Chapter 184 A Billion
Arielle was unperturbed by their slightly contorted faces.
Keeping her courtesy, Arielle walked into the room, nodded at both of them, and greeted, “Hi, Ms. Stone, how can I help you?”
Meanwhile, Susanne, who frowned a lot, began the conversation without beating around the bush. “I know what happened between you and my son. Tell me, how much do you need in order to stay away from my son?”
Arielle was startled by Susanne’s directness. Also, Susanne seemingly didn’t take into consideration the friendship between Arielle’s mom and her.
Since Susanne was so cold, Arielle decided to stop being polite to her.
She sat in front of Susanne, crossed her legs, and said coldly, “What happened between your son and me? Ms. Stone, I’m forgetful and not sure which incident it was. Was it the day I saved Vinson’s life on the uninhabited island? Or was it two days ago when I saved Vinson once again during the explosion at the building?”
Susanne stared at me in disbelief and asked, “What nonsense is that? When did you ever save my son?”
At the same time, Wendy couldn’t help but interrupt, “Miss, please don’t make lies that will be exposed within seconds.”
Slowly, Arielle looked up and glanced at Wendy nonchalantly.
Instantly, a shiver ran down Wendy’s spine. Given that Wendy’s family pampered her since she was born, she had never seen someone with that demeanor before.
All of a sudden, Wendy was rendered speechless.
After glancing at Wendy for a moment, Arielle ignored her and responded to Susanne, “Ms. Stone, if you doubt my words, why don’t you call Vinson to verify them? Please find out if the two incidents actually happened between us.”
Susanne gritted her teeth in anger.
Deep down, she felt that Arielle was witty and different from her late friend, who was quite reticent.
Since Susanne wanted to end the conversation with Arielle as soon as possible, she proposed, “Vinson is at a loss because you have charmed him. I’m sure he’ll cover up your lies for you. Name your price now, and don’t show your face before me ever again!”
A moment later, Susanne added, “You should know your place. My son is way out of your league. Besides, you’ll never have the chance to be married into the Nightshires. If you are smart enough, just grab your money and leave now. Otherwise, you won’t get even a penny!”
Arielle burst into laughter upon hearing Susanne’s offer.
My god, it’s so hard to communicate with this opinionated lady.
In that case…
“A billion,” Arielle proposed coldly.
“What?” Susanne was at a loss upon hearing it. She couldn’t believe that Arielle would make such a crazy offer.
A moment later, Arielle put on a faint smile and gazed at Susanne composedly. “Ms. Stone, don’t you think that your son is worth the price?”
With that, Susanne’s expression turned grim. She threw a question at Arielle furiously, “Why isn’t my son worth more than a billion?”
“Exactly,” Arielle tabbed the table twice as she continued, “In that case, we’ll settle it at one billion. After all, your son is worth a lot more than that.”
Susanne was stunned when she realized that Arielle used reverse psychology against her.
“You filthy woman…” Susanne stood up in anger and yelled, “You’re outrageously greedy! A waitress like you can’t even make a million in your life. How dare you ask for a billion?”
“Waitress?” Arielle raised her eyebrows and asked bewilderedly, “Since when have I become a waitress?”
As Susanne was startled as well, she turned to Wendy.
