Chapter 109 Top Family Heir
The young woman, around twenty–two or twenty–three, stood tall with a striking figure. Her delicate features were framed by a round face, making her both beautiful and endearing
As Barlyn stepped down from the truck, she rolled her eyes dramatically.
“Mr. Radcliffe, what’s thas all about? You were so secretive on the phone and wanted me to find a warehouse for a truck? Where’s your fancy car? Planning to play poor with me?”
She raised an eyebrow, adding with a hint of amusement, “Just so you know, I’m not lending you any money. If Ms. Don Radcliffe finds out I did, I’m toast. So, if you’re here for a loan, forget it.”
Barbyn was immediately put on the defensive
He looked exasperated and retorted, “Austin, do you think I came all the way here just to ask for money? I have plenty of my
Austin shot him a scornful glance. “Oh, really? If you had money, would you be in Mayby City? Save the act. I know you’ve had your credit card cut off by Ms. Domia Radcliffe.”
Barlyn flushed with embarrassment.
Rather than argue, he turned to Osborne and said, “Osborne, let me introduce you. This is Austin, the heir to the Montague family. She’s a bit sharp–tongued, but she’s been a friend of mine since childhood.”
Then he addressed Austin, “Austin, this is Osborne Augustine, my brother from another mother. Just call him Osborne.”
Both Osborne and Austin were taken aback
Osborne was surprised to learn that this round–faced girl was indeed an heir to the Montague family.
It was one of the most formidable families in Mayby City, which surpassed the Ashford family:
The Montague family dominated shipping with a sprawling dock, dozens of massive freighters, and a fleet of luxury cruise ships worth billions.
Before Osborne’s divorce from Ophelia, he often heard members of the Caldwell family mention the Montague family and each time, their tone was filled with utmost respect and envy.
Austin was astonished by Barlyn’s casual tone and close relationship with Osborne.
She thought to herself, “Who is Barlyn? He’s from an old family too, not the heir but still on par with me, an heir to a top–tier family
And yet, he treats Osborne like a lifelong friend?
Osborne must be one of those young masters from some big famibes.”
She smiled, extending her hand to Osborne, “Hello, Osborne I’m Austin Montague Just call me Austin”
Osborne smiled, saying. “Nice to meet you, Austin”
Harlyn said, opening the truck door with a smug grin. “Alright, let’s get down to business
“Austur check this out.”
Austur’s curiosity poqued, she walked to the back of the truck and gasped.

“You… you didn’t rob a bank, did you?”
Barlyn chuckled triumphantly, “No, I’m not that stupid. We only rob a gang leader. There’s roughly 300 to 400 million in cash. here, plus valuables of equivalent worth. I need you to sort this out, assess its value, and then launder it. The money should be transferred directly to Osborne’s account.
“I’m worried that if it goes into my account, my mom might just seize it.”
Austin relaxed slightly.
“Oh, it’s just gang money. As long as it’s not from a bank heist, that’s fine. I’ll get someone to sort and appraise it and then transfer the funds to you once it’s all sorted.
“Just to be clear, the fee for laundering this amount is ten percent, which is a favor. Normally, it would be thirty percent. The reduced rate is because I’ll have the cooperative gang handle it. Can’t have them working for nothing ”
Hearing the ten percent fee, Barlyn grimaced.
Just as Barlyn was about to speak, Osborne pulled him back
With a friendly grin, Osborne said, “No problem at all! Thanks a lot, Austin. Once everything is settled, we’ll take you out for a grand meal and show our appreciation Without you, we’d have been
stuck with this dirty money.
Austin smiled at the praise.
She shot a sharp look at Barlyn. “See how well Osborne handles people? And look at you…” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Barlyn rolled his eyes in response.
“What’s your point?”
“You’re just a fool!” Austin snapped back.
The two began bickering, their playful argument filled with sharp jabs and laughter. Meanwhile, a group of people arrived to start sorting and valuing the cash and valuables from the truck.
It took a solid three hours for them to complete the meticulous inventory.
The cash totaled 350 million.
The valuables were worth another 400 million.
So, Davy’s assets amounted to 750 million – far exceeding the liquidity of most top families.
As per their agreement, Osborne and Barlyn would split the proceeds, with a total of around 680 million.
Osborne’s share was 70%, about 480 million, while Barlyn would get 30%, exactly 200 million
Both Osborne and Barlyn were pleased with the outcome, though they were disappointed that they wouldn’t see the money for
a while
“Hey, Osborne, Austin, how about we go out for a drink to celebrate?” Barlyn suggested eagerly.
Austin rolled her eyes “You two made a profit, but I didn’t. What’s there to celebrate? Seems pointless”
Osome smiled at her words, saying, “Barlyn, Austin, are you interested in making another big score?
