Chapter 848
Charlie’s arrival caught Haylair off guard.
Yvonne, Landon, and Haylan all looked up, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Charlie.
Charlie continued to stare at Haylan, and with a domineering tone, he said, “1, as a prince, don’t have much time for chatting with you for too long. Just give me a price now.”
His voice was filled with a sense of superiority and aloofness.
“Are you here to buy our Longevity Pills?” Yvonne asked curiously.
She hadn’t had a chance to showcase her Longevity Pill in front of others yet, and this person was already coming to buy it?
How could this person be so well–informed?
“It’s none of your business, shut up!”
Charlie coldly and arrogantly glared at Yvonne before turning his attention back to Haylan. “Haylan, you understand what I mean. Give me a price.”
“I don’t understand what you mean. If you want to do business with us, go find my girlfriend; don’t come to me,” Haylan said, shaking his head.
He thought this person must have gone nut. He had only met Reign once before, and now he wanted to do business with them but didn’t go to her. Instead, he came to him. Was he crazy?
Upon hearing Haylan’s words, Charlie’s gaze turned cold. He said, “Haylan Jaber, I thought about showing you some respect, but do you really want me to make it clear?”
“I don’t want to guess riddles. It’s better if you speak directly. If you have something to say, spit it quickly, Haylan responded impatiently.
BANG!
Without further ado, Charlie immediately took out a check and slammed it in front of Haylan. He said coldly, “Haylan, I have investigated you.
“You are just a small security guard in Ms. Labenz’s company. I don’t know what you did to enchant Ms. Labenz and make her your girlfriend.
“But you’re just a security guard, in other words, a nobody even in the Mapleturz Group. How could you possibly deserve the dignified Ms. Labenz?
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re with Ms. Labenz just for a free ride, and her money is your sole purpose.
“Now I’m giving you money. As long as you are willing to break up with Ms. Labenz, name your price!
“An exceptional beauty like Reign, only makes a perfect match with someone like me, a noble royal prince.
He stared at Haylan with a pair of disdainful and contemptuous eyes.
He had encountered countless women, but had rarely tasted the beauty of the mysterious traditional land. When he saw Reign earlier, his soul was completely captivated.
Therefore, the first thing he did after leaving was to send someone to investigate into Haylan’s background.
Due to the hasty nature of the investigation, it was not very thorough. He only knew that Haylan was the head of security for the Mapleturz Group.
Upon learning this, he flew into a rage.
A mysterious and noble traditional beauty walking hand in hand with a mere security guard, and still so sweetly in love?
To him, it was simply unimaginable. Subconsciously, he believed that Haylan was after Reign’s money, so he came back here to use money to drive Haylan away.
Haylan couldn’t help but laugh at his words. “So you’re trying to impose some pressure on me with money? Do you think you’re that rich?”
“Of course I am!”
Charlie, with an arrogant expression, said, “As a prince of the Crimson Kingdom, I’m incredibly wealthy. Name your price. whether it’s 100 million dollars, 200 million dollars, or even a billion dollars!”
“As you wish. Can I write any figure?” Haylan asked.
Charlie saw Haylan’s reaction and his expression turned cold, further confirming his belief that Haylan was only with Reign
for money.

So he said condescendingly. That’s right, you can write however big a number. I. the royal prince, have the final say.
Do you really mean it?
“Absolutely!”
“So, if I write any amount, you’ll give me that much money?”
Absolutely tniel As long as you write it, I will give you it! But the condition is that you must break up with Reign!”
“Okay, a gentleman keeps his word. Since you’ve said that, I will start filling it out.”
Haylan nodded and immediately picked up the check to start writing the numbers.
Seeing this, Yvonne’s anger flared up, and she glared at Haylan Haylan, you’ve gone too far. How can you betray Rei for money? Stop it right now!”
Haylan didn’t stop but continued writing the numbers.
“Haylan, stop it! Your actions are an insult to love!”
Yvonne became furious, stood up, and tried to snatch the check from Haylan’s hand.
Both she and Haylan liked Haylan, but it was evident that Haylan was more interested in Reign, instead of her.
When she learned that Haylan and Reign were in a relationship, she felt incredibly complex feelings. On the one hand, she was happy for Reign, but on the other hand, she mourned the loss of her own love.
Now, seeing Haylan willing to betray Reign for money, she felt a mix of urgency and anger, realizing that her love was misplaced
“Yvie, calm down, Lawrence said, trying to stop Yvonne.
“Don’t be so mad, Yvie,” Landon also chimed in, holding Yvonne back.
Why are you stopping me? You should be stopping Haylan instead! We can’t let him write that check,” Yvonne exclaimed in frustration.
She struggled desperately, but Haylan and Landon continued to hold her, preventing her from taking any further action. “Yvie, relax. Don’t be so hasty. Haylan is definitely not that kind of person. Let’s see what he’s going to do.” Lawrence said. “Yvie, we’ve spent so much time with Haylan. You don’t really think he’s greedy for money, do you?” Landon added.
“But, he…”
Yvonne hesitated, unwilling to believe his words, but seeing Haylan fervently writing on the check, she thought he was truly going to state the price.
“Haha, actually, all of you were deceived by Haylan’s false kindness and righteousness. This is his true nature–greedy, lustful, and obsessed with money,” Charlie proudly stated as he saw the reactions of Yvonne and the others.
“But he hid it well, and you didn’t notice it. Now I’ve exposed his true colors by offering just a little money.
“You three should thank me for helping Ms. Labenz and drive away this money–grubbing man.”
With that, he poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and reveled in his self–satisfaction.
“What do you mean?”
At that moment, Reign and Karren returned from afar.
