Chapter 581
As she filled his cup with more water, Camila said, "There are profits and losses even in business. In fact, this industry is similar to a business with no capital, money comes and goes quickly there! If this accident never occurred, and the contract wasn't suspended, she had already earned about four to five million dollars in just a few days. If we can book a few more advertisements or movies, then wouldn't it be normal to earn more than a hundred million dollars a year? To be honest, are you so sure that you'll be able to secure an income that's over a hundred million dollars after being busy handling various problems in your business? Sometimes, it'll be good enough if you can even break even."
As soon as he heard those words, Kieran unexpectedly calmed down. In an instant, the look in his eyes became seemingly different. "I honestly didn't expect these words to come from you! They actually make sense..."
Kieran had thought that all she knew was the laundry, cooking, makeup, and poker! He certainly hadn't expected her to think of such an idea at this critical moment. Indeed, he didn't realize that he could make money this fast in this industry!
Although they had invested some money in other shares, investments in other shares wouldn't guarantee a successful return of their one million dollars. On the contrary, it would've been wise to publicize Danica on the inte with their funds for her to gain fame instead.
Kieran was deeply annoyed by the thought of his gains being gone because of the scandals!
He had no clue who was behind them, but he was determined to get to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, the Castle family had also blundered and they weren't able to help him. All Kieran could do was to announce the bankruptcy of Randolph Group and be bought over by someone else later on. Even he, the chairman of the company, was utterly useless at this moment!
In an instant, Kieran gritted his teeth while he stared at the small, oppressed space. Kieran felt suffocated and was very uncomfortable no matter wherever he looked.
After all, they had been living together for well over a decade. Camila was able to read his mind with a single glance, she then spoke softly with a faint smile on her face.
"Don't I just sit around and gossip every day? I was playing cards with some people two days ago. I heard them mention, if they were to look for a daughter-in-law in the future, they wouldn't reject the girls from show-biz, especially those top influencers and A-list celebrities! After all, doesn't fame bring wealth these days? Besides that, let's talk about the big brands. How many brands that were formally well-renowned remain to this very day? Everyone's prosperity and fortune will rise and fall, Halles Clubhouse was only able to overcome its bankruptcy due to one of their family members marrying an A-list celebrity. I heard that she had earned hundreds of millions of dollars even though she only made her return three years ago. I heard that her bonus from the investment she made two days ago was about sixty million dollars! In fact, if she played her trump card now, she would be even more popular than she ever was. Should we find Danica a benevolent celebrity partner after everything settles down? By then, wouldn't it be easier for us to give her a new image? She doesn't need to rise to the top, all she needs is some progress. Coupled with your connections, it'll be easy for her to earn millions of dollars a year. Let's not push our luck and just buy her the lyrics. As long as she performs well, we can upload it on the inte and earn something out of it. Even if she earns the slightest fame, she'll be able to step out and get a business opportunity. By then, we won't be short on cash again. Besides, your career has come to an end, you don't have to be afraid of losing your dignity even in public. One day, maybe you'll even gain a good reputation and that'll be killing two birds with one stone. But for now, everyone's in a bad mood, so you shouldn't vent your anger on her. We're getting older by the day but she's still young..."
In other words, they had to depend on her to earn a living in the future!
As she spoke, coldness flashed across Camila's eyes.
"Well, you're right! But what should we do in the meantime? The money we have now is barely enough for us to eat every day, let alone for a year and a half!"
Kieran frowned and grew anxious again. Life being suppressed by money every day is too miserable!
While stirring her soup, Camila suddenly said,
"That's right! In addition to our monthly expenditure, we'll also need to pay a hundred thousand dollars for the foreign debts. But we need the capital to be able to package her! Your words earlier have me thinking. Back then, Dad... I mean my father, didn't he buy us a big pension plan? I remember that the withdrawal condition was for the male to be fifty-five and the female to be fifty at least. Only then we can receive 1.5 million dollars a year, and it goes up to a maximum of 20 years! The both of us only have to wait a few more years before we're eligible to receive the fortune. I'm uncertain how many years we have left on ourselves, but what if we withdraw an advance lump sum? We'll be able to receive a 10% of the interest and that would probably round up to more than 20 million dollars! With this 20 million dollars, it won't be a problem for our family to sustain ourselves for a year!"
"No way! We're still three years away. The loss is too great!"
If they were to claim it directly, the first thing they would've lost was the 5 million insured marriage money once they were of age. Furthermore, even if it was only three years, the difference in their interests was already ten million dollars. It would definitely be a huge loss for them!
I'm aware of that! But aren't we in a special circumstance? I'm merely thinking out loud, you don't necessarily have to agree with me. Stop being so upset, just take it a step at a time, there's always another way around it. Hurry up and drink your ginseng tea, it's getting cold..."
Camila didn't say anything else anymore. She only comforted Kieran, but her grip on the spoon subconsciously got harder.
With the concert just around the
l
corner, all kinds of news regarding Mr. Clements's relationship and gossip had appeared in the headlines of the entertainment section once again. In the office, Frederick held his forehead and sighed helplessly as he looked at the obscure photos of the couple taken at the entrance of Promise Garden and outside the Heaven Star Clubhouse.
"Goodness..."
The hype had gone on for a few days, but why wasn't it simmering down yet? His woman had ignored him for two entire days!
The paparazzi were literally everywhere! However, these photos of them were still nice as he looked crazed and eager. It was exactly how he felt at that time!"
As he flipped through the pictures, Frederick's eyes fell upon the image of intertwined figures. He continuously clicked the tip of his pen, but his mind began to wander with self-admiration.
A perfect match, a perfect match indeed!
As Frederick was self-absorbed at that moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door. He placed down the pen and said, "Come in!"
Chet couldn't help but smile when he saw Frederick putting his phone away. He was distracted from work again!
Chet waved the document in his
hand, and just when was about to speak, Frederick's phone rang abruptly. He then turned towards the water cooler next to him while Frederick answered the phone call. At the other end, he heard Nicholas's languid voice,
"It's closed again today. Would you like to take me to East Bannpool tonight for a drink?"
Was Nicholas not shameless at all? Did he and Alicia really crawl out of the same womb?
Frederick wanted to slap him on the face by the sound of his fluttering tone. At that moment, he snorted coldly and said,NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Forget it. Don't come to me as soon
as you're out of business! Isn't the Heaven Star Clubhouse closed because of their fourth-quarter procedure for off-season
xel
renovations and inspections? The
whole thing will be over within two
days!"
But Nicholas wasn't aware of it, he merely pressured Frederick with his ridiculous actions!
After cackling twice, Nicholas stopped and said, "Look, the reason I called is to ask you about your daily headlines and stealing Mr. Nick's woman. What do you want me to do with my pride now? What do you suggest?"
Were they about to fight again over his younger sister?
Frederick almost burst into laughter before he said in a cold voice, "Lay it down on me, I have no objections towards it!"
Besides, he wouldn't lose anything anyways, and he wasn't the one who was going to be embarrassed too! After blindly winning the game, Frederick's heart was inexplicably filled with complacency. He was utterly happy!
