I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 

It was already dark by the time David arrived at River City.

He would have arrived way earlier had he not been held up on the road.

Exhausted, he returned to the South River International Residence and opened the doors to his home.

Only for him to see Pearl with reddened eyes about to leave.

“Huh? Miss Pearl? What’s wrong? Are you going out?”

Then he spotted the people standing behind Pearl. “Who are they?” Pearl felt her chest tighten when she saw David.

‘Didn’t he go home for the holidays? Why’s he back so soon? And now of all times too.’

“My apologies, Mr. Lidell. These people are my family members. They came over to visit me from home, s o l thought I’d bring them here to sit down. I’ll show them out right away.” Pearl replied nervously.

She was afraid that David would be angry. Anyone would be upset to know that random people had come into their four-hundred-million-dollar house while they were out.

“Where are you going so late at night? There are plenty of rooms here, why not just stay the night?” David asked.

Pearl had overthought the seriousness of the issue. Houses were meant to be lived in anyway.

There were many rooms in this house, and it could most certainly house these six guests.

David did not mind housing them.

“No, no, it’s alright, Mr. Lidell. I already arranged hotel rooms for them, so I’ll be…”

Billy interrupted Pearl, “You must be this damned girl’s boyfriend, huh? You’re already living together, so might as well get married as soon as possible! We might just be an insignificant family, but there are still proper rites to perform! We’re not asking for much, just ten million dollars, and a house and car for your brother in River City. It doesn’t have to be too expensive, and if you can afford such an expensive house, I’m sure these requests mean nothing to you, right?”

David was stunned,

‘Damned girl?

‘Is he talking about Pearl?

‘What kind of father calls his own daughter that?

And he’s mistaking me for Pearl’s boyfriend!

‘But considering that we do live in the same house, I guess it makes sense that people think we’re living together?

‘Ah, there’s no clearing this misunderstanding, is there?

“But ten million dollars, and a house and car in River City? Why does it feel like he’s selling his daughter off?

David glanced at Pearl but did not say anything.

Pearl’s chest heaved and she stared at her father with fear. Tears fell without stopping down her face as she shouted, “Dad! Stop with that nonsense!”

“How is that nonsense? You’re already living together, what’s not clear here? Who else will marry you if he doesn’t make you his wife? How do you expect us to live with dignity back at home?” Billy refuted.
