Twenty million!

Now it was Marco and his brothers’ turn to be taken aback. They exchanged anxious glances, caught off guard by the demand. They had not anticipated that the other party would request such an astronomical sum—twenty million.

While they could technically afford it, they had no intention of parting with that amount. Twenty million was not a trivial sum, especially given their current circumstances. For Marco, the idea of coughing up twenty million was unsettling. Although he was better off than the average person, most of his wealth was tied up in assets, and his liquid savings barely reached tens of millions. Handing over twenty million at once? That was simply out of the question.

After a brief, silent exchange with his brothers, Marco finally spoke up. “That’s too much. We don’t have that kind of money. Sure, you may see us as wealthy, but things aren’t as they seem. Our wealth isn’t as substantial as you think.”

“You know how the Farrell family operates—daughters inherit everything. As sons, we don’t even carry the Farrell name, let alone have any claim to the family fortune. When our mother was alive, she privately supported us so we could live comfortably. But now that she’s gone, Kathryn has taken control of everything. The three of us receive barely anything.

“Yes, we still work for the Farrell Group, but our annual salaries are under a million. And soon, they’ll be even less. Liberty is now in charge—she views us as adversaries. Do you think she’ll allow us to stay in the company indefinitely? Sooner or later, we’ll be out, and when that happens, even our current salaries will vanish.

“We’re middle-aged. Finding new jobs won’t be easy. Countless college graduates are already struggling to find work—how much harder do you think it is for people like us? No job…

means no income. We’ll have to rely on our savings, which are not as substantial as people assume. We’re already tapping into them just to make ends meet.” Shiloh’s two older brothers nodded in agreement as Marco expressed his frustrations.

Noel added, “We have families to support—wives and children. Our kids are still in school, and education isn’t cheap. The competition is fierce, and it drains both our finances and energy. The financial pressure is immense.”

Sage remarked, “Mom only helped with our house down payments. Everything else—the mortgages, car loans, kids’ tuition, and even support for the elderly—falls on us. Sure, our monthly income exceeds the average, but so do our expenses. After covering everything, we’re left with barely three to five thousand at the end of the month.

“And that gets depleted when we go out with friends. Ever since Mom passed, our so-called friends don’t even invite us to dinner anymore because we share the bill. They think we’re stingy. It’s not that we don’t want to treat them; the truth is, we just can’t afford it.”

After a brief pause, Marco spoke again, this time more cautiously. “So… what’s the lowest you’re willing to accept? Two million? Honestly, that’s insufficient. A million per person won’t last long in the countryside. If we use it to start a small business, it won’t even cover the startup costs.”

They didn’t need twenty million, but they certainly weren’t settling for just two. With inflation, money lost its value too quickly. When they didn’t have a million, it felt like a fortune. But once they actually held it, they realized how little it could accomplish.

Building a modest three-story house in the countryside? That alone would consume an entire million—just for construction and basic expenses.
