Chapter 762
“Is there a cash prize this time p>
The old lady asked excitedly.
“Not this time, but there might be a university scholarship at the end of the term.” “That’s fine. You’ll definitely be number one at the end of the term too p>
“I’ll borrow your good luck, Grandma. If I get the scholarship, I’ll give it all to you for your card games. You can play as much as you want, buy whatever you want, and spend it however you please p>
“Perfect. I’ll be waiting p>
Grandma Evelyn’s eyes sparkled.
Anyone else listening might have thought she was broke and desperately relying on her granddaughter’s pocket money.
“Rachel, I heard a new card room opened in our neighborhood. Is that true p>
“It is. If you want to play, I can take you tomorrow p>
“Ah, not tomorrow. I’ll wait until Mira gets her scholarship p>
Rachel was speechless.
She desperately wanted to tell the old woman she’d just give her the money to play.
It wasn’t like Evelyn was actually broke any single bracelet she wore was worth
the price of a house.
But she couldn’t say it.
Even Mira hadn’t expected her grandmother’s response.
“Grandma, are you out of money? I can transfer some to you right now. You can go play cards with Rachel tomorrow p>
“Who wants your money? I have plenty of my own.
I specifically want to use your scholarship money so I can show it off to all the other old folks p>
She stuck her neck out stubbornly, looking exactly like a smug child.
No wonder people said the elderly turned back into kids. Grandma Evelyn was the perfect example.
“Grandma, I still have the bonus money from when I was the top exam scorer p>
Mira ventured.
“Stop right there. That’s old news. I’ve already bragged about that to all my friends. I specifically want your next scholarship p>
Mira finally understood. Her grandmother was using this to motivate her.
“Alright, I’ll do my best to win it for you p>
Even if she didn’t win it, she’d just use her own money and pretend it was the prize.
But Grandma Evelyn seemed to read her mind. “Study hard. Don’t try to fool me when the time comes. I’ll be checking p>
Mira quickly replied, “What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person p>
She mirrored her grandmother’s stubborn posture.
Rachel chuckled from the side. The grandmother and granddaughter had the exact same attitude when they bickered.
After finally coaxing the old lady into a good mood, Mira headed for the study, but Rachel stopped her.
“Mira, I heard you’re going to be trading stocks again. Could you take some of my money and invest it for me?
I know there are risks. If I lose it, I lose it. You’re the one who gave me that money in the first place p>
“How did you know about that p>
“I heard it from Mason. He came over this afternoon asking for money p>
Mira remembered that Mason was
now the head chef at the branch
restaurant, managing the entire culinary team as a senior staff member. When Owen issued the order to pull funds, Mason definitely got the memo.
But the corporate staff only knew about the stock trading, not the Wall Street operation Even Harvey’s roommates hadn’t been told about the trip to the Javenaire Federation. They just knew Harvey and Mira were making moves in the market again.
The words ‘Wall Street’ were strictly confidential for now.
“Why didn’t you give it to him p>
“Shouldn’t I keep a little nest egg for my own retirement?
I told him I didn’t have any. Part of the money to buy his house was borrowed from
you anyway.
He wouldn’t listen to me and refused
to date that nice accountant girl.
Now he’s letting that waitress he’s letting
bewitch him until he cant see
straight. Giving him more money would be entirely useless p>
Rachel sighed in frustration.
“Just watch, every dime he makes is going to be drained by that little homewrecker.
And he still wants my money? Not a chance p>
Mira hadn’t realized Rachel had such a deep prejudice against Daisy.
“Rachel, isn’t that a bit harsh p>
“How is it harsh? You don’t know the half of it. Ever since they started dating, Mason
hasn’t given me a single cent.
He makes tens of thousands a month. Where is it all going p>
“Maybe he’s saving it up himself p>
“Saving? He’s blowing it all on that vixen! A designer bag today, luxury makeup tomorrow. She demands fine dining and expensive clothes.
Does she think she’s some billionaire heiress? At this rate, even if we had a
Bottomless Money Pit, it wouldn’t be enough to fund her lifestyle.
I can’t control them anymore, but they can forget about spending another dime of my money p>
Was it really that bad?
“Alright, Rachel, you’re right to save some money for yourself. I’ll find some time to
talk to Mason p>
