Chapter: 191
Theodore nodded. “Yes, name your price,” he said again.
“Then I want this much.” Fitzgerald made a gesture and named a shocking price.
Without any hesitation, Theodore took out a pen, and wrote a check for double what he asked for and handed it over.
Fitzgerald took it with a smile and said, “Really, that much? Thank you!”
Theodore smiled back, before putting away his pen and saying indifferently, “That’s not that much. I also buy both of your arms.”
@
Fitzgerald’s eyes widened. Before he could react properly, he was being dragged away by the bodyguards.
Horace rolled the windows up to stop his boss from hearing the screams.
Then, the car drove away slowly.
Horace couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, isn’t your checkbook in my briefcase? What was that just now?”
“Fake,” Theodore answered briefly and closed his eyes.
Horace smiled in amusement. “What a trick.” He seemed impressed.
Then Horace asked, “By the way, Ms. Edwards and others shouldn’t have gone far. Would you Like me to drive after them?”
After some pause, Theodore said, “No, we go back.”
Horace stole a glance at Theodore in the rearview mirror. His boss was frowning and checking his phone frequently. Horace
sighed, It seemed Theodore was worried about Ariana. He wondered why his boss was so stubborn, and thought he might lose
Ariana if he continued to act like this.
But Horace didn’t dare to say anything. He obeyed his boss’s orders and drove back to the company. @
Learning from previous experience, Ariana was worried that reporters would be waiting for them in the hotel. So, she decided to
follow Aziel to his private residence to have a rest.
The apartment was well secured and an outsider wouldn’t be allowed in easily. It was surrounded by similar buildings.
Strictly speaking, it was a residential area for rich people.
There was no need to worry about security here, let alone reporters and paparazzi.
After making sure Sarah and Alina were settled in, Ariana and Betsy discussed the luggage. They wouldn’t be able to live in that
hotel anymore since reporters might be waiting for them there.
Eventually, they decided that Betsy would go back to the hotel to pack up their stuff and see what the situation was like there.
Since Betsy was new to the company and rarely seen with Sarah, most of the reporters would be unlikely to be familiar with her.
@
Betsy soon took a taxi over to the hotel. @
Ariana breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for herself and Sarah.
Sarah had calmed down and was talking to Alina in a calm voice.
