Chapter 145
Susan immediately stopped Natalie. “Hey, you don’t have to tell your Dad. Let me take care of this, all right?”
She then slapped Warren’s back twice as his ‘punishment’.
By hook or by crook, Susan must stop Natalie from reporting this incident to her dad.
Harrison knew Susan did not have any relatives anymore. If Harrison found out about Warren, he would for sure investigate her so-called cousin, and everyone would know their affair by then. Therefore, she needed to dissuade Natalie from telling her dad.
Natalie put down her phone and said, “All right. I’ll not tell Dad about it, but you have to do something for me.”
“What is it?’ Susan wondered.
Natalie glanced at her bag and said, “Well, my Dad and I might not have the best relationship, but as his daughter, I’ll still defend his honor. This, however, doesn’t mean I’m not open to negotiation.”
Susan understood her hint, and she responded with a snort. “Just say what you want from me.”
“My request is simple. I’ve recently started a small garment factory, but I don’t have enough money to buy machines, so…” Natalie made a universal money-counting gesture with her hand.
Susan snickered. “I’ll give you two hundred thousand.”
“Two hundred thousand?” Natalie acted as if she was deep in thought at first and then shook her head. “I’m afraid that can only cover the cost of two machines. I’m hoping to buy fifty units.”
“Fifty?” Susan was taken aback. “Please don’t say you want me to pay you five million.”
“Oh, is it too much?” Natalie blinked innocently and pointed at Warren. “If I’m not mistaken, you brought him here to buy a car. Bentley, I think? A Bentley with the most basic specifications would cost around three million. Looking at the smile on your face, I’m pretty sure Dad gave you quite a lot of money, right?”
Susan was so mad that words choked in her throat.
How did she find out, damn it!
“I can’t give you five million. How about one million?” Susan raised her index finger.
Natalie knitted her brows. “That’s too little. How about four million five hundred thousand?”
Susan instantly raised her voice, “Don’t push it, Natalie.”
“Hey, we’re negotiating, aren’t we? But it’s fine if you’re not keen to continue with this negotiation.” Natalie sighed and took out her phone again.
Susan’s eyes narrowed. She tried to calm herself by taking in a deep breath. “Three million. Take it or leave it.”
“Calm down, Aunt Susan. Why are you so mad? Three million might be a small sum, but I’ll take it.” Natalie took out a pen and wrote her bank account on a piece of paper. “Here you go. Thank you!”
Susan’s expression stiffened with dismay when she took over the paper.
Natalie responded with a grin, “All right, it’s time for me to check on my car now. Have a nice day!”
She waved them goodbye and left with a contented smile on her face.
Warren got anxious and asked, “So you’re just going to give her the money? How about my car?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“What car? You still owe me an explanation about the name card!” Susan gave him a murderous look.
It took Susan some time to convince Harrison to give her five million to invest in a beauty parlor, but two- thirds of the amount would soon go to Natalie instead. I’m just down on my luck these days!
You want my money? Sure. Come and get it if you dare!
Susan squeezed the paper into a ball as she watched Natalie walked out of the building.
After leaving the one-stop center, Natalie received a notification about a bank transfer. Wow, that’s fast.
She thought Susan would have intentionally delayed the payment. Great! This saves me the trouble of asking her for the money.
Natalie glanced through the notification and chucked her phone to one side.
Initially, Natalie thought of applying for a bank loan to buy the machines when the garment factory was ready to operate.
But luck was on her side when Susan appeared with her so-called cousin. Natalie was, of course, smart enough to seize the opportunity to blackmail this couple.
