Chapter 190: Problem
Over £800 million with so many zeroes.
How could he not be astonished to see an account with so much cash.
That was real money, not just assets that were sometimes high in value but could not be converted into money.
With numbers like that, his fingers trembled slightly as he typed in the account number.
"Why did your expression become like that?" Anna looked at his face and smiled like she was holding back laughter.
His face seemed very funny in her eyes now.
Aldric had finished writing down his account number.
He took a deep breath as he returned her cell phone.
"Lady Anna, you are truly wealthy," he said absentmindedly.
All this time he had been with her and interacted with her as if they were intimate friends.
Although he knew she was very rich, he did not see firsthand what she owned, at most only her hotels and luxury cars.
Even if he saw her company, his reaction would not be like that.
This time what he saw was her account balance directly.
It was only in one bank account, she probably had several different bank accounts with equally large balances.
He still felt incredulous that the woman sitting by his side was that rich?
What do most people look for?
It is of course relationships with people who have wealth.
Even knowing the top brass of a company was already a high achievement, but he was so close to one of the big bosses.
"The elite few are richer than the entire population of the earth," Anna replied casually.
"Actually, it's just the money I get from my company's dividends," she added.
Aldric was speechless. If it was all just money from dividends, then how much money did her company use to run their business?
"Maybe you should check Jenny's bank account," the woman continued.
"The amount she makes is huge. I bet she has over 200 million pounds in savings. Besides, she rarely goes shopping. Most of her assets like apartments and cars are gifts from other people."
Aldric didn't actually have a guess at the amount of money Jenny had.
The figure mentioned by Anna was rather unimaginable to him. After all, Jenny was still too young and she had only been famous for about 2 years.
In such a short time, she actually already had that much money.
How could he catch up to her?
Even if he could make money on Magician Online, he didn't feel he could make that much.
He shook his head in response to Anna's words.
"A man wouldn't try to check his girlfriend's money. It's embarrassing," he said.
Anna chuckled at his words.
"True, even though Jenny loves you very much, you still need to be polite to her so that she is always comfortable with you," she replied.
Aldric looked at her strangely at that, feeling like she was endorsing his relationship with Jenny.
Her nature was unpredictable, as if she could change at any time.
Not long after, the car finally arrived not far from the University of London.
Anna stopped it in a rather quiet place as per Aldric's request.
"Lady Anna, thank you, we will meet again at Magician Online," he told her with a faint smile.
He did not wait for her response, immediately opened the car door beside him and got out.
However, when he closed the car door, he could still see Anna's figure because she lowered the windshield.
"I might be a little late because I still have some things to take care of, bye, Aldric," the woman said from inside her car as she started driving again.
She not only used one of her hands to wave to him but also gave him a very alluring smile while winking her left eye, something that made him feel a bit self-conscious.
He had to scratch his head.
"She's crazy," he said before stepping into his dormitory.
Although it wasn't too late, the dormitory was quiet.
Some of the residents were probably attending night classes while others had already entered Magician Online.
This made it easy for him to go to his dorm room as there were no distractions.
Only, before he arrived, he suddenly received a message and it was from Jenny.
(Honey, where are you, I'll pick you up!)
Aldric couldn't help but knit his brows at the message, feeling uncomfortable.
After all, it was not unusual for Jenny to seek him out at a time like this. She didn't even tell him directly why she was looking for him.
(I'm in the dormitory, did something happen?) be replied to her message right away.
(Okay, wait for me outside!)
Jenny didn't explain why, just asked him to wait.
This made him even more uncomfortable.
Of course, he went straight downstairs.
Even his steps became hurried.
Worst of all, when he arrived downstairs, it suddenly started raining. It was such a heavy rain that the pedestrians had to pull over.
"Ohh, Aldric!" Suddenly he heard his voice being called out.
It was of course Nolan's voice.
The chubby young man came from outside, running fast to avoid the rain.
It seemed that he had just returned from university.
Seeing him standing in front of the dormitory building made him show a suspicious look.
"Hey, Aldric, who are you waiting for here?" he asked with a strange smile.
He didn't need to ask to know that he was waiting for someone.
It was visible just by the way he was standing.
Of course, he must have also suspected that he was waiting for his girlfriend, Jenny. That's why he gave him a strange smile.
He approached him while continuing to smile.
"I guess I'll also be waiting for the person you're waiting for," ye said casually.
Aldric who was not in the mood for jokes chose not to respond.
He remained silent, occasionally looking at the road and occasionally looking at his cell phone.
It wasn't long before a black sports car pulled up in front of the dormitory.
Nolan's eyes lit up instantly.
He stared at the sports car without blinking at all.
Unfortunately, the glass was completely covered, making him unable to see at all.
While he continued to stare at the car, Aldric took a quick step, opened the passenger door of the car and got into it.
Even when the door was open, Nolan still couldn't see anything because his view was blocked by Aldric's figure.
He only realized that Aldric had moved when he got into the car.
This was because his eyes were too focused on the car.
"Wait!" He asked to wait, but unfortunately the car was already speeding away.
Of course, the driver didn't care about him.
"Damn it!" He ended up cursing with a helpless expression.
He just wanted to see Jenny up close, but he still failed even though the car stopped not far in front of him and she was actually picking up his friend who was really lucky to be her boyfriend.
After that, his mind went wild, something that was inevitable since Aldric and Jenny left at this time of night and heavy rain.
He couldn't believe they were just going for a walk considering they had a long-standing love affair, let alone in this weather.
This is the most convenient time for lovers to enjoy heaven on earth.
Meanwhile, in the dark car, Aldric is still a bit surprised to see Jenny.
She was still wearing the white shirt from this afternoon.
Her hair was loose and a bit messy, and most importantly, her whole body was wet. She seemed to have just been caught in the rain. Maybe it had rained earlier at her place so she had gotten caught in the rain when she wanted to get into the car.
Of course, this shows that she was in a hurry. If not, she could have at least taken an umbrella first.
"Jenny, tell me what happened?" Aldric immediately asked.
Seeing her condition where she looked cold, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
After all, she was the woman he had loved for a long time.
This he often denied but he did love her.
Who could not love her if they have had a deep relationship with her for a long time.
Even those who do not have a relationship with her love her too.
"My mother and younger brother were just kidnapped," the woman replied in a low voice.
Aldric took a deep breath at that.
This matter was worse than he had expected.
If they got kidnapped, then things were going to be difficult.
Of course, he was quite aware that reporting to the police was not necessarily a good solution either.
As a celebrity, the threat of kidnapping for Jenny or her family is definitely common.
They are more often the targets of kidnappings than business people because the latter group is more difficult to deal with as they have more knowledge in dealing with criminals.
And Jenny shouldn't have any experience of being kidnapped yet.
Although she was a rather lively and high-spirited woman, behind her forced calmness, she was clearly confused.
"Who kidnapped them and where did they go? And what did they ask for?" he asked.
Of course, they would have asked for a lot of money, but the kidnappers could have gotten a lot more out of a famous celebrity like Jenny.
They definitely weren't just asking for money.
"They haven't told me their demands yet," Jenny replied.
"But right now they're taking my mom and little brother across to France. Honey, what should I do?" she asked after answering.
Her voice began to tremble slightly, followed by her hands holding the steering wheel.
