"According to Lydia's explanation three years ago when Samuel first joined the family, Dad gave Godfrey 100 million in secret in order to make up for Yvonne, but he had a rule that this 100 million must be used after three years, and the timing is now, so there shouldn't be any mistakes," Lionel explained.
That old man had given Yvonne 100 million!
The old lady thought it was simply impossible. She knew clearly how much money the Sue family own. In the past, in order to prevent the old man from keeping a mistress, she would go through every single account in the company, how could he have kept 100 million with him?
However, if he had not given it to Godfrey, how would Godfrey have gotten so much money?
The old lady decided to ask Godfrey for clarification in person and said, "I'll come to the villa right away."
Upon hanging up the phone, Lionel returned to the living room and said to Lydia, "Mom will be here right away, she wants to find out what this is all about."
Lydia's face showed indifference, the old man had already died years ago, no one could testify. She could say whatever she wanted. Who would be able to find out the truth? Noteven Grandmother Sue if she arrived at the villa herself.
"Okay, the money is from the old man, I've got nothing to fear," Lydia said.
"Not everyone can come into Cloudridge, you go to the gate to pick up Mom. It won't be nice to have her being stopped by the guards," Lionel reminded.
Lydia panicked. This house had nothing to do with her and she was not the owner. How could the security guard acknowledge her to open the gates for Grandmother Sue?
She could be so cheap at times, that she acted as if she commanded Samuel to carrying out the task for her. "You, go pick Grandma up."
"Very well." Samuel responded and left the villa with Yvonne following close behind.
After walking out of the villa, Yvonne said with an apologetic face, "I've wronged you again, this should have been your credit, my mother's skin is really thicker than a city wall."
"It's actually a good thing, no one will believe me if I say I bought it, Mom is saving us a lot of trouble." Samuel smiled.
Yvonne knew that Samuel would not be bothered about these things but she would feel uneasy if she did not voice that out.
"I still have to say I'm sorry on her behalf," Yvonne apologized.
Samuel looked at Yvonne in a serious manner and said, "There's a way to compensate if you’re feeling guilty."
"How do I do that?" Yvonne looked at Samuel curiously.
Samuel frowned. She wsa not eyeing on the mountainside villa, was she? He would not accept that. 2
The villa was given to Yvonne and no one else had the right to take it away.
The mountain road was difficult to navigate through and even more strenuous for an old lady. She was already out of breath after trekking up a few steps.
The old lady's expression was cold as she looked at Samuel and ordered, "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that I can't walk, come over and carry me!"
Samuel walked up to the old lady and squatted down, looking like he had no qualms.
"Be careful, you can't compensate if you drop me.
"Walk faster, haven't you eaten?"
The old lady's impatience was indescribable. There was finally someone from the Sue family living in Cloudridge. Furthermore, it was in the mountainside villa. Although she was physically at the foot of the mountain, her heart had already reached the mountainside. She complained about Samuel's walking speed and cursed a little.
Yvonne looked at the old lady's attitude toward Samuel and just want to knock the old lady unconscious with the cane in her hand. She wanted to say this villa was bought by Samuel, no one had the right to point fingers at him.
