Chapter 505: 505: She Should Give Us (2 Chapters Combined into One)
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
âMom, I canât live in such a small house.â Wendy Clarke said after hearing it, âLook at our house now, weâre used to living in a villa, how can we live in such a small house?â
Joshua Clarke took the opportunity to say, âItâs not easy for our child in Belfard, letâs not bother with that.â
âWhat do you mean by âbotherâ!â Christy Xenos was unhappy to hear that.
She didnât care if Zoe Silverstone was still there and wasnât afraid of being laughed at: âDidnât you just hear? Cindy Clarke is rich now! An advertisement pays 500,000! Even if she doesnât take ads every day, letâs say a few less, she takes three or four a month, she earns millions a month!â
âA person who earns millions a month, do you think she would buy a small house in Belfard? Even if she canât buy a villa, there must be condos, right? If thereâs no condo, at the very least, there must be a three or four-bedroom place! Canât we still live there?â
âUnless she is unwilling to let us live there, otherwise, we canât possibly not have a place to live.â Christy Xenos said, âBesides, sheâs so rich now, even if her house is too small for us, she could rent us a bigger place.â
âRenting a house is not expensive, if she takes out 30 or 50 thousand a month for us to rent a house, I donât need it to be too big, a three-bedroom place is enough.â Christy Xenos shouted, âHow can we not afford that?â
âA person who earns millions a month, asking her to take out 30 or 50 thousand for rent, is just a fraction! She hasnât contacted our family for five years, hasnât given a cent to the family, who knows how much money she has saved up secretly!â
âHa! This is your good daughter.â Christy Xenos pointed to Joshua Clarke and said, âAll these years, our family has relied solely on Wendy. She runs the restaurant single-handedly, earning money to support the family, giving us a new villa, allowing us to retire early.â
âYou get to walk around every day without working, enjoying your leisurely days, isnât it because of Wendy? Our family has been supported by Wendy alone for all these years! Cindy Clarke is living a carefree life in Belfard, and we have raised her for 19 years, but she hasnât given a penny to the family!â
âNow we are going to Belfard to find her, whatâs wrong with living at her place? Whatâs wrong with letting her rent a place for us? Thatâs all for the 19 years of nurturing, plus these five years combined, she owes it to us!â
âJoshua Clarke, listen to yourself, are you being fair to Wendy? You are willing to spend Wendyâs money, and you donât feel pain. But youâre already feeling pain before we even ask Cindy Clarke for money in Belfard?â
âDid you forget that your beloved younger daughter has ignored you for the past five years?â Christy Xenos questioned Joshua Clarke.
Joshua Clarke was left speechless by Christy Xenos.
Regarding Christy Xenosâ question, Joshua Clarke could not say a single word in retort.
Because he could not refute anything she said.
The saddest thing for him was that Cindy Clarke hadnât contacted him in the past five years.
If Cindy Clarke was having a hard time and didnât contact him for fear of causing him trouble, that would be understandable.
After all, Cindy Clarke had always been like that, thinking about her family and not wanting to cause them any trouble.
That was her character.
But if she was doing well, why wouldnât she contact him and let him rest assured?
Not contacting him for five years, he didnât know how many bad ideas had been born in his heart, worrying that Cindy Clarke had encountered some misfortune or was in danger.
As a result, Cindy Clarke had been doing just fine for the past five years.
And her career was outstanding.
Was she not contacting him because she was afraid the family would ask her for money?
But he wouldnât do that!
However, Joshua Clarke didnât consider his easily swayed nature.
If Cindy Clarke contacted him, wouldnât Christy Xenos and Wendy know immediately?
Would Cindy Clarke still have peace then?
If only Joshua Clarke could stand firm and be a real head of the family.
Then Cindy Clarke wouldnât have to be like this.
Wendy, on the side, shed tears of grievance and said, âYou gave birth to me and raised me, and now itâs my turn to be able to support you. Itâs what Iâm supposed to do. But dad, you canât just think that all these responsibilities should be mine.â
âSupporting you is my duty, but I canât take on even Cindy Clarkeâs share naturally. I can act filial on her behalf too, but you shouldnât assume itâs something I should do,â Wendy said.
Joshua Clarke hesitated to speak, sighed, and hung his head.
Seeing Joshua Clarkeâs droopy demeanor, Christy Xenos knew that Joshua Clarke had been persuaded again.
âLetâs pack up our things and head to Belfard as soon as possible.â Christy Xenos made the decision.
She asked Zoe Silverstone, âBy the way, when do you plan to go back?â
âI plan to go back as soon as possible. If you can go to Belfard in the next few days, we can go together. But you probably have a lot to deal with. If itâs going to be delayed, I canât keep waiting here.â
âAh!â Zoe Silverstone sighed, âIâm not like I used to be, this time I came here spending my own savings. Being forced by Cindy Clarke, I have no income now and really canât afford it.â
âWhy donât we exchange contact information?â Wendy suggested, âOnce in Belfard, I think we will certainly need to contact each other for many more opportunities.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zoe Silverstone immediately understood Wendyâs meaning and exchanged contact information with her on the spot.
âBy the way, from what Uncle said just now, you guys are planning to open a restaurant in Belfard?â Zoe Silverstone asked again.
âYes.â Christy Xenos said proudly, âAfter all, Nork City is too small, and the restaurant Wendy runs here is already the highest-end restaurant in Nork City. Thereâs nothing to improve.â
âBesides, the market in Nork City is only this big, and our restaurant has already saturated the market.â When Christy Xenos talked about it, she was quite knowledgeable, âThatâs why we need to open a restaurant in a bigger market.â
âWendy analyzed that Belfard is the capital, has a big market, high consumption, and more wealthy people. Opening a restaurant in Belfard will offer better prospects for development.â
Christy Xenos spoke proudly, âBy then, we will open one branch after another in Belfard, then expand to S City, and eventually spread across the country. The one in Nork City will be the main branch. The customers always appreciate the original store and think it tastes better. By then, everyone will come to Nork City to
For what?
Christy Xenos forgot.
âTo make a pilgrimage,â Wendy explained.
âRight, to make a pilgrimage!â Christy Xenos hastily agreed.
Zoe Silverstone thought to herself, you country bumpkins have never seen the prosperity of Belfard.
There are so many high-end restaurants, and their prices are unimaginably high.
Did they really think that having a high-end restaurant in Nork City would work in Belfard?
Your so-called high-end restaurant in Nork City would just be an ordinary place in Belfard.
The consumption level of Nork City and Belfard is incomparable.
