Chapter 900

I Got Scammed, Aunt Helen

Demi was upset, so after they sent Helen off, she complained, “Are you mad, Liam? How could you just
give her ten million? Why didn’t you ask her what the money is for?”

Liam sneered. “Why should I? She could have asked for double the money and I’d still give it to her.”

“Wh-What do you mean?” Demi was flummoxed.

Liam looked at her. “What do I mean? We laundered a ton of cash from the company. Do you think
Matthew won’t check the accounts? If he finds out about it, he’s going to interrogate us.”

Demi pouted. “Hmph. I’m not scared of him. He’s just a live-in son-in-law. As if he can do anything to us.
Besides, it’s our family’s company. He doesn’t have the right to question us no matter how much we take
from it.”

Liam nodded. “You’re right, but the problem is, what if your parents ask us about it? What should we tell
them?”

Demi shut up, and she frowned. “What are you trying to say?”

Liam laughed. “I got James a new car a couple of days ago. It’s a Rolls-Royce. And I switched his watch
to a new one. Cost me a million. And I spent about seven hundred grand on a piece of jewelry for Helen.”

Demi stared at him in disbelief. “Are you mad? Why’d you buy so many things for them? You didn’t even
get me a piece of seven-hundred-grand jewelry!”



Liam explained slowly, “Now calm down. Yes, I spent a lot, but that means we’ll have an excuse once
Matthew comes around to audit. If your parents question us, we’ll tell them we used the money to buy



them gifts. Now that they know it’s used on them, they won’t question us anymore. That’s why I don’t
have to know what Helen wants to do with the money. As long as she takes the money, she’ll have to
defend us, get it?”

Realization struck Demi, and she gushed, “Oh, you’re so smart, honey. Now that you dragged them into
this, Matthew can’t do anything to us. He can’t interrogate my parents, can he?”

As expected, Sasha looked into the pharmacy’s accounts the next day, but since Helen had patched it
up, she didn’t find anything wrong with it. Since the funds were all there, Sasha felt relieved and put the
issue behind her.

Three days later, Helen received a call from Tate.

Tate was sobbing, his voice trembling. “Aunt Helen, come here quick! M-Minerva’s trying to kill herself!”

Helen shivered. “Wh-What? Where are you? I’ll be right there!”

Ten minutes later, Helen hurried over to a motel. The moment she went in, she saw Minerva plopped on
the floor, a look of despair on her face.

Tate was beside her, worried and panicked. Right after Helen came in, he said, “Aunt Helen, you have to
talk some sense into her. She wants to kill herself.”

Helen quickly went up to Minerva. “Wh-What happened, Minerva? Don’t scare me! Tell me what
happened. Don’t do anything stupid!”

Minerva looked up at her, her eyes red. “I-I got scammed, Aunt Helen,” she said with a trembling voice. “I
couldn’t get through to Peter no matter what, so I went to his place, but it’s already deserted. And I even
went to Wayne Group to see if he was there, but nobody knew him. Th-They say they don’t have anyone
named Peter working with them…”
