Lily was the most puzzled person amongst everyone.
It did not make sense that Wade, who was worth over ten hundred million, would bow to Nathan.
Nathan put the black card away, "I don't see that happening, but it'd be nice if you sack her."
Evidently, he was referring to Lily.
Wade swiftly complied, "You're fired. Get your pay from accounting and leave!"
Lily could not hold her tears any longer.
She knew that there was nothing that she could do to reverse the situation. She was at the point of no return.
Mia took care of the procedure and gave them a temporary number plate.
In the end, they drove out in an M760Li xDrive as Wade saw them off.
On their way back, an awkward silence fell in the car. Be it Penny at the front, or the rest of the family in the back, they were all hesitant to talk about the elephant in the room.
Nathan smiled at Penny as he drove, "You look like you have something to spill."
Penny let out a playful hum, "What else are you keeping from us?”
"Nothing. I always answer your questions honestly."
"Fine. Let me ask you this. Where did you get all that money from?"
Nathan gave her a cheeky wink, "Ah. I'm the great General of the North. Money means nothing but numbers to me."
