Chapter 28
"I also get a share?" Matthew asked.
"Of course! If not for you, Ellawould've had to suffer, and we wouldn't have gotten five million dollars. You deserve half of it."
Matthew was tickled pink. Why would he reject such a windfall? He was getting 2.5 million dollars without having to do anything.
"Well, in that case, I won't stand on formalities, Mrs. Seymour," Matthew said as he cast a smug look at Gideon He no longer thought it was Gideon who saved Elara, either. Only a big shot could get Nino to humble himself and hand over five million dollars as a token of his apology. Neither Gideon nor the Snows could do it.noveldrama
Gideon was also thoroughly disappointed with Marion and Elara. Why didn't they use their brains? Did they not stop and consider what kind of family the Carters were? How could they get Nino to back down?
"I'm heading home, Dad," Gideon said before leaving the room. He didn't want to waste any more of his breath on them.
Marion glared at Arnold and complained, "See that? That's the son-in-law you chose. What kind of man is he? Not only is he incompetent, but he also likes to brag and pretend to be something he's not! He doesn't have his feet on the ground at all, and he lacks self-awareness. He won't amount to anything!"
"That's enough. Stop saying such things," Arnold chided. "Either way, he went over there to save Ella. That proves he has a good heart."
However, Marion wouldn't let up. "Look at him! How is he good enough for Ella? In my opinion, Ella and Matthew are a match made in heaven."
"Mom!" Elara protested, her face flushing scarlet.
Matthew let out an awkward chuckle.
Marion continued, "I think we should get Ella to divorce Gideon. Matthew, you can marry Ella instead. You're already good friends. That means you get along well, so why not take things one step further?"
"Mrs. Seymour, that..." Matthew didn't know what to say.
He never thought about marrying Elara. He only wanted to fool around with her- especially now that she was married. The thought of getting his hands on another man's wife made it even more thrilling to him.
But if Elara and Gideon got a divorce, it wouldn't be any fun anymore.
"That's enough!" Arnold snapped with a glare. His voice was grim as he continued, "Don't bring this up again. Gideon just got back to Goldspire. He hasn't gotten used to things yet, so it's not surprising that his actions can be a bit awkward at times. It'll get better once he has some time to adjust.
"Even though he and Ella don't have any feelings for each other now, they might develop some over time and once they get to know each other better."
Scoffing arrogantly, Elara declared, "Stop dreaming, Dad! I would never have feelings for Gideon."
Seeing that the Seymours were about to get into an argument, Matthew quickly stepped in. “Please stop, everyone. This is just a small matter. There's no reason to get worked up about it.
"I think Gideon hasn't done anything that crosses the line. It wouldn't be good to force him to get a divorce. Let's just wait a little while and see how things turn out."
"Matthew has a point," Arnold said.
Marion began showering Matthew with flattery, "Gideon doubted you and wasted to take your code, but you' still speaking in his defense! You're such a kind and magnahemous person. You really sanded you * Chuckling, Matthew said, "Well, Mr. Seymour, do rest wellll take my leave tow
He was just about to leave when he saw the box of cash. Hiseyes flickered as a scheme catre to atid
"Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, I'll be starting my new company soon, and Ms. Avila of Avila Group has dualy dested to make an initial investment of 30 million dollars into the company.
"She'll be investing more in the future so that the company can grow as quickly as possible and become a mighty corporation."
"You're incredible, Matthew!" Elara praised. "You managed to get 30 million dollars from Mrs. Alla during the alpha funding period! Few people in Goldspire's business world can achieve such success."
"You're a talented young man," Marion chimed in.
Smiling, Matthew said, “I was just lucky. Actually, I'd like to suggest something Mr. and Mrs. Seymon, if you don't have any pressing need for the money, you can invest all five million dollars into the company
