Someone said something in the phone, then Johnny's expression was extremely shocked. Two minutes later, the call ended.
Seeing this, Charlie said calmly, "If there's anything I can do for you?."
"Dad, what happened?" Wendy asked with great concern.
Johnny seemed to be still in a daze and didn't realize what had happened until a long time later.
"Oh, in fact, it's all right..." Although Johnny waved his hand, he still looked very confused. He explained in a serious voice, "Just now, the bank called me! I just said I was ready to relocate and sell anything in Ice city and transfer the rest of the funds. They should be almost done, but suddenly told me that there is still a sum of money left under my name. A total often million!"
After the bankruptcy of Lim's Group four years ago, Johnny's property had long been depleted. Now, in addition to this villa and his allocation, in his hand, there were only the few foreign houses that were transferred to Wendy as dowry. After all, he was not rich as before. Ten million yuan at this time was a huge sum of money for him.
"Uh, how can there be such a good thing?" Wendy asked in surprise.
"Yes, I was just stunned. How could there be such a good thing in the world? What's more, I don't even know the money!" Johnny nodded and said in a more serious tone, "But just now, the staff members of the bank were very firm and determined to confirm that there were ten million yuan, and they said that it's Helen who put the money under my account!"
Helen?
Wendy was shocked.
She and Charlie looked at each other, and the latter also confused.
They knew very well what kind of situation Helen was. More than once, she went to Johnny to ask for money. It seemed that she still had a lot of gambling debts until now. How could she saved such a large sum of money? Moreover, even if she had, how could she give the money to Johnny, who had no marital relationship with her?
This was really strange...
The next night, an orange light was lit in the master bedroom.
When Charlie walked downstairs with milk in
his hand day after day, Wendy, who was sitting at the end of the bed, just put down her cell phone after the call.
Charlie stuffed the milk cup into her hand and asked, "Is this a call from the Lim family?"
When he pushed the door open, he heard Wendy call dad, and her tone sounded more like she was calling Johnny.
"Yes!" Wendy nodded, took a sip of milk, frowned and said to him, "Dad said he went to see Helen today and asked her about the money. But no matter what he asked, Helen wouldn't tell him where the money came from. Dad asked you to investigate it!"
Hearing this, Charlie frowned slightly and said, "Well, I know."
When he came out of the bathroom after showering, he saw that Wendy still sat in the position at the end of the bed. The milk cup in her hand was empty, but she had been holding it in her hand all the time, staring at the empty glass with her eyes down.
Charlie walked over and took out her empty cup. "Still thinking about that?"
Wendy raised her head with a frown and grabbed his arm. Suddenly, she said, "Charlie, I just thought of something..."

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
