I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 138
She was the one who poked fun of David the most since the afternoon, and she was also very picky
about David.
Ken had no son, so he could not pass down the Smith family name but Aunt Mary had a son, so she
could.
Hence, even though Ken was the most promising person in the Smith family, the Old Master Smith had
always favored his second son because he had a male heir.
Ken was also very filial, so with Old Master Smith interfering in the middle, his second son would get
the most benefit among the relatives.
They even mentioned to Old Master Smith secretly that if Ken gave all of his assets to his two
daughters i n the future, then that money would no longer have anything to do with the Smiths.
They wanted the old master to get some of that inheritance from him.
Now that David’s identity as a kid from a super-wealthy family had been exposed, Aunt Mary was the
happiest.
David definitely would not be interested in the Smiths’ property, and he would even help the Smiths
grow. When that happened, she would be able to get a bigger inheritance.
It was possible that one day her family would have hundreds of millions of assets. If that was the case,
she would not need to work so hard. How great would it be to just be a rich woman?
As she thought about this, Aunt Mary looked at David with a smile on her face, just like a mother-in-law
looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the happier she became.
“Mr. Lidell, thank you for your generosity that allowed the Smiths to make a comeback. I am toasting
this t o you again. I’ll drink it now, take your time.”
The adults at the two tables toasted David one after one.
The most obvious change was how they addressed him now. In the afternoon, they were calling him
David or Dave, but now, they were all calling him Mr. Lidell.
Also, when everyone toasted David in the afternoon, they would only stop once David finished his
drink.
However, right now, they would all drink first while David only took small sips. They would not dare to
say anything even if David did not drink.
This was the change of status and position.
The dinner continued.
David had become the star of the dinner.
Now, everyone was respecting David either intentionally or otherwise. If he wanted to eat something,
that food would stop in front of him for a very long time.
The host and guest of the dinner had enjoyed themselves. When it was almost over, the door was
pushed open. They thought it was the waiter, but a rough voice sounded. It was obviously not the
sound of a waiter.
“Mr. Smith, here you are! It was so hard to find you.”
When Ken heard the voice, his expression changed.
The person came with a fierce look. He even had a few men following behind him, and it was obvious
that
he was not a good person.
After entering the room, he slapped Ken on the shoulder with such force that the knife in Ken’s right
hand fell to the ground.
“Eric, what are you doing? This is a family gathering, don’t make trouble here,” Ken said angrily.
“I’m making trouble? Why would I still trouble you if you’ve already dealt with our affairs? You’re rich
and you’ve made a comeback now, plus you’re the famous Mr. Smith again. What’s wrong? Am I
nothing to you now?” Eric Waters asked while narrowing his eyes.
“Eric, this is between you and Harvey. It has nothing to do with me or the company,” Ken said.
Harvey Neale was Ken’s former partner. He stole all the company’s property and even borrowed a lot
of money under the company’s name.
Ken had paid back all the money. After all, it was borrowed in the name of the company, and he was
still the legal representative of the company, so he needed to repay the debt. He could only blame
himself for making friends with the wrong person.
However, it was Harvey who got a personal loan from Eric, and it stood to reason that Ken should not
be blamed for this.
Since Eric could not find Harvey now, he could only seek out his former company and Ken. Moreover,
Eric was also a well-known local tyrant, and he had a lot of men working under him.
A lot of people were causing trouble in Ken’s company these few days. They were all asking Ken to
pay u p. When Ken called the police, they would leave and when the police left, they would come back.
As the saying goes, ‘it is better to offend the nobleman than the villain.’
This was what it meant. Ken felt very helpless with Eric’s tireless accosting.
He also thought about repaying the money, but Eric not only asked for the principal of 500 thousand,
but h e also asked for 1 million in interest, which was a total of 1.5 million.
Only then did Ken give up the thought of paying him to get rid of this problem. Once someone like Eric
got some benefit, he would become like a shark that smelled blood. It would be impossible to get rid of
him once he got close.
