Chapter 2010 Borrowing Money
Davin thought that if they continued arguing, they would end on a bad note, which was disadvantageous to his objective. Clearing his throat, he coaxed in a gentler tone, “Sheila, don’t be angry. I swear that I’ll treat you nicely in the future.”
Sheila scrutinized him in disbelief. Men always lie! Who’d believe them even if they swore?
“Tell me! Are you treating me so nicely today because you did something bad?”
“No! I’m so busy every day that I don’t have time to do anything bad. Well… A manor caught my eye and I wanted to buy it. The underground palace’s business isn’t doing too well. The sun can’t reach the underground during winter, so those rich heirs don’t really like to go down there anymore.
Hence, I’m planning to move the business above ground and build an extremely unique manor. Furthermore, the underground palace isn’t ours. I had to go to all lengths to force Steven to give it to me, so I feel uneasy using it. Since I don’t dare to renovate it too wildly, it’s hindering my potential.”
Sheila stared at him. “What kind of manor caught your eye?”
“It’s a manor in the Southern suburbs that has been built a few months ago. It’s in a good location, so there’ll definitely be many people willing to go there.” The Southern suburbs? How can it be so coincidental?
A strange look flashed across Sheila’s eyes as she asked Davin, “How much does it cost?”
“It costs eight hundred million. If we want to renovate it properly, it’ll probably cost another one or two hundred million.” After Davin finished speaking, Sheila fell silent for a moment and asked, “Is the location good?”
“Yeah. I’ve been there already. The location and the architectural style are impeccable. How about this? When we go home, you can pass me the deposit and I’ll send it to the person in charge. This will be settled, then.” “How much is the deposit?”
“A hundred million.” Sheila coughed. “Well, you don’t have to ask me for my opinion if you want to do anything. I’ll definitely support you. As for the money, don’t ask me for it either. I’ve already invested a lot in the script-writing and filming, so I can’t fork out any money.”
“Sheep, my savings and the money that my parents gave when we married are all with you. It’s not right for you to keep it from me when I need it, right?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. If you need eighty million, I’ll definitely support you. However, if you need eight hundred million, it won’t be enough even if we withdrew all our savings! It’s better if I use it for my television shows. Why don’t you wait till I earn some money? I’ll give them to you after earning them.”
“It’s not that, Sheep. I have at least five hundred million in my account, right? When we got married, my parents gave us another two hundred million. That’s seven hundred million in total! We’ve also earned quite a lot over these few years, right? Also, your parents gave a few hundred million for your dowry too. Can’t you give some money up to support me?”
“Why should you have my dowry? My parents gave it to me, so it’s my personal asset.”
“Fine, your dowry is yours. But I have the right to use my own money, right? Give my money to me. I’ll return them to you after I earn back the money.”
After thinking about it, Sheila refused. “Sheep, you’re being unreasonable! Why can’t I use my own money?”
“We’ve been married for so many years! Why are we still distinguishing things based on what’s yours and what’s mine? What’s yours is mine as well! Furthermore, even if I give you money, it won’t add up to eight hundred million!
After buying the manor, we still have to invest in the renovation. That’ll require another one or two hundred million. Why don’t you borrow three hundred million? If you manage to do it, I’ll give you the money.” Borrow money?
The first person that appeared in Davin’s mind was Evan. Evan definitely had much more than three hundred million. He was confident that as long as he asked for it, Evan would lend him that money.
Even if Evan refused to lend him money, he could use his shares in the Seet Group to exchange for it. Anyway, he was certain that borrowing three hundred million would not be a problem for him.
“Okay, I’ll go and borrow it now. When I succeed, you have to give me the seven hundred million!” Davin drank the glass of red wine in a single gulp. When he got up to borrow some money, Sheila called him back.
