The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 494

Ford flushed slightly but quickly regained his composure. Maintaining a friendly smile, he said "Ma'am, this is not just a piece of paper, it's a check. You take it to the bank and you can cash it in."

Evelyn was a wary woman. "I don't trust these checks," she retorted, "I'm too old for this. I want cash, or you can directly wire me the money."

Ford chuckled, responding politely, "We don't have that kind of cash here. I can accompany you to the bank and show you how to cash the check. How does it sound to you?"

After a moment of consideration, Evelyn agreed. After all, if Ford tried to scam her, she could report him to the police. She would keep her eyes on him and make sure he wouldn’t run off.

Ford informed Richard upstairs before leaving with Evelyn.

Before long, the bank had transferred three million dollars into Evelyn's account.

Seeing the deposit confirmation, Evelyn was overjoyed.

"Alright, I'll be going now," she told Ford, "You can go back too."

Evelyn, clutching her phone with excitement, left.

Instead of going straight home, she decided to check out some properties. She wanted to buy a house.

Her family of six had been living in Starhaven for three to four years. They were moving all the time according to her daughter Thalassa's job location, and they were always living in a rented house.

The constant moving made her feel so insecure.

If they could buy a house and settle down, they might be less looked down upon.

At least Thalassa would have more confidence when it came to marriage.

But after asking around about house prices, Evelyn was taken aback by the exorbitant real estate market.

No wonder they were looked down upon.

No wonder the Sinclair family said Thalassa wasn't suitable for their family.

Struck by the harsh reality, Evelyn felt a pang of disappointment and frustration. She blamed herself for not being able to provide solid support for Thalassa.
