Josh would never know that just yesterday his father had entertained the thought of kicking him out. If he had known, he would never dare to ask such a question.

Lilly and Bettany had also gone out, accompanied by Hugh, while Gilbert took on the role of their driver. Upon arriving at Lawrence’s place, Gilbert guessed that his elder brother should have reached the company by now, giving him some time to check his phone.

Hence, he sent a message in the family group chat: “Dear brothers, Anthony has a secret. Would any of you like to hear it?”

“What could it be that we don’t know? Something about him wearing his underwear inside out when he was little?” Edward questioned.

Jonas was certain. “There’s nothing we don’t know about Anthony.”

That got Max retorting, “Don’t be too sure about that.”

Blake, who had just finished with his meeting, joined the conversation, “Hmm? Anthony has a secret? I’m listening.”

Gilbert silently counted to three.

“Dear VIP, your account in Capital Bank ending with 8888 has received USD 2,000,000. Your current balance is…”

Today, Gilbert followed his usual routine, exaggerating his claims to extort a staggering sum of two million dollars as hush money from his eldest brother.

Seeing this, Hugh could not resist the temptation of stashing some money away for himself and sent a message to Anthony as well. His message read, “I have a project in mind that I’d like to invest in. Transfer twenty million dollars to me.”

Anthony replied, “Which project? I’ll take care of it for you.”

“It’s a project about calcium supplementation.”

That rendered Anthony speechless. Never in a million years would he have expected his father to joke around. In his impression, Hugh was supposed to be serious.

Then, he asked, “Should I wire it to mom’s account?”

“No, wire it to my
