“But this investment is too big…”
“Milly, that’s why you’re short-sighted. Do you really think those wealthy ladies have no taste? When you go out, they can tell at a glance what you’re wearing, what you’re accessorizing with, whether it’s in season or outdated. If your mother doesn’t spend some money to dress you up better, you won’t even be able to fit into the socialite ladies’ circle at the Lucas family dinner.”
Rowena Gray couldn’t help sighing as she said this.
When their family had been kicked out of the Gray Group and Gray family mansion, they seemed pitiful, but they were actually not too bad off.
Before the Gray Group went bankrupt, she had secretly transferred her assets.
With ample funds and properties, they could lead a normal life. That money would be enough for their family to last for generations.
Unfortunately, both Rowena and Milly Gray were used to the luxury. The only one who could bear a little hardship was Madam Gray.
Thus, both Rowena and Milly had to show off wherever they went.
Use the best, eat the best, wear the best, and live in the best.
Over time, they would exhaust their wealth and riches.
So, Rowena took a friend’s advice and started a business to get rich.
She and a few acquaintances invested in a financial company.
At first, they made some money.
But once she realized that finance was a simple, quick-return, and lucrative industry, she increased her investment under her friend’s persuasion.
Rowena had secretly sold the Gray Group’s stocks for forty-five million dollars in the beginning.
She spent nine million of it herself.
She kept the remaining thirty-six million and invested all of it into the financial company, except for three million.
Who could have known that as soon as she increased her investment, hoping for a huge profit, the market would suddenly collapse?
The thirty-six million she put in was like throwing it into a bottomless pit with not even a splash.
Her friends who co-founded the company with her saw the money was all gone, and they took the little remaining funds on the books and ran away.
In no time, out of the original forty-five million dollars, only three million was left.
This three million dollars would suffice for ordinary people to live on.
But…for Rowena Gray, this little money would only be enough for her to buy designer clothes for one season.
“Milly, listen to your mother. This time when the Lucas family invites us, it must be Mrs. Lucas’s doing. When we attend the dinner, you must take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Mr. Lucas!”
“But mother, the dinner is for Mrs. Lucas. What if…”
“Fool, you don’t understand.”
Rowena Gray curled up a smile, her eyes full of a touch of self-satisfaction, “Lily Gray is Mr. Lucas’s secret mistress. As Mrs. Lucas comes to power, she will definitely fight with that little bitch. From the current situation, since Mr. Lucas wants to legitimize Mrs. Lucas, that little bitch must have lost.”
“But if Lily Gray has lost, how can I have any chances… ”
“Heh… Milly, this is what wealthy ladies like to do most. Although Lily Gray has temporarily lost, the fact that Mr. Lucas supports her means she still has some skills. Don’t you think Mrs. Lucas is afraid that she’ll rise again in the future? So when you emerge and volunteer yourself…”
“Just based on your identity as Lily Gray’s cousin… trust your mother, Mrs. Lucas will definitely be more than happy to send you to Mr. Lucas’s bed.”
