Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 291

After hearing Eugene’s story, Casper was troubled for a long time. In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh. When he turned around, he found that Terrence was standing behind him.

Terrence heard Eugene’s story too. He stood there blankly, and his eyes couldn’t stay focused. He was lost in thought and had no idea what was on his mind.

“Mr. Clauder, let’s go home.”

Casper didn’t say anything again and patted Terrence on the shoulder. Of course, he would give them money but not to Terrence.

With that, Casper took Terrence, who was absent-minded, upstairs. Belinda came out after Casper knocked on the door. However, as soon as she saw Terrence like that, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Clauder. Mr. Clauder has paid off his debt. No one will come to look for trouble again,” Casper explained.

Belinda was surprised. She looked at Casper, the young man in front of her. Obviously, she couldn’t believe it.

Belinda knew about Terrence’s debt. It was a total of tens of millions. She thought Terrence and Casper would be away for at least half a month to pay off the debt when the latter came to pick Terrence up last night. She couldn’t believe it when Casper told her they paid off Terrence’s debt in just one night. Is he lying to me?

Just when Belinda was still doubtful, Terrence sighed suddenly and said, “You helped me, and I’ll always remember your kindness. But Belinda, you might not be able to return to your family for the rest of your life.”

Terrence’s eyes looked crystal clear and were not as muddled as when he was a gambler when he said that.

Belinda’s body shivered. She looked into Terrence’s eyes and noticed a sense of familiarity in the man she once fell in love with. “Terrence, no. Don’t be silly. I was willing to follow you back then. Why would I care about that now?”

“But Belinda, they are your family! I’ve always blamed myself when I see you looking sad when you look at your parents’ photo. I’m so useless. I can’t even let you return to your family.”

Next to them, Casper was observing the entire scene. I’m not here to see you two showing affection to each other.

However, the moment he heard about the Yach family, his heart skipped a beat. With the combat skills Belinda possessed, Casper suddenly thought of a prominent family Alfred used to talk about.

Besides the Stalling family in Jazona, the Yach family of Yaleview was one of the most prominent families in Chanaea. The Stallings was a prominent family in the realm of medicine, and with their extensive knowledge, they saved a lot of lives. On the other hand, the Yach family used military force to protect Chanaea.

The Yach family had always been involved in the world of combat arts, and they had been protecting Chanaea for generations. However, they seemed to gradually vanish with the appearance of weapons. Nonetheless, their power had not been weakened at all. They had been cooperating with the army of Chanaea all the while. In fact, they were still more powerful than the Stalling family up until now.

Giselle’s mother is from the Yach family? Casper was stunned. He wanted to listen more. However, Belinda put her index finger in front of Terrence’s mouth and told him to stop.

“Terrence, that’s enough. It’s better to live a simple life with you than to watch you suffer outside. Besides, we have Giselle now. If you go on like this, she’s the one to suffer in the end.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Belinda was getting so emotional that she couldn’t help but weep. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Seeing that, Terrence couldn’t help but give himself a big slap.

“I’m a bad guy. I’m not even fit to become a father. I’m not a man at all. I’m addicted to gambling and made the two of you worried all the time.”

Terrence couldn’t help slapping himself until he almost couldn’t stand up. Casper hurried forward to stop him. “Mr. Clauder, you can’t do this to yourself. It’s not too late that you know you’re wrong now. And please, don’t hurt yourself anymore.”

However, Casper wished Terrence could slap himself a few more times so that the latter could remember the lesson learned from gambling. Casper was risking his life to save him the other night. Not only that, he had to give Terrence the money. If it weren’t for the sake that Terrence was Giselle’s father, Casper would have turned a blind eye to what happened.

Upon hearing that, Terrence stopped beating himself. He held Casper’s hand and said, “You are a very good young man, and thank you once again. You’re the one who helped me pay off my debt, and it’s you who made me realize how deeply I was addicted to gambling.”

“Let’s not talk at the door anymore. Go inside the house.” Belinda wiped her tears and led Terrence and Casper into the house.

Casper rubbed his hands and didn’t know what to say. He took out a card and held it in his hand. He wanted to give it to Belinda later.

However, Terrence began to repent in the living room. He kept talking about his mistakes and couldn’t help but sob like a child.

Casper was confused. Terrence wouldn’t listen to anyone before that, but why did he repent after hearing Eugene’s story?

If he is truly repentant, I don’t mind giving him the bank card. I hope he truly regrets it now. But I still have to find someone to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, I’ll still be worried about him.

Nonetheless, Terrence and Belinda kept showing affection to each other in front of Casper. They were calling each other sweetly in front of him. Instantly, Casper felt inappropriate sitting next to them in the living room. He coughed awkwardly, trying to interrupt his future father and mother-in-law.

“Well, Mr. and Mrs. Clauder. I’ll go back first. Please have a good rest.”

Casper put the bank card on the couch he sat on and wanted to leave. However, Belinda hurried over. “Casper! You haven’t finished your tea. Why are you leaving in a hurry?”

I’m embarrassed watching the two of you. I feel like a third wheel!

Of course, Casper couldn’t say what was on his mind. He pretended to be timorous and said, “I’ve done everything I can do. Mr. Clauder paid off his debt. I hope he will not gamble again in the future and live a good life.”

Then he whispered to Belinda, “I have left a bank card on the couch. The password is six zeros. There’s two million in it because that’s the maximum limit of the card. You and Mr. Clauder can use the money first. I’ll transfer another ten million to you tomorrow.”

Belinda looked at Casper with respect. She couldn’t figure out how the young man could pay off Terrence’s gambling debt of tens of millions in just one night. Furthermore, he made it seem like millions and ten million were just like a few hundreds to him.

“You keep a low profile, but I didn’t expect you to be such a remarkable person. No wonder Giselle likes you. Bring her home for dinner the day after tomorrow.”

Belinda spoke with a smile. Her words made Casper feel that what he had done for the whole night was worth it. He felt as if he was on cloud nine.

“Sure, Mrs. Clauder.”

Hearing that, Belinda pulled a long face. “Why are you still calling me Mrs. Clauder? Don’t call me Mrs. Clauder when you’re here for dinner next time. Otherwise, I won’t let you in.”

Casper was thrilled. It seemed that he had impressed his future mother-in-law. I’m one step closer to marrying Giselle!

Casper was so happy that he was hopping down the stairs when he left. Belinda watched him leave, and the smile on her face gradually turned into a hopeful beam.

She looked in the direction of the sunlight and muttered, “Casper, you’re a Simpson. Judging from your temperament, you are indeed a member of the Simpson family. The legendary family finally appeared. Maybe you can help me return to the Yach family?”
