Chapter 22 I’m Not Interested in The Kane Family’s Assets

Beulah had always been submissive and dared not even breathe too loudly before Old Mrs. Kane. But today, she had made such a request to Old Mrs. Kane on Meredith’s behalf. It made Myra feel uneasy again.

“Really?” Old Mrs. Kane asked skeptically. She didn’t look at Meredith as disdainfully as before. She didn’t expect this country bumpkin from the sticks to be so clever and score full marks.

It must be the Kane family’s good genes! A genius grandchild is the best proof of our excellent genes.

“Mr. Langley personally announced the results, and the entire Quantum Academy knows about it. I’ve decided to hold a banquet tomorrow! I’ll invite the entire school and inform the reporters as well!” Tom said excitedly.

When Old Mrs. Kane heard that Tom wanted to hold a banquet and invite the entire school, she felt a pang of despair. “How much will that cost?!”

The Kane family seemed to be in good financial standing on the surface. However, their financial situation was far from perfect in reality.

Hosting a small banquet would be more realistic. Still, Tom wanted to invite the entire Quantum Academy, which consisted of thousands of people. Moreover, they couldn’t just serve ordinary home- cooked dishes to guests from an academy of Quantum’s level.

Old Mrs. Kane roughly calculated the expenses and almost blacked out.

“We have to do it no matter how much it costs! This is the best opportunity to prove the Kane family is financially stable and cultured!” Tom said passionately. “I believe that after this grand feast, the Kane family can successfully become one of Northerndale’s top families. Then, we’ll naturally get more business. partners who want to work with us!”

He had already figured it out. He could mortgage the villa and borrow money from the bank to hold a grand banquet if they didn’t have enough money. He could also invite countless reporters to cover the

event.

After advertising Kane Group’s business, the Kane family would become more famous, and they could just wait for business partners to come knocking on their door. Then, they could earn the cost back in less than half a year and reclaim the house from the bank.

Old Mrs. Kane had spent the first half of her life working in the countryside. After the Kane family became wealthy, all she did was flaunt and boast about her family’s wealth all day. She didn’t know anything about running a company.

As she listened to Tom speak confidently, it seemed like they could immediately make a fortune. Since it was for the sake of the Kane family’s reputation, she was convinced.

“Since that’s the case, let’s do as you said.” Old Mrs. Kane nodded. She looked at Meredith. “You can have James‘ study room on one condition. You must change your last name back to Kane.

Old Mrs. Kane was scheming silently. All the glory of tomorrow’s banquet would only belong to the Kane family if Meredith changed her last name back to Kane instead of just being the Kane family’s adopted daughter.

response.

As Myra listened to them discuss how to organize a grand banquet for Meredith, she secretly felt that her position in the Kane family was in imminent danger. Morcover, Meredith’s question immediately made the alarm bells in Myra’s heart go off. This country bumpkin really wants to reclaim her position as the Kane family’s biological daughter!

Myra couldn’t bear the thought of going to that dilapidated house in the countryside. She would never set foot in such a slum again! She quietly snuck out to make a call while everyone was distracted.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Kane was taken aback by Meredith’s question in the living room.

“Haven’t I told you about this before? The Hale family has taken a fancy to Myra. You can’t be publicly acknowledged as the Kane family’s biological daughter!” Tom said, clearly annoyed.

The marriage of convenience between the two families was so that the Kane family could maintain a business relationship with the Hale family. The Kane family had orchestrated the arranged marriage for Myra, and Julian had coincidentally fallen in love with her.

If Meredith was revealed as the Kane family’s true biological daughter, the Hale family would never accept a country bumpkin who had grown up in the sticks as their daughter–in–law, Then, if Julian still insisted on marrying Myra, it would have nothing to do with the Kane family.

Therefore, Meredith’s identity couldn’t be disclosed before Kane Group’s business flourished!

“Well, it’s unnecessary for me to change my last name then. Regardless of my last name, I’m still the Kane family’s adopted daughter, right?” Meredith said calmly.

This old lady wants prestige for the Kane family but isn’t willing to take risks. How devious of her.

Tom and Old Mrs. Kane were briefly rendered speechless by Meredith.

They would be put at a disadvantage if they publicly acknowledged Meredith as their biological daughter. Hence, they were determined not to reveal this secret for the Kane family’s interests.

“That’s not true. No matter your last name, you’re still my precious daughter… Beulah tugged at Meredith’s clothes and whispered to her.

Meredith turned to look at Beulah. Her mother was the only person in the entire Kane family who cared for her. She hadn’t experienced a mother’s love for over a decade and didn’t know how to respond. She simply nodded faintly.

Without waiting for Old Mrs. Kane’s approval, Beulah boldly redecorated and rearranged James‘ study room on the third floor for Meredith.

When James returned home, he found that Meredith had taken over his study room. He angrily pushed. away the cushions in Beulah’s hands.

“No way! This is my study room. I don’t want the country bumpkin to use this room!” he shouted. He turned to Old Mrs. Kane as he threw a tantrum. Grandma, how can you give her my study room?! This country bumpkin immediately tried to take my study room from me after coming here. She’ll try to take over the Kane family’s assets from me someday! I won’t let her have it!”

This was a cher king decla

Chapter 22 I’m Not Interested in The Kane Family’s Assets.

Although Old Mrs. Kane cared about the Kane family’s reputation, she favored the men in the family over women! She only wanted the Kane men to inherit the family’s assets. It couldn’t possibly end up in the hands of the women!

Meredith took over James‘ study after coming here. Will she also try to take over the Kane family’s assets in the future?! Old Mrs. Kane’s expression immediately changed, and she looked at Meredith warily.

Meredith was dumbstruck. “Are the Kane family’s assets worth at least a billion?” she asked indifferently, but it sounded strangely insulting.

One billion?!

Even truly affluent families might not possess that many assets, let alone the Kane family, who were merely well–off.

“What do you mean?!” Old Mrs. Kane’s expression darkened. The Kane family’s assets are only worth tens of millions, but it’s more than this country bumpkin could ever earn in her life!

“You country bumpkin. Do you even know how many zeros are in a billion? You’re so greedy! Are you really here to seize the family fortune from me? Grandma, get rid of her at once!” James bellowed stubbornly at Old Mrs. Kane.

Meredith was dumbfounded.

Beulah sensed something was amiss and feared that Old Mrs. Kane would again favor James and refuse to let Meredith use the room, so she quickly intervened.

“Jay, who told you that Merry wants to take the family fortune from you?” She crouched down and asked. James.

James was only seven years old. As mischievous and naughty as he was, he couldn’t have come up with such thoughts on his own. Sure enough, James started stuttering. “No… No one told me anything! I’m not a fool.”

Meredith glanced at him. His clumsy denial had unintentionally revealed the truth. Only one person in the family could have manipulated her foolish little brother.

“I’m not interested in the Kane family’s meager assets. Don’t botherme unless it’s important.” After that. she slammed the door shut with a bang.

Old Mrs. Kane’s expression grew even darker.

If not for the Kane family’s reputation and the banquet we’re preparing for tomorrow, I wouldn’t allow this unruly girl to stay on the third floor! When she comes of age, I’ll sell her off and use the money to pay for the Kane family’s living expenses!
