Chapter 216

Austin snapped, "What's wrong? Do you think my life isn't worth 300 million dollars?"

Realizing Austin had gotten the wrong idea, Lance quickly grabbed the phone and prepared the medicine.

At the Carter residence, Rachel brought a bowl of chicken noodle soup to Fred. "This is good for your health, Grandpa. Try some."

Fred took the bowl and put it aside. Seeing Rachel's troubled expression, he asked, "Did something happen?"

Rachel sighed. "There are two things. Uncle Malcolm brought his bodyguards, but they won't listen to me. I don't know what is he up to.
