He never cared about fame and wealth. He never cared about these external things. Even though he was despised because of the heir related incident ten years ayo, he could not be bothered.
He had been so carefree, yet in his sisterâs eyes, he was still that kind of person who could chase bis niece out of the family just for status.
âDonât judge me with your utilitarianism!â Dillonâs expression was cold as he turned around and left.
When Zhenny saw his angry back, she frowned. âJasmnine, your uncle is always gentle. What did you do to make him so angry?â Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, âThat soâcalled most beautiful woman in Sea City, Adina Daugherty, stole my boyfriend. I was furious, so I hired a marketing agency to slander her. Then, Uncle Dillon got angry. He even lost his temper at me. I donât even know what I did wrongly.â
Zhenny narrowed her eyes. Adina Daugherty! Adina had defeated her in the fight for Elitosâ project last time! Now her precious daughter had also been trounced by Adina!
However, Dillon was a goodânatured person. He did not care about fame, power, and wealth as well as anyone or anything. Why would he rebuke Jasmine for an outsider?
Dillon sat in his car while he lowered his head and looked at the picture on the phone screen.
They really looked alike. She looked exactly like a young Olivia. The fiftyâyearâold manâs eyes suddenly turned red.
He sat silently in his car for a long time. Once he calmed down, he made a call. âHow much cash can I use in my account?â
âYou have over $3,500,000, Mr. Jones.â
Dillon chuckled in resignation.
He was a fiftyâyearâold man, but he only had about $3,000,000 in his account.
He was indifferent to fame and fortune because he did not desire anything, but nowâ¦
If he wanted to suppress public opinion online, he had to spend a lot of money. He paused for a while before he said, âSell the artwork in my office. Sell it all today. Itâs fine if the price is lower. I need the money urgently.â âMr. Jones, itâs your favorite art piece. You spent over $10,000,000 to buy it. If you sell it today, Iâm afraid that people will reduce the price to $5,000,000.â
âIt doesnât matter. Just sell it.â
After Dillon hung up, he massaged his forehead. If he knew that this day would come, he would not have given away his position as heir ten years ago. Anyway, it did not matter. Although he was slightly poor, he was still much richer than most people in Sea City. All his properties would be sufficient for his family to have an easy life for the rest of their lives.
When he closed his eyes, the online news would pop up in his mind. He did not know what was true or fake, but he was sure that Adina had not lived well over the years.
Aaron Daugherty probably dared to treat Adina like that because she was not a blood descendant of the Daugherty family. Why did he not meet Adina earlier?
No, it should be, why did he not suspect Olivia at that time?
It caused him to miss his beloved womanâs funeral and miss their daughter for twenty-three years.
