Chapter 258 Never Marry Anyone Else

“Fine,” Natasha finally agreed.

Lily couldn’t hide her delight when Natasha finally gave in.

Now that Percy was the Grosso family heir, her wealth and status had risen right along with his.

She could easily throw a few million at Natasha and send her packing.

“Name your price,” Lily said.

Lily shot her a look full of contempt.

“30 million dollars,” Natasha said without hesitation.

Natasha didn’t even blink.

Lily’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”

Natasha met her gaze. “30 million dollars.”

Natasha thought, ‘Didn’t she tell me to name my price?

‘So why is she looking at me like I asked for the moon?’

Lily glared at her, her anger barely contained. “Why don’t you go rob a bank?”

’30 million dollars? Seriously? As if she’s worth that much; Lily scoffed inwardly.

Natasha replied calmly, “When I signed the confidentiality agreement with your son, he gave me 15 million dollars.

“If I break it, I have to pay double. 30 million dollars is the penalty I’d owe your son.”

Natasha’s words shut Lily right up.

She was stunned into silence for several seconds.

“Is the penalty really that high? You’re not making this up, are you?” Lily blurted out, unable to believe it.

Natasha raised an eyebrow. “If you think I’m lying, why don’t you ask your son?”

Lily frowned, at a loss for words.

If the penalty really was that high, there was no way she could come up with that kind of money on the spot.

And even if she could, she’d never be willing to hand over that much cash to Natasha all at once.

Lily thought, ‘Why should I?

‘If I really had 30 million dollars, I’d use it to buy off my next daughter-in-law.

‘Why throw that kind of money at Natasha?’

Seeing Lily fall silent, Natasha spoke up at the right moment. “Mrs. Grosso, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

She turned to go.

“Wait!” Lily suddenly called out.

Natasha stopped in her tracks, but didn’t turn around.

“Mrs. Grosso, is there something else you need?” Natasha asked.

Lily shot her a warning, “Since you and my son are done, stay away from him from now on. Don’t ever get involved with him again.”

Natasha turned around and said, “Works for me. If your son can actually keep his distance, I’m all for it.”

Lily’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“What do you mean by that? Are you seriously suggesting my son would still get hung up on you?” Lily shot back.

In her mind, Percy was on a whole new level now. Natasha wasn’t worth it anymore.

If he had any sense, he’d have cut someone like her out of his life for good.

‘Why would he ever waste his time on her again?’ Lily scoffed to herself.

Natasha stressed, “Like I said, I’m thinking exactly the same as you. If you’ve got questions, you should be asking your son, not me.”

With that, she strode off without so much as a .

Lily stood there, looking utterly dumbfounded.

Chapter 258 Never Marry Anyone Else

That same day, Lily returned to the Grosso mansion and immediately called Percy, ordering him to come home right away. Percy hurried home, still catching his breath. The moment he stepped inside, Lily shot straight at him, “So you really broke up with Natasha, and handed her 15 million dollars? Is that for real?”

Percy’s brows knitted together as he immediately caught on. “Mom, did you go see her?”

Lily had no choice but to admit it. “Yeah.”

Percy shot back, “Why did you go see her?”

Lily’s gaze shifted. “I tried to get her to agree to go public with your relationship…”

Percy interrupted her, “Keeping it under wraps was my call, not hers. You shouldn’t have bothered talking to her.”

Lily looked genuinely surprised.

She glanced at Percy in disbelief. “Was that really your idea?”

Percy nodded. “Yeah.”

Lily couldn’t accept it.

Lily burst out, “Are you out of your mind? You two are already over, so why are you still dragging your feet about making it public?

“Do you even realize how many heiresses from powerful families are lining up to marry you, but they’re all holding back because they think you’re still taken?

“If you announce it, you could marry a well-matched heiress from a top family, someone who’s a thousand times better than Natasha and Joelle combined.”

She was practically fuming as she spoke.

Percy said firmly, “I know.”

Lily blinked in disbelief. “If you know, then why are you still…”

Percy interrupted, his tone resolute. “For the rest of my life, I’ll never marry anyone but Natasha.”

Lily’s eyes widened in shock.

She couldn’t believe it.

“What?” Lily gasped.

Percy repeated, his voice unwavering, “I only want Natasha.”

This time, he made it crystal clear.

Lily heard every word loud and clear.

Lily pressed, “If Natasha is the only one you want, then why did you break up with her in the first place?

“And why did you keep things going with Joelle even when you were with Natasha?”

At this point, even as his mother, she couldn’t make sense of Percy anymore.

All this time, she’d always thought Joelle was the one Percy truly cared about.

She’d even believed that breaking up with Natasha was so he could marry Joelle.

But now, not only was Percy making Joelle suffer, he was actually telling her straight up that Natasha was the only woman he’d ever marry.

‘Wait, does he actually have feelings for Natasha now?’ Lily thought.

“That was then. This is now.” Percy muttered, clearly frustrated.

Percy reflected inwardly, ‘If only I’d realized sooner that I didn’t dislike Natasha nearly as much as I thought.

‘Hell, maybe I even liked her more than I cared to admit.

‘If I’d known, I never would’ve let her go so easily.’

Even he was caught off guard by how things turned out.

He’d always thought he was in love with Joelle.

But it wasn’t until he and Natasha were apart that he realized he couldn’t get her out of his mind.

Especially now that he was the Grosso family heir.
