Chapter 14 - One Billion Dollars
Swanstrom looks at Maddison's back as she is led upstairs by Taylor.
It seems that the slap in the face she received from Taylor was well worth it.
But it was also the last time Taylor could hit her.
After Maddison went upstairs, Morgan approached Swanstrom and said, "Swann, I think your nickname is Swann, right?"
Swanstrom nodded, her tweed name duplicating Maddison's, which she now kind of dislikes.
"Here's the deal, Swann."
Morgan sighed and spoke with a very difficult look: "Your sister was spoiled by me and did such a bad thing, I am also responsible. Originally it was necessary to call the police, but she is your sister after all, we are family. And nothing has happened to you, she has eaten her own evil, let's just forget about it, let's pretend nothing happened, but in private I will discipline her properly, I will also make up for you, okay?" Swanstrom's hands, hidden in the sleeves of his pajamas, slowly clenched.
What do you mean by "nothing happened to her either"?
If she had really been bitten by a snake, Maddison would have arranged everything and would not have alerted anyone.
By dawn, her body was cold, and Morgan was actually going to pretend that nothing had happened and just put Maddison in confinement for a month?
At this moment, Swanstrom got a clearer picture of Morgan's face.
He will not easily give up Maddison without compromising Morgan's own interests.
After all, one more daughter is one more bargaining chip to climb the ladder of power.
Morgan, is a total profit-minded person.
Swanstrom couldn't understand how his mother could look at such a person.
Swanstrom's heart was already cold, and the last vestiges of affection he had for Morgan were gone.
However, she did not reveal the slightest emotion on her face, revealing a thoughtful smile, nodding her head good-naturedly and saying, "I can't decide, so whatever you say, dad, my sister is still young, I won't blame her, I'll pretend nothing happened and continue to be good sisters with her. I just hope that my sister will not be upset about this."
"Don't worry, I will also make her forget about it, this matter, no one will mention it again, and you will be able to live in harmony."
"Will do." Swanstrom curled his lips up into a smile, revealing shallow dimples on either cheek.
Anyone who looks at it will feel that she is simple and understanding.
Morgan was relieved and then genuinely happy.
This daughter of his is not only beautiful, but also does not hold grudges and listens to him very well.
This daughter is more well behaved than he thought, well behaved is good, the best control......
"It's getting late, you must be in shock, go home early and get some rest, let me know if you need anything, I'll meet you if I can." Morgan was in a good mood, and he was extraordinarily generous, giving Swanstrom another card.
"There is another million in this card, plus the one I gave you, the two million you can spend as you like. Come to me when you've spent it, you can't live on as little as you did in the country now, you have to behave like a daughter of the Gardner family, tomorrow I'll have Tom take you to buy clothes."
"Thank you Daddy, you are so nice!"
Morgan's vanity was so satisfied that the displeasure of Maddison's trouble was swept away, and he went upstairs humming his brother.
Swanstrom came back to the room, and the knowing, good-natured smile on his face instantly disappeared.
Maddison is stupid, but she has a Taylor to protect her, and she has nothing.
She has only herself.
Swanstrom's palms slowly clenched as he lay somewhat helplessly on the bed, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
Maybe there's nothing wrong with being alone.......
Besides, she wasn't just alone. Her mom and dad abroad were very good to her and her brother, who relied on her a lot.
Her brother must have missed her so much during her absence.
Only, in order to keep them out of this fog, she has to cut off contact with them for the time being.
But when he thought of his brother, the corners of Swanstrom's mouth unconsciously curved up in a gentle curve.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
Swanstrom picked up and it was a friend of hers from M.
"SAN, how are you doing?" The other person had a pure cockney.
"I'm fine, Vincent. in fact I just got back home to the country and had a little incident, but it's resolved. What's the matter with you calling me?"
Swanstrom open mouth, also has a mouthful of pure cockney.
The other party was a bit embarrassed and said, "You know, I'm doing an Island project, but the expenses at the end of the project are very big, and I have some problems with my capital chain, so I want to ask if you can lend me some money or simply take this money into the stock?"
Swanstrom: "I'm also very impressed with your Island project, so here's the deal, how much do you need, I'd be happy to be one of you."
"That's great! I need a billion dollars on my side, is that convenient for you?"
"No problem." Swanstrom agreed in one fell swoop.
Swanstrom hung up the phone and contacted his personal financial steward abroad.
She transferred one billion dollars to Vincent's account through the computer and asked her lawyer to sign a contract with the other party to enter the shares.
When she was done, she glanced at the two bank cards Morgan had given her, smiled mockingly, and deleted all traces of the operation from her computer.
The other side.
Taylor took Maddison back to her room and finally broke into a tirade that she couldn't stand.
"You stupid bastard! I've told you many times not to take any action until you have complete information about Swanstrom, why don't you listen?"
Maddison sobbed with tears of anguish, "I didn't think it would turn out like this...... but, Mom, you have to believe me, that snake must have been put there by Swanstrom to bite me! I told Tia to put the snake in her room."
"Of course I know that!" Taylor hates irony.
Maddison froze and inquired in disbelief, "Then why don't you help me explain when you know the truth?" That Swanstrom woman, she's no good either!
Taylor sighed and said, "I've taught you so much, but you still haven't learned what it means to look at faces and do things. Your father obviously trusts her now, moreover, the snake was also put in her room by you first, at this time to explain, saying anything is useless, only to make your father more angry!"
"What about me? I can't just be slandered like that! Did you notice the looks in the servants' eyes? Everyone in the manor now thinks I deserve it."
Taylor stared for a moment and said, "It seems Swanstrom is more complicated and elusive than I thought, I will find out what she is as soon as possible. In the meantime, you must get along with her, even if you have to pretend that you know what's wrong and are willing to be good sisters with her. This way your father will be happy. You know, he hates backyard fires, as well as people who don't listen to him." "But...... I'm all locked up now and not going out at all."
Taylor reminded, "Silly boy, did you forget? In a week, you're going to get your certificate. Bear with it for a week, and then you'll make a big splash at the ceremony and it'll be over."
"Good! I'll practice this week and make sure I blow everyone's mind at the ceremony!"
"It's comforting to mom that you think that way......"
Five days have passed.
