Casey was shocked, he did not expect the Davies family to be so generous to give him ten billion. Maybe not even a single company in J City would be able to provide such an amount.
Indeed, the Davies family proved to be the elite family of B City.
"Young Master, the money in this card is just a compensation for the past years, whether you agree to come back with me, this money belongs to you."
"Besides, there is still a need for you to go over to TY Real Estate Company to complete the handover. I have already instructed the people there, as long as you go over, they will help you complete the handover right away."
"Here's my phone number, young master, think it over. After you have thought it through, ring me up. I'll be waiting at all times."
Jordan handed Casey a card with only his phone number written on it before turning around and leaving the place, not giving Casey another chance to speak.
Casey stared at both the bank card and business card in his hand for a while and remained silent for a long time.
"It's just that after all these years the Davies family owes me too much, much more than money can buy. Besides, PY Welfare House is really in a dire need for money, and I can't fork out the money for some reason. I’ll just keep this card." Casey muttered to himself.
After taking another look at the children in PY Welfare House to make sure that the money donated by Jordan was received and that there was also enough to eat, Casey left and headed home.
Edith's family lived in an old neighbourhood far away from the urban area. It was a two-room shabby hut.
Casey's father-in-law, Nicolas Patel was not a favourite in the Patel family, and since Nicolas's daughter was married to a loser like Casey, Francis was even more displeased with their family.
Nicolas could not get anything from the Patel family. In the past few years, they relied on Edith to stay alive.
When Casey arrived home, Amara and Nicolas were both sitting on the sofa with gloomy faces. Edith had also returned from the office, standing in front of the bookshelf, lost in thoughts.
"You rascal, you still have the nerve to come back, our family can't afford to support you anymore, so get out and never come back!"
Amara's long-accumulated anger instantly erupted, picking up a teacup on the table and throwing it at Casey.
Casey dodged quickly and the teacup fell to the ground. If it wasn't for his quick reaction, he would have left a hole in his head.
Amara glared at him and shouted, "You broke my cup, you must pay for it, ten times more."
"Got it, mom. I'll pay for it," Casey said, now that he was a man with ten billion dollars, not to mention a cup, even if it was ten gold cups, he could buy it back.
Amara thought that Casey was provoking her and blew her top, roaring, "Daughter, look at this shameless thing, he even dared to talk back, and you still don't care about that?"
"Mom, I didn't mean that," Casey explained quickly. He couldn't tell Amara that he had 10 billion directly now, these few years of concealment had made him understand the importance of hiding his own strength.
He understood that it takes time and pain to build a stronger self, so he couldn't say anything about his worth yet.
Edith turned to look at Casey, sighed and said, "Mom, don't make it difficult for Casey. It's getting late, let's all go back to our rooms and sleep."
"Sleep? This wimp has cost us so much today, do you think we'll be able to sleep? Now that he's back, I'm going to talk things straight! Both of you have to get a divorce, or you can't live on like this!" Amara shrieked aggressively.
