Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Where Does the Money Come From?
"July? Could you be mistaken about something?"
Quite a bit of tea spilled on the back of her hand, leaving a red mark, but Amanda Ford didn’t bother wiping it off. Instead, she pursued Arthur Lowell with further questions.
July Quinn had already fallen out with their family, and with her relationship with Charles Quinn, there was absolutely no way she could get money from The Quinn Family.
As for the vineyard the old master insisted on giving her amidst the opposition, didn’t she also transfer it to that Keaton kid?
Logically, July Quinn shouldn’t have that much money in her hands right now.
Could it be that the Keaton kid gave it to her?
Wasn’t it said before that that kid is the mysterious boss of Regalscape Group?
"What could I be mistaken about? When they signed the contract, I was right there watching. But that girl, July, she would rather give the deal to an outsider than to me."
In Arthur Lowell’s accusations, the crimes of July Quinn were countless.
As for the things she had said behind July Quinn’s back before, she didn’t think she was wrong.
She was, after all, July Quinn’s cousin, so what’s wrong with saying a few things about her? It’s not like it would hurt her!
So before Amanda Ford could speak, she started her tirade.
"Auntie, you really need to have a talk with July. Look at her, she’s so grown up, yet she still can’t distinguish between outsiders and family!"
"Also, I think it’s not right for a girl to be holding so much money. What if someone with ill intentions swindles it from her?"
"Besides, she’s not a son. In the future, she will eventually get married. When a girl marries, her loyalties often shift. What if she takes all this money to her husband’s family?"
The more Arthur Lowell spoke, the more obvious it became that she had another motive besides trying to make July Quinn hand over the contract.
That was to have Charles Quinn and Amanda Ford withdraw the funds in July Quinn’s possession, to see how she could still act high and mighty, still throwing her weight around.
However, what she didn’t know was that her words had given Amanda Ford an idea.
Yes!
No matter where July Quinn got the money to buy the shops, it had to end up in their own hands!
Just make it look like they’re helping her manage it and then seize it for themselves.
Otherwise, if the money stays in her hands, it might just end up like the vineyard before, being casually given away by her.
"I understand. Wait until your uncle comes back, and we’ll take care of this matter."
"Auntie, about the commission for the contract..."
Arthur Lowell didn’t say it directly, but Amanda Ford immediately understood her meaning.
The lower tier is the lower tier, and ants are ants.
How she holds onto such a small amount of money!
But considering the valuable information Arthur Lowell had given her, if they could really get all the money July Quinn had into their hands, what would a mere million plus mean?
So, Amanda Ford agreed directly: "Alright, once I settle this matter, I’ll have July transfer the money to you."
"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie..."
Hearing Arthur Lowell’s repeated thanks, Amanda Ford coldly curled her lips.

In the evening, when Charles Quinn came home from work, Amanda Ford told him about July Quinn buying nearly an entire block of commercial properties in the Empire Building with full payment.
"An entire block? And in full payment? How could July have that much money? Are you sure Arthur didn’t mishear?"
It’s no wonder Charles Quinn was shocked, as the commercial properties in the Empire Building were very valuable.
Calculating it this way, a whole street would be close to ten billion, almost equivalent to all the assets of The Quinn Family.
"Arthur said she was there watching when July signed the contract, so there’s no way it’s wrong."
At this point, Amanda Ford casually asked as if unintentionally: "Do you think, could July have suddenly gotten such money because the old master secretly gave her some behind our backs?"
Amanda Ford was most worried that Old Master Quinn had quietly left properties, which originally belonged to them, to July Quinn!
But this idea was quickly denied by Charles Quinn.
"No, I’ve got a tight grip on all of my father’s assets. If there were billions out there moving, how could I not know?"
"Then where did July’s money come from?"
"Maybe she earned it later in the entertainment industry, or maybe that Keaton kid gave it to her."
The more he spoke, the more uncomfortable Charles Quinn felt.
Although she made money in the entertainment industry, he, as the owner of an entertainment company, knew that the big bucks were taken by the company, and the artists only got a small fraction due to the unwritten rules.
Moreover, there were so many members in GIRLS, and since July Quinn hadn’t participated in many commercial performances, the money she got would certainly be little.
Accumulating billions by herself, Charles Quinn found it unrealistic.
So, this money was more likely given to July Quinn by Kyle Keaton.
Thus, he regretted even more.
Look, this advantageous son-in-law could just randomly give July so much money to squander. If they hadn’t fallen out with him back then, the money he would have offered his father-in-law would certainly have been more than just this few billion.
Seeing Charles Quinn’s face full of regret, Amanda Ford knew she was almost there. She then casually sighed as if by accident.
"Poor July, she’s uneducated and inexperienced in business. If such a large sum were in her hands, she’d squander it all in no time. But if the money were in your hands, it would be different. We could start that project we were interested in, and even buy that house we planned to give Nina as a dowry..."
As expected, the greed soon made Charles Quinn lose his rationality.
"Right, this money shouldn’t be in July’s hands!"
