Chapter 114 Gold Mine
Garry winced at the amount. "Only twenty thousand? It should have been at least two hundred thousand dollars."
Garry often took money from Edmund who was very generous when it came to giving him money. When he heard the amount Chelsea had given, a look of disappointment crossed his face.
Hilton was annoyed by his son's lack of patience. "What's the rush? There will be plenty of opportunities to milk money out of her, don't you think so?"
Hilton continued, "She gave me the money without much hesitation, so I'm guessing she has a lot of money with her. I don't believe she divorced Edmund without taking a penny from him.
After all, she has married such a wealthy man. Why wouldn't she make use of this opportunity? Only a fool would come out of such an alliance empty-handed.
I don't think time has changed her much. She seems pretty weak even now. We could easily bully her into giving us money." When Hilton envisioned a future where Chelsea would lavishly give him money, his mood suddenly brightened up. "It looks like we made the right choice by keeping her in our family. Who would have thought she would turn into a gold mine?"
Garry burst into laughter when he heard this.

Hilton wasn't the kind of man who would give up easily. He came up with a solution. "It doesn't matter. Isn't she a scriptwriter in a film and television company? Let's go to her company to make a fuss and see if she would show up.
If she still refuses to see us, we will make it impossible for her to work there properly. If she still doesn't give in, we will make her lose her foothold in the script writing field."
