Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041: Susan, Obsessed with Gambling

"Mistress, please have some tea!" The secretary carefully carried a cup of tea over.

At this moment, most of the employees at the Chester Group had already left for the day. However, Susan refused to leave; she had no way of leaving. Impatiently, she asked, "I don't want tea. When is Esther coming?"

Susan was feeling extremely agitated at this moment; her luck had been consistently poor recently. She had lost an uncountable amount of money, and this time, she had lost another billion. The creditors had personally come looking for her. With no other choice, she had to come and find Esther. After all, as Esther's mother, it was only natural for her to ask her daughter for money, especially now that the Chester Group had become the leading conglomerate in Amerosia. Esther, as the CEO of the Chester Group, had also seen her fortunes rise with the company. It was conservatively estimated that Esther's personal wealth had surpassed a hundred billion. Of course, as the Chairman of the Chester Group, John was even wealthier. However, Susan didn't dare to approach John. Even though he currently paid her no attention, if he found out she had lost so much money, he would surely not let it slide. There was no telling what he might do, even going as far as divorcing her and leaving her with nothing!

Speaking of which, it was all Chris's fault, that scoundrel. If she had been made the Chairman of the Chester Group in the first place, she wouldn't have to resort to asking for help like this. Just thinking about it made Susan seethe with anger, cursing Chris incessantly. Simultaneously, she had made up her mind. This time, she wouldn't give up until she got the money. A billion wasn't enough for her; she needed ten billion to break even!

The secretary, resigned, said, "Mistress, please wait. Miss Esther said she'll be here in a moment."

Even the secretary felt there was no way to deal with Susan. She couldn't rush her, and she had to carefully attend to her. After all, Susan was Esther's mother. From the secretary's perspective, Esther was great in every way, except for having a mother like Susan. During this period, she had lost count of how many times Susan had come asking Esther for money.

"It's none of your business. Please step aside and don't be a hindrance here!" Susan shouted at the secretary. The employees at the Chester Group were all under her Jefferson family. At her words, the secretary had no choice but to step aside.

Clack, clack, clack...

At that moment, a familiar sound of footsteps approached, and the secretary quickly went over. "Miss Esther!"

Esther asked, "Where's my mom?" The secretary pointed to the office, saying, "She's still inside. She won't leave until she sees you."

Esther nodded, "Alright, I understand. You can go home now."

"Miss Esther, your mother is just too..." The secretary stuck out her tongue, finding it hard to continue. Susan was treating her own daughter like her personal cash cow. Was there really a mother in this world who would exploit her own daughter like this?

Esther smiled and said, "It's okay. I will talk to her."

"Alright," the secretary nodded, looking at Chris nearby and said, "At least with Mr. Shelby here, I feel more at ease."

At the Chester Group, Chris was like an unshakable pillar. Although he didn't frequently appear at the company, everyone knew the close relationship between Chris and the growth of the Chester Group to its current scale. After saying this, the secretary left.

Chris glanced at the secretary and said with a smile, "She's quite observant. Next time, I should consider giving her a raise."
