Chapter 1676 - Chapter 1676 407 Regret immensely_4

Chapter 1676: 407: Regret immensely!_4 Chapter 1676: 407: Regret immensely!_4 Sam nodded. “I’m really envious of you, able to go on a business trip like that.”

Naren said, “Don’t be envious. You’re Mr. Terrence’s Special Assistants; you must also follow him around the country on his trips, right?”

Sam shook his head. “The boss never takes us with him when he goes abroad.”

Oscar nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Naren seemed a bit puzzled.

Mr. Terrence went on business trips without taking Oscar and Sam.

Weren’t they his Special Assistants?

However, Naren soon figured it out.

Mr. Terrence was of a special status; surely, he traveled on private jets, with other personal assistants.

Naren glanced at her watch, then said, “Sam, Shino, I have an appointment, so I won’t keep you.”

“Alright.” Sam and Oscar stood up from their chairs. “Have a safe trip, Sister Naren.”

Just then, Naren seemed to remember something, paused, and turned to the two, “Sam, Shino, skincare products are almost half the price in Country Polluton compared to here! If you want to buy some for your girlfriends, let me know.”

“Thanks, Sister Naren.”

Naren smiled and said, “No problem, we’re colleagues after all.”

Sam followed up, “Sister Naren, I’ll message you on WhatsApp.”

“Okay.” Naren nodded.

A moment later, Naren turned and left.

Watching Naren’s retreating figure, Oscar remarked, “Bro Sam, Sister Naren is really a nice person!”

Who else would offer to bring skincare products back for you without any reason?

Especially given Naren’s current status, she didn’t need to please anyone.

Sam nodded, deeply agreeing with Oscar, “Many people in our company like Sister Naren.”

…

On the other side.

The atmosphere in the Armstrong Clan household was still not good.

Beatrice Black sat on the sofa cursing and swearing.

Edward Armstrong stood beside, scratching his head anxiously, “Sabrina, tell me, how much money did you actually put in there?”

Beatrice glanced at Edward, “Eight hundred thousand.”

Eight hundred thousand!

Upon hearing this, Edward was staggered; he turned to look at Beatrice, his eyes filled with disbelief. “What did you say?”

It wasn’t just Edward who was startled; even Christina was dumbfounded.

Eight hundred thousand!

It was nearly their whole family’s savings for over twenty years.

The money had been set aside by their parents to make a down payment on a house in their hometown city.

But now.

Beatrice had transferred the entire eight hundred thousand to that account.

Sabrina rolled her eyes at Edward, “What’s the big deal if I’ve put all eight hundred thousand in?”

Based on twenty percent interest.

Eight hundred thousand in one day would be one hundred sixty thousand.

Two days would be three hundred twenty thousand.

Three days would amount to four hundred eighty thousand.

The deadline of three days was tomorrow.

Then Edward would see how competent she was!

Christina stood up, swallowing hard, “Mom, you’ve put our entire family’s fortune into that account!”

Edward’s strength seemed to get sucked out in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrollably.

Christina was speechless, pointing at Edward’s nose and scolding, “I’m not even dead yet! What are you crying for? By calculating the twenty percent interest rate, the interest I earn in three days will be four hundred eighty thousand! Tomorrow morning, I can transfer out all the money and interest!”

“What if it can’t be transferred out?” Edward turned to look at Beatrice.

Beatrice retorted, “How can it not be transferred out! This is legitimate financial management, not illegal! You’re just typical of someone with short hair and short-sightedness!”

Christina walked over to her father, helped him up, and soothed, “Dad, Mom is right. Tomorrow morning hasn’t arrived yet, we can’t be too pessimistic. What if Mom hasn’t been scammed!”

Hearing this, Beatrice’s spirit soared even more, she stood up and said, “Edward, if I can transfer out all the money with interest tomorrow morning, then we’re getting divorced! Immediately divorced! I’m tired of living with a good-for-nothing like you!”

She had finally seen it clearly–all the people from the Armstrong Clan were no good.

Every single one of them was stirring the pot.

Especially Olivia Armstrong and Windy Armstrong.

At the moment, all Edward Armstrong could do was to desperately hope that Sabrina Sabir hadn’t been scammed and that she really had stumbled upon a windfall.

Time quickly advanced to the next morning.

As soon as Edward Armstrong woke up early in the morning, he looked at Sabrina Sabir, “Sabrina, log into the account quickly and check if our money is still there?”

Sabrina Sabir frowned slightly, “What’s the rush! Could the money have grown wings and flown away?”

Such bad luck!

Edward Armstrong wanted to curse, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it; instead, he continued to urge, “Just check if the money is still there.”

Sabrina Sabir continued, “Let’s get one thing straight first. If the money is there, the principal is yours, and the interest is mine. Christina is yours, our son is mine; we’re getting a divorce!”

The principal referred to the couple’s shared savings of eight hundred thousand.

The reason Sabrina Sabir was so generous was that she believed she had mastered the secret to wealth.

What was a measly eight hundred thousand?

She would have eight million, eighty million in the future!

Edward Armstrong was not in the mood to discuss this with Sabrina Sabir at the moment, he just kept urging, “Quickly check if the money is still there!”

That was eight hundred thousand they had scraped together after nearly half a lifetime of toil.

Every penny was hard-earned.

If the money wasn’t there, then half of Edward Armstrong’s life would be over as well.

Sabrina Sabir let out a cold huff, slowly taking out her phone, as if afraid that Edward Armstrong might sneak a peek at her financial password, “Turn your head.”

Edward Armstrong turned his head.

Sabrina Sabir opened an app on her phone, logged into her account, and completed facial recognition before finally gaining access to the backend.

Personal balance.

1,280,000 yuan.

Eight hundred thousand in principal, plus four hundred and eighty thousand in interest, exactly one million two hundred eighty thousand.

Not a penny more, not a penny less.

Sabrina Sabir passed the phone to Edward Armstrong, “Open your damn eyes and look! Not only is your eight hundred thousand still there, but my interest has come back too!”

Seeing this, Edward Armstrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness the money was still there.

Christina Armstrong spoke cautiously, “Mom, why don’t you try to see if you can still transfer it out?”

Sometimes a balance is just a string of numbers.

It doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

Sabrina Sabir clicked to transfer the entire balance into her savings card.

What she thought was a sure thing turned out to be anything but–the page flashed a transfer failure message a second later.

A failure!

This was completely unexpected for Sabrina Sabir.

Edward Armstrong’s face, which had just relaxed, was now pale again, as ashen as dead wood.

But at that moment, she still hadn’t realized what was happening, calmly saying, “It must be because there are too many people transferring money in the morning, the system is busy.”

Sabrina Sabir tried again.

But the result was the same.

Transfer failed.

Now Sabrina Sabir was beginning to panic, her hands trembling.

After all, this wasn’t eighty dollars; it was eight hundred thousand!

Sabrina Sabir tried to steady her emotions and attempted another transfer.

It failed again!

What to do?

What to do now?

Sabrina Sabir hurriedly dialed her financial advisor, who normally picked up her calls immediately, but today the number was busy.

Edward Armstrong cried out, “It’s over! It’s all over now!”
