After lunch, Charlie turned down Jasmine’s generous offer to drive him home. He said his goodbyes to both her and Lord Moore at the entrance of Heaven Springs before making his way to the nearby Construction Bank.


    At the bank, Charlie transferred a staggering 998 million from the card Lord Moore had given him to his personal ount. He left with the card that now had a bnce of just two million dors.


    Upon returning home, Charlie found Jacob and ine finishing up their takeaway meal.


    As soon as Charlie stepped inside, ine rushed over to him like an eager puppy, asking, “Hey, Charlie, how’s work? Did you make any money?”


    Charlie nodded, responding in a t tone, “Some.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “How much is ‘some’?” ine asked excitedly, her eyes wide with curiosity. “Quick, show me the money!”


    Charlie pulled out the card, stating, “There are two million on this card.”


    “Two million?!” ine eximed, her eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets in shock.


    She quickly snatched the card from Charlie’s hand, her excitement palpable as she asked, “Are you serious? You’re not joking, right? Is there really two million on this card?”


    “Yes,” Charlie replied monotonously, “I checked at the ATM, and it really does have two million.”


    “Oh yes!” ine shrieked with joy.


    Two million! That was the exact amount she had lost in the mahjong scam!


    In her mind, she began to fantasize about visiting beauty salons and spas with her friends, ying a few rounds of Mahjong, and even moving into Thompson First! A smug grin spread across her face as these thoughts took over her imagination.


    As she flipped the card in her hand, a thought struck her. “By the way, does this card have a password?”


    Charlie nodded. “Yes, the password is…”


    Suddenly, he paused, realization dawning on him.


    Hold on! This wasn’t right!


    Just yesterday, ine had dered that Jacob would be in charge of the family finances moving forward.


    How could she so brazenly ask him for the password?


    Charlie quickly turned to Jacob and said, “Dad, didn’t we agree yesterday that you would handle the family’s money from now on?”


    Jacob blinked in surprise, as if struck by lightning. Charlie was correct; he was responsible for the finances, which meant he should be the one in possession of the two million!


    He sprang to his feet, rushing over to ine and saying, “Hand over the card.”


    ine hid the card behind her back, eyeing Jacob warily. “What are you doing?”


    “Yesterday, you said I’d be managing the money from now on. Are you going back on your word?”<fn1f13> Checktest chapters at find[?]ovel</fn1f13>


    ine stammered, “No, I’m not. I just want to make sure it really has two million like Charlie said.”


    Then, adopting a more assertive tone, she added, “Honestly, a big man like you can’t manage such arge amount of money responsibly. Why not let me take charge of the finances like before?”


    Jacob’s face flushed with anger. “ine, it hasn’t even been 24 hours since you made that promise, and now you want to break it?”


    “No, that’s not what I meant…”


    “What do you mean, then?” Jacob shot back coldly. “Let me be clear: don’t even think about the money or managing it! If you insist, then let’s get a divorce immediately!”


    ine shrank back, feeling defeated.


    She desperately wanted the two million, but with Charlie refusing to reveal the password, she felt powerless despite having the card.


    Reluctantly, she handed the card over to Jacob, shooting a venomous re at Charlie in frustration.
