Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 444

Rejection only meant the price wasn't high enough.

Lydia gripped her fingers tightly and blurted, "Three hundred million!"

Lilith stared at Lydia in disbelief. That was hundreds of millions of dollars, not pocket change. The Sutton family certainly didn't have that kind of liquid cash.

Lilith turned to look at Xavier. Though he frowned, he didn't say anything, which allowed Lilith to breathe a sigh of relief.

But a second later, Lydia raised the price again. "Three hundred and fifty million!"

Lilith gasped.

"Mom!" Are you crazy?!

A flash of displeasure crossed Xavier's eyes. Wanting to save face for Lilith, he kept his mouth shut, though his expression darkened.

Seeing that Dr. Joseph still wouldn't agree, Lydia went completely mad. "Four hundred million!"

Lilith was speechless. She really is crazy! Daring to shout out four hundred million just for a surgery slot.

Xavier frowned. He was wealthy and willing to take care of Lilith's parents for her sake, but he refused to be treated as their endless ATM.

Giving his money voluntarily was an act of goodwill.

But for them to throw around his money without asking made him furious.

Furthermore, four hundred million was no small sum!

Just then, the door to Dr. Joseph's office swung open.

"Dr. Joe, why not take her up on it? It's four hundred million," Summer said as she walked into his office with the assistant.

"Summer!" Dr. Joseph stood up joyfully, stepping forward to give her a warm, light hug.

He then looked at her with bright eyes. "Summer, you look even more gorgeous."

Summer chuckled. "Thank you. You're looking quite handsome yourself."

"Summer," Lilith blurted out in shock. "What are you doing here?"

"Summer?"

Dr. Joseph looked confusedly from Lilith to Summer, his eyes full of questions.

Summer gave a brief introduction.
