His nose that was originally high up in the air had lowered greatly as well. When he spoke again, he sounded way more modest now. "Master Ares, as you know, ever since Angeline got into a car accident, my father was bedridden and the Severe family has been going downhill since then. Things haven't been quite a s efficient in recent years, so I won’t be able to take out so much money in such a short period of time. Can you please give me some time, Master Ares?"
George might have ulterior motives for bringing up Angeline.
He was trying to hint at Jay, asking him not to forget about the relationship he and Angeline shared.
Even so, he was just a mediocre man. How could he possibly understand the sorrows in Jay's heart?
Jay casually said, "I heard that Mr. Severe owns a villa on Apple Street that's located at an auspicious location. Since we've been acquainted for so many years, I'll be honest with you. I like your villa and am willing to purchase it at three times the market price. What do you say, Mr. Severe?"
When Anne heard that Jay was going to acquire her house, she started howling immediately. "No way! Where are we supposed to stay if we sell the house?"
Jay pressed on with each step. "I can give you a 50
percent discount on the patent fees if you sell the villa to me."
George wavered.
With a 50 percent discount on the patent fee, he could save more than 200 billion.
This was a huge benefit.
His villa could not offset this price no matter how great it was.
"Okay, I agree," George said.
Anne immediately cried aloud, "Where are we supposed to stay then, George?"
George said, "If all else fails, we'll just move back here."
Jay turned his dark and cold gaze toward Old Master Severe. "If my memory serves me right, I think Old Master Severe once promised me that the Connors family won't be allowed to move into the Severe family's residence, right?"
He was simply driving George and his family into a corner.
