“Exactly! That’s how it is!”
Selena managed an awkward smile. If her mother ever found out that Fane had used his money to buy two cars worth over 5 million, she would probably tell Fane to dig through his wallet in front of her.
Fortunately, Fane was quick on his feet. He just shoved the responsibility toward Tanya.
“The Drake family sure is rich. They let you two drive company cars, and they’re such luxurious models too!”
“How much did she spend to buy this?” Ben asked Fane with excitement.
“Not a lot, about 2.7 million per car!” Fane grinned.
“2.7 million per car... Just as I thought: A car like this would at least cost 2 million, and it’s actually 2.7 million per car. My God, it’s amazing. This is a car that a man should drive!”
Ben was so excited that he gave a small jump. His body was practically quivering with delight.
“Then don’t tell me that two cars come to over 5 million in total? My God, a rich man’s world is unimaginable!”
Xena was stunned too. She swallowed a bitter gulp.
She had intended to see if she could mingle with the upper class through Ben. After all, he was an aristocrat. Of course he had been chased out of the family, but who knew if Old Master Taylor saw the light one day.
She never thought that to those who were truly wealthy, 5 million was a drop in the bucket.
“These are ours! They’ll be ours!” Fiona exclaimed.
A satisfied smile lit up Joan’s face. Everything would be all right so long as her son lived a good life.
She had always believed that her son would not let the Taylors down. Fiona and Andrew—as well as other members of the Taylor family—would certainly acknowledge her son eventually.
“Oh, right. Did you help to look for my money this afternoon, Fane?”
Fiona raised the question when the hype had died down.
Fane’s lips curved into a stiff smile. “We did poke around for a bit, but there are no clues as of now. Miss Tanya called us by then and asked us to pick out a car. At first, I thought she was taking us to choose a regular car, but who knew that she would actually take us into a Porsche store.”
“You should start looking harder, then. I did give you seven days after all. You either find the money, or you pay me that amount of money. Got it?”
