I'M A QUADRILLIONAIRE - season 1 Episode 67

The next morning.

Golden Leaf Hotel chairman’s office.

“Miss Pearl, I’m planning to set up an investment company called East League International, but I don’t have time. So, I need someone I trust to help me set up my team. I hope you can help me!”

“Mr. Lidell, I’m scared that I’ll fail!” Pearl replied hesitantly.

She wanted to do it, but she was afraid that she was not capable enough and would wreck David’s big plans.

“Miss Pearl, you’re capable. You should go beyond this small hotel. You should go out and see the world.”

“… I’ll give it a try!”

“Go for it! The greatest support I can give you is unlimited financial resources. We’ll hire anyone you think i s capable. If someone is offering them one million dollars, we’ll offer five million, or even ten million. We’re not afraid to spend money as long as they’re good.”

“Okay! When shall I start?”

“The sooner the better!”

“Then I’ll start tomorrow!”

“Sure, call your parents over. We’ll have a meal together!”

After last night’s events, David thought Pearl had changed.

She used to be optimistic and cheerful.

Now, she was turning into a ruthless businesswoman.

To be honest, David still liked the old Pearl, who occasionally gave him a little unintentional temptation.

However, there was no other way. People would change after experiencing certain things.

On the other side.

Billy and the rest stayed in a regular hotel.

In the morning, everyone gathered and waited for Billy to decide what to do.

“Dad! What shall we do today?” asked Sam.

“What do we do? We’ll go straight to her hotel and find her!”

“But what if my sister doesn’t want to see us?”

“She doesn’t want to see us? I gave birth to her and raised her all these years, but she doesn’t want to acknowledge her own father now that she’s leading a good life? Then I’ll make a scene at her workplace s o that she can’t hold her head high in front of her colleagues.”

“Yes, let’s do that! It’s not that easy to get rid of us now that she’s grown up!” Leigh chimed in.

Minnie’s family said nothing, but they still hoped that Sam could get Pearl’s help. After all, it was related t o their daughter’s future.

The group was heading to Golden Leaf Hotel, where Pearl worked, when Pearl called and asked them to g o to the hotel for dinner.

“Dad! It seems that Pearl has compromised. We’re going to get the house and car!” Sam said happily.

Minnie was happy too. What was Sam’s was hers. She was going to have a fancy car too.

Billy also smiled and said: “Look at you. Your brother-in-law is a wealthy businessman living in a house worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He can’t handle such a big hotel by himself. Didn’t you say Pearl’s some manager? Ask her to give you a supervisory job!”

“Yes, she’s the general manager. She holds the most power besides David. I’ll ask him to arrange a job for Minnie and me.”

“Ask your sister to set you up with a supervisory job and put Minnie in charge of the money. That way, we can prevent your brother-in-law from having an affair with all his money, and you two can help your sister out a little,” said Leigh.

With that, they happily headed to Golden Leaf Hotel.

Upon arrival at the hotel, the waiter led them to private room number 1.

David and Pearl were already sitting inside, and the dishes were already served.

Looking at all the delicacies on the table, they gulped a little.

They had only seen kings on TV eat such good food!

They never expect themselves to be able to eat such food too.

“Uncle and Aunt, you have come a long way. I’ll treat you to a meal today. Help yourselves. I’ll ask the kitchen to make more if it’s not enough,” said David.

“Thank you, David!”

Sam sat down and helped him to the food, and several others followed.

“This lobster is delicious. Minnie, try some of this!”

“Mom and Dad, have some of this lobster too.”

“Why is this crab so big?”

“Mom, this is king crab. It’s crazy expensive. They cost thousands of dollars each.”

“What’s this? It’s black and melts in your mouth. It tastes so good.”

“This is caviar! This cost more!”

“This is abalone!”

“I don’t know it either!”

“This one tastes better!”

While they enjoyed themselves with the food, David got up and said, “Uncle and Aunt, take your time and enjoy the food. I gotta go. If the food’s not enough, ask Miss Pearl to inform the kitchen to make more.”

“David! You can go!” Sam replied with a mouthful of food.

David left, knowing Pearl had something to say to her family. He did not want to be there to interfere with her decision. He would support whatever decision she made anyway.

A few moments after David left, Pearl spoke.

“Pack up your things and go home when you’re done eating! I’ll transfer you money on time every month!”

“Pearl, I don’t want to go back anymore. Why don’t you arrange a job for me here?” Sam said.

Pearl thought about it. It would be a good thing if Sam could work there, so she said, “Give me your university diploma, and I’ll see which position suits you.”

Sam suddenly stopped talking, and the room became quiet.

Pearl kept staring at Sam.

Sam felt a little nervous. He had been afraid of Pearl before, but not as he was today.

Pearl’s gaze made him shudder.

Finally, he had no choice but to say, “Well… Pearl, I didn’t go to university!”

“Oh? You didn’t go to university? What happened to the money I saved up to send you to university then?” asked Pearl asked after taking a deep breath.

“Well… I lost some money gambling at the time, so I was forced to lie to you and say that I was admitted t o a university,” Sam said with a shudder.

“So the entire family conspired to trick me? I scrimped and saved even at the expense of my health such that I fainted at work, and you used the money I saved to pay off your gambling debts?”

“Sister, we had no other choice! Those debt collectors said they’d chop off my hand if I didn’t pay them! Mom and Dad had no choice but to lie to you! Pearl, I know I was wrong, but I’ve changed my ways and haven’t gambled since,” explained Sam.

“I can testify to that! Sammy did change!” Interjected Leigh. Pearl took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her fury!
