Fiona just recalled what she heard earlier after Ben and Xena left. Selena had been saying something about going out to eat over the phone and spending around 300 thousand bucks. It seemed that they had really been out for dinner.
"Don't mention it anymore, mom. It was such a disaster. And it was my first time eating at a six-star hotel too! It's all because of that Procurement Department Head-Sonia Neal!" 1
Selena sighed before telling Fiona why she had to treat them to a meal at such a fancy place.
"That department head is an opportunistic b*tch.
She's just looking for an excuse to get you out of the way because she doesn't want to see you become manager!" Fiona said. "I'll help you with this meal. You have to show everyone what you can do! If you really treat everyone to a meal, the other workers will definitely listen to you from now on!"
Fiona felt resentment in her daughter's place when she heard that. A frown quickly creased her forehead. " Then where are you getting the 300 thousand from? Don't you only have 100 thousand on you?"
"Fa-Fane was the one who took out 200 thousand bucks when we went to eat!" 1
Selena looked at Fane, a wry smile twisting her lips.
"No way. This guy actually still has two hundred thousand left? It looks like he has a bonus of three million after retiring from the military!
"It’s not possible that he spent it all, right? What about the rest of his money?"
Fiona's eyes brightened after she heard this.
"He only spent six-six hundred thousand. There's still 1.4 million left!"
Andrew hauled himself onto his feet. He looked at Fane after he spewed out that last piece of advice. " Fane, my leg really feels better now," he said. "Help me continue the therapy tomorrow morning.”
"Sure thing, father!” Fane replied, smiling.
"Brother Scar, we finally found where Selena and her family are living at. It's just up front, not too far from here!”
After a while, past eleven o'clock at night, an underling came before Scar and his men to report the status. 1
"All right. Let’s go. Ned, you better treat me to a drink after I help you get your revenge!" The scar-faced man said toward Ned, chuckling coldly.
"No worries. We'll drink the house down!" Elation leaped in Ned's heart. He speared straight for Fane’s house of residence, a group of men in tow.
