His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 385
A Mercedes–Benz rolled to a stop in front of a villa with a great riverside view.
“Dahlia, I won’t go with you. I splashed tea on Madam Gloria yesterday. I bet she won’t be glad to see me.” Dustin chuckled.
“That’s fine. Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.” Dahlia gave him a firm nod and marched into the villa alone.
At that time, Gloria was having her tea leisurely, with Dakota seated right beside her, massaging her shoulders and legs with
great care.
“Madam, Dahlia asks to meet you.” An elderly lady came up and announced respectfully.
“Why is she here? Is she begging for mercy because she knows that she’s incapable?” Dakota sounded puzzled.
Gloria put her teacup on the table and replied calmly, “Let her in.”
“Yes, Madam.” The elderly servant shuffled away and led Dahlia into the villa.
“You have something to ask from me?” Gloria looked up at the sudden visitor.
“Madam Gloria, I have completed your request. Here’s a check for one billion dollars. Please take a look.” While speaking,
Dahlia handed Gloria the check.
“A check of one billion? Are you joking?” Dakota snatched the check away, but her expression fell when she saw the figure on it.
“T–there’s a billion here!”
“Let me have a look.” Gloria took the check and examined it. Her face scrunched up in displeasure. “Dahlia, it’s only been a day.
Where did you get the money from?”
Gloria had looked into them and knew that Dahlia’s family was incapable of getting a billion dollars worth of investment in such a
short timeframe. There was something fishy going on.
“You don’t have to be concerned about that. I have my connections.” Dahlia refused to offer a detailed explanation.
“Hmph! The Nicholson Family has always been upright and honest! If your money comes from a dirty source, it will not be
counted!” Gloria reminded her coldly.

“That’s right! Who knows? The money might have come from a robbery or theft! If you don’t offer a clear explanation, we won’t
let you off the hook!” Dakota echoed Gloria’s words.
“If you are dying to know, I shall tell you the truth. Dustin borrowed the money.” Dahlia did not bother to hide the fact from them.
“Dustin?” Dakota was first perplexed, followed by a look of disdain. “Oh, Dahlia, you have to make up a better lie than that! The
good–for–nothing, Dustin Rhys, can never get his hands on a billion’s worth of investments!”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. At the end of the day, we got the money you asked for,” Dahlia remarked calmly.
“Sure, you did. But it’s not enough,” Gloria suddenly said. After the initial shock from the check,

Florence was practically glowing with a level of enthusiasm unseen before.
“It’s alright. I’m not hungry.” Dustin shook his head. This was the first time he received such warm treatment from Florence in his
three years of marriage, and he wondered if that was the
power of money.
“Mom, you should go get the groceries. I need to go somewhere with Dustin, and we’ll come home for a meal later,” Dahlia
suddenly suggested.
“Where are you going?” Florence questioned.
“Of course, we’re on our way to make Madam Gloria fulfill her promise. We now have a billion dollars worth of investments. They
have nothing to say, even if they’re unwilling to make me the chairman!” Dahlia smiled brightly.
“Okay! Go now and have that chairman position secured!” Florence urged her daughter to leave with excitement.
Once Dahlia secured the position as the chairman of Cardinal Group, she would be one step closer to becoming the head of the
Nicholson Family, and the rest of them would be elevated to a higher status as a result too.

she quickly recovered and came up with a plan.
“Excuse me?” Dahlia raised a brow. “Madam Gloria, you said you wanted one billion in
investments. Why are you now saying the amount is not enough?”
“I said that indeed. But the one billion dollars that you gave me is not for the investments. It’s for compensation,” Gloria went on
with confidence.
“Dustin Rhys was rude enough to splash hot tea in my face. I was scalded because of that. Just think of the one billion as
compensation for my medical bills.”
“What?” Dahlia’s expression changed when she heard the unreasonable demand. One billion to make up for scalding her with
tea? That was too much!
“Madam Gloria, aren’t you asking for too much?” Frowning, Dahlia had expected Gloria to give her a difficult time, but the way
Gloria went about it was ridiculous and shameless.
“Too much?” Gloria scoffed. “That beast, Dustin Rhys, has scalded my face. If we go by the book, I should have broken his legs.
However, I will forgive him if I get that one billion as compensation.” “Yeah! One billion dollars in exchange for his legs. It’s a
sweet deal for him!” Dakota agreed. She had been racking her brains to break the promise, but she was surprised that Gloria
had come up with a solution in no time. Gloria was indeed a wily old fox!
