I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 307
The next day was the weekend.
Celia had originally planned to sleep in, but she was woken up by Mindy early in the morning.
“Mom! What’s wrong? Can’t you let me sleep in a little more on the weekends?” Celia asked blearily.
“Get up, Celia! There’s something I need to ask you!” Mindy said urgently.
“What is it, mom? Can’t it wait until I wake up again later?”
“No! Get up right now!”
A moment later, Mindy pulled off Celia’s blanket.
She had waited the entire night to interrogate Celia. If not for Jon, she would have come and asked her questions the previous night itself.
“Get down there! Your dad and I are waiting for you downstairs!” Mindy said before she left.
With her blanket uncovered, Celia had no other choice but to crawl up from bed sleepily. After slowly washing up, she went downstairs and saw her parents sitting on the sofa.
Neither of them had slept last night, only taking a small nap when it was almost dawn. Both of them looked far from well-rested, as if something huge had happened.
“Mom, Dad, what happened? Why did you wake me up so early today?” Celia sat on the sofa and asked.
“Celia! I wanted to ask you something. Do you know someone called Hank Chasez?” Jon asked.
“Hank Chasez? Never heard of him, don’t know him,” Celia replied after some thought.
“Are you sure?”
“I really don’t know him. But there is this student in Greenwood called Hanley Chasez. They’ve got the same surnames but I don’t know if they’re related,” Celia replied.
Hanley Chasez?
Hank Chasez?
Jon and Mindy’s chests tightened when they heard the name. They had a gut feeling that those two men were related.
“Could you tell us more about this Hanley Chasez?”
“He’s just a male student that’s been pursuing me for quite a few years, but I never agreed to b e his girlfriend. I don’t talk to him much, and I don’t know much about him,” Celia replied.
“Pursued you for quite a few years? How’s his performance at school? Do you know anything about his family?”
“He’s not a bad student. I heard that the other students in Greenwood call him one of the Fantastic Four or something, so his family should be pretty powerful I guess? Why, Dad? Why ask about him so suddenly?”
Jon and Mindy shared a look.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it, go back to sleep. Your mom and I have something to talk about,” Jon said.
“I’ll be going up, then. Don’t come and bother me, let me sleep.”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
Celia went back upstairs.
“Jon! I feel like this Hanley might be involved in this,” Mindy said.
“Not might, I’m certain he is. There’s a possibility that Hanley is an alias Hank’s using, either that or the two of them are brothers. Hanley’s been pursuing Celia for years and yet nothing has happened. If he’s only targeting us now, then it might be because he saw Celia fetch David from school yesterday. Love can turn into hate very easily, and he might be taking revenge on Celia and David,” Jon deduced.
Having worked so many years among officials, Jon could not have kept his job if he could not make such a simple analysis.
“Yeah! It’s got to be that! So all of this is David’s fault, then!”
“Don’t say that. This has nothing to do with David. If anything, it’s our daughter’s fault for being so outstanding,” Jon chuckled wryly.
Despite knowing the reason now, Jon still had no solution for a hatred stemming from unrequited love and jealousy.
This was unless Jon decided to split his daughter and David apart, then arrange for his daughter and Hanley to be together. Unfortunately, he did not have it in him to do such a thing.
Yet, there was no other solution to this problem.
Jon sighed.
It seemed like he was doomed to live in seclusion in a rural house. Jon looked at Mindy
