Chapter 13 Demanding an Exorbitant Price
After working hard for approximately 30 minutes, Olivia finally stopped. Her face was covered in a sheen of sweat as she looked up at the crowd around her. “Don’t worry; Old Man Nolan will be fine. He will wake up in ten minutes if nothing unexpected occurs.”
The entire scene was silent, and nobody said a word.
Only Penny spoke up in discontent, “My grandpa is going to wake up just because you poked some needles into him? What the hell are you bragging about?”
Even so, her eyes were glued to the old man lying on the bed as if she was trying to verify Olivia’s words.
On the other hand, Olivia ignored her. Instead, she sat by the side, resting.
“Here, Mommy.” North handed her a handkerchief that he had prepared beforehand.
Taking it from him, she smiled and stroked his head. “Thanks, North.” As she wiped at her sweat, she glanced over at Eugene again, and her lips curled into a smile. “President Nolan, my consultation fee is 50 million.”
Similarly, the corners of Eugene’s mouth lifted slightly. Then, he reached his hand out behind him.
Curtis immediately handed him a check. He took the check and subsequently placed it in her hand.
“You do demand an exorbitant price, Miss Maxwell.” His smile hinted at a smugness of having already foreseen her actions.
She was momentarily taken aback by the check in his hand.
D*mn it! I asked for too little!
The feeling that she had asked for too little intensified—even more so when she saw the nasty smile tugging at his lips.
She glared at him fiercely and reached out her hand to take the check. However, she did not expect a figure to rush over suddenly and snatch the check out of her hands before the check could even absorb the warmth from her hands.
