Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 201: Give Everything to Him
Arthur smiled and said, "Of course, as I said, transfer the money to my account."
Brooke clenched her fists, "Three hundred million is too much, I can only give you fifty million at most!"
Brooke gritted her teeth and said, "Eighty million!"
Arthur still shook his head, not saying a word, obviously still unsatisfied.
Brooke was furious, but she didn’t dare not to give.
Finally, she steeled herself and said, "One hundred million, no more than that!"
Seeing her continual concessions, Arthur finally relented and said, "Alright then, one hundred million, but I want US dollars.
Three hundred million was the initial price, but with these photos, the price has to go up.
I think the richest person in Veridia should still be able to afford this amount, right?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Brooke was shocked.
She didn’t expect this person to be so shameless.
"That’s not what you said earlier!"
Arthur laughed, "I wasn’t joking with you, besides, we didn’t specify what currency.
Think about it, one hundred million US dollars could buy a lifetime of peace and secure your position as Mrs. Hawthorne, it’s a worthwhile deal.
After all, the Hawthorne Group is in business, and this money can be earned back, you won’t lose out."
Brooke trembled with anger, "What good does this do for you?! Haven’t you considered Sonny?
He’s your son after all, aren’t you afraid this will affect him too by extorting me like this?!"
Arthur laughed indifferently, "That’s the son you raised, how close could he be to me?
He’s probably busy calling Jordan Hawthorne ’Dad’ now, how could he still remember me?
Since there’s no connection between us, I won’t insist.
One hundred million US dollars, not a cent less, I’ll give you time to consider, if you don’t give me an answer by this time tomorrow, I’ll play your videos and photos nonstop at the city square in Veridia."
Brooke’s face turned red, but she couldn’t do anything to Arthur, so she angrily slammed the door and left.
Seeing her leave, Arthur did not try to stop her. Having just closed this deal, he was in a great mood, and ordered a large meal for himself, enjoying it thoroughly...
Sabrina was unaware of what happened there, and after returning to the private room, she dined with the old man.
It was more than an hour later when they finished eating.
Butler Woods went to get the car, while Sabrina helped the old man and waited at the restaurant door.
Coincidentally, Arthur also finished his meal and came out of the restaurant.
Upon seeing Sabrina, he immediately recognized her as Jordan Hawthorne’s ex-wife, the rival Brooke looked upon with disdain.
Before coming to the country, he had seen her photos while investigating Jordan Hawthorne.
Unexpectedly, in person, she was even more outstanding than in the photos.
No wonder Brooke was in such a hurry to return to the country.
Interest flickered in Arthur’s eyes.
Back when he met Brooke, he thought she was the most beautiful Eastern woman he’d seen.
Now it seems, that’s not entirely true.
Sabrina, standing by the roadside, with her charmingly graceful silhouette, was even more charming than Brooke.
Especially her profile, exquisite and graceful, exuding a fresh and ethereal allure that made it hard for anyone to look away.
In contrast to Brooke’s fierce and hideous face, Arthur’s eyes showed a hint of disdain.
Suddenly, he found Brooke somewhat vulgar and unbearable!
...
Sabrina vaguely sensed a heated gaze staring at her.
After helping the old man into the car, she glanced back, her eyes meeting the man’s gaze full of interest.
Sabrina frowned slightly.
She didn’t know him, and that strange gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.
Not wanting to cause any trouble, she quickly looked away, got into the car, and headed straight back to the research institute.
On the other side, after leaving the restaurant, Brooke returned to Hawthorne Manor.
On the way, she was thinking about how to get some money from Jordan Hawthorne.
On her own, she couldn’t come up with such a large amount of money.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice anything unusual at home when she entered.
It wasn’t until she looked up that she saw Florence Scott.
Brooke was startled, but quickly put on a gentle and sweet smile, "Aunt, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you let me know?"
Since knowing Sabrina’s identity, Florence Scott was utterly displeased.
Thinking that all of this was inseparable from Brooke, she had come to warn Brooke to behave and not cause trouble for The Hawthornes.
Unexpectedly, upon arrival, she found Brooke was not at home.
Florence was even more dissatisfied with her and waited for a long time, running out of patience, before seeing Brooke return from outside.
She didn’t greet her kindly as before, but questioned her with a fiery temper: "Do I need to report when I come to my son’s house? Where have you been?"
If it were before, hearing Florence’s words, Brooke would definitely be unhappy.
But now she felt somewhat guilty and didn’t dare to throw a tantrum, hurriedly replying in panic, "I went out to relax..."
"Hmph!" Florence was extremely dissatisfied, "How dare you go relax, I think you’re out there embarrassing yourself again, aren’t you?
Brooke, the Hawthorne family’s reputation over the years has been ruined by you!
Since you’ve entered our family, and without a proper job, at the very least, do what you’re supposed to and take care of Jordan.
So in the end, you do nothing at all and leave it all to the servants... How did I ever think you were better than Sabrina Hayes before?"
