ire hurriedly inquired about the source of Charlie’s newfound two million dors.


    Charlie responded, “It came from my work with Feng Shui.”


    ire was taken aback and eximed, “Wait, you made two million dors just from Feng Shui? That seems a bit unbelievable!”


    Charlie countered, “Isn’t it even more unbelievable that the White family gifted me a vi?”


    ire was left speechless, unable to argue against his point.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Then, Charlie reassured her, “My dear wife, I understand your concerns, but you can rx. The wealthy client I assisted with Feng Shui resolved a significant business crisis and, in turn, earned tens of millions of dors. So, I believe it’s only fair for me to receive two million dors from him.”<fn21d1> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn21d1>


    Feeling somewhat reassured, ire asked, “Did you give my dad the entire two million dors?”


    Charlie nodded slightly and replied, “Yes, I gave it all to him.”


    ire, still anxious, said, “I just worry that my mother will be scheming to get her hands on that money! She’ll probably have some ns up her sleeve!”


    Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We can visit the furniture store tomorrow and use the two million dors to buy furniture. After that, we won’t have to stress about your mother anymore.”

    Meanwhile, at the Wilson family vi, Lady Wilson was holding a bank collection slip from the Agricultural Bank, her expression one of frustration.


    They owed the Agricultural Bank over ten million dors, and ording to the bank’s policy, they were required to repay ten percent of the total each year, which amounted to more than one million dors.


    The Wilson family was in dire straits, having run out of funds, and it seemed that debt collectors were increasingly knocking on their door.


    In fact, the one million dors owed to the Agricultural Bank was a minor issuepared to the over twenty million dors they needed to raise to settle their debt with the Merchants Business Bank.


    At this moment, Christopher, concerned, asked the olddy, “Mom, it appears we’re in a really tough spot. Why don’t we sell all the mahogany furniture in the house to raise some money? I believe we could gather at least a million dors to pay off the Agricultural Bank for now. After that, we can figure out the next steps.”


    “Sell our furniture? That’s your solution?”


    Lady Wilson scolded Christopher angrily, “All of that furniture belonged to your father! Don’t you feel any regret or sadness at the thought of selling it?”


    Christopher replied helplessly, “What else can we do? If we don’t sell the furniture, we’ll be facing an insurmountable obstacle!”


    Suddenly, Lady Wilson picked up a teacup and hurled it at Christopher’s feet.


    The teacup shattered, causing Christopher to jump aside in shock.


    Lady Wilson red at him, her voice filled with anger as she said, “I told you long ago to hand over all of our family’s money! But you didn’t trust me and instead gave everything to that deceitful woman, Hannah! Look what’s happened now! Hannah has taken all our money and vanished! Are you happy with how things turned out?”


    Every mention of Hannah made Christopher feel upset and ufortable.


    She had been a master at deception!


    For twenty years, she had pretended to love him and their children, acting as if she was dedicated to their family.


    Christopher could never have imagined that she would abandon them during their most challenging times!


    This betrayal hit him hard, and he felt deeply wounded by her actions.


    He yearned to confront Hannah and express his fury!


    Unfortunately, he had no chance to do so.


    He had sought help from others to track her down, but no one had any information about Hannah’s whereabouts.


    It seemed as though she hadpletely vanished from existence.


    Seeing the furious expression on Lady Wilson’s face, Christopher reluctantly said, “You’re right, Mom. You always are. But our most pressing issue is that we urgently need arge sum of money to get through this crisis. I think we have no choice but to sell some of the furniture and antiques my father left us to raise the funds we need to survive!”
