Chapter 246
Anthen had initially thought that they come here to make a scene.
But no, they were here for the big bucks.
They nonchalantly demanded fifty million dollars.
They had the audacity to expect it as a matter of course.
To say they were shaineless would be an insult to the word itself.
“Fifty million? That’s chump change for us. We’ve got a hundred million, Anthea replied with casual indifference.
Vanessa’s jaw dropped at Anthea’s words.
“Are you for real?”
It wasn’t just Vanessa who was stunned; Felton, Gemma, and Saul by her side were flabbergasted as well.
A hundred million! What did that even mean?
It meant their family was about to join the ranks of the billionaires,
Anthea gave a slight nod, “Of course it’s real. How else do you think we had the money to buy the storefront? And we’re not stopping at that, we’re gearing up to buy a mansion!”
This wasn’t an empty boast
That hundred million didn’t even include the restaurant’s earnings. It was all thanks to Anthea’s gigs on tech websites, her streaming revenue, and the sales of her climate–controlled clothing line.
As for the restaurant’s profits, Carole had been banking them all along since she was the one running the show
Vanessa’s heart soured with jealousy upon hearing that Carole had a hundred million stashed away.
However, the thought that all that money would soon be hers eased her envy considerably. She followed up with, “You two are doing just fine here, aren’t you? Why move into a mansion! Head straight to the bank and transfer that hundred million into our account! Such a hefty sum should be under our safekeeping, You, a widow and orphan, might fall prey to swindlers, you know?”
The mansion should be theirs to purchase!
Anthea and Carole had no right to live in such luxury.
Vanessa had initially come to demand fifty million from Carole. But to her utter surprise, Carole had a hundred million!
What a windfall!
With a hundred million, she could buy several mansions, not just for herself but also for her siblings back home!
She could uplift her entire family to a life of luxury.
“Let’s go now! To the bank! And transfer that money into your uncle and my accounts! Vanessa commanded. “And Annie, I heard
you, you’re making a lot as a streamer What’s a kid like you doing with all that money? Hand over your bank card and switch it to mine. Il give you a thousand a month for pocket money, and that’s more than enough!”
A thousand bucks wasn’t a small sum!
What could Anthea, a mere girl, do with all that money?
As for the rest, Vanessa had plans for her own son and daughter.
With this money, she could send her kids abroad for their studies.
Anthea glanced out the window with a smirk, “Its not even dark yet, and you’re already dreaming. Let me tell you, you won’t get a dime of my money!”
“What do you mean ‘your money!” Gemma interjected. “That money is mine! Even you belong to the Yeager bloodline! You shameless leech!”
Vanessa slumped onto the couch, adding fuel to the fire, “Mom’s right. Not just the money, even you are property of the Yeagers! If you don’t hand it over, we’re not leaving. Torporrow, we’ll lock up all your shops and see who can outlast who!”
Carole was unmarried, and Anthea bore the Yeager name.
They thought they could break away from the Yeager family? Not a chance!
Alive or dead, they were Yeagers through and through!
Even if they took it to the cops, it would just be a family dispute.
Carole took a deep breath, knowing this wouldn’t end unless she gave in.

Chapter 245
They were bound by blood, and no one could ever the ties of their troubled family roots.
I don’t have fifty million: How much do you want?!
Anthea frowned slightly. She understood Carole’s mindset. But with people like the Yeager parents, there could be no compromise.
Not a single cent! Because once the precedent was set, there would be no end to their demands, an endless source of trouble.
Anthea had to think of a way to bolster Carole’s resolve.
Her eyes landed on Gemma, and she had a plan.
“Don’t! Mom, don’t give them anything!” Anthea exclaimed loudly.
“Shut your mouth, bitch!” Gemma sprang up, hurling insults at Anthea
