Vinson told Arielle about his conversation on their way home. Arielle was grateful to Lawrence as, without his appearance, there would not be many who would follow a king who had nothing.

“I forgot to ask Harvey if he had finished spending the money in the card I gave him the last time.” Arielle smacked her forehead ruefully. “We’ll give him another if he has. Lobbying requires expenditure regardless of who he’s trying to bribe.”

I’ve been so busy lately that I had completely forgotten about that.

“It’s not too late to ask.” Vinson grinned at her self-inflicted punishment. “You can give him a call now.”

Before the words were out of Vinson’s mouth, Arielle had dug her phone out and was already making the call.

As Harvey was still in the shower in the Wynter residence, Sonia picked up Harvey’s ringing phone and froze when she saw the name on the screen.

Sannie? Who is that?

Harvey emerged from the bathroom and saw Sonia standing motionless with his phone in her hand. “Why aren’t you picking up?”

He walked over to her as he spoke and took the phone from her hand. His heart clenched when he saw the name. Oh, cr*p!

After not speaking to her on the phone for so long, he had forgotten the nickname he secretly assigned to Arielle’s number. As if his luck could not get any worse, Sonia saw it the first time Arielle called.

With the phone ringing incessantly, he could not yet explain matters to Sonia. Instead, he opted to answer the call first. “Hello.”

“Have you finished using the money in the ATM card we gave you, Harvey?” Arielle’s voice came from the other end. “Let me know if you have, and I’ll give you another. It’s been a busy period; I’d forgotten to ask you.” Sonia was so surprised to hear the voice that her lips parted as she sank onto the side of the bed without a word. With her head bowed, she kept her gaze on her feet.

Harvey froze at Arielle’s mention of the card that Vinson had given him. How could I possibly finish spending what’s on that card?

“Are you joking, Arielle?” Harvey said incredulously. “I won’t even be able to finish spending it over two years.”

“Huh?”

It was Arielle’s turn to be dumbfounded.

Two years?

“Is there a lot in there?” Arielle asked tentatively.

A lot? What I meant by spending it over the next two years is squandering it away, as opposed to how I’ve been spending purposefully.

“You don’t know how much is in there?”

“I don’t,” Arielle answered in confusion.

Does she trust me so much that she would hand it to me without even knowing the amount inside?

Harvey was at a loss for words at that moment.

“There’s fifty billion in there,” he said hoarsely after some time. “I’d spent close to about a billion thus far.”

Fifty billion.

Her father had given her the card before even reconciling with her. Suddenly, Arielle felt the corners of her eyes getting wet.

“I know now. You hold on to it and carry on using the money to curry favor.” At that, Arielle hung up.

“Do you think my father was naïve, Vinson? He gave me such a large amount of money before I even called him ‘Dad.”‘

As the conversation had been on loudspeaker, Vinson understood her concern. “Dylan thinks he owes you and is trying to make it up to you,” he said gently as he held Arielle’s hand.

Arielle nodded as she gazed out the car window, a warm, fuzzy feeling creeping up her heart. It’s wonderful to experience a father’s love.

“Stop the car!” Arielle screamed all of a sudden, her expression turning into a panicked one.
