“I won’t take the 2.5 million dollars you’re offering me, either. Let’s put all five million dollars as an investment in your name. Would that be alright with you, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour?” 

“We couldn’t possibly do that, Matthew,” Marion said. “It‘ be at your expense.” 

Matthew replied, “Ella and I are such good friends. This means nothing to me. It’s not like I need the money, either. I’d feel bad about taking 2.5 million dollars from you guys. Let’s just invest everything to save you the trouble of having to put the money in the bank.” 

Arnold was a little hesitant. After all, five million dollars was a massive sum of money. He was a bit worried about handing everything over just like that. 

“What’s there for you to think about?” Marion questioned. Matthew is clearly doing us a favor. We should be overjoyed. There’s no reason for you to hesitate.” 

While speaking, she passed the box of cash to Matthew. 

“Here. Take it all. We’ll invest all five million dollars. I wish you all the best with your company. May it flourish and become renowned all over Goldspire.” 

Matthew was jumping for joy. He’d scored another five million dollars! What a great day it was. Marion and Elara were mother and daughter, alright. They were both equally dumb. 

“I’ll get going, then. Opening a company is keeping me quite busy.” 

“Yes, go on. Your work is more important.” 

After escorting Matthew out, Marion said gleefully, “This, combined with the five million dollars we invested previously, totals up to ten million dollars! That means we’ll have a sizable portion of the shares. Once Matthew’s company is established, we’ll be raking in the profits without doing anything!” 

Elara was eagerly looking forward to it as well. All along, she wanted to move up the ranks of society. She only had two options–either she had to marry an elite family, or her own family had to flourish. 

It was unlikely that she would be divorcing Gideon any time soon, so her only option now was to hope that the Seymours could somehow achieve even more success. Thankfully, Matthew gave them the opportunity to do so. 

“This is great!” 

Elara was in a swimmingly good mood. She felt extremely grateful to Matthew. 

Alas, they didn’t know that they would never be seeing a dime of that ten million dollars ever again.
