Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 473

Nathan forced a smile. Seeing the sadness in Wendy’s eyes, he felt a surge of fury. This damn woman, was she really going to leave him with nothing after all this?

He had to get at least eight or nine billion out of this to make all his years of effort worthwhile.

He already had control of his second son’s company and assets.

His eldest son's were now in his hands too.

Colin and Benson didn’t have companies, just shares. Useless.

The Don family had so many assets. Selling just one building would bring in not just two hundred million, but several billion.

“Wendy, you… you’re not staying home tonight either?” Nathan suddenly realized she hadn’t slept at home in a long time.

Wendy shook her head. “I have to work overtime at the office. We have to fill this two-hundred-million-dollar hole as soon as possible. If we can’t, the company’s cash flow will be severed.

“Our buildings and properties aren't in the best locations. I’ve already put them on the market, but who knows if they’ll sell?”

With that, Wendy left.

Colin was speechless.

Something felt very wrong.

He’d only been gone for half a year, and the family was going bankrupt?

“Dad, doesn’t your company have profits every month? Give some to Mom to help her through this. I can’t live without my allowance! How about this, you can give me two hundred thousand a month.”

At these words, Nathan flew into a rage, grabbing a cushion from the sofa and hurling it at him.

“You useless piece of trash!” he roared at Colin. “You’re a grown man still mooching off your parents! Can’t you go out and earn your own money? Do you have any idea how worthless you and your brothers are?”

His grandfather had been dead for years. Why was he standing on the staircase, watching him?

“Ah! Ah!” Nathan screamed in terror.

The grandmother and Colin jumped, startled by his shout.

“Dad, what’s wrong?”

“What is it?”

They both spoke at once.

Nathan pointed a trembling finger at his grandfather on the stairs. “Mother,” he stammered, “Grandpa… he must be out of money in the underworld. Quick, burn some offerings for him! Tell him to stop haunting me! He’s standing right there, and it’s terrifying! He was always most afraid of you when he was alive. Make him go away!”

The grandmother stared at her son’s terrified face, a jolt of fear running through her as well.
