My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2120

The meeting ended amidst the chaos.

…

Returning to his mansion, Tomaz sat alone on the couch, drinking sullenly. He glanced at the recent financial reports, the downward curve hitting him hard.

Just then, his daughter, who was studying abroad in Yerusia, messaged him again. It was no surprise that she was asking for money. She had gotten used to spending extravagantly, and he had been sending her tens of thousands every week.

However, Tomaz's finances were now too tight, and he only managed to transfer 5,000 this time. No sooner had the money been sent than his daughter's call came through.

"What's wrong?" the loving father answered with his usual doting tone, his expression indulgent.

His daughter did not throw a fit but sweetly pleaded, "Daddy, I recently found a really beautiful bag, but the money you sent isn't enough. Could you send me some more?"

Tomaz wanted to refuse. He felt a pang of impulsiveness like when he bad-mouthed Theo in public. However, he recalled how much he owed his daughter.

She had lost her mother at a young age, and his excessive pampering felt like his way of making amends. He sat up straight, adjusted his mood, and fixed a smile as he resumed his doting, "How much, darling?"

"Not much, just 50,000. You can convert it to the local currency and send it over, Daddy."

"Okay, sweetheart. How have you been lately?" Like any concerned parent, Tomaz began his endless litany of questions.

"How are your studies going? Are you sleeping well—" he said midway only for the call to cut off.

The beeps echoed along with his heartbeat, and in that moment, his eyes grew moist. Tomaz stood there, holding the phone for a long time. Finally, he threw it down onto the couch.
