Chapter 536
Seeing Brandon and the others keeping quiet, Julian couldn’t help but find the situation strange. “Mr. Atkinson, did something happen? Haven’t they arrived yet?”
Brandon was feeling extremely awkward and he didn’t know how to explain.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the door. “We arrived a long time ago.”
Julian turned around and was overjoyed when he saw Matthew and Eddie standing at the door. He quickly rushed over and said, “Oh, I finally found both of you. What happened to you two? My calls weren’t getting through, and I have been circling around here a few times. So how is it? Did everything go well?” Julian laughed.
“It went extremely well!” Matthew sneered. “They promised to completely cut ties with their daughter for one million dollar as her betrothal gift!”
When he heard this, Julian frowned instantly. “What do you mean?”
Director Zook looked at Brandon quickly. His instincts were telling him sh*t was about to hit the fan.
Brandon’s face turned red from shock and anger.
Matthew then told Julian what had happened earlier.
After hearing what he said, Julian was furious.
He turned to look at Brandon and asked angrily, “Did you really say all this?”
Brandon smiled awkwardly. “Ah, all of this is just a misunderstanding. Um, let’s… let’s take a seat first and talk about it. Laura, go make some tea.”
Laura came over with a tea cup, but Julian stopped her. “One million, right? Very well. I’ll have someone send the money over now!”
Julian took out his phone and ordered someone to send one million over immediately.
Brandon and the rest panicked. Even if he was a fool, he knew that he couldn’t take the one million. If he really took the one million, he would completely offend Julian.
By then, if Julian decided to target them, they would be finished. They would probably even lose their jobs.
On the contrary, if they established a relationship with Julian, they could enjoy a lot of benefits in the future!
“Ah, I-I was just kidding. Eddie, hurry up and ask your friend to come and sit. Oh my, I’m really sorry for showing such poor hospitality.” Brandon put up a smile as he said this.
Eddie lowered his head, not saying anything.
Julian waved his hand directly. “Don’t bother, the money will be here soon. We’ll come and pick up Wendy tomorrow.”
Brandon was embarrassed and said quickly, “Since you’re already here, you’re our guest. Come, have a seat. Let’s discuss the details of the wedding.”
They ignored him, and both Matthew and Julian didn’t go inside and take a seat.
Laura couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Hey, why are you being so arrogant? So what if you drive a Porsche? Who do you think you are to come to my house and act so arrogantly? What’s so great about a Porsche? My husband also has a Porsche, but why don’t I see him behaving so pompously?”
Brandon also looked at Matthew and Julian coldly. He was also furious inside as he felt that both Matthew and Julian were looking down on him.
“Who’s being arrogant?” Julian sneered. “You guys were the one who asked for one million as a betrothal gift, like this is all your daughter is worth. Since this is just a transaction, why do we need to build a relationship with each other? When the money’s here, we will take Wendy with us. It’s that simple. What’s with all the nonsense?”
Brandon’s expression darkened considerably.
He could see that Julian was really mad and judging from the current situation, it was highly unlikely that they could have a good relationship with him.
He thought about it for a while and resolved himself. “It won’t be that simple!” he said behind clenched teeth.
“We’ve now changed our minds and one million is not enough! We want ten million!”
With that one sentence, everyone in the house turned to look at him at the same time.
Director Zook panicked. “Brandon, have you gone mad? Have you ever heard of anyone asking for ten million as a betrothal gift? Even in Eastcliff, I haven’t heard of a betrothal gift this expensive!”
