Chapter 840
"You were saying."
What could possibly be more important right now than her being hurt?
"Look into the connection between the Reyes family on Lone Island and my family for me."
Flora had always sensed something was off about Karter's attitude towards her, and after the recent events, she was even more convinced.
Raul and Henrik might not tell her, but she would find out on her own.
Crimson agreed right away but couldn't help asking, worriedly, "Your hand, is it really okay?"
Nothing could happen to Flora's hand.
"I've got it under control."
Crimson felt reassured by her words and relaxed, then, as if remembering something juicy, said, "Oh, Flora darling, I've got some hot news for you."
She paused for effect, her smile a bit mischievous, "The White family has come crawling to us."
"Really?" Flora raised an eyebrow.
Crimson sneered, "That wretch Abbey is in a bad way, still lying in a hospital bed, her fate uncertain. Tommy sent a desperate plea to Club 257, asking for Féraphine to personally come and treat her." They would never guess in a million years that the Féraphine they were begging for was none other than Flora, whom they had always looked down upon.
"How much are they offering for the treatment?" Flora asked, her tone indifferent.
Crimson gave her a curious glance via the screen, "Two billion."
"Abbey's life, just two billion? That's a bargain." Flora clicked her tongue, leaning back against the pillow, her voice relaxed, "Tell the White family, two hundred billion, in exchange for Abbey's life." "Flora darling, just two hundred billion, I'd give it to you, but would you really treat that wretch Abbey for this amount?"
Crimson couldn't quite grasp what Flora was planning.
Wasn't it just two hundred billion?
Flora wasn't exactly strapped for cash.
"Two hundred billion isn't a fortune, but why turn down money handed to us?"
Flora spoke with a casual air, "Besides, there are plenty of ways to make Abbey squirm."
If Abbey just stayed bedridden, wouldn't that be too easy on her?
And let's not forget the White family.
She wouldn't let them off the hook either.
Weren't they still plotting to oust her Connor?
Well, let's see who ousts whom first.
When it came to playing dirty, she was the master.
Hearing this, Crimson's eyes shone
brightly Flora darling, what are you
"Content belontaret
After Flora laid out her plan, Crimson was almost ready to bow down to her.
Such cunning!
...
At the White family's hospital.
"Still no progress?"
Tommy looked at Abbey lying in the hospital bed, exhaustion etched on his face. Since Abbey was admitted, she'd had a few surgeries, but she still hadn't come to.
"Master of the White family, Ms. Abbey's injuries are too critical, we're at our wits' end, there's nothing more we can do," the doctor said helplessly. "Now, only Doctor Féraphine can save her."
Hearing this, Tommy's headache grew worse.
He had already tried negotiating with people from Club 257, but they hadn't budged.
He had thrown all sorts of incentives at them, yet they still ignored him.
He'd thought that the moment he asked, Féraphine would come running.
But who knew getting Féraphine would be such a challenge?
"Master, there's news from Club 257! They've agreed to treat the miss!"
Just as Tommy was losing hope, the butler rushed in.
They'd finally agreed!
Tommy's face lit up, but before he could celebrate, the butler
stammered, "But they said... Sal
"Said what?"
"The treatment will cost two hundred billion."
Tommy: "..."
He could hardly believe his ears!
Was it really two hundred billion, not just two billion?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
