As long as the price Olivia stated was within Brittany's capability, she would agree and send Olivia away as soon as possible.
It would be even better if Brittany got Olivia to write a letter saying she was leaving. It would prove that Brittany did not force Olivia to do so, but it was her that got swayed by the money and left. This way, Alexander could see Olivia's true colors.
"How much do I want?" Olivia frowned. She pretended like she was in a dilemma as she pondered. Then, she muttered, "Two, three, four, five, six…what about 500 million?"
Brittany almost spat in shock. She would not believe that this woman dared to name such a price if she had not heard it with her own ears. '500 million? Does this woman think I own a gold mine?!'
"Are you kidding me?!" Brittany shot up abruptly. She finally realized Olivia was playing her, and her expression changed drastically. She finally dropped her cheerful front.
"Of course not! Since you were trying to make a joke, it's only polite if I joked back!" Olivia said disapprovingly.
"I made a joke? When did I make a joke?" Brittany tried to recall. She had no idea what Olivia was talking about.
"You and I know who he is and his worth. You and I also know how much benefit and wealth you can get once you marry him. For you to offer one million to send me away, are you looking down on him or the Russel family?"
There were many incidents where the rich would try to buy the poor out with their money. It was something Olivia had pondered for a long time. If someone was looking for financial gains, won't they know which side would benefit them more? Why would they give up a big fish for a small sum of money? It would not make sense.
"So, you're not going to leave?" Brittany tore the check unhappily. This woman was not as easy to deal with as she thought. "Do you think you can really marry him? You're not worthy of him at all."
Olivia tilted her head to look at Brittany with her arms crossed and smirked. "I can't say I'm worthy, but I know you're not! Otherwise, you wouldn't have shown up here to try and send me away in such a hurry!"
This sentence hit Brittany straight in the heart, and she immediately felt embarrassed. Her hands that hung by her side instantly clenched into fists. "Shut up!"
Olivia was right. Otherwise, Brittany did not have to hire a private detective to look into this and show up at Olivia's front door.
"This is my house, and this is my mouth. I can say whatever I want. Why should I shut up? You're welcome to leave if you don't want to hear me talk!"
Each sentence she said was harsher than the other. Brittany was so angry that she forgot to maintain her classy front. Her constant reminder not to stoop as low as this hooligan of a woman got thrown out the window.
She could not wait to tear Olivia apart after discovering how annoying she was.
"You shameless sl*t!" Brittany yelled before rushing over to Olivia, trying to scratch and claw at her face. She wanted to peel off the mask she thought Olivia had on.
Olivia did not expect Brittany to jump at her like that and get slammed to the ground. After struggling a moment, Olivia finally propped herself up with her elbows. However, Brittany ignored this and continued to wrestle her to the ground, clawing at Olivia's face.
