. “Hazel is right! Father, I don’t mind you giving Jared money but treat all your grandsons equally!”
She sat upright with an indifferent tone. “You gave Jared three billion; each grandson should get the same amount!”
“Bang!” Logan slammed the table furiously. “What? Are you rebelling against me?”
“We’re not rebelling!” Hazel countered defiantly. “We just want fairness for all grandsons!”
“You want fairness?” Logan was initially very angry but felt calmer since wearing the bracelet.
He scanned everyone before focusing on Hazel again. “You want me to give Nathaniel three billion? What has he done to deserve it? He spends most of his time partying and brought shame upon our family by associating with Amber before now entangling with Lisa-a gaudy woman who does nothing but indulge in pleasures.”
“I…”
Hazel tried explaining but Logan cut her off sharply: “And Ronan spends all his time tinkering with motorcycles while your household gets five billion annually from company profits yet wastes two billion on him alone! What fairness do you seek?”
