I'M A QUADRILLIONAIRE - Season 3 Episode 25

“It’s uncertain! Sometimes David finds time to come to Capital City during the holidays, and I’ll keep him company for a few days!” Whispered Celia.

She was not used to lying to her parents! “So you see each other every holiday during university?”

“Yes!”

“So you didn’t come back with your dad during your senior year because of David too?”

Celia gritted her teeth and replied, “Yes!”

“You…” Mindy was so mad she was speechless.

“When are you meeting next then?”

“David said he’s coming to Capital City in a few days!”

“Okay! Invite him to our house when he’s here. We can meet him and thank him!” Mindy stressed the word “thank”.

“He said he has something to do in Capital City!”

“What does a university student like him have to do? Isn’t that just an excuse to see you? Invite him over, you hear me?”

“Okay, got it!”

“Alright, we’re done with you. Go upstairs and rest!”

“Okay, good night, Mom and Dad!”

Celia went upstairs.

She had to figure out how to get David to come to her house and deal with her parents.

Jon and his wife were soon left alone in the living room.

“Jon, what are we gonna do about this?” Mindy asked with suppressed anger.

“Darling, calm down first!” Comforted Jon.

“How could I not be mad? Celia used to be so obedient. She never talked back to me, and now she’s talking back to me for a delivery boy. The piano, chess, painting, singing, dancing, and social etiquette I’ve gone out of my way to her learn are now all in vain!” Mindy fumed.

“How are they in vain? Isň’t she doing well?” Asked Jon.

“How are they not in vain? If Celia marries David, she will be living in a tiny house and won’t

even be able to afford a maid. She will have to do grocery shopping, cook, do laundry, clean, and take care of the kids. Aren’t all those skills have been learned for nothing? She will become a middle-aged woman with a haggard face in a few years. Why is this girl letting us down? Why won’t she understand my good intentions?”

“You’ll be here for her, won’t you? You make so much money. Why won’t you help them out a little?”

“You… Jon, do you want them to be together?”

“You just said it yourself! Why are you blaming me again?” Jon asked innocently.

“I… If Celia does marry Dávid, I’d rather donate all my money instead of giving them a single cent. Let them suffer! Let them live the life they chose!” Fumed Mindy.

“Do you want to see your daughter suffer? Do you want her to do grocery shopping, cook, do the laundry, clean, and look after the kids, and then let a gorgeous young girl appear older than even you a few years later?”

“…” Mindy was about to explode from anger.

“Alright! We might be able to turn this around. Think about it. How old was Celia back then? She fell in the middle of the road with a truck heading toward her. David happened to save her when she was at her most desperate. She must think highly of David. They were also classmates. It would be weird if they did not fall for each other when they spend every day together.”

“What should we do then? We can’t let her go on like this. It would be such a waste if such a brilliant daughter married a poor boy like David. We must find a way to separate them.”

“Let’s meet David first! Start with David and see if we could make him back off. If that doesn’t work, we’ll minimize their chances of seeing each other. During holidays, put aside your work for a while and take our daughter on a trip. Their feelings for each other will slowly fade away once they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. When she enters society after graduation and meets more outstanding men, she’ll realize she just wanted to repay David for saving her life and that it wasn’t love!”

Mindy thought about it for a moment before saying, “Okay, let’s do that!”
