Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 75
“There’s…”
Just as Floch tried to figure out a reply, Elizabeth suddenly poinied out, “At the very least, there should be a minimum of three to five million for it to be acceptable.”
“Three to five…?” Rachel froze and her tears halted all of a sudden. She turned back to glance at Elizabeth, but she didn’t dare to say a word despite her anger. On the contrary, she went along and nodded with an apologetic smile. “You’re right, Old Mrs. Kings. You’re quite right indeed.”
However, Floch didn’t pay much heed and he instantly lied through his teeth. “Yeah, I think so too. There is about three million in there. The money is compensation for the poor girl.”
He was quite the two-faced person and at that moment, he was utterly tempted to wring Veronica’s neck.
“You…”
Just then, Veronica lifted her hand to take the card and she was just about to say something when Elizabeth stood up abruptly and walked toward her. “Veronica, give the card to me and I’ll check the balance for you.”
Elizabeth was very insistent and she clearly showed that she was on Veronica’s side. The former’s action was an obvious indicator that she didn’t trust the Larson couple as she snubbed them directly.
Meanwhile, Veronica was stunned at first and soon after that, a wave of gratitude flooded her. Elizabeth is too kind to me! I must have been an exemplary human being in my past life to have been granted this encounter with her in this current life.
“Mr. Randall, call and check for the balance on this card.” Elizabeth handed over the card to her servant by the side and muttered, “We must be clear with matters that involve money. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if anything got mixed up.”
“Yes, of course. You’re definitely right!” Floch hastily agreed but he couldn’t control himself from wiping off the beads of sweat on his forehead guiltily as he regretted his actions.
Meanwhile, the servant named Mr. Randall took the card from Elizabeth and walked off to find out the balance.
On the other end, Elizabeth took a seat by Veronica’s side and she lovingly held the girl’s hand. With a doting look, she asked, “Are you hungry? You’ve been running around the whole day.”
Elizabeth’s expression of concern was exactly like a loving grandmother doting on her granddaughter.
The Larsons were quite frantic about the card but as soon as they noticed the tender moment between Elizabeth and Veronica, there was a glint in their eyes as they exchanged looks with each other. This was the reason why Rachel had stopped Floch in the past.
Previously, he had been prepared to get rid of Veronica, but Rachel had interjected and said that since Elizabeth doted on Veronica, then they should just directly announce Veronica’s identity to the public and bring her home. In the future, they would be able to make use of Veronica’s identity as Elizabeth’s god-granddaughter to foster closer ties with the Kingses.
After all, the Kings Family had an invincible presence in Bloomstead. If the Larsons managed to bring Veronica home, then her position as Elizabeth’s god
granddaughter and Tiffany’s position as Matthew’s fiancée would definitely elevate their positions in the social circle of Bloomstead. In the future, this would definitely bring about an abundance of business opportunities and wealth to the Larsons.
As soon as Floch heard Rachel’s analysis, he instantly clapped his hands with joy and agreed to it. Shortly after that, they announced Veronica’s identity to the press and publicly stated that they were going to bring her back home to compensate for her suffering
“Old Mrs. Kings, the bank mentioned that this card has a balance of only fifty thousand.”
Just then, the servant walked over and handed the card to Elizabeth as he spoke.
“Alright, I understand.” In response, Elizabeth took the card from him. Although she was quite old, she looked utterly formidable when the expression on her wrinkled face darkened. She held the card and immediately flung it toward Floch. “There’s only fifty thousand in there! Is this your compensation?!”
“No! No! I’ve made a mistake. It’s a mistake. There used to be three million inside but I donated it to the Red Cross. I’ve been too forgetful and made a mistake.”
Floch didn’t expect that Elizabeth would actually make them look bad, but he also realized then that she seemed to be overly concerned about Veronica. Just then, he plotted in his mind and quickly took out another card for the servant, “Here. Could you check the balance on this card, please?”
Meanwhile, Rachel didn’t expect such a situation and she was quite reluctant to part with the money. However, she could only apologize repeatedly, “Old Mrs. Kings, please don’t be angry. Floch is usually too busy with work so he must have made a mistake.”
However, Elizabeth scoffed coldly. “Why are you apologizing to me? I’m not the person affected here!” Elizabeth reprimanded them mercilessly.
Veronica nearly burst into tears upon seeing Elizabeth’s actions. “Grandma, you’re too kind to me!” She clung to Elizabeth’s wrist and leaned closer to nuzzle herself against Elizabeth as she purred, “I’m so touched.”
“Veronica, I’ve made a mistake. Don’t get mad at me.”
“Exactly, Veronica. Your dad’s just too busy with work. Mistakes occur, so please don’t mind him.”
The Larsons tried to explain themselves and continued to put on an act. However, Veronica refused to accept that. “I only have one father and he’s living in the countryside!” She rebuked mercilessly, blatantly showing her disrespect for the Larson Family.
Veronica was perfect at putting up an arrogant front by making use of Elizabeth’s position.
“Hmph! What’s wrong with the two of you? She just got back and yet you guys have upset her so soon!” Elizabeth reprimanded them once again.
At that moment, the servant came forward and said, “Madam, there’s three million, one hundred and thirty thousand in this card.”
Elizabeth took the card and turned to Veronica. “Veronica, I know that you don’t have much money, but you shouldn’t accept their money.” After she had said that, she
flung the card to the table and signaled to the servant.
The servant instantly brought forward Elizabeth’s bag. Elizabeth then took out a card from her bag before shoving it into Veronica’s hands. “You’re now my granddaughter, so it would be ridiculous if word got out that you received money from someone else. Here you go. I’ve got thirty million in here for you. Take it. From now on, your pocket money each month will be one hundred thousand.”
It was alright to flaunt one’s wealth, but Elizabeth’s actions were a direct snub to the Larsons and it also seemed like an intentional move too.
Meanwhile, Veronica was significantly touched and she was at a loss for words. However, she turned to steal a look at the Larsons’ expression, and she noticed that there were extremely ugly looks on their faces.
Just then, Matthew made his way into the room with Tiffany in tow. He had clearly heard everything so he voiced out, “How could you possibly take Grandma’s money?”
Instantly, Floch agreed. “Yeah, that’s right. Although you’re Old Mrs. Kings’ god granddaughter, you shouldn’t be so greedy, Veronica!”
“Floch is right. Although three million isn’t that much, once you’re back home, we’ll definitely give you some more money. If we give you a large sum all at once, you might find that money can be easily attained and this would not be a good thing for
you.”
The Larsons’ took the opportunity to voice out and they behaved as if they were trying to say that they weren’t being stingy by merely giving Veronica three million. The way they put it sounded as though they were just considering what was best for her. After all, she was a country bumpkin, and she might become flighty with too much money all at once.
“Grandma, I know that you dote on me very much but this money… I…”
Veronica was about to say no to Elizabeth when she saw Matthew walk in. Subsequently, he questioned her domineeringly, “I gave you a card before you arrived. Is the money insufficient?”
Veronica frowned in response and took out a card from her pocket. “Do you mean this one here?”
