Chapter 746 Dangerous
Veronica sipped some tea and popped a piece of the dessert into her mouth. She pretended she had no idea what they were talking about. The snack she picked up was pink and petal-shaped. It was soft, sweet, and delicious. Huh. They make good desserts.
“Hayley must have told you a lot, Miss Murphy. You should know no good will come from making an enemy out of me. I can give you two options.” Liam translated everything.
Veronica stayed silent for a moment to play along with them. She didn’t want them to know she understood what they were talking about. “Tell me.”
“One, if you want to stay, then you’ll have to work with me. I can give you glory and fortune. Two, I’ll pay you to leave. You’re set for life with that kind of money.” Tanya was a smart woman. If this was something money could settle, she would be generous about the amount.
“Another tempting offer. So, how much are you paying?” Veronica sat up straighter and stared straight at Tanya in anticipation.
“Forty-three million.” Tanya raised four fingers and made an offer she deemed was generous.
Veronica stopped shoving the dessert into her mouth, and she blinked. “Forty-three million?”
“A lot, and I won’t deny it, but you know we’re friends. I’ve never tried to hurt you, and leaving this place is good for you. You overestimate the Elrods. They’re no match for the leader. You have no idea what’s going to happen to them,” he explained patiently.
He spoke in Trilas. Liam knew what Hendrey was talking about, but he didn’t translate it for his mother. Hurriedly, Tanya asked, “What are they talking about?”
“Hendrey’s convincing her to leave,” he answered curtly.
“150 million on top of my original offer. Best deal. Leave, and I’ll make sure your departure is a safe one.” Compared to the potential chaos that would happen in the clan, 150 million was nothing. Tanya leaned back and looked at Veronica coldly. “Stay, and you’ll lose more than you gain.”
