Chapter 17
Three years ago, let alone for 50 million dollars, even for 500 thousand dollars, they would have tried every
means to get her to marry Heriberto.
However, there was a huge amount of assets under Marie's nthat her parents didn’t know about. Marie had
hidden it very well.
It was not until a month before her death that Marie transferred this huge asset to Iris’s name.
This huge asset was all the properties on an entire pedestrian street in the most prosperous area of Ardiham.
This pedestrian street was the center of the whole Ardiham. The annual rent collection alone reached 800 million
dol- lars and was still growing every year.
This huge asset was passed down from Marie's mother to Marie. Marie never mentioned it to anyone.
When Marie married into the Aguilera family back then, they were booming, even more so than the current Hale
fam- ily.
But Iris’s grandpa and father weren't business-minded. Slowly, the Aguilera family fell apart and went bankrupt.
Marie could have saved the Aguilera family with that prreal estate on the pedestrian street.
Iris’s parents were ungrateful and greedy. They were the black sheep of the family. Marie had to endure the pain
of seeing the Aguilera family decline step by step. She kept the existence of this street a secret from them.
Fortunately, Marie passed away before the Aguilera family went broke. So she didn’t have to witness the
heartbroken
scene.
Although this street was now Iris’s personal asset, she didn’t manage it herself. Instead, she handed it over to
profes- sional managers.

The huge incgenerated by this street every year was used for various investments.
Money made more money. Iris didn’t know exactly how much she had.
It was a huge amount.
But she never touched the money Marie set aside for charity. It was still donated every year.
Now, Iris changed her mindset.
Since Marie died, Iris had been busy studying or trying to please the Hale family.
Now, it was tfor her to be herself.

Coming out of the inpatient building, Iris took out her phone and made a call.
“Merlin.” The call was quickly connected, and Iris greeted sweetly.
“Iris, how have you been recently?” Merlin asked lovingly on the other end.
He saw the reports about Heriberto and Melanie these days.

He was worried about Iris. Yet, thinking that Iris had enough money to leave Heriberto and live well, he didn’t
take the initiative to call her.
When Marie was still alive, Merlin had been helping to manage the pedestrian street.
After Marie passed away, Iris trusted him and treated him like a family member. Naturally, he felt obliged to help
manage everything on the pedestrian street, making Iris’s assets grow crazily every year.

“Yes.” Iris nodded. “I want to set up a charity foundation specifically to help children with tumor diseases. Can

“No problem.” Merlin was very happy. “How much do you plan to donate every year to this charity foundation?”
Iris thought for a moment. “No upper limit. As long as the applicants meet our conditions.”
