All Too Late

Chapter 264 Bully A Little Girl

Samuel stated placidly, “The only person I need to give a monetary gift to in this family is you.” If the kids were still around, I would have to prepare three gifts in total… Kathleen smiled faintly as she took over the envelope. She immediately opened it and counted the thick stack of cash inside. Samuel crossed his arms, looking at her. “Counting the money right in front of me, huh?” “Heheh..” Kathleen was like a money-grubber. “I spent over a million yesterday. Of course, have to get some of it back.” After she finished counting it, she sighed and continued. “It’s only ten thousand. Seems like can’t get my money back.” “Ten thousand?” Samuel narrowed his eyes. She frowned upon hearing the doubt in his voice. Did I count it wrongly? It can’t be. Did I lose my ability to do calculations after sleeping? She took out all the money inside the envelope. Thud! A bank card dropped onto the floor. Kathleen bent over to pick it up before looking at Samuel in confusion. “What’s this?” “It’s for you,” Samuel responded nonchalantly. “There’s a billion and one in it.” Kathleen was baffled. “Why that number?” “Don’t you know the phrase ‘one in a million?” Samuel explained, “Well, this is called ‘one in a billion.” Kathleen was rendered speechless. He’s trying to be romantic, but I don’t get it. Samuel leaned over and whispered in her ear, “You’re my one in a billion.” With that he walked off. As she stood there and looked at the cash and the card in her hand, she sighed. Well, he’s quite generous. He didn’t even think twice before giving out a billion. She then put the monetary gift in the room and went downstairs. The atmosphere was lively in the living room, and everyone was present Even Charles had come.

Once the dishes were served, everyone started to dig in merrily. When Diana saw the sight in front of her, the sadness she had felt during the past year dissipated a little If Samuel hadn’t caused a fuss, the atmosphere would have been merrier. After their meal, the three young ones exchanged greetings and wishes with the elders. The four elders were open-handed in their gifts. Kathleen said something that made Charles laugh, and he also gave her a big monetary gift. Having five monetary gifts, Kathleen was on cloud nine. “Where’s your gift for Kate?” Wynnie frowned as she asked her son. “I met a robber when I went upstairs just now, so the gift had been snatched away.” Although Samuel sounded helpless, his voice was filled with affection. “Looks like Kate’s received a fortune today.” Diana chuckled. “Yeah, she’s the youngest one here,” Frances chimed in smilingly. “Don’t worry. I won’t spend the money recklessly. I’ll save it.” Kathleen grinned from ear to ear. Charles looked at her with a cheeky smile. “Should I save it for you?” Kathleen was stunned momentarily before turning away to shield

day today.” Kathleen pouted. “I’m a newbie. The three of you are seasoned players.” “Newbies are supposed to be bullied.” Wynnie smiled wickedly. “Carry on.” Just then, Samuel walked over. Calvin and Charles were playing chess, and he did not join them. When Samuel heard Kathleen’s voice, he came over to have a look. Upon seeing the money in front of Kathleen, he chuckled. “The stack of

I’m the winner again.” Wynnie was beyond frustrated. “You used five minutes to beat us in the first few rounds at first. Then, it gradually decreases to three minutes, and you even won every round. Did you cheat?” “What are you talking about? It’s impossible for me to cheat.” Samuel took the cash in front of Wynnie. Diana grumbled, “I knew I shouldn’t have played with you. When you were five years old, you followed me out to play poker. I only went to the washroom for a while, and when I came back, you’d already won a round. I thought you were just lucky back then. Later, I found out that you were calculating the cards.” Samuel was gifted in mental calculation. He could remember all the cards and analyze which player had which card. That was the most terrifying part of him. He used that talent in the business world. That was why he had great achievements at such a young age. It was true that Samuel was the pride of the Macari family. Samuel stood up and put the money in Kathleen’s hands. Don’t get tricked again.” Wynnie huffed, “We didn’t trick her.” “That’s right. She lost, so it’s only natural that she’d honor the bets, Diana said. While Samuel felt speechless, Kathleen chuckled awkwardly. Ding dong! The doorbell
