Chapter 25: More money, more problems.
"I..." Fifi started with zeal.
"Close your mouth Fiona Rosemary Quinn." Grandpa Quinn barked for he was not finished.
With a dramatic eye roll towards her father, Fifi closed her mouth unwillingly.
Grandpa Quinn looked at Hades and his eyes softened. "I don’t know what is going on son but I need you to know that even if the company goes bankrupt, we have enough in savings to live on for the next one hundred years and more."
With a hand that trembled a little, he lifted three bank cards. "Most of the money that you have given me over the years has remained untouched. I have around one hundred ninety million in savings. That is more than enough money for us to live on for a long time."
"That is not the issue father." Fifi Quinn snapped.
Ignoring his aunt completely, Hades focused his attention on his grandfather. The old man had lines of worry etched on his forehead and they would stay there until he got some answers. Hades dreaded his grandfather slipping into despair, knowing it would deteriorate his health further.
His grandfather was the person he was closest to in the family. The old man was the one he usually turned to when he needed advice on personal and business matters. He was the one that instilled the importance of loyalty, patience and cunning in him.
Apart from his parents, his grandfather was the only one that could demand for an answer from him.
