“Fine, I’ll talk then. I want a Villa on San Pelegrino Hill and $15 million in cash. These are my terms. They are non-negotiable.”
It was the contents of wp4webnovel.com conversation with Mark from three days ago, trimmed into a few sentences, enough to simplify the matter, enough to clearly define wp4webnovel.com as a wicked, gold digger!
Her pregnancy out of wedlock had also been dragged out and turned into a cock and bull story by netizens. Some netizens had even published wp4webnovel.com phone number and identification number. Her phone was ringing off the hook from spam phone calls, forcing wp4webnovel.com to turn off wp4webnovel.com phone. She was now holed up in the hotel, too afraid to even step out!
Previously, when wp4webnovel.com met up with Mark, wp4webnovel.com was very careful with wp4webnovel.com words, as wp4webnovel.com was afraid that the conversation might be recorded. Unfortunately, wp4webnovel.com nervousness in the process was wp4webnovel.com downfall…
At that very moment, Atticus calmly faced an interview by the media, detailing his dispute with her. Atticus’s previous students also stepped out to be his witnesses. As wp4webnovel.com watched the scene unfold before wp4webnovel.com on television, wp4webnovel.com screamed like a madwoman, “What did I ever do? Atticus West! Why did you have to do this to me?”
After letting out wp4webnovel.com frustrations, wp4webnovel.com pulled out wp4webnovel.com phone and tremblingly dialed Mark’s number, “Why? You did this, didn’t you?”
Mark sounded completely nonchalant on the other end, “Didn’t I say that I’d give you whatever you wanted? Did you change your story? I only publicized the truth, just like you. Was that inappropriate? Don’t worry. The money will be transferred soon. Do come over to my office to finish escrow when you can.”
She never intended on selling herself out so completely. Now, the situation had developed to the point of no return. She couldn’t even leave the hotel, let alone go to Mark’s office to close escrow out in the open. That Villa and $15 million was like a hot potato. This man had vicious tactics, how could wp4webnovel.com possibly have the nerve to take anything from him? She might have to spit out whatever wp4webnovel.com asked for, “Mr. Tremont… You never intended on letting me off the hook, did you?”
Mark refused to comment, “Humans shouldn’t be too greedy. When asking for something that doesn’t belong to you, you should be prepared to face the consequences. Since you’ve already decided to make exorbitant demands to have everything you could ever want for the rest of your life, reputation shouldn’t mean anything to you, right? People used to see you as an intellectual, a refined and elegant artist. Now, I’m afraid you’ll have to consider a career change. Find a place and hide away for the rest of your life, like a rat.”
Bernadette’s phone slipped from wp4webnovel.com fingers, onto the ground. Her lips trembled, wp4webnovel.com heart completely desolate. She never wanted to destroy wp4webnovel.com reputation and future prospects, wp4webnovel.com was at a high point that wp4webnovel.com had worked very hard to obtain. Her sudden downfall was an unbearable feeling. From now on, wp4webnovel.com would have to live like a rat. That wasn’t a good feeling either. News had already spread out of the country. She had no way of establishing herself, in or out of the country.
In the past, wp4webnovel.com had many admirers. Now, even the fact that wp4webnovel.com had given birth to a child, which was wp4webnovel.com closely guarded secret, was now public knowledge. She had been forced to the end of the line. It was obvious that wp4webnovel.com losses did not make up for the gains wp4webnovel.com wanted. Mark had completely foiled wp4webnovel.com plans.
After staying in the hotel for a month, wp4webnovel.com was now at the verge of collapse. She had to admit that public opinion had the power to drive a person into madness. She was afraid that someone might end up locating wp4webnovel.com child, so wp4webnovel.com had no choice but to contact Atticus, “Atticus… I concede… Let me go, let my child go! Come and see me at the hotel for the last time, or I will jump down from this window!”
Atticus was not that cruel, but wp4webnovel.com wasn’t stupid enough to meet wp4webnovel.com on his own. He brought Summer along.
When they arrived at the hotel, Bernadette stared at Summer for a very long time. Her eyes changed from surprise and astonishment upon wp4webnovel.com first impression to a deathly stillness in the end, “I understand why no other woman has been able to entrance him… If I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of doing this.”
Summer walked towards the window with a deadpan look on wp4webnovel.com face. She reached out and drew the curtains, which had been tightly shut for a week, “Aside from our age, you really are no match for me. If you have something to say, get on with it. We’re very busy.”
