After listening to Terence's explanation, she carefully patted her chest and put her heart at ease. Compared to someone like him, she looked like an unfortunate and innocent child. How on earth could she have known that they were capable of burning through several billion dollars without so much as batting an eyelid?
So, it was perfectly understandable for her to react in the way that she did.
All of a sudden, she came to a realization of just how wealthy and over-the-top the AJ Group really was.
"Terence, I don't mean to offend you, but how much property does your family own at the moment?"
Carla wanted to know, again, out of curiosity, as she broke into a smile and her eyes glistened.
However, much to her surprise, after he stopped for a while to think about it, he finally opened his mouth and said, "I don't have any idea. But if you're really interested to find out, I can go ahead and ask the accountant."
"Ah? You don't even have the slightest clue as to how much money you have?"
Carla couldn't believe her ears. 'How could someone be so oblivious to how much money he had?
Am I too poor to comprehend these kind of wealthy people? Is his pocket so deep that its depth is something I could never hope to imagine?' she thought to herself.
"The AJ Group receives around a hundred billion dollars' worth of revenue from the real estate industry each year. As for the other main industries, those generate somewhere around two hundred billion dollars revenue in total. And all of those are just the branches under the AJ Group. I established my own startup company when I was seventeen years old. The company's goal was to research and develop something that I was interested in at the time. Probably about five or six years ago, the company's net profit was a bit over one hundred million dollars. And..."
"All right, all right. That's enough. I get it now. I don't want to hear it anymore!"
Carla blurted out, covering Terence's mouth to shut him up. Since she had had the experience of sitting on the senior management board of a company in the past, she knew full well that if the real estate industry could have over one hundred billion dollars in revenue every year, then its net profit would, at the very least, be around twenty billion per year. If she were to consider all of his other industries together, the total amount would most likely be beyond her comprehension!
And that was only taking into account the annual profit. Since the AJ Group had been around for such a long time, it made perfect sense that he honestly had no idea how much money he had!
"You're the one who asked me about it!" Pulling her hands away from his mouth, Terence asked her with an arrogant grin on his face, "If you're interested to find out more, I'll have the accountant give you the exact number. Since you are my wife, it's only right that you should know how much money I have."
Deeply annoyed, Carla furiously glared at him for flashing his wealth straight up to her face. In a scornful manner, she retorted, "My god, this is so unfair! I worked my ass off in the company day in and day out only to make tens of thousands of dollars per year. After spending all of my money on living expenses, I would hardly have a single penny left inside my pocket. And now you're telling me that you don't even know how much money you have?"
"Carla, please don't look at it that way. See, if the entire world was completely fair and just; filled solely with happiness, then nobody would ever have the courage to stand up against the difficulties and do incredible things. Above all else, the AJ Group has been through a lot of hard times as well before it managed to reach where it is standing right now. After trying to come up with solutions step by step, our persistence fortunately paid off and, as you know, we've gained what we currently have,"
Terence remarked, as she gently pinched his cheek. Then, he went on and added, "Not to mention, everything that I have is yours. Shouldn't you be happy that I am good at making money?"
Instinctively, Carla touched her tummy and asked him with a soft smile, "And is all of that money going to belong to our child?"
"Of course, that should go without saying. But then again, it would also depend on whether it is going to be a good person or not..."
"That's right. If our child ends up being an overindulgent one in the future, then there's no way we can just let him or her throw money around like confetti."
While saying that, she gestured as though she was about to hit her tummy.
Quickly grabbing a hold of her hands, Terence frowned as he stared at the vexatious look on her face. In the end, he couldn't help himself from bursting into laughter. "Carla, I was just kidding. How could I ever do that to our child? Since I possess great genes, I have absolute faith that my children will grow up to be as good as I am."
"Huh? Are you implying that you're the only one who possesses great genes?" Carla protested, as her lips curled upward. After saying that, she stretched out her arm to grab his phone, wanting to check what time it currently was.
She was starting to feel a bit hungry.
"Certainly not. My precious Carla is kind and smart. If our daughter can get your face, I couldn't possibly be any happier," Terence answered, wearing a joyful expression on his face. His glistening eyes were filled with so much fondness as he stared at her.

Just as she was about to turn off the screen, she heard his phone ring all of a sudden.
It seemed as though someone had sent him a message.
Apart from that, Carla also noticed that the sender's profile picture was the picture of a woman.
'What's that?' Carla wondered. Failing to hold back her curiosity, she ultimately clicked on the message.
