Chapter 13 Demanding an Exorbitant Price

After working hard for approximately 30 minutes, Gianna finally stopped. Her face was

covered in a sheen of sweat

as she looked up at the crowd around her. “Don‘t worry; Old Man Nolan will be fine. He will

wake up in ten minutes if nothing unexpected occurs.” The entire scene was

silent, and nobody

said a word. Only Penny spoke up in discontent, “My grandpa is going to wake up just beca

use you poked some needles into him? What the hell are you bragging about?” Even so,

her eyes

were glued to the old man lying on the bed as if she was trying to verify Gianna‘s words. O

other hand, Gianna ignored her. Instead, she sat by the side, resting. “Here, Mommy.” Sout

h handed her a handkerchief that he had prepared beforehand. Taking it from him, she smi

led and stroked his head. “Thanks, South.” As she wiped at her sweat,

she glanced over at Silas again, and her lips curled into a smile. “President Nolan, my cons

ultation fee is 50 million.” Similarly, the corners of Silas‘s mouth lifted slightly. Then, he re

ached his hand out behind him.

Xavier immediately handed him a check. He took the check and subsequently placed it in

her hand.

“You do demand an exorbitant price, Miss Aubrey.” His smile

hinted at a smugness of having already foreseen her actions.

She was momentarily taken aback by the check in his hand.

D*mn it! I asked for too little! The feeling that she had asked for too little intensified–

even more so when she saw the nasty smile tugging at his lips. She glared at him fiercely

and reached out her hand

to take the check. However, she did not expect a figure to rush over suddenly and snatch t

he check out of her hands before the check could even absorb the warmth from her hands

. Thus, Gianna frowned before turning around to look at Penny, who had snatched the che

ck out of her hands. “Grandpa has not woken up yet, and you already want to leave after

accepting the money? What if something happens to Grandpa? Where are we

going to find you?” Penny said righteously. Gianna felt her

temper rising. Stifling the urge to hit somebody, she lifted her gaze and glared at Silas. “Is

this how you treat your benefactor? By biting the hand that fed

you?”

Even Silas had not expected Penny to do something like that. Hence, his expression imme

diately darkened. At the same time, a hostile aura flared out from his body, and he said da

rkly, “Hand it over.” Penny scowled but did not move an inch. “Silas,

don‘t be deceived by her! Grandpa isn’t awake

yet! Who knows what she did to him just now?”

He frowned slightly at her words and looked over at the old man lying on the bed. Althoug

h he didn‘t know what Gianna did

to Old Man Nolan just now, he could tell that his grandpa‘s condition was much better than

before. “I trust her!” he said.

Gianna was rather astonished to hear those words. She never expected him to say those

three

words that held so much power in them. Thus, most of the resentment and anger that had

built up in her heart dissipated. I guess this guy can speak human too.

“Forget it; I don‘t mind waiting until Old Man Nolan wakes up. It won‘t take more than a fe

w minutes anyway,” she said nonchalantly.

Penny

widened her eyes suddenly upon hearing those words. “Silas, have you gone crazy? God k

nows where this woman came from; how can you believe her words?” The frown on Silas‘s

face did not let up. If anything, his expression became colder. He glared at Penny, then he

said in a voice that allowed no doubts and carried an immense pressure behind it, “Since

when do you hold the authority to get the final say in this house?”

Penny‘s expression became awkward, and she said petulantly, “I didn‘t say we won‘t give it

the safe side and pay her after Grandpa wakes

up.” After that, he took the check out of her hands and walked over to Gianna. “Miss

Aubrey, here is your consultation fee. Also, I didn‘t mean to

outbid you during the auction last night out of malice. I bid on the Wuyou San because I wa

of surprise flitted across Silas‘s eyes. Then, he lowered his eyes and studied the

woman in front of him. I see; she was trying to obtain it to treat Grandpa‘s illness.