Once again being compared to Sabrina, Brooke’s face fell immediately, so she quickly responded, "It’s not that I don’t want to do it; it’s because Jordan feels sorry for me and won’t let me."
That only made Florence even angrier, "He feels sorry for you, but how come you don’t know how to feel sorry for him?
Sabrina used to be able to find time for household chores, care for the kids, and even ensure Jordan’s meals and accommodations were well-attended to, all while working. And what about you?!
Jordan’s been so busy lately, his leg’s still not well, and you keep making things worse everywhere..."
Brooke couldn’t stand being constantly compared to Sabrina by the other party.
If she was so good, then why hadn’t they treated Sabrina any better back then...
But she dared not say this, fearing that it would infuriate Florence and lead to her being directly kicked out.
And now, Arthur even came to extort her. If she didn’t perform well, she might lose even her last chance...
Brooke, knowing how to seize an opportunity, immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake, saying, "I’m sorry, it’s indeed my fault. I will remember your guidance and will definitely take good care of Jordan from now on."
Seeing her submissive look, Florence, thinking of Sabrina who was praised by everyone outside and was full of confidence, even more disliked Brooke.
She said, "Don’t just pay lip service; you need to act. And also, stop causing trouble outside. If it happens again, you and your son will have to move out of the manor!"
After saying that, Florence stormed off.
Brooke stood where she was, her nails digging into her flesh, her face dark as could be.
That old woman Florence used to treat her kindly and treat Sonny like a grandson when The Sinclair Family was doing well.
And now, not long after, she turns her back on them!
Brooke’s sense of crisis grew stronger.
She used to think that after curing Jordan’s leg, he would accept her.
But that plan failed; now The Hawthornes had this attitude towards her, and she felt the day she got kicked out wasn’t far away.
Suddenly, Brooke remembered what her mother had told her.
It seemed she really needed to get pregnant with a child from The Hawthorne Family as soon as possible!
This might be her last chance...
Thinking of this, Brooke felt a bit sad.
She never dreamt that she would become a tool for childbirth to achieve her desires one day.
And all of this was caused by Sabrina!
Brooke was filled with resentment, her eyes turning fierce, her gaze becoming so dark as if it was about to drip blood.
...
On Sabrina’s end, ever since the conclusion of the medical conference, the company had gotten busier.
Now, both companies were renowned in the industry, attracting many eager to collaborate.
Even people who had little connection with them before were coming forward to make nice.
However, Josee Sheffield took care of all these things, letting her enjoy her peace, focusing solely on research, ignoring external matters.
But on The Yates family side, there was an intention to cooperate with them, with Poppy Yates personally coming to discuss it.
Unlike others, Poppy had a good relationship with Sabrina, so when she got word of Poppy’s visit, Sabrina personally went to greet her.
The Yates family had strong connections and held some advanced medical equipment and apparatus from abroad.
With heavy tasks due to military collaboration, Sabrina had long thought of expanding the laboratory.
During their meeting, they had a pleasant conversation.
Poppy didn’t play hardball, offering reasonable friends’ rates, and Sabrina readily signed the contract.
While Poppy was signing, Sabrina noticed the stylish fountain pen she was using and suddenly had a light bulb moment.
"Miss Yates, I wonder, where did you buy that pen?"
She seemed to have figured out what gift to give Mr. Fitzgerald.
Poppy, slightly surprised by the pen inquiry, laughed and replied, "This is custom-made. Would you like one? I can introduce you; they have many styles, each with excellent quality."
Sabrina nodded eagerly, "Yes!"
Poppy handed her a business card, then took two tickets from her bag and gave them to Sabrina.
"I heard your child loves painting; there’s an art exhibition this weekend you can take him to."
Sabrina was somewhat surprised to see those two tickets.
Because this exhibition wasn’t ordinary. It was quite prestigious, displaying and selling some famous paintings, so tickets were limited.
She didn’t expect Poppy to have two tickets and to give them so generously.
"These two tickets are too valuable; how can I..."
Sabrina was about to refuse but Poppy laughed and said, "Don’t say no, we’ve been friends for some time. If you act formal, I’ll be upset."
With Poppy saying that, Sabrina couldn’t refuse any longer, so she happily accepted the tickets, "Okay then, I won’t stand on ceremony."
Seeing her accept the tickets, Poppy was very pleased.
After finishing their talk, as Poppy had other matters, she left first.
Sabrina went back and checked out the exhibition.
After looking, she thought a custom pen wasn’t that expensive.
Mr. Fitzgerald loved paintings, perhaps she could give him one as well.
Thinking about this, Sabrina messaged Jasper Fitzgerald, asking, "Could we reschedule Saturday’s appointment? I have something to attend to..."
Jasper, receiving the message, was holding several exhibition tickets.
Does this mean... these are going to waste?
Feeling slightly regretful, Jasper acknowledged that the exhibition was a rare opportunity.
So he responded, "Okay, if you’re busy, you can let me take Zara. This weekend’s arrangement is rare, I think Zara would enjoy it too."
