Chapter 114
After Leonard went back, he stayed in the villa and did not go out.
Early the following day, Eileen called and said, “Leonard, Marianna made an appointment with Martin and other friends
and said that she would give Martin six million dollars. Are you going to stop her?”
Eileen believed in Leonard, knowing that Martin was scamming for money.
So she immediately thought of calling Leonard.
“Send me the location, and I’ll be there.”
After Leonard hung up the phone, he drove out of the villa directly.
At this time, in a room at the Marriott Restaurant.
Marianna, Jocelyn, Eileen, and Martin were all there.
“Miss Rodgers, I don’t know why you invited me here.”
Although Martin had already guessed Marianna’s intentions, he still asked on purpose.
In his eyes, Marianna was a big fish who was about to take the bait.
He could go to the casino with Marianna’s money to have fun again.
As for what to do next, gamblers wouldn’t think so much.
“Mr. Klein, I asked you out today because of that affair. I hope you can help.”
“I have already brought six million dollars.”
Marianna took out a card from her bag.
The young lady of the dignified Rodgers family, who was the apple of the eye, was now bowing her head to beg for help.
Marianna was very pitiful at this moment.
This was the helplessness of being born into a big family.
However, Martin did not take Marianna’s bank card but shook his head slightly.
Marianna was shocked.
Thinking that Martin had repented, she was a little anxious.
Martin said, “Originally, I asked for six million dollars because you are my friend, but Leonard didn’t show me respect, so six million dollars is not enough, and I want 12 million dollars.”
After inquiring for the past few days, Martin knew that Marianna was desperate.
So even if he raised the price now, she would definitely agree.
He could also blame Leonard. Killing two birds with one gemstone.
Marianna’s face suddenly became a little dark, and she didn’t expect that he would raise the price just because Leonard didn’t show him respect.
As for 12 million dollars, she didn’t have that much money on hand.
She couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Klein, it was Leonard’s fault for offending you, and I apologize to you on his behalf.”
“As for 12 million dollars, I really can’t get that much at once. Can you help me?”
Martin shook his head. “There is no discussion unless Leonard kneels and apologizes to me.”
Kayla, next to him, couldn’t help but say, “Leonard is really good for nothing. How dare he disrespect Mr. Klein? Now you have to spend an extra six million dollars for nothing. Why do you keep such a boyfriend?”
Marianna looked directly at Martin. “I know Leonard, and he won’t kneel to apologize.”
“You want 12 million dollars, right? I’ll pay for it, but Mr. Klein, please give me a week.”
Martin shook his head again. “One week is impossible. I will give you three days at most. After three days, I will go on a business trip to discuss business. If I can’t see the money, I won’t handle it.”
“Three days? I think you want to go to Legas to gamble in three days, right?”
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.

Chapter 114
Leonard came over and snatched the bank card from Marianna’s hand.
“You will get nothing! Martin, if you dare to scam others, be careful that I will break your legs.”
Seeing Leonard’s actions, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
“Why is he here?”
“Last time, it was because he was rude to Mr. Klein, and the price was increased to 12 million dollars. Now he dares to say such a thing. Doesn’t this mean that Mr. Klein has been completely offended?”
“I think after he made such a fuss, 12 million dollars is not enough, and it has to be increased to 18 million dollars.”
“Mr. Klein is not someone who lacks money. What he wants is respect.”
“I heard from Marianna that she ran away from home, and her bank card was frozen by her family. She only had one card
to use, and there were only six million dollars in it. Martin wanted 12 million dollars, and she didn’t know where to get it. If it is added to 18 million dollars, then there is really nothing she can do.”
Leonard looked at Marianna’s pitiful appearance and couldn’t help showing a bit of distress in his eyes.
With Marianna’s status, Martin was absolutely incomparable to her.
But now Marianna needed to bow her head to Martin, the reason for which was to protect Leonard.
Leonard thought, “What a silly girl.”
