In a five-star Western restaurant, a single meal could cost over ten thousand. The dinner that Hamish took her to must have cost at least two hundred thousand.
When the Powell Group was still around, Ivan didn’t have a job, and all his pocket money came from the stocks he had on hand or from asking her for it.
Now that the Powell Group was gone, she didn’t expect him to be able to come to a place like this. Judging from his appearance, it seemed like he had been living quite comfortably these past few months.
Elisa involuntarily opened her mouth when she saw him. The word “brother” got stuck in her throat like a sharp stone.
Ivan was intimately embracing a woman, and their relationship was clearly not ordinary.
Seemingly aware of her gaze, Ivan looked up and was surprised to see Elisa. Then a look of resentment and impatience flashed in his eyes.
Ivan said something to the woman in his arms, and she disdainfully looked at Elisa following his gaze.
Whatever he said, it couldn’t have been kind words. Elisa turned to leave, but Ivan suddenly spoke up.
“Oh, isn’t this my little sister? What are you doing here?”
Elisa’s face turned unpleasant, and her feet felt as if they were glued to the ground, unable to move. She forced herself to gather her spirits and replied, “If you can be here, why can’t I?”
Ivan looked Elisa up and down, feeling extremely unsettled by the stark contrast. Why was Elisa able to live so well after ruining the Powell family?
Look at her dress made of shattered diamonds and the exquisite jewelry around her neck. The total value of this outfit alone was no less than seven figures.
“It seems Hamish is taking good care of you,” he sneered.
Elisa couldn’t be bothered to respond and casually touched her earlobe, saying, “It’s not a matter of being taken care of. I haven’t divorced him yet.”
“Using these means, after all, you’re just a bitch, trash.”
Without wasting any time, he spent his days living a debauched life, thinking that he would become more honest after the Powell family was gone. But looking at the bracelet on the woman’s hand in his arms, as well as the necklace and earrings around her neck, it was clear that he hadn’t changed at all.
The woman clinging to Ivan’s arm chimed in, “Isn’t that right? I just saw it trending online. The president of Burns Group bid 520 million for a piece of land to build an amusement park for her.”
Upon hearing this, Ivan’s jealousy surged even stronger.
The woman continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, “Your sister doesn’t seem like a sister at all. She sold her own company to her husband and is now living a luxurious and enjoyable life. As for you, the so-called older brother, even though you were also a part of the Powell Group, just look at the life you’re living after its downfall.”
“Take another look at your sister. She’s quite capable. I even suspect that she intentionally transferred the Powell Group to Hamish.”
Ivan gritted his teeth, his eyes almost spewing fire.
“Elisa, I should have let Dad kill you back then. You, a white-eyed wolf, colluded with an outsider and swallowed the Powell family’s fortune. Grandfather was blind to have entrusted the company to you!”
Elisa’s gaze sharpened, and she sneered, “If not to me, then to you?”
Ivan remained silent, but the woman standing beside him spoke up, “It should have been entrusted to Ivan. It’s only natural for a man to manage the family business. Ivan is the legitimate heir of the Powell Group, and if he had taken over, things would never have turned out like this.”
Yes, things would never have turned out like this. In less than two years, he managed to squander everything-people and wealth.
Old Powell had given Ivan a chance, but he ended up spending money on debauchery, women, and gambling. He never took the company seriously for a single day. Who would trust him with the family fortune?
A faint smile curved on Elisa’s lips, and she disdainfully glanced at the woman. “Does your opinion matter when it comes to Powell family matters?”
