My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 183

"I have no regrets." Zelda shook her head.

A half-smile surfaced on the woman's cold face. She spat, "No regrets? Do you know how much money I made last month? It's something you can't earn even if you ran the restaurant for 5 years."

"Congratulations to you then," Zelda said calmly. Just as Chuck thought, the two of them were classmates. They had initially opened a shop together, but after problems occurred, there was a significant disparity in the decision-making process. Soon, they parted ways.

After separating, Quinn Miller had started her own company. With luck on her side, she soon earned her first pot of gold: a full 30 million dollars. It was a considerable sum for a woman, but she didn't stop there. Since then, she created more companies, and just recently, she came to Ocean City to develop more properties.

Her sources suggested to her this building, and she made it her goal to acquire this property.

She had to purchase it today.

Quinn asked, "Congratulations? Why do I detect some jealousy when you say so?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Whatever you say." Zelda sighed. She sincerely congratulated her, but she had other thoughts weighing on her mind.

She used to be best friends with Quinn, but ever since they parted ways, they could never go back to being friends.

Quinn frowned. At last, she glanced at Chuck and said, "I can't believe it. Now you're starting to seek young people who can satisfy your thirst at your age!"

"Stop your nonsense," Zelda snapped. She didn't care what Quinn said about her, but she couldn't stand her criticism of Chuck.

Quinn sneered, "Nonsense? He looks like a college student, probably a freshman. You are ten years older than him. If you're not pursuing a young man, then what is it you're doing now?"

"You..." Zelda's eyes turned cold, but she didn't know how to refute Quinn. She kept quiet.

Indeed, she was wooing a young man, and Chuck was really just a freshman. However, she did help him twice and they almost slept together last time. Zelda sighed. Was she really that old?

Looking at Chuck, she felt disheartened.

"You can't even deny it yourself! It seems you finally realize you are chasing after younger men. Zelda, you make me despise you," Quinn scoffed.

Quinn wasn't married, nor did she have a boyfriend. However, she would never aim for someone younger than her. She just couldn't and wouldn't accept it.

She couldn't find anything beneficial from younger men, aside from lasting longer on bed. She hated useless men the most, especially those who relied on women.

Quinn asked Chuck, "Kid, how much does Zelda give you as a monthly allowance? 50,000 or 100,000 dollars?"

She hated Zelda very much after almost losing her chance to succeed because of her. Now that she was much more successful than Zelda, wasn't it the right time to take revenge on her?

"Why do you ask? Are you interested in me?" Chuck smiled.

Quinn simply shook her head, "No, I don't prefer guys your age."

"What a coincidence. I don't like women with saggy skin and wrinkles either," Chuck retorted.

Zelda was flabbergasted.

Quinn's gaze suddenly froze and she gave Chuck the death stare. Did he just accuse her of being saggy?

"What did you say?" Quinn's voice was frigid. Her assistant also looked mad, and he mulled over, "The nerve of this guy to comment something like that. My boss was obviously in good shape!"

"I'm sorry, but you're too saggy to me. It's not my taste so if you want to have me, I won't agree to it. I would have to pass," Chuck said.

Zelda subconsciously took a quick look at Quinn's busts and noticed her chest was not sagging at all.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened.

"Sister Zelda, let's go." Chuck smiled.

"Sure," Zelda responded.

When they walked out, Zelda asked softly, "Chuck, does she have saggy breasts?"

"I don't know. I never checked," Chuck said honestly.

He didn't really know anything since he had never seen a real one up close his whole life.

Quinn's breasts were the same as Lara Jean's. Although Quinn was thirty years old, she was particular at maintaining her looks and was into sports like Zelda. Therefore, her figure could be compared with Lara's but she definitely had a more effeminate beauty.

Her irresistible appeal was a fatal temptation for men. However, for Chuck, it was a little disgusting. He was not interested in a woman who was so high maintenance and self-centered.

In addition, she criticized Zelda, so he had no reason to talk to her.

Zelda chuckled. She had never seen anyone mock Quinn like this. As expected, having money was enough reason for a person to do or say anything as they pleased.

"President, please ignore his nonsense." The man was so enraged he wanted to hit Chuck. However, today was not fitting for him to do so. If he delayed his boss's business dealing, he would lose his job.

Quinn glanced at him.

The man asked, "President, do you want me to find someone who can teach him a lesson?"

Quinn asked sharply, "Do you need me to teach you what to do?"

"No, I didn't mean it that way." The man lowered his head.

When Quinn stepped out of the elevator, she glowered at Chuck with a hint of bitterness in her eyes. She ordered, "Call four people over and have them wait in the parking lot."

"Yes, boss!" The man quickly took out his mobile phone. Such a rude person deserved a lesson for throwing insults at his boss!

He's asking for trouble. Tragedy comes from careless talk. The kid is done for!

"President, I've made the call," The man confirmed.

Quinn nodded with her eyes fixed at Zelda. Why was she here today? She was just a meager restaurant owner, and she had no reason to be here at all.

......

Those who came today were all affluent. Zelda saw a few people with a net worth of at least three or four billion dollars. She felt a little self-conscious when she came in. Without Chuck, she wouldn't have been able to come today.

Everyone who came had their means to receive the news, proving that they could acquire the building. Chuck and Zelda soon found a place to sit down.

Quinn also came in shortly with her assistant, but they settled in the corner.

Not too many people were around to offer their bids. All in all, there were approximately ten of them, but they were all well-to-do.

Soon, a man with a sad face came to meet them. Zelda introduced him to Chuck softly. He was the building owner. The message his mother sent him already contained a detailed introduction to this person. He had business in other places, but more than a dozen people had died recently due to accidents. This greatly affected him and had no choice but to sell this building to solve his crisis.

Without much formalities, the man started straight away, "I don't have much to say. I'll sell this property and land today. If anyone is able to give me 2.5 billion dollars today, I'll give them the building right away."

"2.5 billion dollars? Mr. Carter, are you trying to earn more than you should?" Someone commented unhappily.

The people present estimated the building's value to be less than two billion. Yet, the man was now asking for 2.5 billion dollars, which infuriated many people.

His selling price was way more than they had expected.

"I've already stated my price," The owner was firm on his decision.

"2.1 billion dollars, I'll give you the cash now." It was Quinn who spoke. She felt this was the highest price she could bid.

"No, it must be 2.5 billion dollars." The man firmly asserted while shaking his head.

Quinn frowned. This place was not even worth that much, so she asked her assistant to calculate again.

Several wealthy people looked offended, but nobody said anything. How could a property worth only 2 billion dollars be on sale for 500 million dollars more? They wondered how the owner could betray them like that. They found him arrogant and manipulative.

"Mr. Carter, you can't sell it when the price you've set is so high," Someone said.

The owner acted indifferently, but with a closer look, one could notice how worried he was. He also knew this building wasn't worth that much, but he was in urgent need of money. Otherwise, his company would cease to exist overnight. He was left with no other options.

"Hmph! How dare you play us. Let's see how you're going to sell it. I won't stay here any longer!" Someone stood up and walked out. He didn't believe someone would spend 2.5 billion dollars to buy this place. How could they earn back the 500 million dollars they've already lost?

Before he went out, he saw someone on the phone consulting another person. After much deliberation, this person promptly stood up and said, "2.5 billion dollars? Okay, I'll buy it. You may prepare the contract now!"

Zelda was appalled, and Quinn frowned. They both mused, "You're paying 2.5 billion dollars? Do you have that much money?"
