Now, James wondered if Gladys was a product of her circumstances.
James nodded, saying, “Setting up a clinic is easy. However, I think we should wait. I heard that the trade center in the city would be looking for foreign investors. We can set up a clinic there.”
Smack!
Gladys smacked him on the head. “Do you know what sort of place the trade center is? It’s an upscale place designed to be the nation’s busiest financial center. Are you crazy? How are we supposed to set up a clinic there? The rental fee would be sky-high, not to mention all the expenses.”
James touched his head ruefully.
Rent?
He was going to purchase the entire trade center. If he decided to set up a clinic there, who would demand rent from him?
However, he smartly kept his mouth shut.
If he told them that he would purchase the trade center, they would think him a fool.
As soon as David heard that Gladys was going to fund James’ clinic, he panicked. Immediately, he said, “Mom, you can’t do this. You’ll lose everything if you invest in this piece of trash. You promised me a new car with the money. How could you do this to me?”
“Mom, our wedding anniversary is coming up. What about the dress you promised me?”
“That’s enough,” Gladys scolded. “If you’re poor, don’t spend on what you can’t afford. Do you need a new car? Why do you need a new dress? Aren’t you familiar with your financial situation? Besides, this money was Thea’s anyway.”
“Mom, you’re biased. I’m your son. He’s just your son-in-law.”
Gladys smacked David on his head. “Look at Tommy. He’s working at Eternality as a department manager. And John’s son Weston Callahan has set up his own processing plant even though he’s not with Eternality. He has an annual income exceeding ten million. What about you? What have you done?”
David did not have the guts to argue. He merely glared at James with hatred.
Thea smiled but said nothing.
Seeing as Gladys approved of James, she was happy.
