The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 264

Cathy was all riled up, but Richard wasn’t inclined to continue arguing with her

He turned to Helorse “And then there’s your eldest son. He spends all his days obsessing over his paintings. I’ve offered him a chance to gain experience in the company but he stubbornly refuses Your daughter Fiona, on the other hand, works her heart out for the company. And what has she received in return?”

Heloise raised an eyebrow, choosing to remain silent

Just the other day, her jewelry studio needed more materials but was short on funds. Do you think the 5 million I gave her was coughed up by a dog?”

Heloise remained silent. Her gaze was unfathomable

How could 5 million compare to 30 million?

“You lot turn your noses up at Percival, but do you realize that the wealth you enjoy is all thanks to him? Richard stated

“What?” Ryan and Cathy’s faces were a picture of disbelief

Heloise was equally shocked as her gaze subconsciously landed on Richard.

Even Cecilia seemed to be temporarily dumbfounded

Only Nathan appeared unsurprised

After a moment, Cathy found her voice How is that possible? Ever since his accident, he’s been idle. He doesn’t even know how to read the company’s reports How could he have brought us wealth?”

“Humph Richard scoffed That’s because you’re both ignorant and dull. Percival has been involved in the company’s affairs for a decade, and it was largely thanks to him that the company survived through its toughest times. Without him, do you really think you’d be living the life you are now?”

Cathy and Heloise fell silent.

Percival was a good–for–nothing. They’d never believe such news out of the blue

But given Richard’s eamestness, they found themselves having to reconsider the way they thought of Percival

Heloise stayed silent but Cathy was unable to let Vivienne off so easily.
