Chapter 458: 458

“What did you say?”

Jennifer Lopez even doubted if she had heard wrong.

Not lacking money?

If it were a wealthy heir from the capital saying such a word, she might not be surprised. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But for a son-in-law from a second-tier family in a small coastal city like Gonzalez City to dare to say he didn’t lack money in front of her?

He was inviting humiliation upon himself!

“Is Mr. Reed clear about how much money I am offering you?”

Jennifer Lopez lightly flicked her finger, leisurely picked up her teacup, and returned to her previous indifferent demeanor, “Or shall I say, how much do you think I plan to give you?”

In her opinion, someone like Julius Reed from such an insignificant place must be without much insight and would think she was only willing to pay a few hundred thousand.

But even if it was in the millions, what difference would that make to Jennifer Lopez and her spending money?

The most capable middle-aged members of the Lopez Family, Jennifer Lopez was the wealthiest.

She controlled the businesses of five major shops in the capital, with daily turnovers amounting to tens of millions.

Would she care about this small sum of money?

“Indeed, Boss Lopez’s words carry such an imposing aura!”

Julius Reed leaned forward and whispered, “How much do you plan to give?”

He was someone who would never complain about having too much money.

Even if his wealth was innumerable, he would still save every penny.

A personal hobby.

Nothing more.

Facing such an intimate gesture from Julius Reed, Jennifer Lopez instinctively stepped back, and her bodyguard also stepped forward as if ready to act the moment Julius Reed made any inappropriate move.

“Mr. Reed, I’d like to hear your quote first,” Jennifer Lopez said with a slight sneer, her arms lightly folded, “Generally speaking, as long as you name your price, I am willing to satisfy it. Unless you have no sincerity and want to ask for an exorbitant amount. I, Jennifer Lopez, am not foolish. Although I’m not short of money, I won’t give it away blindly. I hope you understand that.”

She applied pressure first, then showed her sincerity.

This made her words seem very genuine.

In order to retrieve the disgracing video of her son, Jennifer Lopez didn’t care about the consequences.

“How about this number,” Julius Reed said, extending a five-finger hand and lightly shaking it.

“Five million?” Jennifer Lopez raised an eyebrow, which was the highest amount she imagined Julius Reed would suggest!

For a good-for-nothing, five million was enough for a lifetime of carefree living!

“I’ll give you fifty million!” Jennifer Lopez waved her hand and instructed the man behind her, “Give him fifty million, contact the bank to transfer it now.”

“Understood!”

Jordan Martin nodded, walked up to Julius Reed, and snorted coldly, “Give me your card number!”

This attitude was blatantly disdainful and contemptuous!

It was like giving alms.

“Sorry, I meant fifty billion!”

Julius Reed shook his head, “Miss Lopez is a renowned socialite of the capital; if your son is only worth fifty million, that would be an insult to you. I’m not wrong, am I?”

He leaned back, stretched lazily, “And someone in the capital who wanted this video from me claimed to be Zane Percival’s uncle. They offered quite a high price, directly giving me ten billion. But I’m not foolish. How could I possibly give it to them for ten billion?”

Upon hearing this, Jennifer Lopez’s face changed dramatically!

The capital, uncle?

Isn’t that just my own brother!

Most of the Lopez Family opposed Zane Percival entering Gonzalez City!

Because once Zane Percival set foot in the capital, it meant that an outsider was about to share in the Lopez family’s fortune.

Only because Old Master Lopez was still alive, even though the Lopez family members were very dissatisfied, they could only set traps for him behind his back.

But Old Master Lopez was getting on in years, and he probably only had a few more years to live.

Once they lost the support of the Family Head, Zane Percival taking over the Lopez Family was nearly impossible!

Therefore, Jennifer Lopez accelerated her efforts in the past few years, desperately paving the way for Zane Percival, seeking to let Old Master Lopez, while still alive, grant Zane Percival some control over the Lopez Family’s business.

After all, Jennifer Lopez herself was the actual controller of five large shops, and with just a nod from Old Master Lopez, the transition for Zane Percival was just a matter of time.

The other Lopez family members realized this as well, so they desperately tried to stop it, hoping to delay until Old Master Lopez passed away!

Once Old Master Lopez was gone, it would be next to impossible for Jennifer Lopez to bring Zane Percival into the Lopez Family!

Now, hearing that Zane Percival’s uncle wanted to get the video, Jennifer Lopez immediately panicked.

Although she wanted to remain calm, her brief lapse had already been noticed by Julius Reed.

“Mr. Reed’s way of speaking sure is runaway,” said Jennifer Lopez. “If it’s really like that, then I’ll save money. After all, Zane Percival’s uncle will give me the video once he gets it.”

Jennifer Lopez grew more and more afraid.

Although the Lopez family members were unaware of this matter, there is no wall in the world that doesn’t leak. She believed that her brothers and sisters had definitely planted spies in Gonzalez City and were just waiting for Zane Percival to slip up.

“Ms. Lopez has too little sincerity! Not willing to sleep with me, nor wanting to pay up! Why should I give you the video?”

Julius Reed stood up directly, somewhat displeased, “If that’s the case, then I might as well sell it for ten billion!”

After saying this, Julius Reed turned to walk towards the stairs of the Flower Building.

“Hold on!”

Just as Julius Reed’s foot had stepped onto the stairs, Jennifer Lopez’s voice rang out from behind.

At the same time, Jordan Martin, like a gust of wind, appeared instantly at the top of the stairs, stretching out his hand to block Julius Reed’s path!

“What’s this? A robbery? Or murder?” Julius Reed shrugged his shoulders, appeared somewhat helpless, and said, “It seems like Miss Lopez is holding a banquet with a hidden agenda here, I regret coming!”

“But the video isn’t on my phone, after all,” continued Julius Reed. “With Miss Lopez’s reputation at stake, I always have to be cautious.”

Upon hearing this, Jennifer Lopez’s face darkened. She waved at Jordan Martin, “Move aside! Mr. Reed is my guest, didn’t I teach you how to treat a guest?”

“Yes, Family Head!”

Jordan Martin bowed deeply and slowly retreated.

“Mr. Reed, I owe you an apology!”

Jennifer Lopez stood up from her seat, holding her teacup aloft, “My subordinate was too reckless, please don’t take it personally. As for the video, I think we need to have a good talk.”

She took a sip of her tea with a smile, “After all, we really should talk in detail about ten billion or more, shouldn’t we?”

“That’s true!” replied Julius Reed, turning back around with a puzzled look. “Are you saying you actually want to talk now?”

“No killing me anymore?” He asked.

“Mr. Reed, you do have a sense of humor,” said Jennifer Lopez with a sincere smile. “I invited you here today for tea and to talk business; how could I possibly harm you!”

Both knew very well how false that smile was on Jennifer Lopez’s face.

For someone who had struck her son, Jennifer Lopez wished she could tear him to shreds!

But now that the video wasn’t with Julius Reed, she had to abandon the idea of killing him.

Or rather, it was a gamble she couldn’t afford to lose!

If Julius Reed dared to come so confidently, he might have arranged things in advance so that if something happened to him, the video would immediately leak out.

Then, even if Jennifer Lopez wanted to pay a hundred billion, she wouldn’t be able to clear things up.

“As long as you’re not killing me, that’s fine. So, how much are you willing to pay? Let’s make it clear first, it can’t be less than ten billion!”

Julius Reed said, standing.
