Aaron felt that what Patricia had said was impossible. His family was not easy for ordinary people to deal with nor could they afford to be provoked. Hence, he refused to let Chuck get back the 5 billion dollars or even 10 billion dollars.
It was easier said than done.
Even if Chuck had equal power as the Dawson family, or was perhaps even stronger, so what? Aaron firmly believed the Dawson family would not be afraid of him.
Thinking of this, he said, "Don't overthink. The 2.5 billion was compensated by that idiot, I won't give it back. How about I give you 500 million dollars? Or 1 billion?" Although Aaron was often beaten up by Patricia, he genuinely liked her from the bottom of his heart because he had been looking up to her since childhood.
As a result, he had always been obedient to her. But this time, it was 2.5 billion dollars! He really wanted to spend it recklessly, how could he possibly be willing to let go of it?
Although his family was wealthy, his father had never given him so much money!
"Shut up!" Patricia barked at him as she was unmoved. Now that she had graduated from college and took over half of the family's business, how would she care about the one billion dollars he had offered? In addition, even if it was Aaron's money, she would not want it either.
However, it was very dangerous to keep that money!
Patricia felt that it must be returned.
"Sister..." Aaron begged her.
"Do you still want to refuse? You're trying to challenge my patience, aren't you?" Patricia snorted. Aaron covered his cheek quickly and said aggrievedly, "Sister, you are the president of the company of our family now. Why are you being so timid?"
"It's not that I'm timid. It's because you're too young to understand some matters." Patricia spoke gently, "You know where that plaza is located, right? Bring me there, I want to find out his background. But I'm warning you, you'd better bring along the money. There is no room for negotiation. Now, show me the way!"
Walking with her slender legs, Patricia then got into her car. Aaron had no choice but to listen to her and led the way.
Soon, Aaron took Patricia to City Square. After they entered the parking lot, both of them got out of the car. Patricia was looking around the plaza.
"Look, this plaza is lousy, isn't it? There is not even a compliment office building. Isn't it lousy?" Aaron said disdainfully. When Patricia was with him, he looked like a kid who had his parent by his side, which made him feel extra confident.
"Shut up, what are you looking at? The location of the plaza is very good, it has great prospects as well. It will definitely be a success in three to five years' time. Also, how do you know that there would be no office buildings? An office building could be built right over there," Patricia said as she pointed to an area ahead of them. Aaron shook his head, he didn't agree with her. It was not easy to build another office building.
She added, "Besides, did you notice that the plaza has strict management? They had their own way of managing, which is very comfortable. It's just a matter of time for this plaza to grow." Patricia could see that the plaza had bright prospects, its management was very unique as well, making it feel convenient for every customer. Additionally, they could enjoy the shopping experience over there. How could such a plaza not be able to grow?
"Sister, can you stop complimenting it?" Aaron curled his lips.
Patricia replied, "I'm not complimenting, but the person you're talking about has the ability and vision. He must be from a well-known family."
"Our Dawson family is famous too!" Aaron said as he felt unpleasant. Why was his sister always complimenting others?
"It's not the same. Our family has a long way to go from being one. You've no idea how a real well-known family could be," Patricia corrected him. She felt very helpless as Aaron couldn't understand all of this, being only a student.
"I do. It's just like our Dawson family, great and powerful!" Aaron said proudly.
Patricia frowned, "Are you going to continue being stubborn?"
Hearing her tone, Aaron trembled, covering his cheek and stopped speaking.
"Ask that person out. I want to see him in person!" Patricia felt obliged to do so. She didn't want to add an unknown enemy to her family.
"Sister, is that necessary?" Aaron asked as he was getting unhappy. If they met in person, he'd have to return the 2.5 billion dollars to Chuck. He was not willing to do so!
"Do as I say!" Patricia ordered fiercely. Aaron was scared, nodding his head. But he didn't have Chuck's number, so he could only ask from someone. He rang his classmates to see if he could get Chuck's number.
