"Don't worry, everything is fine." Richard Steele came back to his senses, saw Lila Carter in a daze, and patted her hands comfortingly.
Lila Carter was still thinking about this matter until she lay down on the bed. She was a little uneasy. She fell asleep in a daze and woke up suddenly.
"By the way, system, help me check Richard Steele's current financial situation."
She took it for granted that since Richard Steele was the head of the Xi family, he should enjoy and control all the resources of the Xi family.
But now Evelyn Steele is back, and this is always a variable, and she can't take it lightly.
The system's cold mechanical voice was beside my ears: "This is personal privacy, and it will cost 500 points. Do you confirm the deduction?"
Points will be deducted again! Lila Carter looked at her remaining few points and felt a little pain. "...Forget it, no need."
It's not like she can't find out about this kind of thing herself, so it's better for her to save the points and use them in more useful ways.
Evelyn Steele knew more about Richard Steele's assets than Lila Carter did.
The next morning, a report on the personal assets of her, Matthew Steele and Richard Steele was sent to her email.
I have to say that their mother was really prophetic and left enough escape routes for them.
The small company run by Richard Steele has been losing money for years and still relies on several companies under Evelyn Steele for financial support. If the two companies are really separated, Richard Steele will probably go bankrupt due to insufficient assets.
As for his salary as chairman, since he was originally paid in shares, his actual salary was only a symbolic 1 yuan.
Therefore, all the money Richard Steele spent over the years was from her and Matthew Steele.
Evelyn Steele was quite surprised when she saw the result.
What on earth has Richard Steele done in the past few years? He has turned a good company into this mess. It would have been better for him to accept her advice and hand it over to professional managers. At least it would be a sure win.
Evelyn Steele even felt that Richard Steele was not worth his $1 salary.
Since it was agreed that Richard Steele would pay with his own money, her first priority was to cut off funding for Richard Steele.
It would be unfair to Richard Steele if he couldn't get the fame and benefits and she was the one who had to pay and work for it.
I just hope Richard Steele will keep his word and not regret it later.

"Lila!" The next morning, Sophia James came back from the Academic Affairs Building and waved excitedly to Lila Carter.
"You know, you took just over ten minutes to complete a perfect score on the math test yesterday, which really shocked the math teachers! They even said they would recommend you to represent our school in the national math, physics and chemistry competition! Tell me, have you been hiding your abilities before, right?"
Lila Carter was stunned for a moment, then quickly a faint smile appeared on her face.
"It's just a small test in class, it's nothing."
This can be considered a pleasant surprise. At least the points I earned yesterday were not wasted.
"You call this nothing? Oh my god, you are too Versailles!" Sophia James was very excited. Everyone admires the strong, and Lila Carter quietly revealed her true colors time and again, proving that she is the boss among the bosses.
"You can play the piano, chess, calligraphy, and study hard. Is there anything you can't do? Oh, and you can also make Chinese medicine pills!"
Sophia James feels honored to have such an amazing friend.
Lila Carter was very popular in her sophomore year, and her good classmates all came to congratulate her.
If people are more careful, they will find that most of these people come from well-off families, or their parents or family members work in state-owned institutions.
Even those who don't have a good family background have specific uses, such as Emily Roberts, the beauty of Class 1, Grade 2.
"By the way, what about Evelyn Steele, the sickly girl from the Xi family? Doesn't she need to study?" a boy suddenly asked.
Most of these people attended Lila Carter's birthday party that day. Being kicked out that day made these young people from extraordinary backgrounds feel their self-esteem was hurt.
I was originally waiting for the Xi family to apologize for their rude behavior, but in the end, I waited in vain.
The Xi family didn't make any statement at all!
This is not consistent with Richard Steele's usual character. As the head of the family who values his reputation the most, how could he allow his daughter to behave in such a disrespectful manner?
"I heard that she didn't even finish junior high school. Will she be assigned to the junior high school this time?" Sophia James gloated. "That would be too funny. She's older than us. She must be 18 years old, but she's going to junior high school..."
Lila Carter curled her fingers slightly but said nothing.
"I'm not in junior high school. I'm in the rocket class of senior year." Luo Wanrong rolled her eyes. Lila Carter went to the rocket class of senior year to find Jason Bennett at noon. How could she not know about this?
Knowing it but not clarifying it, you are really a green tea.
Lila Carter came back to her senses and pursed her lips slightly: "Sister Evelyn did go to the senior rocket class, and my brother went too."
"Your brother?" Sophia James almost thought she was talking about Logan Carter, but quickly realized, "You mean Matthew Steele went to the rocket class?!"
"This is the Yan family's move." The boy who spoke earlier couldn't help but sneer, "It's really the same robber style as always. I didn't expect that they would even snatch the place in the rocket class. These capitalists are too disgusting!"
Shengyang High School is an aristocratic high school. There are too many children from wealthy families in the school, so there is room for maneuver in the class division.
The existence of the Rocket Class is the most fair and just thing in the entire Shengyang High School. It is a high-quality resource that all students in the school are scrambling to get.
As a result, the Yan family was so unethical that they directly placed two pieces of trash in there?
Mu Yuyang was extremely angry.
He has always been proud of being a top student in the Rocket Class, and naturally would not allow others to tarnish his status with dirty money.
Lila Carter frowned slightly, "Yuyang, don't say that, they are my brother and sister."
Mu Yuyang thought she was too kind: "What do you mean your sister? The Xi family took you in and said they wanted to adopt you, but there has been no response until now. Are they just taking you for a walk? Or is Evelyn Steele from the Xi family so jealous that she is making a scene and disagreeing?"
Lila Carter was speechless immediately, with a hint of confusion in her expression.
Mu Yuyang saw all of this and became even angrier, "Oh, I said that sick guy would come back to cause trouble, and it turned out to be true."
Damn it, he's almost dying, but he's still messing around. No wonder he won't live long after getting cancer.
He looked at Lila Carter's depressed mood and felt distressed.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well. Lila Carter has always wanted to have a complete family. Richard Steele gave her fatherly love, so she truly regarded Richard Steele as her father.
Lila Carter played an indispensable role in helping Richard Steele gradually recover from his grief and cheer up.
The return of Evelyn Steele shattered all the good things and was about to drag the Xi family into the abyss again.
He didn't mind taking people to "say hello" to Evelyn Steele, just as a form of hospice care for her, so that she would remember to be a good person after her death so that she could live longer in the next life.
