Chapter 360 I Am Not Short Of Money
The Grant family that Maggie Grant was in was a prominent presence in Lumenopolis, and it was morepowerful and influential than the Morrisons.
The Breezeworth Hall had a branch in Nebula City too, and it was being run by Maggie.
She only met Alex twice in her life.
The first time was when she went to Portabello Street to buy some antiques. She was being bullied bythe vendor, so Alex helped her out. She then gave Alex a VIP card for the Breezeworth Hall to expressher gratitude, and because she thought that Alex was someone powerful as well.
The second time was when Alex went to an auction at the Breezeworth Hall.
They had never met each other since.
What trouble is Maggie facing, and why does she need my help? With the Grant family’s power andstatus, no one would dare to harm her even in Nebula City, right?
Stefan explained, “Ms. Grant is really unlucky lately, and a series of unfortunate events kept happeningto her…”
Alex nodded in acknowledgement because he expected this answer.
To Stefan, Alex was just a Master Geomancer and a live-in son-in-law, so Stefan definitely came to askfor his help in the aspect of geomancy.
Stefan continued, “Ms. Grant consulted a lot of geomancers, but they couldn’t figure out the problem. Iwould like to ask for your help to give her a consultation because maybe you’d be able to fix the issue.”
After giving it some thought, Alex replied, “Tell me what kind of unfortunate events she has faced latelyand I’ll tell you if I can help her or not.”
He had a good impression of Maggie, so he could consider helping her out if something related togeomancy was the problem she was facing.
Besides that, the Penguin Group was deliberately trying to oppress the Four Seas Corporation, so itwas a strategic move to earn a favor from the Grant family as well.
Stefan said, “Ms. Grant keeps getting injured lately. She even had two car accidents on the same day.Her life was not in danger, but she was hospitalized for a few days. Besides that, she even fell downthe stairs once. Fortunately, the stairs were carpeted, so she only twisted her ankle. Furthermore, shescalded her hand when she was drinking coffee. And the worst thing was, she was bitten by her petdog of three years last night. Also, she faced a lot of troubles when she took over the BreezeworthHall’s branch in Nebula City recently. She made a few mistakes during the auctions and caused hercompany to suffer a loss of a few million…”
“Alright. I get it now.”
Alex interrupted his rambling and said, “Ms. Grant really is unlucky lately. If I’m not mistaken,something must’ve gone wrong in her natural geomantic alignment.”
Stefan interjected, “Yeah. Some of the geomancers said that too, but they couldn’t pinpoint what theproblem is. Also, what made her the most upset is that she had lost her necklace that her mother hadgiven her before she passed on. She sent out a lot of people to search for it, and she even called thepolice
to no avail…”
“Mmm.”
Alex then said suddenly, “Mr. Jones, I don’t expect any repayment for offering my help, but that doesrmean I’ll simply help anyone.”
“Huh?” Stefan couldn’t understand what Alex meant.
Alex explained very honestly, “I’m not even close to the Grant family, so why should I even help her?”
Stefan finally realized what he was trying to say, so he tried to convince him, “Mr. Jefferson, I’ll give yoany amount of money you want if you’re willing to help her. Oh, and I’ll also send the card with tenbillion inside it to you today.”novelbin
“I’m not short of money,” Alex responded indifferently.
Stefan fell silent and took a moment to figure out what Alex meant.
