“Ms. Tann, do you really not trust me at all?”

Nina ordered a cup of coffee and took a slow sip. “I’ve always believed trust goes both ways. But after you had me abducted yesterday, I know better than to place any trust in certain people.”

She checked the time on her watch then looked up at Julian. “Jensen only let me head out for an hour. He’ll come looking for me the second time’s up. You’d better say whatever you need to quickly. I’m pressed for time.”

“Name your price.”

Julian slid a blank check across the table straight away.

Staring at the check, Nina found the scene oddly familiar. It was just like those classic plots where wealthy elders tried to drive a young woman away with money. She never thought she would end up in such a situation herself.

“I don’t quite get what you mean, Mr. Beaumont.”

“Take the money and leave Jensen. Move overseas or go anywhere far away. Just stay out of his life and never let him track you down again.”

“Sorry, but my family is hardly short on cash.”

“Will ten billion dollars be enough?”

Nina’s smile faded the moment he spoke that huge sum.

“I never knew Audrey meant this much to you.”

Jensen’s voice suddenly rang out from behind them. Julian frowned and spun around to see him standing there.

Jensen picked up the check and tore it in half casually. “I will never marry Audrey. No amount of money you offer can make her stay by my side if I don’t want it.”

“You sure showed up at just the right moment.”

Nina had already guessed he would follow her here. She had wanted to hear more of his terms, yet Jensen had rushed over in such a hurry, as if fearing she might agree to the offer any second.

“If I hadn’t come, were you planning to haggle over the price with him?” Jensen said coolly.

“You’re actually going to call off the engagement?” Julian’s tone turned sharp and threatening, making it clear this choice meant openly opposing his entire family.

“Yes.”

Nina froze the instant the plain word left his mouth. “Jensen, have you lost your mind?”

“Fine, very well then.” Julian glanced between the two of them. “My sister isn’t desperate enough to force herself on anyone. If you insist on ending this engagement, you’re declaring war on the entire Beaumont family. We’re officially enemies from this day on.”

With that, he stood up and strode straight out of the café. Many other guests inside watched the whole drama unfold. Nina’s face darkened instantly.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?”

“I only know I did exactly what I wanted to do.”

“Have you weighed all the terrible consequences of going against the Beaumonts?”

Jensen could manage fine without their support, but picking a fight with such a powerful clan was sheer recklessness. The Beaumonts already held massive influence all across Halmont, them meant making a formidable enemy right here in the city.

His tone left no room for argument. He walked out of the café quickly, and Nina had no choice but to follow along.

She slammed the car door hard after getting into the passenger seat.

“Rare for a young lady of your status to sit up front, isn’t it?”
