Gerald felt very nervous.
He had a very close and deep relationship with his sister. Gerald was not lying to Layla when he mentioned that his sister did not take the high school examination in order to support his own education.
Both the siblings were very poor at that time.
Therefore, his sister dropped out of his high school examination directly.
There were also countless unforgettable things that his sister had done for him.
“Don’t mention it, brother. You should already know some of the strict and perverted rules that our family has! One of these rules is that no matter how much money you spend, you have to keep a record of it!”
“Even if you spend a small amount such as a few millions of dollars, all of it has to be reflected in the family’s records. You should not hide anything from the family at all! This is also the same for you! All of your spending on your bank card now are all recorded in our family’s records!”
“Oh, oh, yes. I know this!”
This was a rule of the Crawford family. You could spend as much money as you had and you could use the family’s money at will as you pleased. However, you would not be allowed to hide the money from the person who is at the helm of your family. That would be their father.
They were also not allowed to hide any money under any other names.
“Sister, do you have any unrecorded money?”
Gerald asked.
“Yes! D*mn it! I just found out about it today! When I had just gotten out of my poverty, I used the fifteen million dollars that mom gave to me for various consumption. One day, I drank a little too much and I wanted to eat something from a franchise so I asked my assistant to buy one for me!”
“D*mn it! Do you know what the idiot did? He bought this franchise over for nine million dollars! That franchise was not popular at that time but after so many years, that shop suddenly became very popular and it has already made a profit of more than three hundred million dollars now! I did not pay any attention to this matter at all because who would have expected that fool to buy the franchise over directly?”
“Then, I thought of spending the three hundred million dollars in secret! However, after spending only half of it, dad suddenly became aware of the situation! He was wondering why there seemed to be no movement in the family’s money even though I have already bought so many things! I am really scared! I broke the family’s rule so I will have to live a life of poverty for one month! Our dad is very old-fashioned and he really abides by the rules. It would be useless even if mom tries to intercede on my behalf!”
“I was wondering what the big deal was. Don’t you just have to live in poverty for one month? It will pass by very soon!”
Gerald could not help but wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His sister really loved to make a fuss.
“No! Brother, I cannot even stand living in poverty for one day, let alone one whole month! I don’t care! No matter what it is, you have to help your sister!”
