The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 287 All Assets

A jumpy voice rang out the moment Madam Shaw finished speaking.

"Woah! What's going on? Who's getting hurt? Tell me! Tell me!"

Everyone in the living room turned their heads in unison and looked at Seth. He was walking into the house with a wide grin plastered across his face.

Seth blinked his eyes.

He realized that something wasn't right.

'Did I come at the wrong time?'

As the thought surfaced in Seth's mind, he began to retreat.

"Where do you think you are going? Did you bring the things I asked?" Jacob asked.

"Uhh..." Seth bit the bullet and walked forward. “Yeah. They're with me now. What are you going to do with them?"

"Stop asking, and give me the check." Jacob held out his arm. "I remember asking you to apply for a cash check with my savings account."

"Yeah, I did." Seth felt the atmosphere wasn't right but still handed the cash check over to Jacob.

Jacob detached a check, pulled out a pen, and began writing.

Then, he pushed the check toward Madam Shaw and said with an indifferent voice, "I said I'd give you back the money that I owed you. You've sent me 500,000 dollars so I'll return it tenfold. Here's five million dollars on the check. You can cash it out at any Canadian bank.''

Frowning, Madam Shaw sneered, "Five million dollars? Is it a bad check? If you don't have that kind o f money in your account, I won't be able to cash anything out."

"You don't have to worry about that. I can assure you. I f you fail at cashing out that five million dollars, I'll compensate you a hundred-fold,” Jacob replied calmly.

"You're full of hot air. A hundred-fold? Do you really think I'd believe your b*llsh*t?” Madam Shaw shot a glance at Seth before continuing, "This money is from Seth, right? Let me tell you something, brat. Don't try putting on a big hat if you don't have the head to wear i t. I'll only make you look like a clown.

After she passed the Lanyard Corporation to Julian, Madam Shaw had removed herself from related business matters. She rarely surfed the net so she wasn't aware of the ruckus that Seth and Jacob had caused.

Jacob raised his brows. "Don't worry, I earned the money myself." 'You earned it yourself?” Madam Shaw asked, her brow raised on her face. A lopsided grin crossed her face as she continued, "Don't make me laugh, please. I've heard that there's some improvement in your mental disease. I’m going to assume that's a hoax now. You're delusional."

Jacob remained indifferent toward Madam Shaw's snappy remarks but Seth was displeased. “Madam Shaw, what Jacob said is the truth. According to my estimation, the system he developed is worth more than fifty billion, so five million dollars is a piece of cake for him."

"Fifty billion?" Madam Shaw was stunned, her tone accented with disbelief.

Although Seth still didn't know what was going on, it didn't deter him from standing up for his friend.

Fortunately, he brought a few documents with him when he went back to the company earlier on.

He unbuttoned his suit and pulled out a pile of documents, which stunned everyone around him.

Everyone wondered how he managed to stuff so many documents into his suit.

"This is information regarding our company. This is the patent certificate for our system, and this is the certificate for setting two world records.

"This is the supporting document from the government. It states how they'll offer us all the help w e need to develop our system."

"This, and this. This, and this... All of them were proposals from several well-known technology conglomerates across the nation who wanted to invest in our company. Unfortunately, I declined.

"Then, as for this stack of documents, it's them asking to buy our patent. Our patent fee is only a billion dollars a year so I think that's a little too cheap, right? What do you think?

"If one document is a billion dollars, we have one, two, three billion..."

Seth began going through the pile of documents in quick succession as he did the math.

Madam Shaw still couldn't come around to her senses. She could only watch with her mouth agape. Her head was now filled with only Seth’s voice.

When she saw that Seth was going to pull out more documents, her expression turned gloomy as she said, "Hold on a second."

"Hmm?" Seth blinked his eyes as he took out the last document. "Well, this is the last one. We’re still a pretty new company that's only been established for less than a month. We can’t be compared to Lanyard.”

A vein on Madam Shaw's forehead bulged at Seth's tone and remark.

'If everything he said was true, then the SL Company could earn up to ten or so billions from just patent fees alone. Why does he still look like they're at a loss?'

Madam Shaw was infuriated. 'Is that b*llsh*t system that great?!' C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

However, Madam Shaw soon realized that Seth didn't have to lie to her. After all, she just had to take a closer look into the matter and his cover would be blown.

"Jacob is my business partner and owns 60% of the company shares. We don't have any other partners right now, so he can take home a few hundred million dollars based on our company's revenue.” Seth continued nonchalantly, "So, don't worry about the money, Madam Shaw. Jacob isn't short of money.”

Madam Shaw felt like she was going to vomit blood.

Did she look like she was short of money?

Seth had said everything in Jacob's mind. With that, Jacob tapped his pen on the table and said with his brow raised, "I've paid you back tenfold, so Susie and I aren't indebted to you any longer, Madam Shaw. I hope you haven't forgotten the promise we have. Now that I've fulfilled my end of the deal, it's time for you to hold up your end."

"I am her mother-in-law. How could you dare to want me to apologize to her?!" Madam Shaw snarled as her expression took on an ugly color.

"That isn't an excuse for you to take advantage of your seniority, Madam Shaw. A promise is a promise, and I think you know best how many times you've made the situation difficult for Susie. I've returned you the money so we don't owe you anything any longer."

Jacob said calmly, "Naturally, I can't force you if you refuse to apologize to us. However, if you dare to use the surgery to threaten Susie again, don't blame me for going too far with my actions."

Madam Shaw's face was livid with rage. She replied coldly, "It is just five million dollars. Do you really think you’re that rich? Besides, this is your money, not hers. Susan’s married to Julian and you can't deny the fact that she married above herself."

"Seth." Jacob threw a look at Seth.

Receiving his order, Seth took out another document.

Jacob placed the document in front of Madam Shaw and said, "These were the shares I own in SL Systems that I've transferred to Susie. Just 60% of the shares alone are worth tens of billions, not to mention how it'll continue rising in value. I don't think it'll fare any worser than Lanyard in the future. Because of this, please forgive me for not being able to agree when you said Susie married above herself."

Madam Shaw’s expression turned grim the moment Jacob took the document out.

It was impossible for a normal brother and sister to go to this extent.

Jacob had given almost all his assets to Susan.

Susan was stunned as well. She had no idea when Jacob transferred the shares to her.
