Chapter 171
The check was written for 2 billion.
The unit was Oro.
Oliver was a little stunned. Prince Fermin was really generous.
But before Oliver could come back to his senses, Fermin’s butler handed over another pile of documents. Fermin pushed the documents gently in front of Oliver and said sincerely, “Mr. Eastwood, this is part of my family’s fund, which manages all our foreign investments, including most of the top technology companies in the world’s top 500 companies. The total value of our fund is more than 20 trillion Atharian dollars, and this is part of the shares in my name, accounting for five percent of the total shares of the fund. There are too many complicated things involved, so the most I can give you is 5%, which is the limit, but I think it should be OK, because my family members are counting on you to cure the disease, and money is nothing compared to life.”
Oliver was still a little dumbfounded, thinking about how much five percent of 20 trillion Atharian dollars was.
Oliver was never good at math and couldn’t calculate how much that share was worth. But he was certain that this amount of money was much greater than his current wealth, even worth much more than the 2 billion Oros check Fermin had given him.
Fermin then handed Oliver a pen and said, “Mr. Eastwood, please sign it.”
Oliver then signed in confusion.
After seeing Oliver’s signature, Fermin suddenly smiled, reached out, and shook Oliver’s hand a few times. Then Fermin said with a smile, “It’s all right now. You are already part of our family. Congratulations on becoming the husband of my favorite daughter Cassia!”
Oliver was dumbfounded and said sullenly, “Sir, please don’t talk nonsense. When did I agree to be Cassia’s husband?”
Fermin pointed to the new contract and said with a smile, “You just signed it. According to the contract, if you are to receive five percent of our family fund, you must become Cassia’s husband. You are now a legal super billionaire with a wealth of 10 trillion Atharian dollars, albeit a hidden one, and my family’s trust bank butler will take care of any problems for you.”
Oliver shook his head and refused without hesitation. “No, I don’t agree. You were lying to me.” Fermin also shook his head and said, “Oliver, I definitely didn’t mean to cheat you. I looked into your information, and I know you have a fiancee, but that’s not a problem. Our family does not need you to disclose your relationship with us, and Cassia will not go with you to live in your country, and the hidden wealth and power of my family will not be exposed to the public, so Cassia’s relationship with you will not be exposed, and your future life will not be affected at all.”
Oliver was dumbfounded again.
Fermin gently patted Oliver on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. It’s a good thing for you to be one of us. You will know later that we will be your strongest backing.”
In a daze, beautiful and gorgeous Cassia came in with a cup of hot tea and handed it to Oliver. “Oliver, please try the tea I made for you. This premium earl grey has a pleasant fragrance.”
Oliver took a sip and smelled the light fragrance.
Cassia said to him with a smile, “You go somewhere with me later.”
Cassia didn’t say where she was going, and Oliver didn’t know how to answer. Fermin smiled and went out with the butler.
Cassia took Oliver back to the living room. Shark was waiting anxiously. When Shark saw Oliver coming out, Shark breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Oliver, “How are you, Oliver? Did old Fermin make things difficult for you?”

“No…” Oliver didn’t know how to answer. He couldn’t say anything about his contract and relationship with Fermin, nor did he want to.
Oliver hesitated for a moment and then said to Shark, “He asked me to treat him and gave me 2 billion Oros.”
“2 billion Oros?”
Shark was startled. He took the check in Oliver’s hand and checked it carefully, only to find that it was
true.
Shark wondered what disease was worth 2 billion Oros.
As a wealthy tycoon, Shark knew Fermin’s undisclosed identity, but his knowledge about it was limited. Shark was only aware that he couldn’t afford to offend Fermin and that Fermin had the power to easily ruin him.
Fortunately, Fermin didn’t pick on Oliver, so Shark was relieved.
Shark was about to tell Cassia that he wanted to take Oliver back, but Cassia said to him first, “Shark, you go home. I’ll take Oliver to have fun.”
“You will take Oliver to have fun?”
Shark was stunned again. Before he could say anything, Cassia took Oliver out and said to Oliver as she walked, “Follow me.”
Shark smiled bitterly, but he didn’t dare to stop them. Besides, Shark had a keen sense that Cassia had no malice towards Oliver, not at all.
Oliver didn’t know where Cassia was taking him, and Oliver was pulled into her car as soon as he went
out
It was a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, which was not ostentatious at all for a rich and beautiful woman like Cassia.
Instead of going downtown, Cassia drove toward the road by the sea.
Oliver was unfamiliar with this place, so he didn’t know where Cassia was going. He had no choice, but he knew Cassia wouldn’t hurt him anyway.
Half an hour later, Cassia drove to a small harbor that was clearly not a commercial port but a gathering place for private luxury yachts full of rich people.
There were all luxury yachts moored here. As soon as Cassia arrived, the port security guards came out to greet her, and then the person in charge of the yacht management office came out to receive her with a smile. A security guard even took the initiative to drive Cassia’s car to the parking garage.
The manager asked Cassia with a big smile, “Miss Cassia, which yacht are you sailing today?”
Hearing this, Oliver smiled bitterly, amazed at the luxurious life of these rich people
The yachts here were almost all worth more than 20 million dollars, and ordinary rich people didn’t deserve to come here.
Cassia nodded and said, “I don’t want anything too big. I will go to sea with my friend. A yacht too big is not convenient. I’ll take my three-story yacht. It’s fast and well equipped.”
The manager nodded and glanced at Oliver quietly.
The manager was somewhat curious. Cassia was a famous cold and gorgeous beauty, with almost no rumors. She was always proud and no one ever said she had a lover.
The manager thought, “People think Cassia’d like a guy who’s more or less like her, but why would she be dating a Clusian guy?”
