Immediately afterward, Lucy Katz held her head as she felt a bit dizzy. Her eyes were filled with panic.
Jada Swanson stared at Lucy with hatred.
However, both Joel Foster and Mace Smith did not pay attention to the women’s reactions.
Joel deviously smiled. He looked like a devil that wanted to pull Mace into the depths of hell.
Mace clenched his hands nervously and his palms were sweating profusely.
Seeing that Mace did not answer, Joel casually stated another price. “1.5 billion.”
The guests who were watching this scene unfold were utterly shocked.
No one knew that Lucy Katz was so important in the eyes of Joel Foster.
Just as the saying went, spend a fortune just to see a smile on the beauty’s face.
However, not many families could afford to hand out 1.5 billion for a lady’s favor.
This was too heavily-priced.
Joel did not have a care in the world.
If he dared to say it, he could do it. As long as Mace agreed to his request, what was it giving out 1.5 billion?
It was merely a few months of income. Joel could afford it.
The situation did not exceed Joel’s expectations.
One could see the growing struggle flashing across Mace’s eyes.
Mace still did not answer. However, as Joel saw the possibility of this happening, his eyes carried a hint of contempt.
‘Mace’s love for Lu was nothing.’
‘Ha! He wanted to be Lu’s husband like this?’
‘Mace should dream on!’
“2 billion.”
Joel mockingly curled up his lips further and stated another price.
The people around held their breaths for a moment.
‘2 billion...how determined is Joel?’
Mace was surprised by Joel’s generosity.
He took a deep breath and was about to agree to it.
‘How could he not agree?’
‘2 billion! It was 2 billion!’
‘Sorry Lucy, he could not neglect his family for the sake of her.’
As Mace was about to respond, a wicked smile flashed across Joel’s face.
“3 billion. I want you to sever all ties with her.”
Joel did not mind adding 1 billion for both of them to completely cut off their ties. He also wanted to take this opportunity to show Lu how much of a snob her fiancé was, and how much he valued money over her.
Everyone was stunned.
In reality at this event, there were a few that could spend 3 billion at ease, but they were still shocked to see this.
They would spend this money, but only on investment to grow more money. They would not just waste it on a woman.
All the onlookers began to look forward to where this was headed to.
‘Since Young Master Foster was willing to spend this much on a woman, what other unreasonable things would he do for her?’
This was what everyone was concerned about.
Initially, Mace wanted to accept this proposal, but when Joel declared a new price, he faltered.
‘3 billion was not a small sum. It could allow the Smith family’s business to take off.’
‘However, he would have to completely sever the relationship between him and Lucy. Should he make this decision?’
Mace thought about this and looked at Lucy.
The color drained from Lucy’s face and she looked at Mace with imploring eyes.
He saw Lucy looking at him. She desperately shook her head and her pleading eyes became more intense.
