I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286
The door to the conference room opened and Pearl walked in with a serious face.
“Pearl,” Sam called out with a smile.
Pearl ignored Sam and did not greet anyone. Then, she sat directly in the main seat.
Billy was fuming when he saw Pearl’s rudeness. Aside from leaving them here for so long, she did not even greet them when she walked in.
He was used to punishing Pearl ever since she was a child, so he thought that Pearl was still the same as before. He thought that as long as he lost his temper, she would be afraid of him.
“You punk, you’re all grown up now, huh? You left us to suffer at home and you didn’t even send money home, yet you are enjoying yourself here. Do you want to get beaten up again?” Billy scolded.
As Pearl’s father, he thought that by giving birth to Pearl, he was entitled to control everything about her.
He was naturally seething when he saw Pearl enjoying herself here while they were suffering a t home.
“I told you I won’t give you a penny again. I have paid off your debt of raising me. Over the years, I couldn’t even bring myself to eat and buy new clothes because you took all of my money. And what happened in the end?” Pearl said expressionlessly.
Billy trembled with anger at Pearl’s words. Then, he stood up and pointed at Pearl to say,” Paid off? Do you think you can pay it off? We gave birth to you, and if you want to pay it off, you have to give your life back to us too.”
“I wish you hadn’t given birth to me back then. Other children are loved by their parents. What about me? What else did you do for me besides telling me to work, beat, and scold me?”
“I should have strangled you when I gave birth to you!” Billy said with a red face.
“I think that thought must have appeared in your head the moment I was born and you saw that I was a girl. However, you didn’t have the balls to do so. As for giving my life back to you? I’m sorry, there are no laws stating that parents have the right to take back their children’s lives after giving birth to them. The moment I stepped into this world, my life belonged only to me.”
“You… You… You unfilial thing!” Billy was so angry that he struggled to catch his breath. He could hardly stand still.
“Honey, breathe!” Leigh supported Billy and said.
She looked at Pearl who was still calm.
Pearl had changed
Pearl had completely changed!
She did not even know them anymore!
“Dad, Pearl, can you stop fighting and start talking nicely to each other?” Sam advised.
Then, he said to Pearl, “Pearl, Dad is just mad and he doesn’t have anywhere to vent. You should just leave him be. Do you know what kind of life we’re living now? We can’t even eat anymore. Also, we have to do physical labor everyday. Look at the calluses on my hands. The money to come here was also sponsored by Minnie’s parents.”
“What does that have to do with me? You asked for this. How much money have I sent back home all these years after scrimping and saving? Plus, your tuition fee is at least six hundred thousand, right? This amount is enough for you to buy two houses in the county. In that case, who can you blame now that you’re living like this?”
“Pearl, it’s all my fault. However, I’ve changed. Can’t you give me another chance?”
“Enough. I don’t want to listen to you cry about your difficulties to me. I know the reason why you’re here. You’re here for money, right? I’m telling you now, I have money but I won’t give you a penny. If you want money, go make it yourself. That’s all. I am busy so go back to where you come from.”
After Pearl said that, she got up to leave.
“Pearl, are you going to be so cruel?”
“I’m cruel? Have you ever thought about the fact that your sister was starving and freezing when you were gambling away the tuition fee I lent you? I only ate one meal per day. I just wanted you to grow to be more mature, but in the end, what happened? What’s the return you gave me?”
“… …” Sam did not know how to answer at that moment.
He was indeed a scoundrel back then.
“You punk! You’ve grown now, you have money, and you’re a big boss. Do you think we’re embarrassing you, and that’s why you want to abandon us? Let me tell you, no way. You want t o disown us? Okay! Don’t you have hundreds of millions now? Give us 100 million and we won’t come to you anymore. If not, we’ll make a fuss in your company. I’d like to see if a general manager like you can still continue to work here if that were to happen.”
Billy pointed at Pearl as he roared.
Pearl did not speak.
It would be meaningless to say anything more.
These people who were the closest to her would never understand how much she suffered back then.
