Captain Lowe fell silent after hearing Zacharyâs suggestion A moment later, he said coldly. âZachary, are you out of your mind! people m Laghtdom Caty It will be 200 thousand dollars in total give everyone a 20 thousand raise. Your team has 10 âIâll need to go through all levels to request for such funds. And itâll be tough to get approval.â
âI know itâs tough, thatâs why I want to contribute privately to give everyone on the team a raise,â
Zachary said.
âWhat do you mean by that? Captain Lowe asked in contusion.
Ill give you a sum of money Help me figure out a way to increase their payâ
Captain Lowe said in disbelief. âZachary. I think youâre really out of your mind. There are ten people on your team.
Excluding you, there are nine. If you pay 180 thousand dollars a month, at Il be 2.16 million a year and more than 20 million dollars for ten yearsâ¦
âCaptain Lowe, Ill pay for 20 yearsâ
Zacharyâs words rendered Captain Lowe speechless. A few seconds later, Captain Lowe said.
âTalmost forgot that youâre a tycoon âAlright, Iâll help you with this.â
Thank you After hanging up the phone. Zachary let out a long sigh and thought, âI donât know if this is going to help Blake and the others.
These people are so annoying. They donât want my money. So I have no choice but to make up an excuse to help them. This is a real headacheâ¦â
Zachary had wanted to sponsor his poor but passionate and loyal team members long ago.
However, those people basically did not like to borrow money and accept financial support from others. They just wanted to make a career for themselves and achieve success through their own efforts and create wealth with their own hands.
So in desperation, he could only help them indirectly.
Zachary parked the car and walked into a modern and stylish building in Lightdom City.
Ruglane District, in a five-story villa.
Haylan had returned home. After taking a shower, he sat on the balcony, watching the view while smoking a cigarette. He thought to himself with a solemn expression. âDid I really sleep with Grace?â
It was the first time in his life that he had been so drunk that he blacked out and did not know what had happened after he became unconscious.
When he thought of the situation in which Grace was lying in his arms, he felt that things were not that simple.
However, Grace said that nothing had happened, so he could not ask further.
âI wonât take advantage of others when they are facing difficulties. Nothing should have happened,â
Haylan thought.
âHaylan, come down for dinner!â
Felicia was shouting from downstairs, Only then did Taylan come back to his senses. âComing!â
He stubbed out his cigarette and went downstairs.
When he got to the dining room, he found that the food had been served and the whole family had sat down and was ready for lunch.
Haylen took a deep breath and cast his thoughts aside before sitting down with a smile. He looked at the table full of dishes and asked, âMom, what is the occasion? Why do you prepare so much great food?â
âEveryone in the family is here today. Shouldnât we have some great food?â Felicia glared at him, but there was unconcealable joy in her eyes.
âAlso, Queenie is going to take SAT soon. She needs to eat better to have a stronger body,â Charlie added.
The two elders looked at each other and bearned with joy.
âHaylan, come. Have more foodâ
They chatted and laughed happily as if they had won a lottery. When they were talking, they kept putting food on Haylanâs plate.
Their unusual behaviors puzzled Haylan even more Even when they moved to the new house, his parents had never been so happy.
Hayland couldnât help but wonder. âWhat is going on?
However, no matter how he asked, his parents remained tight-lipped, and wouldnât disclose a thing.
Haylan looked at Felicia and was surprised to find that the emerald pendant on her neck was gone.
His face fell instantly. âMom, youâ¦â¦â¦ you sold the emerald pendant that I gave you, didnât you?â
Felicia was stunned. Then, she shot an angry glance at her son and said. âNonsense. It is such a precious thing. I want to pass it down to your children. How could I sell it?â
âThatâs right. We donât lack money now. Why would we sell it? Charlie chimed in âThen why are you guys so happy? Did you win a lottery or somethingâ Haylan asked.
âSon, stop asking questions and eat. Here you go. Have some tonic soup. Itâs very nourishingâ
Charlie didnât answer. Instead, he scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Hayları.
There were all kinds of herbal ingredients in the soup.
âDad, what are you doing?â Haylan couldnât believe it.
If he finished that super tonir soup, he would probably have an upset stomach.
âYour mother specially made this for you this morning. Hurry up and ear it Charlie said.
Thatâs right. Eat up. If itâs not enough. Iâll get more for you. Felicia urged.
Haylan had no alternative but to eat it at his parents prodding. After they persuaded him again, he finished all the ingredients in the soup.
âHere, have some more.â
As soon as Haylan finished eating. Felicia placed another bowl of soup in front of him.
âMom, I canât eat anymore. Haylan smiled bitterly.
âYou have to even if you canât. Eat it quickly. Felicia urged.
In frustration, Haylan ate another bowl.
Seeing that Felicia wanted to scoop more soup for him, he quickly stopped her. âMom, Iâm really fullâ
âYoung man, why do you have such a small appetite?â Felicia glowered at him unhappily.
âMom, Ive already eaten two bowls.â Haylan complained aggrievedly âOnly two bowls. A young man should have a big appetite. I donât care. Youâre going to have another one.â
Without any explanation, Felicia got another bowl of tonic soup for Haylan and kept urging him to eat it.
Haylan could only comply and eat the soup under his motherâs coercion.
After seeing Haylan finish it. Felicia was satisfied. She smiled and cleaned up the dishes before going out with Charlie âSis, whatâs wrong with Dad and Mom?â Haylan asked, looking at Floris with a puzzled gaze Without answering the question, Floris scooped a bowl of tonic soup and placed it in front of Haylan.
âEat it.â
Yelena followed suit. âHaylan, Eat in Queenie, George, and Harris all stood up and placed a bowl of tonic soup in front of Haylan respectively. âHaylan, eat it.â
Looking at the many bowls of tonic soup in front of him, Haylan burped. He stared at his sibling in bewilderment and asked, âWhat is this about? What are you guys doing?â
âNothing The soup is good for you. Eat it. Iâm sending Tracy to school. With that, Floris carried Tracy, who was still eating. and went out immediately.
âHaylan, Iâm going to work too,â said Yelena.
âHaylan, weâre going to school. Good luckâ
Queenie, Harris, and George spoke in unison.
After that, they left quickly as if they were fleeing the scene.
âWhatâs going on?â Haylan was deeply perplexed He felt that everyone in the house was acting weird. âItâs already noon. Isnât it too late for school?
âAlso, why did they make me eat so much tonic soup?
âDo they want to give me diarrhea?
âWhat the hell?â
He felt a little bloated from eating so much tonic soup.
âHaylan.â
Just as he was thinking, a womanâs sweet voice was heard. Dressed in skimpy clothes, Lydia showed up at the door and looked at him with a smile.
She was wearing a low-cut, off-the-shoulder top and a pair of shorts.
The high heels accentuated her slender long legs and made them look even more curvaceous and alluring.
âThump, thumpâ¦â
Upon seeing Lydiaâs sexy look, Haylanâs heart was racing uncontrollably. He felt as if his body was burning inside.
