Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2575

After leaving a certain distance away from the restaurant, I opened the note from Silas and threw it away into the trash can after reading it.

On the way back, I sent a message to Marius and the others, asking them to gather at my apartment. They arrived one after another not long after I got back to the apartment.

"I went to see Sylvester and Silas today."

When Marius heard that, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed my shoulders, and looked me over carefully. "Are you okay? Did they trouble you?”

I loosened his hands and shook my head. “I’m fine. Silas couldn’t sit still. That’s why he came looking for me. He wanted information from me.”

Tyler leaned against the side of the table with his hands in his pockets. He looked at me seriously and asked, “What did you tell him?”

“I told him about having a backer and finally asked to share our base bids with one another.”

Shannon could not settle when she heard that and shot up off the stool. “What? You shared your base bids?”

“Are you serious?”

Marius glanced at Shannon and chuckled. “Sis Wan wouldn’t reveal our real numbers. Aren’t I right?”

I nodded. “Yes. Similarly, he wouldn’t give me his actual one either. I suggested this just so I could get out of there quickly. I didn’t think Silas would agree. I think he’s trying to figure something out from the price I gave.”

“Wandy, how much did you report, then?” Tyler asked calmly.

I lifted my hand and gestured the number.

"70 million?"

"Yes. I wrote 70 million," I said lightly.

Shannon stroked her chin, looking pensive. "This figure is actually very close to our base price."

"Yes. Why did you quote that?" Marius frowned and asked as well.

To the side, Tyler's expression did not change much, but his tone was a tad heavy. "Silas would be able to tell it's fake at a glance regardless if you reported higher or lower. 70 million is just right. He must still be wondering if the price we quoted is real or fake."
