“Emergency! Emergency! Calling Q! Calling Q!” Aiden had just called out on the walkie-talkie when Mr. Q responded immediately as if he had been waiting there all along.
“Q speaking! Q speaking!” The man asked confidently, “Have you had breakfast? Have my superb cooking skills amazed you?”
“What are you talking about? It wasn’t amazing. It was terrifying! Mommy almost called the police after eating your dark cuisine,” Aiden replied as he threw up his hands helplessly.
“Dark cuisine?” Mr. Q’s voice turned cold, obviously disagreeing. “That food was carefully made according to the cooking instructions, and I poured my passion and love into them… Just to make the bread, I spent an hour kneading the dough. How could you call those a dark cuisine?”
“Okay, fine. I see your sincerity, but it’s a fact that you don’t have a talent for making good food. This is your shortcoming, and you have to make up for it quickly. Otherwise, I’ll have to choose someone else… I must find someone who can care for my mommy, make lots of delicious food, and keep her healthy and plump.” Aiden’s tone was exasperated and strict.
“Give me another chance. I promise to amaze you with the next meal.” Mr. Q made a solemn promise.
“Of course, I’ll give you a chance. After all, I’ve already chosen you as my daddy. But…’ Aiden’s delicate and handsome face wrinkled up, looking very troubled,
“Since your cooking is so bad, do you have any other strengths to compensate for it? Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to vouch for you!”
“Other strengths…” Mr. Q thought briefly and asked, “I have money. Does that count?”
“Who doesn’t have money? My mommy has it too!”
“But I have a lot of money. However much your mother wants, I can give it to her.”
“That’s good! Great! Take another ten points for that!” Aiden smiled and said into the walkie-talkie. “Mark your words! Whatever amount my mommy wants, you’ll give it to her… Let’s end our call for now. We’ll talk again if anything else comes up. Bye!”
Mr. Q was speechless. Had he just been tricked by a child who was not even five?!
At this moment, in the study, Renee Everheart was also fretting over the word “money.”
Azure Group had been in deficit, and it was a problem that had yet to be resolved. The planned production and R&D center had to be built on schedule, or four years of effort would go in vain.
She scanned her contact list and found that there were few people she could turn to for help.
The Osborne family had already subsidized her costs by a lot, so she couldn’t ask Liam Osborne to fill this bottomless pit.
Haze did have the ability, but when she thought about the Baldwin family behind him, she knew she couldn’t afford to provoke them, which meant she could only avoid them.
Others who used to be friends with the Everheart family couldn’t be counted on at this time, let alone extend a helping hand…
Did that mean she had to endure nausea and accept Jovan Hunt’s support? But that guy was a lunatic. Once she got involved with him, it would be hard to shake him off.
She could use some “special” relationships, but the cost was to return to that “circle” and continue to bear the carnage and the cruel and dangerous pressure there.
She promised her grandfather that she would not return to that circle, and she would not do so for the sake of her two children’s peaceful upbringing.
The very last option was to sell Sun Island, which, if sold, would easily cover the losses of Azure Group. However, Sun Island was paradise for her and her children, and she really couldn’t bear to part with it..
