"He must have lied to me! He is such a liar!"
Derila was fuming mad. She had handed the two sacks of money over to the bankers and let them count while she talked to her kids over the phone.
After that, she took her ATM card and left. She didn't even bother to ask how much she had.
Derila didn't realize she was paid peanuts up till this day.
I thought something was wrong with the internet banking system just now. But now that I think about it, I must have been deceived by Zayn.
"Zayn Giblo!"
Derila ran down furiously to get even with Zayn. However, Zayn's Rolls-Royce had sped off by the time she reaches the porch.
She stomped her feet in anger and cursed through gritted teeth. "You're a big fat liar!"
"Calm down, Derila. Tell me what's going on. I'll deal with it."
Carla chased after her and coaxed.
"Oh, right. His wealth is shared with you since you're a couple. You can deal with it…"
Derila led her upstairs and said vehemently.
"I'm being reasonable here. Let me show you the medical bills. I've recorded it all down everytime I treat your husband when he was on his death bed. He even stamped it with his thumbprint. This is the money that saved his life. He can't just take advantage of me like that."
"That's right. I won't let that happen. I'll pay you the money."
Carla said airily. However, she was stunned when she saw the bill. "F-Fourteen billion?"
"Yeah." Derila pointed at the bill and explained each item to her. "These are his medical fees. These are the fees I charged for saving his life. These are…"
"I couldn't be bothered to keep track anymore toward the end and suggested that he pay with half his wealth. He agreed but only gave me five million. He even lied to me. This is totally unacceptable!" Derila added.
"You're right. He shouldn't have done that. I apologize on his behalf." Carla felt that it was a sticky situation. "But I don't have that much money right now, Derila. How about I give you part of it first. I'll deal with him when he returns."
"I am right about you, Carla. You're a reasonable woman, unlike your husband and your brother."
Derila grabbed Carla's hand and said excitedly, "This is my bank account's number. You can transfer it to me."
"Okay." Carla transferred the three billion she had on hand to Carla's account and even threw in some jewelry.
"Derila, this ruby necklace is worth one billion. This black diamond bracelet is worth 80 million. I have yet to appraise the Heart of the Ocean, but it's probably worth a few billion. You can have it first…"
"Carla, you're such a darling. I love you so much!"
Derila wrapped her arms around Carla excitedly and kissed her on the cheek.
"Derila, these jewelries are worth a lot of money. Their value might even appreciate in the future. You must take good care of it and don't lose it."
Carla held onto Derila's hand and said solemnly, "Also, I will send someone to escort you back to Erihal. You must work things out with Daemon once you meet him…"
"Okay. I promise you."
Derila was overjoyed. She held on to the jewelry and asked, "Carla, how much is the pink diamond ring you gave me when we first met worth?"
"70 million at the moment…"
"70 million?" Derila smiled happily. "Then all these add up to more than ten billion."
"You can say so." Carla nodded. "It's a lot of money. Take good care of it."
"Haha. I'm rich now. Daemon won't dare look down on me ever again. Haha. I'll rub it into him if he ever dares look down on me again."
Carla was speechless.
