Chapter 379
Maeve only came back to her senses after a long time. “Aren’t you being unreasonable?”
Zion pondered for a while before he replied, “I guess so.”
Maeve was rendered speechless.
Conner thought it would be the end of this matter after paying five billion dollars. However, he was the only one who thought so
Zion planned to get the money from Conner and settle the score with him later.
It was such a despicable mean.
“What do you plan to do next?”
Zion looked at Maeve’s curious gaze and smiled faintly. “Do you want to know?”
Maeve couldn’t stop nodding.
Zion pointed at his cheek and said softly, “I’ll tell you if you kiss me.”
“Zion Spencer!” Maeve blushed in an instant.
Zion was just shameless. The first time they had met, Zion had raised the bidding price on purpose to attract her attention. She didn’t have enough funds and could only ask for the money from Zion.
Back then, she hadn’t given it much thought. After mulling over it now, she realized Zion had done that to get to know her.
“okay, I’ll stop tooling around.”
Zion stood up and said, “He slapped you twice, so I’ll deal with him later. Five billion dollars is just the beginning. It’ll be easy if it’s a one–time payment, but it’ll be such a pain if this drags on
Maeve pursed her lips. “Is it dangerous?
“For the sake of our future, I won’t bring in forces that shouldn’t be involved. Don’t worry.”
Zion stroked Maeve’s hair and said, “It’s late. Go back to sleep.”
“What about you…”
“Why? Do you want me to sleep with you?”
Maeve’s face became redder. She rose to her feet and pushed Zion away. “Nobody wants to sleep with you!”
With that, Maeve ran back to the room.
Zion stared at her back. The smile on his face disappeared slowly, and he looked solemn.
The Jefferson family from Lentimas City was indeed difficult to deal with.
The next day, Maeve was woken up by the sound of the TV in the living room. She was still in a daze as she opened her eyes. When she walked outside, she saw Lyra hitting the bed. Meanwhile, Charlie was yawning at the side. He said, “Lyra, you’ve been doing this all morning. Can’t you stop? You’ve woken Ms. Scott up!
“Lyra, what’s wrong
Lyra was enraged as she replied, “What else could it be? Even as an outsider, I’m almost exploding! But you seem relaxed!”
“What’s wrong?
Marve walked to the living room and spotted the news playing on the TV.
On the screen, Clara wore a high–end white gown and the best jewelry. She was hugging the old Henry, and he was crying his heart out.
The headline of the news was “The retum of the Ramoz family’s daughter, who has gone missing for years. A tearful reunion with her father.”
“How juetentious!
Lyra threw away the pillow in her hands. Charlie saw that and immediately went to pick up the pillow. “Lyra, don’t be mad. She is obviously just putting on an act. “
