“10 billion dollars? When did this happen?” Shannon bit her lip, her voice soft and affected. “Ranita… I’m just trying to be helpful. You don’t have to be so stubborn. Where did you get 10 billion dollars from anyway…”
When Ranita married into the Stuart family, everyone knew she came from humble beginnings and that her parents were peasants. She was studying alone in Kurima when she entered Boulderland Mansion, where Amiya demanded that she not contact her family so as not to embarrass herself. Ranita obediently never returned home to see her parents.
“Mrs. Stuart didn’t tell you?” Ranita threw the question back at Amiya, whose face had already turned dark with anger as she gritted her teeth and glared at Ranita, “Ranita, don’t act like a know-it-all.”
“I’m not acting like anything; it’s just a fact,” replied Ranita.
Amiya was well aware that it was a genuine ten billion US dollars! Enough to ensure Ranita’s worry-free and prosperous life forever! The mere thought of it intensified Amiya’s hatred for Wyatt. Even in death, he sided with outsiders and gratuitously handed over so much money.
What made it worse was that this person was Ranita, whom she detested the most!
Although the charity auction was said to be an auction, it was essentially a donation, and the items brought forth were just symbolic. Shannon’s pair of brooches were successfully auctioned off at a high price, giving Shannon considerable pride.
Ranita didn’t bring any auction items.
However, she made a direct and substantial donation, infuriating Amiya, wishing she could strangle Ranita on the spot. It was the Stuart family’s money, and Ranita had spent it recklessly! Not just 10 million, but 100 million!
Ranita sure was audacious!
“Ranita, you spend money like there’s no tomorrow!”
“Mrs. Stuart, who doesn’t feel a pinch when spending money? But these funds can help many unfortunate children and women. I believe Grandpa would have supported it!” Pausing for a moment, Ranita smirked and added, “Grandpa used to be actively involved in charity, donating much more than this!”
Amiya was infuriated, her vision clouded, and her tone filled with resentment. “Ranita, if you have the ability, earn your own money and donate! Spending the money from our Stuart family, what does that make you?”
They had long torn off the pretense and were not beating around the bush.
Ranita smiled faintly, her eyes full of indifference. “Mrs. Stuart, your words are unfair! Is the money written under the Stuart family’s name, or is it written under Mrs. Stuart’s name? How can it be considered the Stuart family’s?”
“Ranita, a small-minded person!”
Amiya’s throat felt itchy; she couldn’t vent her frustration. Her emotions were becoming increasingly volatile. She wanted to recover the money, but the entire legal team, not to mention the notarized will of Wyatt, posed a significant challenge.
“Mrs. Stuart, please don’t get angry! Your health is not good. If you get upset and it affects your health, you might blame me!”
“Hehe! Ranita… I knew you, this ungrateful woman, couldn’t be tamed! Brendon should see your despicable face! Let him know how disrespectful you are to your elders, utterly lacking in manners!”
Amiya was extremely angry, on the verge of swearing. However, surrounded by wealthy women, she had to hold back her anger.
Ranita chuckled.
Her laughter was quite carefree.
“Why are you laughing?” Amiya snapped.
Ranita’s laughter tapered off, and she straightened her back to look at Amiya, her tone cold. “Mrs. Stuart, in the past, I tolerated you out of respect for Brendon, not wanting to make things difficult for him.”
“Now, what gives you the audacity to point fingers at me?”
“You…” Amiya couldn’t catch her breath in one go, her body trembling violently…
