Chapter 1521 Grand Scheme
Davin threw her a glance and replied, “Yes, there’s good news.”
“What is it? Did money just fall from the sky? Or did you win the lottery?” Sheila asked as she studied him with curiosity.
Davin thought about it, looked up at her, and boasted, “Your guess is not too far off. I’m about to receive a huge sum of money.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s true!”
If it were Juan who promised the money, there is a possibility of him going back on his words. But Kyle is a man of his words, like Evan. If he says he will pay, the money will surely be there!
There was nothing for Davin to worry about. That was why he could be so confident about it in front of Sheila.
Seeing his certainty, she asked, “What money? Did you sign a new contract? Or perhaps, you have saved a certain beautiful woman, and now, she is repaying you?”
“What are you talking about? Wait for me to come back. I will tell you in detail later on.”
“Sure. I want half of the money.”
Davin stopped in his tracks and shouted, “Why should I do that? All of my assets are in your hands. Now that I have some side income, do you also want a share of it as well? That’s not the way to do things, all right?”
“Fine. Then I want one-third of it. That should be fine, isn’t it? If you refuse to give me one-third of it, then you can forget about going anywhere, and you can forget about your side income as well.”
Although Davin was displeased, he had no choice but to agree. At most, he would ask Kyle for more money.
“Fine! So be it!”
He glanced at Sheila before walking toward the garage.
When Davin arrived at the café, Kyle was already waiting for him in the private room.
“Kyle, am I late?”
“Uncle Davin, please take a seat.”
“Sure. Did you order this cup of coffee?”
“Yes. Take a sip and see if it’s okay for you.”
After tasting the coffee, Davin commented, “It’s quite nice. Speaking of which, let me foot the bill later. After all, I am here to make money out of you. Surely, I cannot let you pay for the bill.”
“It’s nothing. We are family after all, so there’s no need for that.”
Davin said nothing.
This fellow is so polite today. Maybe he wants to negotiate about the fee?
No, I cannot let him do that. He has no lack of money. Furthermore, when I get back, I will have to give one-third of the money to Sheep. Anything less won’t be worth it for me.
“Kyle, what is it that you want to ask me? Now, let me be clear. If it’s a very important question, then it will cost you ten thousand for each question. If it’s not that important, then I will answer it at no charge. What do you think? Is that okay with you? I’m only charging you this much because we are related!”
Kyle thought about it and agreed, “Fine.”
Just like that? What exactly does this fellow want to ask?
“All right then. Ask away. I will do my best to answer your questions.”
“Uncle Davin, my questions have something to do with the Maupay family.”
Davin was taken aback. He did not know much about the Maupay family.
“So, Kyle, what is it that you want to know?”
“Uncle Davin, before the Maupay family disappeared, was there any dispute between them and Seet Group? Or was there any bad blood between Steven and my daddy?”
Davin thought for a while and answered, “Nope. Back then, when the Maupay family was just about to take off, Seet Group was already doing very well. Money was rolling in from all directions. Your daddy was busy taking care of business at Seet Group. Where would he find the time to do anything to Steven?”
“So, why does Steven hate my daddy and the Seet family so much? Uncle Davin, you should understand. Nobody hates another person for no apparent reason. There must be something more to it. Perhaps, you aren’t aware of it? Can you ask around?”
“Kyle, to be honest, I suspect that the disappearance of the Maupay family and the rumors that linked Seet Group to it were all part of Steven’s grand scheme.”
