Chapter 562
Mike studied her serious expression, guessing, "You're not thinking of giving that money back, are you?! We don't have that kind of money."
After Mike finished speaking, he took a deep breath.
Violette asked him earnestly, "How much do we have?"
Mike was stumped by the question. "I've never really paid attention. You are the people in charge, don’t you know?" Violette admitted she hadn't been keeping track either.
"You take the kids back first. I'll follow in a few days." She promptly changed the topic. "Isn't it about time for your to leave? Don't miss the flight.”
Mike knew her too well, so he couldn't help but advise, "Violette, that news wasn't released by Elijah. Joey told me it was targeted at him, and you just got dragged into it. The billion dollars might be astronomical for us, but not for Elijah. You don't need to put this much pressure on yourself over it. Your priority right now should be your health. You're pregnant after all."
"| know." Violette was noticeably more relaxed. "You've given him so many kids, consider this money child support." Mike continued to comfort her.
She glanced at their two children playing not far away. "Enough about this. Be careful on your journey, and text me when you arrive."
"Sure. If you don't come back within a week, I'll fly over to get you." Mike assured her. "We'll see when the time comes." She saw them off.
After their departure, Violette returned to her villa. She went to her room to change and then instructed her bodyguard to drive her to AN Tech. She wanted to figure out exactly how much she could afford to give back. A billion dollars was no small sum, not something she could return on a whim.
When Mike arrived in A Country with the kids, Joey immediately showed up at Silverleaf Ridge. Claiming he was there to cook for them, he pulled Mike into the kitchen for a private talk.
"She saw the news, right?" Mike responded affirmatively, "Odette probably told her."
"Well, my boss had lawyers sue the magazine that published it." Joey mentioned, then inquired, "How did Violette react to the news?"
“What do you think her reaction was?" Mike countered.
“Based on what | know about her, she probably wants to give the money back to my president." Joey speculated, "But | doubt she can pull together that much money in one go."
“Haha, you guessed right. But she has no idea how much she's worth. She runs her business not to accumulate wealth but to keep herself busy." Mike couldn't help but chuckle, recalling her puzzled expression when she asked how much money they had.
"She probably started the company to restore the Dennis Group." Joey corrected him, "But considering her company's current outlook, repaying the billion dollars wouldn't be a stretch."
"Why should she return it?" Of course, Mike sided with Violette. "Elijah willingly gave the money. We didn't force him."
Joey was taken aback, "My president never asked for the money back. Why are you getting so worked up?" “Are you trying to imply something here?" Mike shot him a glare, "Didn't Elijah send you to ask?"
Joey raised his hands in defense, "My president would never stoop so low. Plus, she's carrying his child, why would he ask her for money?"
