Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Dissatisfied with the Project I Gave You?
Ivana’s card was given by Leon Keane, it contains a dowry of one hundred million.
Timmy looked at Ivana in shock, when did mommy become so rich?
Ian Keane’s dark eyes remained calm, his thin lips slightly curved, mommy bought it just right, Grandpa Quill will like this birthday gift because Grandpa Quill most despises his calligraphy being sold cheaply in the market.
The price of this calligraphy that Grandpa Quill wrote when he was young has reached twenty-five million, selling it for twenty million is a giveaway.
Jean Shaw left the hospital and returned home.
As soon as she entered, she heard Michelle Monroe complaining.
"Mom, where did you go? Why are you back so late? I’m starving."
"Can’t you order delivery yourself?"
"You haven’t given me money recently, how do I have the money to order delivery?" Michelle mumbled under her breath.
If she had money, given her nature, she definitely wouldn’t have come back tonight, her heart was thoroughly broken, because without money in hand, she couldn’t afford to stay in fancy hotels outside nor eat luxurious seafood dinners.
Michelle’s stomach was growling with hunger, she hadn’t had a seafood feast in many days, especially now when she was hungry, the craving in her stomach was unstoppable.
"Mom, let’s go eat a seafood feast tonight... Ah~ Ghost~"
Michelle screamed like she saw a ghost when she saw Jean’s turned face.
Jean’s eardrums were almost pierced by Michelle’s voice, she glared and said: "What ghost? I am your mother."
Michelle patted her chest, upon closer inspection, this face with crisscrossed red marks was indeed her mom.
"Mom, what’s with your face? Who scratched it? Did you get compensation?" To scratch like this, the other party should pay quite a bit of money, right?
Michelle knew her mother well, not someone to suffer losses, for someone to scratch her mother’s face this way, that person better be ready to bleed money.
Mentioning this made Jean furious: "Isn’t it those bitches from the Kane family manor?"
Michelle was surprised: "Mom, you went to the Kane family manor?"
In some ways, Michelle’s response was quick, like a dog’s nose, able to sniff out the smell of money from Jean. Her mother going to the Kane family manor was surely for money.
Jean had a stifled feeling in her heart, she couldn’t hold back anymore, she told Michelle about the incident at the Kane family manor.
After listening, Michelle felt both jealous and disappointed.
Because Jean’s tone had already made it clear that Leon Keane gave Ivana’s dowry to Caleb Monroe, so when her father went over today, he flew into a rage, directly hitting her and mom, and forcing the mother-daughter duo to kneel and apologize in front of that old bastard.
Michelle was disappointed in Jean for being useless, didn’t manage to get any money from Leon’s mother.
Not only didn’t she get anything, but she also came back with a scarred face.
"Mom, your face was scratched like this by the Kane family’s bitches, you can’t just let this go, we need to ask Leon’s mother for compensation, we call the police, let the police get justice for us, maybe if the police go to the Kane family manor, Leon’s mother won’t want to lose face and will give you compensation." Michelle thought this idea was pretty good.
Jean’s eyes turned and she finally rejected it: "Call the police? I want to leverage the injury on my face to make a big deal out of Leon’s mother."
Michelle immediately got excited: "How do you plan to do it?"
Jean laughed coldly: "I want to wait until Leon and Ivana’s wedding, with the injury on my face, to crash their wedding, not only will I prevent that bitch Ivana from getting married, but I will also make Leon’s mother and Leon lose face in front of all the Keane family’s relatives because of Ivana this bride."
Caleb, you took Ivana’s dowry without sharing half with me, like your conscience was eaten by a dog, raised your mistress and kids, I want you to lose Leon Keane this backing forever.
Not only that, but I also want Leon Keane to hate you.
Hearing this, Michelle was as excited as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
"Mom, you’re so clever." She was so jealous of Ivana, her eyes were red with jealousy, that bitch Ivana ruined her wedding, and now there’s finally a chance to get revenge.
"Maybe Leon and Leon’s mother can behave shamelessly at home, but in front of all the relatives, they definitely want to save face, by then the compensation amount will be up to me to decide, won’t it?" Jean’s smug little abacus was going off, she had thought about it, if she couldn’t get a billion, then shouldn’t her face be worth at least fifty million?
If Leon and Leon’s mother don’t even give her fifty million, then they might risk being the laughingstock and being despised by all the relatives.
Michelle asked Jean, how much compensation is she planning to ask for?
Jean didn’t say.
Michelle suddenly felt a chill, her mom was too cunning, even guarding against her? No problem, she’ll go that day too, she’ll stick to her mother, not letting her mother have the chance to negotiate alone with Leon’s mother, Leon.
"Mom, I’m hungry, let’s go out and have a seafood feast to celebrate!"
"What seafood feast? Your mom doesn’t have much money left, just about to run out of food, order a 60 yuan delivery, the two of us will eat, remember not to order spicy, the doctor said I can’t eat spicy, and no soy sauce either."
Michelle felt nauseous hearing about a 60 yuan delivery.
"I’m not eating, I want a seafood feast."
"Fine, don’t eat, I’ll order it myself, you stay hungry."
"..."
~~
The next day.
Leon Keane made a phone call to Caleb Monroe.
Caleb, seeing the call was from Leon, his old hand shook, he nervously answered the phone, and before he could greet, an extremely cold voice came through.
"Not satisfied with the project I gave you? Hmm?"
Caleb was stunned, not understanding why Leon would ask this?
He chuckled awkwardly: "Satisfied, satisfied, extremely satisfied."
Leon continued: "Satisfied on the surface, but not in your heart? So last night, you let your wife go disturb my mother? Ask my mother to give her a dowry of one billion?"
Caleb’s face changed drastically, a dowry of one billion? Jean Shaw must have gone crazy thinking about money? How could she utter such an astronomical figure?
The project Leon gave Caleb was very good, could earn at least tens of millions a year, if done well, even more. Caleb had finally almost been able to hold his head up in front of those friends who sneered at him, he no longer had to worry about money, also able to earn money to support his mistress and the unborn son he loved to the core.
He was now very afraid Leon would get angry and suddenly take back this project.
Caleb immediately pledged his loyalty: "President Kane, that’s absolutely not my intention, I had no idea Jean, that damned old woman, would dare go to your mother’s manor and cause trouble."
Caleb even had the thought of throttling Jean on the spot.
Leon’s fingers tapped carelessly on the desk, the low tapping sound transmitted to Caleb’s ear.
Caleb’s heart fluttered up and down with it.
Leon said slowly: "My mother is very angry, feels Ivana has been led astray by her stepmother, now strongly opposes me marrying her."
