"At least…at least three million!" After thinking for a while, Lucy stretched out three fingers."Okay, three million it is!" Theo then pounced on her and began kissing her.Lucy, however, continued to struggle as she said, "No, not here. Let's go someplace else. It's not the right place to do that sort of thing, and you need to do as you said earlier and give me the money!"By then, Theo had completely lost his sanity and could no longer wait until they went back to the hotel. After looking around, he pointed to a bamboo forest not far away and said, "Let's do it there. We've agreed with each other, and once we're done here, you'll have to stay overnight at the hotel and keep me company!"Lucy did not expect that pervert would be so demanding. However, she finally nodded when she thought about the three million dollars. "Okay. But you need to transfer the money to me before we do anything.""Don't worry. This is just a small sum of money to me!" Theo stepped forward and carried L
"Yeah! Why don't you let Severin have a look? He's an amazing doctor. The Zelankos' old madam was wheelchair-bound for more than ten years, but now she's up and about! She even visited us today!" Felicia immediately said to Warren.Warren did not expect them to be so enthusiastic about it, so he could only smile awkwardly in refusal. "That won't be necessary. I have the medication, and I expect it to be fine in a couple of days!"Severin smiled when he heard that. "Come on, everyone, let's enjoy the wine! Any doctor can handle these minor illnesses, and he already has the medicine for it too. It'll only be redundant if I check it for him!"Warren raised his wine glass and said to everyone, "Mister Severin is right! Let's have a toast!"Everyone soon raised a toast. After Warren put down his glass, he asked, "By the way, I heard that Mister Severin is going to make it up to Miss Diane for their wedding. When will that be, I wonder? I'd love to come and raise a glass to the two of yo
"I'll be there if time permits, Mister Severin!" Valerian felt at a loss when Severin raised a glass to him, and he could only respond with an awkward smile.However, Diane noticed that subtle expression, and she could tell that something was amiss.She could not wrap her head around why someone like Valerian would look so awkward after being toasted by Severin. It could be likened to when a subordinate felt flustered when their superior raised a toast to him. However, Valerian was a war chief, and his superior would have been one of the war gods. Severin could not have been one of those four because their identities were known to the world after the live broadcast of them receiving their award for their meritorious service. The whole nation would have seen them on screen.In the end, Diane just shook her head and chastised herself for thinking too much. Perhaps Valerian was simply a socially-awkward hothead who loves fighting, which could explain why he seems a little unaccustomed
"Huge benefits?" Diane's eyes lit up when she heard that. She immediately said to Severin, "Then you need to go! If you miss out on something good, you might regret it for the rest of your life!"Selene, who was sitting in the back, asked her father innocently, "Come back soon, okay Dad? Will you bring me a present after you come back?"Severin's heart felt warm all of a sudden and he could not help but say to his cute little daughter. "Don't worry, Selene. I'll bring you lots of presents when I come back!""Yay! Dad's buying presents for me!" Selene bounced excitedly in the car."Haha, such an adorable little girl!" Maurice carried his granddaughter up and smiled happily as he said to her, "I'm going fishing tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?""Okay! I want to see Grandpa fish! Then…will we be eating fish for dinner tomorrow?" Selene looked at Maurice with her big eyes."Haha, of course we will! You know how good I am at fishing!" Maurice laughed again.…At noon the ne
Before long, Diane reached the company and entered through the main door. Wendy and Lillie followed her until she reached her office."Miss Diane! Our counterpart's boss is already waiting for you in the office!" Diane's secretary came forward and said to her as soon as she arrived."Okay!" Diane did not expect them to be there that early, so she smiled slightly and said to the two bodyguards, "Wendy, Lillie, you may sit and rest at the sofa over there. Don't worry about me. This is my office, after all, so my safety is guaranteed. I'll still call you if anything happens though!"Wendy and Lillie nodded before walking over to sit on the sofa.After thinking for a while, Diane said to her secretary, "Could you make them each a cup of coffee please?" She then walked to her office, opened the door, and went in. When she entered, she discovered that the person heading the negotiations was actually a young man in his 20s, and he seemed a little handsome at first glance."Miss Diane, yo
Diane was fuming, and her chest was heaving up and down. She never once thought that the other party would have that sort of idea, and yet his disgusting offer had proven that she had completely misjudged him!There was a bit of surprise in Quintus's expression because he believed that all women loved money, or at least, all the women he met in the past. However, he soon realized that the Shanahans were already excelling in their progress, with more and more companies willing to sign contracts with them with every passing day.However, the key was that even if such contracts were signed, the money earned by the Shanahan Corporation would go to the Shanahans, and the amount that would end up in Diane's pockets was bound to be significantly less. At most, Diane would only get a salary increase, or perhaps a year-end bonus.When he came to realize that, he decided that he simply wanted to retaliate against Severin and therefore offered directly, "Hehe, I understand now. You won't get t
"Not even with thirty million on offer?" Quintus was shocked because he believed that not a single woman in the world would say no to money. Those who turned their noses up at it generally did so because the amount was too low.After giving it some thought, he finally said, "I really like you, Miss Diane, and I want you very much. How does forty-five million sound then?""I told you to leave!" Diane's expression was as cold as before and she warned him, "Get out now, or else I'll call my bodyguards!"Quintus frowned when he heard that and an idea soon popped up in his mind. Since being nice to her was not working, perhaps he could try to be a little harsher to her and put her between a rock and a hard place. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he no longer spoke politely to her anymore. Instead, he began threatening her. "Haha, do you know what kind of family the Novaks are? We're a second-tier upper-class family from Riverson, and I'm the son to the head of the family!
Quintus never imagined that she would rebuff all his approaches and even threaten him with a war chief in Valerian. He was initially a little taken aback, but he quickly came to his senses and smirked icily. "Haha, they always say that women with big breasts have pea brains. I didn't expect you to be so 'smart' as to use Mister Valerian's name to threaten me. It's a shame I'm not an idiot though!""Do you think I’m lying?" Diane asked with a frown.Quintus smiled and replied, "Of course! Valerian visited your home once. Do you honestly think he'll help you just because of that? Who do you think you are? The Shanahans are like a grain of sand to them. Why would he go against us for the sake of the Shanahans?"He then paused for a moment before continuing, "The reason he visited your house is probably because he thinks you and your sister are pretty. That's the only reason why he accepted your invitation. Now that I think about it, did you and your sister sleep with him last night? Af
