Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 454

The atmosphere turned tense as soon as the words left his lips.

Beck slightly tilted his chin up, staring at Izabella, awaiting her response.

Izabella was clearly caught off guard, she didn't expect Beck to pull a stunt like that. She looked at the check worth half a million in front of her.

Half a million, she could buy quite a few of those.

Izabella raised an eyebrow, saying, "That's it?"

"That's it? Are you upset cause it's not enough? I knew it, you're after the Dempsey family's fortune," Beck looked down upon Izabella, his tone and gaze filled with disdain.

Wendy, who was glued to her phone, sighed and put her phone down. She was dragged into that situation by her Dad and didn't really want to get involved, but Beck's comments made her speak up.

"Dad, you're being stingy. It should be at least 5 million."

Beck immediately refuted, "Is your brother worth that much? Half a million is already a lot," Besides, if Izabella agreed to half a million, wouldn't he be at a loss?

He was a businessman; he didn’t do bad deals.

Wendy suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, held up five fingers, "Half a million? My brother is worth at least 50 million. Plus, Izabella's net worth is way beyond your half a million. You're embarrassing yourself. If Mom finds out, she won't just make you kneel on a washing board, she'll break your legs."

The thought sent a chill down Beck's spine; his hands trembled as they instinctively went to his knees.

In his nervousness, his pupils dilated, making him look like he was glaring. Beck leaned in toward Wendy and whispered, "All the checks are written for half a million, isn't it easier to say? We came here behind your Mom's back, don't tell her. What should we do, should we increase the price on the spot?"

Izabella acted like she didn't hear their whispers.

"This is just a probe, to see how they would react. You've already brought out the checks, they definitely know your intentions."

After discussing with Wendy, Beck turned his attention back to Izabella again, while Wendy resumed playing with her phone.

Izabella stood up and brought Beck a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Beck was determined as he cleared things up, "Let me tell you, it's impossible to bribe me with a cup of coffee."

Izabella chuckled, "Mr. Beck, you're overthinking it, I never intended to bribe you. Wendy, what would you like to drink? We have some sodas at home."

"Do you have Coke?"

"Yes."

Izabella went into the kitchen and brought back a can of Coke.

"Thanks."

Just as usual, Wendy sat quietly on the side, appearing very well-behaved.

Izabella took her previous seat and calmly said, "Mr. Dempsey, I would like to have a detailed discussion about my relationship with Casey. I am his girlfriend, he is my boyfriend, we are together because of our feelings, not anything else. If you measure our relationship by wealth, then I."

Suddenly, Izabella's expression changed. She picked up a check from the table, quickly filled in some numbers, and then slid the check toward Beck.

"If you intend to make me leave your son with half a million, then I am willing to pay 99.5 million to accompany your son for the rest of his life."

Beck was dumbfounded; was that woman crazy or sick?

"Are you joking? Can you even afford 99.5 million? You're young yet you're being reckless, spouting nonsense!"

"Perhaps in your investigation of me, you didn't get all the details. Allow me to introduce myself again, I am the executive director of the Maple Group, 90 million is not a problem for me."

"The Maple Group? You're?" Casey's father knew about that company, it had been gradually growing in the business world recently. Beck had estimated that the Maple Group was worth around 100 million.

Although 100 million wasn't much to Beck, it was quite impressive to be owned by Izabella. Keep in mind, Izabella was only in her early twenties, she had a promising future ahead of her.

"Mr. Dempsey, are you willing to accept this deal?"

"If you really give me this much money, your company might go bankrupt."

Izabella didn't seem to care at all as she said, "I can always earn more money. But there's only one Casey in this world, I won't be at a loss," She was willing to use all her assets to prove her feelings for Casey.

Mr. Dempsey was speechless, he thought Izabella was after his wealth, but she had the capability to create even more wealth, she didn't need to rely on a man.

Wendy, who had been playing with her phone on the side, also looked at Izabella in surprise.

"You're really the president of the Maple Group?"

"I have no reason to lie about this, the Dempsey family is fully capable of investigating. If you still don't believe me, you can ask Casey."

Wendy looked at Mr. Dempsey and said, "Dad, let's go. What's the point of your opinion if both Mom and brother like her?"

It wasn't a matter of willingness at that point, Mr. Dempsey felt like his son had struck gold, finding such a wealthy girlfriend.
