I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 277
They watched Pearl speak bravely and with ease as she faced the country and a large number o fmedia reporters on TV. Billy and Leigh knew Pearl had changed. She was no longer the good girl who would never fight back, rebuke, and always had her family’s best interest at heart.
These two months had been difficult for the three of them. Pearl used to give them twenty thousand dollars of allowance every month, which had lasted for gone on for two years.
Not many could earn twenty thousand dollars a month, not even those in their small county or the city, let alone poor mountain villages.
They had gotten nearly half a million dollars in the past two years. Even if they had spent more lavishly, they could not have finished it all in the poor mountain village.
However, Sam was a disappointment as he not only lost the tuition fee from Pearl through gambling, but he also owed a lot of debt. Because of this, he stopped gambling after meeting Minnie.
However, he still had to pay his debt!
Therefore, they had used the money to pay the debts that Sam had accumulated thus far. Besides that, the couple had hardly worked in the fields in the past few years, and only played poker and drank every day. Because of this, they hardly had any money left.
Instead, they waited for Pearl’s money every month.
Pearl had not sent back any money in the past two months, leaving the family struggling to put food on the table.
The family had no choice. Since they could not find her, they could not starve themselves either! They could only pick up their tools and continued working.
However, they had not done any farm work for years, so their body was overwhelmed by the sudden physical strain.
They waited every day for Pearl to send money back. They had gone to the bank in town more than a dozen times such that even the bank staff were a little tired of the couple.
They had gone from being the envy of the whole village to the laughingstock.
Instead of blaming themselves, they blamed Pearl.
The couple and Sam resented Pearl.
They were still trying to figure out what to do with the damned girl when they first found her.
Now, they were watching Pearl on TV.
She even became a general manager.
Her life was so much better than theirs.
No matter how much Pearl had changed, she was still their daughter. They raised her, yet she now turned her back on her family.
It was inappropriate!
All three were filled with anger. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
They wanted to take it out on Pearl.
“Find out where your sister is. We’ll head out to find her tomorrow. How absurd. She ignored her family while she is having the time of her life being some general manager,” snarled Billy.
He had always been proud, yet he was full of rage as he could no longer hold his head high in the village.
“Okay! I’m on it!” Sam agreed.
Pearl had no idea that her family knew she was on TV since she had her hands full at that moment. Now that they held the press conference, it was time for them to act.
As the general manager of East League International Investment Group, she needed to consider everything as David was a hands-off chairman.
She had to make preparations for the foundation and accelerate the projects they invested in.
However, she had no complaints. She was a grateful person and knew that David had given her all these things and helped her realize her value in life.
She basically ran East League International Investment Group herself, a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
He had so much trust in her.
David trusted her and valued her so much that she would try her best to do everything well.
You could say that she was now in the country’s elite circle as she ran a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Besides that, judging by East League International’s momentum, it was not long before they hit the trillion-dollar mark.
Even in Somerland, a trillion-dollar group was something.
Of course, it was only a surface-level ranking as it was unknown how many hidden aristocratic families held that much power.
David was thinking about how to spend the money in another way. Although he received dozens of lavish points every day, he thought it was too slow.
According to the system, he used 2,000 lavish points to break through the double limit, so
would he need 20,000 points for the next breakthrough?
Besides, he needed so much more lavish points for the upgrading. It would take forever for him to gain enough points when he only gained a few dozen lavish points per day.
He also knew that East League International was developing fast enough as he had spent nearly four hundred billion dollars in two months.
Adding the one hundred billion dollars he announced through the press conference to schools i n poor mountainous areas to the equation, it totaled five hundred billion dollars.
It was all real money and had already caught the attention of a lot of big forces.
It was because he had been getting a lot of calls these last two days.
Clinton, Rhonda, Bill, Hugh, and Andy.
Anyone capable he knew had called him.
Although not directly, they had discreetly told him not to rush into expansion.
Clinton even told him to lay low for a while and that too much publicity was not good for the East League International’s development.
Every family with powers would hide, not put themselves in the open.
David had two trump cards and was sure they could intimidate many people once he showed them, but there was no guarantee that there would not be a hidden affluent family that was unafraid of his cards.
Besides, he did not like to show all his things, which would, on the contrary, make him very insecure!
What to do?
David also felt lost for a while.
East League International should not continue making any big moves at this time.
However, his lavish points were growing a little slow. It worried him terribly.
