This was the kind of opportunity she could only dream of.
"Okay, I agree to your terms. Now, givethe antidote," she stated.
The man nodded.
But Quincy couldn't help but chuckle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Look here, buddy, you're not a kid anymore, right? I mean, even if I hand over the antidote, there's no way I'm doing it for free! After all, I spent ages working on this thing..." Right now, she was in dire need of cash.
Paying off her classmates required money, and if she wanted to get on the good side of Everett's friends and maintain those relationships, she'd need even more cash! Plus, she had already asked her dad for money so many times that he was barely willing to support her anymore. If she asked again, he might cut her offpletely.
At this point, Quincy needed to secure herself a safety.
The man snorted with laughter, not too surprised by her opening bid.
"Alright, spit it out. How much do you want?" "Ten million." "Why don't you just hold up a bank?" Quincy patted his shoulder, e on, man, your words, not mine. You said you're into Dorothy, want to be with her. I'd say ten million for a shot at Dorothy is a steal, wouldn't you? Or is this all just an excuse, and you've got other plans?" "It's cool, no pressure. If you're not buying, we can et this conversation ever happened. But if you want the antidote, that's the price. Ten million." Quincy recited her phone number, "Think it over and hitup." She knew ten million was no small figure, so she walked away after laying out her terms.
Quincy was surprised the man didn't take a few days to mull it over.
But he caught up to her in just a few steps.
"Deal! Ten million, I'll buy it." Quincy blinked in surprise, thinking maybe she undersold it.
"Looks like you really do care about Dorothy." The man frowned, "That's none of your business." "Sure, it isn't. Just making an observation! Everett was head over heels for her before, and now here you are, ready to drop ten million for an antidote. Dorothy's one lucky girl." hovels "Her luck's got nothing to do with you! You'd better keep Everett away from her, that's all I care about!" "Don't worry, on that front, we're on the steam! Even without your input, I'd make sure of it." Quincy gave the man another look, this tmore evaluative.
She realized then that the man might be of mixed heritage? He definitely didn't look like your typical local.

Karen had a nightmare.
Chapter 1243 2 It infuriated Karen to the point of waking up angry! It took her a moment toe back to reality after opening her eyes.
And just then, Jeffrey walked in.
Seeing Karen awake, he hurried over, "Babe, how are you feeling?" "Not good!" "...What's wrong? I'll call the doctor right now!" Jeffrey reached for his phone to call the doctor.
Karen quickly stopped him.
"I'm just pissed off by a dream! I dreamt you were making up with Paige, abandoning our kids, and you even toldit wasn't her fault!" Chapter 1243 3 "That sounds nice now, but didn't you sleep with her before?" "..." Jeffrey's face was a mix of embarrassment and a wry smile, "Babe, didn't we agree to leave the past in the past?" mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflO&1
