Chapter 479
"600 million?" Myra felt dizzy. She had never heard of such an enormous sum.
Their home television was broken and they never bothered to fix it. Little did they know that their very own Bell had become a sensation. "Does she really have 600 million?"
"It's true. I checked it online. She is filthy rich now. Mom, we should go find her. If we do, her money becomes ours."
Indeed, Bell's fortune should belong to the Salotti family. Even if she had changed her name and identity, she was still a Salotti.
Myra's joy did not hide her anger. How dare Bell make such a fortune and not come home? Did she think she could keep it all to herself?
"Mom, we must find her now. But we can't let anyone know. Once we reach J City, if she doesn't show up, we'll make a scene online. She's a celebrity now. She can't handle a scandal." "Alright, I'll go pack. You take care of Gary. I'll call your father and we'll leave together."
Bell had a fortune of hundred million, so they had to rush to J City immediately. After all, Bell's money should be managed by her parents.
Fredric still thought Bell was weak. She was always afraid of him since young. But there was a chance that she might have grown a backbone living away from home.
Ron was working in the field. When he received the call from his son, he hurried home, unable to contain his excitement. He never dreamed that Bell could make such a fortune.
He was thrilled to the core. 600 million! No more working in the fields, and they could live a life of luxury.
"What should we do if she gives us 600 million?" Ron asked.
Greed seeped into the eyes of the family members.
"Let me think." Myra squinted, calculating. "With that amount of money, we would buy properties in the city, start a business, and each of us should have a car. Fredric can marry a rich girl. As for here, we could convert it into a resort, build a mansion. It's time we show those who looked down upon us."
Myra was a selfish woman. She favored her son over her daughter. No matter how successful her daughter was, once married, in Myra's eyes, she was no longer a part of the family. But her son, despite his flaws, was her treasure.
While Bell was still single, her wealth naturally belonged to her parents. If she got married, they would have no claim over it.
However, women got married in the end. It might as well for them to decide Bell's future husband rather than let her to choose. That way, they could rest assured about making control of her money.
Fredric shared the same idea and voiced it, "Mom, to prevent Bell from slipping away, we should arrange a marriage for her. Once we get the money, we should get her married and keep an eye on her." "Good idea, you should find a suitable suitor for your sister. Someone we can trust and control."
Before even meeting Bell, they were planning to take advantage of her. Their true colors were repugnant.
The family of four packed theirNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
belongings and boarded a bus to the
vela the
city. The bus had a television
showing Blood Ties, capturing the attention of all passengers S
Fredric quickly pointed out Bell on the screen to his parents.
Many passengers were fans of Blood Ties.
"I love the actress who plays Megan. She's so pretty. I have watched it repeatedly and never get bored."
Myra overheard the conversation and asked, "Is this actress who plays Megan very popular?"
"Of course! This show is a hit. They
can get millions of profit for one day, and the actresses gets 100
thousand per episode. This actress Izabella is very popular." S
The Salotti family was more determined to find Bell and get their hands on her fortune.
Ever since Blood Ties premiered, Izabella had people monitoring the Salotti family.
She expected news after a few episodes, but it was not until half the season that she heard they were heading to J City.
Izabella continued asking these people to keep an eye on them.
Bell's parents might seem shrewd in the village, but they were likely to be lost in the city. These were the kind of people who were most likely to be deceived.
As for Fredric, he reminded her of
her brother Lucas Salotti from a previous life, who was a notorious gambler. Fredric was a significant reason the Salotti family was in
poverty.
It would be perfect to lure such a person into a high-stakes gambling den, let him lose a few million, and perhaps even lose a hand.
Meanwhile, the Salotti family transferred from the bus to a train.
This was their first train ride, which was a bit more expensive than the bus. But they were about to be millionaires, so they didn't care about the cost.
If they knew how to book a flight, they would have flown. But they were determined to fly back.
Bell, being so wealthy, must have a private jet.
Perhaps it was the stuffy air in the train, but Gary began to cry as soon as they boarded, disturbing all the passengers.
