The woman was pompous, and the man calculative, but both were troublesome.
Nigel already knew that Linda loved to hold her head high whenever she spoke, whereas Leonard would looked down at his own feet when he walked.
People like him were the most mysterious, and also the most selfish.
However, he never thought that both Leonard and Linda would be so shameless.
Before Tyrone showed up, Jennifer’s parents had always flattered Nigel.
Yet, they began to suck up to Tyrone once he came into the scene.
At that thought, Nigel looked at Leonard, Linda, and Kevin mockingly. “You all really see Jennifer as a commodity to be bought and sold, huh?”
Jennifer looked at Nigel. She somewhat agreed with him. Deep down, she felt saddened.
She really was a commodity at that moment. She was constantly the subject of their trade.
Even so, she still had to come because she wanted to earn more money.
Someone had told Jennifer that a miracle doctor in Pollerton could treat Donald, but the cost of the treatment was at least two hundred million.
She only had one objective right then. She had to finish her project within a month. Then, she would look for the miracle doctor from Pollerton, James Weiss, to treat Donald.
Jennifer opened her mouth to speak in a clear voice. “Nigel, say it. How much do I need to pay you so that I can continue mining?”
Nigel knew that Tyrone didn't really love Jennifer. They were all just using Tyrone's name to intimidate him. So, he replied, “Want to continue mining? Sure! I want half of your profits, and your company for ten days.”
Jennifer's eyes widened as she looked at Nigel furiously.
How shameless! How can he say something so disgraceful in broad daylight?
Kevin smacked his wheelchair and pointed at Nigel. He shouted, “Do you even know what you're saying, Nigel? My sister is still a virgin, and she belongs to Tyrone! Don't you even think about it! Tyrone will kill you, for sure, if I tell him what you just
said.”
Kevin was even angrier than Jennifer. He was a man too. He knew what other men were thinking.
Someone like Tyrone would never want “used goods.”
