NovelEnglishNathan's eyes glammed, he was both surprised and pleased that Avery cut to the chase.
"| told Elliot to give15 million..." "15 million?" Desperate to end the torture, she interrupted him and said, "I'l pay you!" Nathan burst out laughing. "You are so short-tempered! Do you hatethis much? If the two of you act like you hate me, it's hard forto leave.” Avery flushed and threatened, "Stay and see if Elliot would kill you!" She knew that when facing shameless men like Nathan, the only way to control them was to be more vicious than they were; besides, it was not entirely a threat. If he overstepped the boundaries, there was a high chance that Elliot would kill him.

It was bad enough to be threatened by Elliot, but to be threatened by his soon-to-be daughter-in-law was humiliating.
"Tell him to ckillthen! If he kills me, my eldest son will make sure that everyone in this country knows what a barbaric beast Elliot Foster is!" Nathan shouted.
Avery glanced at the door to the private room and was instantly relieved that the waiters did not hear them. She had chosen to meet with him in private precisely to avoid being overheard if they started fighting.
"Once everyone knows, and then what?" Avery calmed herself and questioned sharply, "With Elliot's power and status in Aryadelle, it's easy to kill you off without anyone knowing! If your son dares to cause a scene in Aryadelle, he would end up just like you! Take the money and leave! That's your best way out!" "Fine! | agree to take the money and leave! | will leave if you give15 million each month!" Nathan leaned back against the chair with an expression that clearly stated ‘pay or I will fight you to the end".
Avery gasped at his audacity and exclaimed in her mind, "15 million a month?! Does he think of Elliot andas ATMs? Even if we have the means to make money, we can't possibly just hand it out for nothing! All money is hard-earned money, so who does Nathan think he is to just take it from someone that easily? He has never even raised Elliot. He doesn't deserve that much money!" "Tsk tsk! You two are so stingy! | did my research >a$:XIP? | know you are rich!" Nathan said enviously, "If you two refuse to pay, then..." "I have one condition!" Avery swiftly made the decision after a brief moment of thought. "Give Adrian to me! You don't even treat him like a human-being, so hand him over to me!" "How are we not treating him like a humanbeing?" Nathan gaped and said, "Speak properly. Why are you insulting us? He is my youngest son!" "He is Shea's brother. Do | really need to say that out loud?" Avery no longer wanted to beat around the bushes with him. "You swapped Adrian with Elliot, otherwise, how would you explain how Elliot ended up as the Foster's young master?” An evil smile appeared on Nathan's face.” Nothing goes unnoticed by you, Doctor Tate! If you know that Adrian is the true young master of the Foster Family, then you should know that 15 million a month would not suffice. The young master of the Foster Family is worth a lot; why else would | keep him well-fed up until now?" Avery's temple started to hurt.

30 million a month would add up to 360 million, that's a better life than sCEOs of small enterprises; it was enough for him to live out the rest of his life in luxury.
'‘Baam!' Avery slammed her palms onto the table and got up.
There was no point in continuing the meeting or the conversation. It was the bottom line for her to offer Nathan 15 million a month; if Nathan had accepted it, nothing would have happened.
She knew that Nathan had called her only because he failed to negotiate with Elliot. Elliot was much richer than her and the only possible reason that Elliot refused to pay Nathan had to be that he couldn't get past himself, not because of the money.
