My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 840

“Mr. Hawkins, I am not being suspicious of your abilities, I am just trying to cover all the possibilities. What if Kieran’s wealth can even rival that of a country’s wealth? If his funds never stop coming, perhaps the Hawkins Group will not last until the end.”

The group would crumble.

It would signal a total defeat in this trade war.

Ernest smirked naturally and his tone was so nonchalant as if he was singing high praises of the good weather today.

“No matter how much money he has, even if that amount can triumph over ten organizations as large as the Hawkins Group, I will always be able to cover for it.”

His careless tone was like a striking lightning in Roan’s ears. He was frozen on the spot.

His eyes widened as he looked at Ernest in shock.

Ten organizations as large as the Hawkins Group?

To be able to beat that many companies, the amount of money needed was unthinkable and uncountable.

Despite that, Ernest wasn’t fazed at all. If he could fork out that much money with ease, then to say that Ernest’s wealth rival that of a nation was just an understatement.

His true ability was lurking below a tip of an iceberg.

This man was a true warrior, and a beast lurking in the shadows.

Kieran naively thought that his financial attack would work, and the Hawkins Group would suffer defeat. At most, he was just having a delusion.

Florence looked at Ernest in confusion and asked in a low voice, “Are you trying to use the Turner family as a back-up?”

Based on her understanding of Ernest, the Hawkins family was always backed by the Turner family.

With how rich the Turners were, the Hawkins Group was just a small peck in their palms.

Ernest smiled lightly, “Do you think that I will be so useless? That I need to borrow money from that family?”

His tone indicated his contempt and disdain for the Turner family.

Although he was the heir, and although those people were begging and crying for his return, he was able to find Florence with the help of the Turner family. After that, Ernest would no longer harbor any feelings for that family.

That family wasn’t worthy of his attention since it was a cold, cruel place.

Florence gave it a thought and agreed with Ernest. With how aloof and arrogant he was, he would never ask for help from the Turner family.

Therefore, where did he get so much disgusting wealth from?

Florence turned over some ideas in her mind, and her gaze suddenly became sharp. She was burning her gaze on Ernest.

She asked seriously, “Are you hiding money from me?”

Ernest didn’t answer her immediately. How should he navigate this?

Roan was so startled that his chopsticks almost fell to the floor.

Was he simply just hiding some money? The amount would be too astounding to be called a personal saving.

Collin leaned back lazily and was chewing some food. He said nonchalantly, “Flory, your partner here has a really depthless background, much more than your imagination. Ten organizations that are as large as the Hawkins Group is nothing but chump change in his eyes.”

Florence’s eyes were as wide as marbles. She was utterly in disbelief.

Besides the Turner family, Ernest should only have the Hawkins family behind him. Was there something else that she didn’t know?

Ernest pressed his lips into a line and combed Florence’s hair. He said gently, “I still have a lot of money. You can buy whatever you want.”

After a pause, he added in a lower voice, “Or alternatively, after our marriage I will give you my salary statement. You can then see for yourself the amount.”

Florence’s face turned red. Why did he bring up marriage? And he was proposing to let her hold on to his salary statements.

She didn’t plan to marry him because of money.

Wait, it was not like they were at the stage where marriage was in the plans yet!

Florence’s face was completely red, and to hide her embarrassment, she buried her head into her plate. She didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Anyhow, Ernest seemed very prepared with anything. She didn’t have to worry too much about the Hawkins Group crumbling anytime soon.

…

Hunger.

An audible noise came from her stomach.

Phoebe got up from her bed with frustration and grabbed her stomach. She let out a helpless sigh.
