True Love Waits

Chapter 1422 We Don't Need Him

Adkins walked up to his dad, a little panda in his arms. "Dad, can we assume the responsibility to raise pandas?"

"No," Matthew refused directly.

Boswell asked in confusion, "Dad, the man over there said all we need is money. A lot. So why not?"

"Because you don't have any money," Matthew replied bluntly.

The brothers looked at each other. Adkins said, "I can give you an IOU. It's only a million. C'mon, say yes! I'll pay you back double!" They had asked the staff member. He said that if they wanted to raise a panda, they needed to pay a million dollars upfront. That ensured they could keep the panda, and not have to surrender it when it got old.

Their father shook his head vigorously. "When you can earn your own money, then you can save up for a panda." Erica advised Matthew to set aside some funds for their sons to marry. So, he couldn't waste money now.

At this moment, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a baby panda munching on some bamboo, Colman came over. "Hey Boswell. What are you talking about?"

"We want to raise a panda. Dad said no, because we don't have the money," Boswell explained.

A disdainful smile appeared on Colman's face. "I see. That's not hard, you know? It's just money. We don't need him! We can make money on our own!"

Matthew was too rich. The boys thought it was better to spend more time with their grandparents and there was no need for them to make money. But now it seemed they had to.

Colman called Damian over. "Damian, come here. We got something to talk about!"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and sat next to them, listening to his kids discussing how to make enough money to get a panda.

Colman spoke first. He told his brothers casually, "I'm not worried. I can make tons of cash. Uncle Sheffield taught me. He makes tens of millions for a few lines of code. I can do that. It can't be that hard, right?"

Boswell let go of the panda and rubbed his chin. The panda ran off to go play. "I spent my allowance money on stocks. They shot up in value since then. If I sell now, I'll have enough for two pandas." Pandas were endangered, thanks to humans destroying their habitat. So one was probably enough.

While Colman and Boswell were working with their computers at home, Adkins had his own schemes. He snuck into the offices of ZL Group. He asked Paige for a phone number.
