Chapter 246
Chris said with a faint smile, "Mr. Bryce, what are you doing here? You're acting like I'm pissed off. You beat your son and grandson so badly. Aren't you afraid you might kill your sons and grandchildren, and when you die, there's no one to give you a final farewell?"
Carl looked quite awkward when he heard this.
He could not help but curse inwardly.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Why don't you just tell me you're not mad?"
"You only said you weren't angry after I'd already hit them. What does that mean?"
Adam and Lillard, who were lying on the ground, were quite speechless.
Had they been beaten up for nothing?
Carl said with determination, "Mr. Shelby, these two bastards deserve to die for offending you!"
Adam and Carl shuddered when they heard this.
What did Carl mean by that?
Did he want to kill his son and grandson?
Chris smiled and waved his hand. "It's not that big of a deal. It's just that your grandson is a little too high profile. I was having dinner here with my wife, and he barged in, disturbed us, and stained my wife's clothes."
Hearing this, Carl's face darkened.
His resentment grew stronger!
Chris broke the legs of his son and grandson just because they interrupted Chris's dinner with his wife. How cruel he was!
But although Carl felt angry inside, he didn't dare to show it.
"How dare my grandson disturb your dinner with your wife! He was damned..."
Carl said tearfully.
Chris frowned when he saw it.
Carl had a runny nose when he was eating fruit, which was a bit disgusting.
Chris put down his apple and said flatly, "All right! I forgive them for their mistakes. Let the matter rest."
"Thank you, Mr. Shelby…"
Carl bowed and thanked Chris when he heard that.
"But…"
Before Carl could finish his sentence, Chris suddenly said.
Hearing this, Carl's heart raced.
He looked up, glanced at Chris, and said fearfully, "But what?"
Chris said with a smile, "Mr. Bryce, you don't have to be nervous, but your grandson soiled my wife's dress. Do you think you should compensate her for a new dress?"
Hearing this, Carl's face suddenly became serious.
He knew Chris was taking the opportunity to make an excessive demand.
Carl said with an ingratiating smile, "Of course. As a token of my apology, I'd like to pay your wife a hundred thousand."
Chris raised his eyebrows and said, "A hundred thousand? What are you thinking? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"
What?
Carl froze there.
Wasn't one hundred thousand even enough for a dress?
If a real beggar heard this, he would be devastated.
Carl gritted his teeth and said, "A million!"
Chris poured a glass of red wine without saying anything.
Carl's face changed a few times when Chris didn't say anything.
At last, he stamped his foot and said, "Ten million! Mr. Shelby, surely that's enough to buy your wife a dress, right?"
Esther was surprised.
The dress cost her just over a hundred dollars.
And Carl wanted to pay her ten million? Was he out of his mind?
Chris was still silent, and Carl frowned and said, "Mr. Shelby, just tell me how much it is!"
At this point, he was breaking down inside.
Ten million was a lot of money for a dress. And Chris still didn't say anything. What did he want?
Chris turned his head, looked at Esther, and asked, "Honey, how much did you pay for that dress?"
Esther thought about it and said, "I believe it's one…"
