Chapter 262

Nick smiled as he looked at Wendy's upset expression, but inside he felt furious. He thought, 'Damn Wendy, is she going to leave me with nothing in the end?

At the very least, I need to secure a few billion. Only then would all these years of effort be worth it. I have already taken control of Alexander and Jason's companies and assets. 'Declan and Ricky don't have companies, just shares. What a bunch of worthless people.

The Tompson family has so many assets. Selling just one building could easily bring in more than a couple of billion

dollars.

Nick asked, "Wendy, you... Won't you be home tonight either?" He suddenly realized Wendy hadn't slept at home for a long time.

Wendy shook her head and said, "I need to go back to the office to work overtime. I have to quickly fill this 70-million gap, or the company's cash flow will be disrupted.

"The current economy isn't good, and our buildings and streets aren't in prime locations. I've put them up for sale, but I'm not sure if they will sell."

After speaking, Wendy left.

Declan was stunned, thinking, 'Something feels wrong here. How could the family be on the brink of bankruptcy when I am only been away for six months?'

Declan said, "Dad, doesn't your company make more money every month? Why not help Mom through this tough time? I need my allowance. How about giving me 70 thousand a month for spending money?" Hearing this, Nick got really angry and threw a cushion at Declan from the sofa.

Nick shouted at Declan, "You useless bum, can't you start making your own money? Do you know how much of a loser you and your brothers are?

"Look at Maurice and Murray, they're both from prominent families, but they run their own companies, earning billions each year. And then there's you four brothers, each more useless than the last. "Jason is messed up from car racing, Alexander is missing, you're off racing too, and Ricky is out there chasing his so-called dreams. Who knows what you guys are even doing out there? "Yet, you expect me to give you 70 thousand every month. I'm this old already. How come nobody gave me 70 thousand?" Nick finished speaking and got up to head upstairs. Declan was dumbstruck by the reprimand, realizing that in Nick's eyes, he was a failure.

He murmured, "But Dad, Mom's been strict with us from the start, while you always said to pursue our dreams. We've been doing just that. Why do you now think we're all failures?" Declan was puzzled about why Nick would call him names like that. He was furious about Natalie calling him a loser earlier. Yet after home, he had to face the same scolding from Nick. Suddenly, Nick saw an old man in a black mourning robe floating near the stairs, staring right at him. He blinked and realized it was his grandpa. He was completely stunned.
