Chapter 470

Over at Spices Diner, Florence sat in a booth and took in the sight around her, occasionally

commenting on what she saw. “Look, Dahlia. Things are so different here in Millsburg. Every other

diner here looks so posh! I’ve decided! I’ll stay here in Millsburg for good! This is such a huge and

advanced city! Everything’s so convenient here, and it’s way better than stuffy old Swinton!”

There was nothing much Dahlia could do but listen helplessly. She had planned on coming to Millsburg

to assume her position alone, but Florence and James insisted on tagging along. They claimed that

they didn’t want her coming to Millsburg alone with no one to rely on and that they’d be more at ease

knowing that they’d be able to help her and take care of her.

“Mom, does Aunt Victoria live nearby?” James suddenly asked out of nowhere.

“She does! And I’ve invited her to join us for lunch. She should be here by now.” Florence nodded.

As they spoke, a group of three came in through the door, led by a glamorously dressed middle–aged

woman. She was adorned from head to toe in gold, from gold necklaces to gold earrings and rings. She

appeared every part a wealthy woman, and she was none other than Florence’s sister, Victoria

Franklin. Following behind her were Julie and an attractive young man.

“You’re here, Victoria! Quick, have a seat!” Florence immediately stood up and welcomed them

enthusiastically when she saw them coming in through the door.

“Florence, why have you decided to visit Millsburg? Victoria eyed her from head to toe, deliberately

showing off her gold bangles and the thick gold rings on her fingers as she spoke.

“Dahlia’s running a company here in Millsburg, so we followed her here.” Florence chuckled. Then, it

finally registered with her how flashily Victoria had dressed up. “Hey, have you hit the jackpot? Where’d

you get all your jewelry from?”

“Haha! These are nothing! I’ve got loads more at home!” Victoria smiled smugly. “I have to say, I’ve got

quite an accomplished daughter. She recently made a hundred million dollars, so she got me some

jewelry.”

“What? A hundred million dollars?” Florence’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Julie, since when were you

so capable?” Dahlia had toiled and suffered for three whole years to start up Quine Group, and even

she did not

have a hundred million in cash. Julie had struck il rich indeed!

“Oh, Aunt Florence, have you forgotten I graduated from a prestigious university? I’ve always been

capable! You just don’t know it.” Julie hugged her arms arrogantly. She had returned to Millsburg and

enjoyed all of

life’s pleasure after selling off Florence’s sapphire.

“I guess I never found out.” Florence shot her an awkward smile.

“Florence, how long does it take for Dahlia to make a hundred million dollars? A year or two? Well,

Julie did it in three days!” Victoria announced proudly.

“Three days? You wouldn’t get rich so soon even if you robbed a bank!” James had his doubts.

“Oh, you have such a limited worldview,” Julie made a disdainful face.

“Victoria, who’s this with you?” Florence’s gaze stopped on the charming young man who stood beside

Julie.

“Oh, this is my daughter’s boyfriend. He’s Terrence Stone.” At the mention of Terrence, Victoria was

even more chuffed up. “Terrence is a manager in Brooks Corporation. A fine young man with broad

connections, he is. Oh, by the way, do you know Brooks Corporation? That’s a large enterprise worth

several billion in market value!”

“Worth billions?” Florence was shocked to hear that. Cardinal Group was big enough of a deal for her.

The prospect of a company with a value of up to billions was unimaginable. Was this the kind of

grandeur that Millsburg had to offer?
