Chapter 38: She Felt Alone
Upon hearing this, Robert and the others were dumbfounded. Although they didn’t embezzle as much as Ena, they still embezzled a considerable amount.
If you get caught, paying tens of millions in compensation is the bare minimum.
He might even end up in jail.
Robert’s hand holding the phone was trembling, and his face was flushed red. He never expected that Jerry, who had always been submissive, would be so ruthless.
Ena screamed, “Mom and Dad! Look! Is he even speaking human language?”
“We are his blood relatives, and he actually wants to sue us!”
She snatched the phone and yelled angrily, “Are you even human? We’re all family, so what if I take some money from the company?”
“Which family’s houses, cars, food, and entertainment aren’t paid for with company money?”
“When my girlfriends go out to play, which one of them doesn’t go to the company to get reimbursed with receipts?”
But before she could finish speaking, her phone beeped.
Jerry had already hung up the phone.
Robert slammed his fist on the table in anger: “This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous!”
“I thought he was just throwing a little tantrum, I didn’t expect him to go this far!”
“How could I, Robert, have given birth to such a beastly son?”
“What a tragedy! I should never have brought him home!” Laxmi covered her face and cried, slapping her thighs repeatedly.
“I knew he was an orphan who had no manners and hung out with those lowlifes all the time. No wonder he’s so vicious.”
“Now he’s so heartless that he’s even harming his own family.”
“Then, what should we do? If he’s determined to pursue this, I’ll be imprisoned because of him.” The older sister looked panicked.
Just then, Laxmi’s phone rang.
She quickly answered the phone and turned on the speakerphone. Jacob’s voice came through: “Mom, I have something to do this afternoon. Could you help me reply to some fans online? You can use your account.”
Laxmi was flattered: “Okay, okay, you can go ahead and do your work without worry, Mom is here.”
“Dad ... I want to buy something, it might cost over fifty million.” Jacob said matter-of-factly, “When are you going to transfer the money?”
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at Laxmi’s phones.
To buy something that costs more than 50 million.
“Fifty million is no small sum. What do you want to buy?” Robert asked with a smile.
“I’m auctioning off an ancient painting, and I’m thinking of publishing an album titled ‘Lost National Treasures,’” Jacob said pitifully.
“Because this original ancient painting has been lost overseas for a long time, it was not easy to get news about it.”
“If we had the original ancient painting in hand, this album would definitely be a bestseller.”
“Moreover, it can significantly boost my influence in the entertainment industry, and may even make me the number one trending topic.”
“This is too expensive!” Robert frowned.
“And where can you find ancient paintings?”
“I’ve heard that any famous ancient painting is worth hundreds of millions.”
“Be careful not to buy a fake.”
Jacob’s voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction: “Aren’t you willing to support my cause?”
“Some experts have identified it as fake, while others have identified it as genuine, and the debate continues.”
“The only way is to send a portion for authentication, but the seller is too afraid to gamble, so they put it up for auction with a starting price of only ten million.”
“I’ve studied it, and this ancient painting is most likely genuine. If we manage to sell it at auction, we’ll make a fortune.”
“A full fifty million, we need to be careful.” Robert frowned and took a deep breath.
Laxmi glared at him, then smiled lovingly and took the phone: “It’s just fifty million, right? Mom believes in you. We will definitely support your career.”
She subconsciously said, “Let me make a call and have Jerry give you fifty million.”
He was stunned when he heard those words. Jerry has already fallen out with him, so how could he possibly give him money?
Because she had a habit of asking Jerry for money before, she blurted it out here.
Jacob’s voice turned angry: “Brother has changed now, how could he possibly be willing to give us fifty million?”
“That damned beast! What an ingrate!” Robert cursed.
