“Six… over sixty billion?” Rachel felt a bit dizzy; she had never heard of so much money before. The TV at home had been broken for a while, and they hadn’t bothered to fix it. Otherwise, they would have discovered that the person was Aoife much earlier.
“Does that brat really have over sixty billion?”
“Absolutely, you can’t fake what’s found online. Now that she’s so rich, Mom, let’s go find her. Then her money will be ours.”
Yes, Aoife’s money belongs to the Powell family. Even if she changes her household registration and name, she is still part of the Powell family.
Rachel, trying to conceal her joy with anger, thought to herself, “Raising Aoife was truly in vain. Finding the money and not coming back… does she also plan to keep it all to herself?”
“Mom, let’s go find her now, but we can’t let anyone know. Once we get to Chiwood, if she doesn’t show up, we’ll make a scene online. A star like her can’t withstand a scandal.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you. You hold on to the wealth, I’ll pack our bags and call your dad. We’ll go together.”
With Aoife already having tens of billions, they naturally had to go to Chiwood immediately. After all, Aoife’s money is the Powell family’s money and should naturally be managed by her parents.
Matthew still thought Aoife was soft-hearted. She had been afraid of him since she was a child, but it couldn’t be ruled out that she had a wild side outside.
Christopher was working in the fields, and after receiving his son’s call, he hurried back. He was overjoyed beyond belief. He had never dreamed that Aoife could make a fortune outside.
It was like burning incense at the grave, over sixty billion for nothing but farming. They couldn’t spend it all even if they lay around all day.
“If we were to get all sixty billion, how would we spend it?” Christopher asked.
Greed appeared in the eyes of the family.
“Let me think,” Rachel squinted her eyes, with a calculating gleam in them. “With this much money, we should definitely buy more houses and shops in big cities to do business. Then a car for each of us. Matthew should also find a new wife. With so much money, any girl from a wealthy family would be at his disposal.”
“As for here, why don’t we build a big villa? We could also retire and show off in front of those who look down on us.”
Rachel was a cunning and selfish person. She was not worthy of being a mother. She favored her son over her daughter. In her eyes, her son was reliable, even if he loafed around all day, while her daughter, no matter how outstanding, was just water thrown out once married, belonging to another family. Only her son was truly dependable.
As long as Aoife had no partner and hadn’t married, her personal property naturally belonged to her parents. If she married, they wouldn’t be able to get their hands on the money.
But which woman doesn’t get married? Instead of letting Aoife choose for herself, it would be better to marry her off under their supervision, so they could forever control her earnings.
Matthew also thought the same and directly voiced his thoughts, “Mom, to prevent Aoife from slipping away, I think when we go over there this time, we should arrange a marriage for her as soon as we get the money and keep an eye on her.”
“That makes sense. When the time comes, you can find a reliable family for your sister, someone who can keep an eye on her.”
The family had not even seen the person yet, but they were already planning to sell Aoife. Their revealed faces were more disgusting one after another.
The family of four set off with all their belongings and took a bus to the county town. Inside the bus, the TV was on, playing “Revenge and Love,” and the passengers were engrossed in it.
Matthew quickly reminded his parents to watch the TV and discreetly pointed at it, “Look, it’s our sister.”
Many on the bus had seen “Revenge and Love.”
“I like the actress who plays Bay the most, she’s really beautiful. I’ve watched her on TV two or three times and I’m still not tired of it.”
Hearing the person beside her, Rachel interjected, “Is this actress who plays Bay very famous?”
“Of course she is. This TV series is so popular. It can make millions in a day. Actors can make over a million for each episode. This actress named Elisa is really popular.”
The Powell family grew more confident that they would find Aoife and take the money from her.
…
When “Revenge and Love” aired on various TV stations, Elisa had already hired someone to keepan eye on the Powell family. She had thought there would be news after four or five episodes, but unexpectedly, it was only halfway through when she received news of their family heading to Chiwood.
Elisa arranged for someone to continue monitoring them. She thought Aoife’s despicable parents were savvy only when they were in the village. Once they left, they probably wouldn’t even be able to find their way. Such people were best to deceive.
As for Matthew, truth be told, he bore some resemblance to his brother Ivan from a past life, equally indulging in vices. The Powell family’s poverty was definitely linked to Matthew.
It wouldn’t make sense not to deceive such people into losing a few million in underground gambling dens.
Subsequently, the Powell family transferred from the bus to the train. Several of them were riding a train for the first time. Train tickets were more expensive than bus tickets, but they would soon be wealthy and wouldn’t care about such things.
If they knew how to book plane tickets, they would have definitely flown. But when they returned, they would definitely fly. Someone as wealthy as Aoife should have a private jet, right?
Perhaps the air on the train was too stuffy, but Michael had been crying non-stop since boarding the train, disturbing the entire carriage of passengers who couldn’t sleep.
