Samantha glanced at Adrian as she spoke.
Mandy heaved a sigh. With her keen intuition, she was able to read the situation.
‘He’s the great legate who’s countless times more powerful than Henry, yet he hasn’t told Ms. Samantha who he really is.’
Mandy smiled and said, “I suppose you could say Henry and I were friends. We worked together in the past and he was very nice to me. So, how could I be ungracious when his son and daughter-in-law need my help?”
In truth, Mandy had a little fling with Henry back then.
Samantha instantly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. ‘So she’s only being so courteous to me because of Henry.
“Thank you, Ms. Mandy.”
Mandy nodded and asked, “Would fifteen million dollars suffice?”
“Fifteen million dollars?!” Samantha exclaimed in shock.
Mandy was slightly startled before saying, “Let’s go with thirty million then.”
“Thirty million dollars?!?!?!” Samantha was even more shocked.
Confused, Mandy wondered why thirty million dollars was still insufficient for Samantha.
Just as she was about to increase her offer, Adrian stepped in and said, “That’s too much. Bailar won’t be able to handle receiving that much money. Let’s go with four million and five hundred thousand dollars instead, Mandy.”
Mandy smiled when she heard this.
Meanwhile, Samantha said, “Ms. Mandy, you offered me so much more than what I was going to ask for. My target is only three million.”
“Sure thing, let’s go with that number. I'll put in a request for that amount right away, but feel free to come back to me if it’s not enough,” Mandy said.
