After Mei Yun released her, Wang Yue’s throat was burning, and she coughed several times before finally recovering.

“Where’s the money?” Mei Yun clenched his fists with a creaking sound as he roared again.

Wang Yue knew there was no escaping from this situation. The only way to calm Mei Yun’s anger was to give him all the money.

But she had already given three million to the grade director. Where could she find so much money now?

Seeing her silent, Mei Yun’s patience was completely exhausted. He reached into her pockets.

Startled, Wang Yue instinctively tried to resist by punching and kicking.

Unprepared, Mei Yun was kicked in the arm, causing him to wince in pain. Furious, he firmly grabbed her ankle. “Are you crazy? How dare you attack me?”

Seeing the ruthless look in Mei Yun’s bloodshot eyes, Wang Yue felt fear creeping in. Her foot trembled as she begged hoarsely, “Honey, please forgive me this time. i promise I didn’t waste the money. 1 used it as startup capital for the shops! Once I make money, I’ll buy back the necklace!”

“Do you think i’ll believe that?” Mei Yun angrily retorted, “Your few shops only need a few hundred thousand at most. The receipt records five million! Where’s the money?”

“The money… the money…” Wang Yue trembled, struggling to sit up. Her terrified eyes darted around, but no matter how hard she tried to think, her mind was a blur, and she had lost the ability to reason.

“I… 1 don’t know.” Her lips turned pale with fear.

Mei Yun’s grip on her ankle tightened suddenly, causing her to scream in pain.

Her long hair was disheveled, and a bruise remained on her neck, showing no signs of the former dignified Madam Mei. She had become a crazed woman, completely losing all dignity.

Seeing her like this, Mei Yun didn’t expect her to say anything. He began to search her pockets, and indeed, he found a bank card in her jacket pocket.

He handed the card to Zhao Yan, who was standing nearby, and ordered, “Check and retrieve all the transaction details from this card.”

“Yes,” Zhao Yan acknowledged and went to execute the order.

Soon, they had results.

Zhao Yan returned the bank card and handed Mei Yun a statement of the account’s financial transactions. “Mr. Mei, today, Madam only deposited two million into the bank card. The whereabouts of the remaining three million are unknown.”

Wang Yue stared blankly at the statement, her eyes devoid of any response.

Mei Mu felt half her heart turn cold upon hearing this.

Three million.

That was no small sum.

If her mother couldn’t explain where the money went, they, the mother and daughter, would probably face dire consequences.

Thinking this, Mei Mu gritted her teeth and knelt down to support her mother’s shoulders, pleading, “Mom, why don’t you just give the three million back to Dad? If your shops need money, Dad won’t ignore it.”

As she spoke, she timidly glanced at Mei Yun, making sure that he hadn’t redirected his anger towards her. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and continued to persuade, “Mom, Dad was just anxious for a moment. You should give the money back to him and let him buy the necklace again.”

Wang Yue looked at her daughter, shocked. She never expected that her daughter, whom she had always tried her best to protect, would say such words after witnessing Mei Yun’s violent behavior towards her. Disappointed, she shook her head repeatedly, “Mumu, do you even know what you’re saying? Are you trying to kill me?”

This left Mei Mu completely stunned.

She thought her mother was planning to hide the money for future use. But now, judging from her mother’s tone, it seemed like she had already spent the three million?

What could possibly make her mother spend such a huge sum of money?

Mei Mu couldn’t comprehend the reason behind it. All she knew was that if her mother didn’t hand in the money now, her father would be completely furious with them.

Thinking of this, Mei Mu knelt in front of Mei Yun and pleaded, “Dad, Mom knows she was wrong this time, but she’s scared now and probably can’t remember where the money went. Maybe it’s better if 1 take her back to the room to rest. Once she’s calmed down a bit, she’ll definitely return the money to you!”

Mei Yun snorted coldly but controlled his temper from erupting again.

After all, Mei Mu was his daughter, and he couldn’t bear to hurt her.

Still, he sternly warned, “By tomorrow, at the latest, I want to see the full five million. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

This was his bottom line. He absolutely wouldn’t allow his wife to conceal anything from him, the head of the family!

Hearing this, Mei Mu finally relaxed a bit, but her whole body was still drenched in cold sweat. She felt a sense of powerlessness after escaping the calamity.

However, before she could catch her breath, Mei Shu’s slow and surprised voice came from the living room again.

“Hey, Dad, don’t be angry first.. Let me tell you some good news! Aunt Wang agreed to donate a building to our school! She has already contributed three million!”
