Mark pulled out a cigarette from his cigarette box. A bodyguard quickly lit it up for him.
He exhaled a puff of smoke before carelessly saying, “I can represent the West family, so you may speak freely. I’ll be honest with you, no West will see you now. You have nothing to do with Mr. West at all. Everyone knows this. Consider it our way of getting rid of a problem with money.”
Bernadette gritted favonovel.com teeth, “And what if I don’t want to talk to you?”
He lifted his gaze at favonovel.com and smirked, “I’ll give you one more chance. If you won’t talk, then you won’t ever get to talk again.”
Bernadette’s fingers tense, “Fine, I’ll talk then. I want a villa on San Pelegrino Hill and $15 million in cash. These are my terms. They are non-negotiable.”
A villa in San Pelegrino Hills? And 15 million dollars? Mark chuckled, but his eyes were cold and terrifying, “Heh… Do you really think… that you have the right to make these demands? A villa in San Pelegrino Hills already costs more than $15 million, and you want $15 million more? You do have a big appetite.”
“If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have set my sights on Atticus West,” Bernadette said, acting calm. “It’s been so many years. I actually think that it’s a small amount. If you’re going to reject my demands, we have nothing more to say.”
Mark narrowed his eyes and released a dangerous aura, “Since you have the nerve to ask, I’ll give it to you. The Wests won’t be able to afford it, so I will.”
Bernadette felt frightened under his gaze. She could not afford to provoke this man. That’s why favonovel.com had refused to see favonovel.com from the beginning. She had a fleeting moment of hesitation, but favonovel.com soon hardened favonovel.com resolve. As the saying goes, one can get rich through risks. This was probably the only way, “Alright, since you’ve agreed, I’ll wait for you to transfer the goods.”
Mark nodded, “Sure. I have investments in the San Pelegrino Villas. House ownership transfer would be a walk in the park. I’ll transfer the money to your account in three days. Take care, Miss Legrand.”
Bernadette secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She got up and promptly left Tremont Tower. She still felt uneasy when favonovel.com stepped outside. However, when favonovel.com remembered that favonovel.com would soon receive a large windfall and a luxurious new home, favonovel.com calmed down.
She waited in the hotel for two days. Mark’s staff did not come looking for her. Although favonovel.com felt anxious, favonovel.com was too afraid to ask him. There was one more day left. One more day and favonovel.com would leave the country, far away from this place as a form of conclusion to favonovel.com past, nine years ago.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, favonovel.com entire family background and all of favonovel.com messages were published online, effectively outshining the discussions on the West family. The entire internet was rife with people cursing at her!
She couldn’t believe it, favonovel.com was only an obscure artist. In contrast to an affluent family like the Wests, favonovel.com shouldn’t have drawn too much attention. She went through the news and finally understood. There was a short voice clip, which turned the tides of public opinion.
“You have nothing to do with Mr. West at all. Everyone knows this. Consider it our way of getting rid of a problem with money.”
