My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Zara slowly pulled the car over to the roadside, making sure no one was around.

Then she said, "Fiona has applied to the bank to freeze our assets. I consulted a lawyer, and it looks like we can't get the funds your dad transferred to us, and we have to share in his 15 million debt." Felix was stunned.

It meant that he had no money now.

He wondered what he could do.noveldrama

He pondered, 'I'm Dad's only son. Am I really going to have to earn a living on my own?'

In a panic, Felix urged, "Mom, you have to think of something. We can't just sit here and do nothing!"

Zara slowly turned to Felix, a never-before-seen resolve and fierceness in her eyes. She said, "If I choose to leave your dad, will you think I'm cruel?"

Felix was momentarily taken aback.

Albert was a kind father and extremely good to Felix.

He would practically reach for the stars for Felix if he asked.

No matter how poorly Felix performed in academic study, Albert never once scolded him.

Honestly, even though Felix couldn't publicly return to the Rhodes family, he really loved Albert.

Hearing Zara's words all of a sudden left Felix completely at a loss for words.

Zara was quite agitated, suppressing her frustration and trying to speak patiently, "Felix, at this point, we can't be soft-hearted anymore.

"The lawyer says your dad is likely not getting out. Fiona went all out to report him herself. She's collected a lot of evidence. Even if he's released, he'll be totally broke." Hearing this, Felix suddenly clenched his hands into fists.

If Albert became a poor loser, Felix wouldn't be able to live the comfortable life he had been dreaming of.

To make matters worse, Felix would even be disdained by others because he was an illegitimate child.

In the past, people never dared to despise Felix's background because he was wealthy.

However, if Felix's support network were to collapse, resulting in a loss of wealth and influence, would those who once flattered him remain loyal?

The answer was pretty obvious.

Felix wasn't stupid. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly steeled himself and said, "Mom, I'll do whatever you say."

Zara ruffled his hair with relief and said, "That's right, good boy."

Felix managed a forceful smile. His mind was clearer now, and he asked with concern, "Mom, where are we going next? With our assets frozen and debts stacking up, are we also going to get caught?"

Felix definitely didn't want to get dragged down with Albert.

Zara chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've had plans in place.

"From the day I got together with Albert, I knew he wasn't a dependable man. So, all these years, I've been planning a way out for us.

"Albert previously transferred money

to me. Apart from the funds

allocated for your education, I have invested the remainder in real estate and gold bars, which are safely stored in a secure deposit box. In

Riverdale alone, I possess five

properties located in prime areas.

"Although our bank account has been frozen by the bank, they are not yet aware of these properties.

"I have already made arrangements

to sell them at a reduced price, and we have received over 10 million dollars from the sales. With this amount, we can certainly begin a new life."

Felix was utterly stunned.

He never knew Zara had properties and gold bars; he had never even seen them.

After being silent in shock for a long time, Felix said blankly, "Will this work? They'll eventually track it back to us."

Zara gave a mysterious smile and silently took two passports out from the car's drawer.

Felix understood immediately and asked, "Are we going abroad?"

Zara replied, "Yes, I got the passports ready a while back. I originally planned for us to go on a family vacation overseas during your holiday. Now it just comes in handy. "We'll head straight to the airport and leave the country to find Alan. As long as we don't return, even if the police track us down, they won't be able to do anything to us." While Albert was cooperating with the investigation in prison, Zara had already boarded a plane to another country with Felix.

With the cars and houses sold, there was no way to recover the company funds that Albert had misappropriated.

However, Albert himself had no understanding of how serious the situation was.

Lying on the single bed in his cell, Albert was still dreaming about being released, kicking Fiona out, and officially recognizing Felix as part of the family. Thinking about the happy life he would have with Zara and Felix made him smile broadly.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't take long for that smile to fade.
