The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

The bank liquidated the Xaviers’ other villas, and now most of them were either homeless or renting houses to live in. 

This remaining villa was Rowena Xavier’s personal property. 

Trent’s plan to heavily inflate the prices of worthless artifacts and sell them off to people worked. Most of the attendees had spent money in that auction and bought something from the Xaviers, intimidated by Trent’s power, Trent may have died, but the money fell into Rowena’s hands. Rowena was a woman, but she became a pillar of hope after Warren and Trent’s deaths. The Xaviers all turned to her, in hopes of her pulling them back up into wealth. 

Villa, room on the second floor. 

An old man, around 50 years of age, lay on the bed. Beside him was a woman clad in a white dress. 

That woman was Rowena Xavier. She was in her 30s but looked no older than 19 thanks to her high-maintenance lifestyle. She was slim and had delicate facial features. She was an attractive woman in every sense of the word, with her long hair flowing down her shoulders and her slightly see-through dress only accentuating her seductive charm. 

“Mr. Bertrand, when are you going to make good on your promise?” Rowena said as she looked at the old man on the bed that was wearing only his underwear. 

This man was a big shot, with connections in high places. 

The Xaviers were bankrupt. Most of their assets had been liquidated, so Rowena too was using every connection she had in order to get back some of their properties. 

Charles looked at the gorgeous Rowena and smiled. 

“Don’t worry. I always keep my word. As you know, Alex Yates used the proper channels to bankrupt you. I need to be able to deal with every aspect of that.” 

Rowena walked over to him and snuggled into Charles’s arms. 

“I’ve given you at least fifty million, Mr. Bertrand,” she said coquettishly. 

“It’s been so long. Give me an accurate time frame.” 

“Soon. It’s soon. Within a few days.” 

Charles was smiling at her, but he was secretly disdainful. 

‘Stupid woman,’ he thought.
