Chapter 236

Nydia smiled and asked, “Uncle, what are you talking about?”

“No?” Cade didn’t elaborate, as if both were testing each other.

“Of course not. If I was distancing myself, how could I still be working at your company, Uncle?” Nydia replied.

After a moment of contemplation, Cade felt that she was right. If Nydia didn’t want to interact with the Malones, she wouldn’t have asked to work at the company. The Pascall Group was such a huge corporation, and she could have taken any position she wanted.

“When do you plan to come to the company?” Cade asked.

“Anytime is fine. Tomorrow or the day after,” Nydia replied.

“How do you want to go about it? Do you want me to introduce you to people, or do you want to report on your own?” Cade asked.

After some thought, Nydia said, “I think I want to report on my own. That way, I can avoid people talking behind my back. I want to challenge myself and not just coast through life.”

“It’s easy to get hurt in the workplace. You have to be mentally prepared,” Cade warned.

“I know,” Nydia nodded.

“Since you want to be treated like a regular employee, and you’re not short on money, I won’t give you a high salary for being a designer assistant,” Cade said.

Nydia knew it was difficult to get money from Cade. She knew that the salary for a designer assistant was not high.

“Uncle, you don’t have to pay me a high salary. As long as I can support myself, it’s fine. Jesse hasn’t been giving me money lately, but if I save some, it’s enough,” Nydia replied.

Cade frowned.

“Jesse hasn’t been giving you money? What about your own money? Has he taken all of it?” Cade became anxious.

“He said he was worried that I would spend it recklessly, so he saved some for me,” Nydia replied, biting her lip and looking a bit nervous.

“How could you give him the money to save?!” Cade angrily questioned Nydia.

Nydia was startled and immediately explained, “He won’t secretly use my money. He doesn’t lack money.”

“Are you stupid?” Cade roared again, feeling that Nydia was incredibly foolish.

“Uncle, what’s wrong?” Nydia pretended to be wronged.

“Who would complain about having too much money?!”

“Didn’t you want me to gain Jesse’s trust? Why are you blaming me now? If I didn’t bring out some money, how could he trust me?” Nydia raised her voice in retort.

Cade was speechless at Nydia’s words, and his face turned unpleasant.

“Don’t be mad, I will go and have him give back my money now.” Nydia said worriedly.

But Cade was pissed off by her words.

“Don’t be angry. Nydia finally came back to have a meal with us, and you scared her. She won’t dare to come back again.” Laura advised, if they scared away this money tree, it would really make them cry.

Her words calmed Cade down.

“How much did he take?”

“Half, and I kept the other half myself.”

When Cade heard “half,” he almost had a heart attack.

He didn’t actually know how much money Nydia had, but he was aware of the amount of compensation she received. Altogether, it was at least 1 billion, but Nydia didn’t get it all at once.

Originally, this money could have been under his control, but Neil had left a will. If something happened to him, the compensation would not immediately go to Nydia. She would receive a portion first, and the rest would be given to her in installments when she turned 26 years old.

So after the couple’s accident, Nydia would receive one million per year, which was considered her daily expenses. When she turned 18, she could receive three million per year.

For the children of wealthy families, several million was not a big deal. This was also why the Malones had never taken action. The big money was still to come, and they had to endure the loneliness.

When Nydia turned 26 years old, she received 50 million, and during this time, she received another 50 million for getting married and having children.

In other words, she received a total of about 150 million yuan during these years.
