Chapter 15
"This is impossible. Grandpa acknowledged Jack's identity as the Taylor family's son-in-law?" After hearing Old Master's words, some members of the Taylor family had shocked expressions on their faces.
'Grandpa used to spoil Selena. It seems Grandpa's anger has subsided after all these years. After all, inside Selena's body still flows the blood of our Taylor family.' A member of the Taylor family speculated calmly in his mind.
"Grandfather!" Selena pursed her red lips and felt her tears pour out. He knew his grandfather had been watching him in secret. The old man simply could not humble himself all this time. For Zeus Taylor, his reputation was more important than anything else.
"However?" Jack scowling. He knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"However, the matter of you injuring Ivan's arm can't be solved just like that!" The old man's tone changed once more as he continued, "You must pay compensation!"
"really. Grandpa's right. Broken arm. The doctor said that my arm would need at least one to two months to recover, and that's with the best medicine!" Because of Old Master's lecture earlier, Ivan stood still all this time. Now that his grandfather spoke for him, he immediately rejoiced.
"How about this: I'll give you a month, Jack. One month later coincidentally was my seventieth birthday. If you can make ten million dollars a month, I will admit that you are the son of the Taylor family! However, if you fail to make money, then you have to divorce Selena because it will prove that you have no ability, not worth being with Selena! Furthermore, Ivan's hand was made in such a state because of you. You need to compensate him ten million dollars! How's it?" The Old Master looked at Jack and declared firmly.
"Grandfather, didn't you intentionally make things difficult for her? He's just a delivery guy. Now that he was a soldier for five years and returned from the battlefield, how could he spend that kind of money in one month!?" Selena was worried when she heard the offer. What's the difference with kicking Jack? It's just a different method.
"Old Master, can you lower the number? That's too much. He couldn't even make a million dollars, let alone ten million dollars!" Joan's expression was ugly. He did not want to miss the chance to get such an amazing daughter-in-law.
"There is no reduction. If she can't even make ten million dollars, how can she be worthy of my daughter?" Fiona interrupted loudly. He then pushed, "Hmph! If she can get ten million, it could be an engagement gift for my daughter. When the time comes, the money must be given to me, or I will never recognize him as our son - the law!"
"It won't work." Ivan spoke up, "If he can make ten million dollars, I have to get it as compensation. I can't just be hit, can I?"
"Cannot be. Your treatment won't reach ten million!" There's no way Fiona will let this go. He has suffered in poverty for years. If he had ten million dollars, he could live his life comfortably.
"The "ten million Grandpa mentioned were for compensation, not engagement gifts. Can't you understand?" Ivan laughed happily. His words managed to leave Fiona confused.
"In a month, right?" Jack pondered, then said, "How about this. One month from now, on grandfather's seventieth birthday, I will pay Ivan ten million dollars in compensation, sending another ten million to Mother-in-law as an engagement gift, he said, and on top of that, send Grandpa ten million birthday gifts! Thirty million dollars in total. If I can't reach it, I'll be willing to divorce Selena!"
"Are you crazy? That much money in a month? You won't have enough even if you sell yourself!" Joan was scared to death. He guessed that Jack must have overstepped the mark and started talking nonsense.
"You can't be serious, right? Didn't I tell you not to brag?! Thirty million dollars! It's not three thousand dollars!" Selena also reprimanded him anxiously.
Selena's heart was touched. At that moment, she felt sure that Jack was not lying to her. "Well, I'll trust you!" In the end, Selena nodded. "of course. Jack, if you manage to do so, the Taylor family will not only acknowledge your identity! We can also ask your in-laws, Selena, and your entire family—including your mother—to move to Taylor Residence!"
The old man pondered for a moment, then said, "At that time, Selena can also continue her work at Taylor Group!"
"alright. You got a deal!" Jack agreed.
"Brat, you're really good at bragging. I want to see how embarrassing it would be for you if you failed to make money back then!" Ivan took two steps forward and glared at Jack.
Jack took out a cigarette and lit it casually. He took a deep breath. "And what if I manage to do it? If I fail, I will exit the Taylor Residence gate. However, if I succeed, you should kneel down and apologize to Selena. How sounds? After all, in the past five years, you have done a lot of harm!"
Listen everybody's way out. Remember, you're not walking out, but rolling over!" Iwan laughed out loud. 'It is a miracle for this trash to come back to life. Making thirty million dollars a month? Dream on!'
"Brother Ivan, don't worry, we're not deaf. We heard it clearly. We'll be your witnesses!" Cecilia crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Jack with a condescending look. "It's been five years. After finally returning and successfully buying some clothes for your mother and wife, you choose to get some imitation items. Your clothes are shouting poverty. I refuse to believe that you can make thirty million dollars!"
"you're right!"
"I think he knew that he wasn't worthy of Selena and decided to go all out with a bluff. When the time came, he could only step out of the Taylor Residence shamefully!"
"See him. If he can earn thirty million dollars in one month, then can't I easily set a hundred million as a small goal?"
Quite a number of Taylor's family members started laughing.
There were quite a number of people present. They worked mostly in the Taylor Group, under the hiring of Ivan Taylor. They naturally intended to lick it.
"Jack, you said it yourself. I'm waiting for ten of your herbs as an engagement gift. When the time comes, don't blame me for not being merciful!" Fiona reminded him after pondering about it.
"Fiona, have you gone crazy thinking about money? Do you really think that she can make that amount for her engagement gift?" Ivan smiled.
"Just ten million dollars as an engagement gift would allow me to marry Selena? I'll pay ten million dollars. Let her marry me! If that's not enough, I'm fine with fifty million dollars! lack of money?" Right at that moment, a burly man entered while laughing out loud, followed by a group of bodyguards.
