Yigol Novak saw the number Tianna Riverside sent and sneered. After showing it to Suri Drew, he asked, “My wife, is money no longer worth something in this era? This woman is asking for two hundred million dollars right off the bat. Is she taking me for a fool, or is she just incredibly greedy?”
“Does she think she’s so capable that she can just use a few tricks to make me cough up so much money?
When Suri saw the message, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Two hundred million dollars?
That’s an amount regular people wouldn’t be able to earn in several lifetimes, and Tianna Riverside is asking for it right away?
It took Suri countless hardships to establish her own company and achieve its current results, and it was just around 10 million dollars. Nevertheless, she was already considered quite successful.
She rarely even mentioned sums in the hundreds of millions.
But Tianna Riverside was so confident, asking for two hundred million dollars right away. Did she think it was just paper and not actual money?
“Is this woman truly greedy or just too self-confident? She actually dares to propose such exaggerated conditions. Honey, do you have some secrets with her that I don’t know about?” Suri playfully guessed.
Even though Suri sounded angry, she was just teasing Yigol. After all they’ve been through, they both had a certain level of understanding and trust in each other.
Yigol replied, “She’s just too greedy. This number is indeed beyond my expectations. I thought if she asked for a couple of million or tens of millions, she’d already be pretty greedy. I didn’t expect her to be even greedier than I imagined. ”
“I’ll leave her hanging for now and see how she reacts.”
Yigol didn’t reply to Tianna’s message, and after about five minutes, she indeed sent another message.
Tianna Riverside: “Yigol Novak, what, do you think two hundred million dollars is too much? Let me tell you, I’m an influencer. Under normal
circumstances, my annual income is in the tens of millions of dollars. But of course, it’s nothing compared to a tycoon like you. Unlike you guys, I have to work to make money.”
“For people like you, two hundred million dollars is just a small amount, especially if it’s for saving face. You guys care about face the most, right?”
“Although we haven’t developed any kind of relationship, I’ve sent you photos, and you replied, even taking the initiative to meet me. If I release those screenshots, what do you think the netizens will say? Even if you have money, you can’t change the opinions of people online and everyone around you.”
“I don’t care, worst case scenario, I won’t stream anymore. But even if I die, I’m going to drag you down with me. When the news is all over, what will your family think? What will your wife’s family think? What will your relatives and friends think?”
“I believe you know better than I do how complicated tycoon families can be. If it affects your company’s business, you’ll easily lose billions of dollars, won’t you? Compared to the two hundred million dollars I’m asking for, which one is more?”
“Yigol Novak, I have all the time in the world for you to think it over slowly, but don’t take too long, as I’m not a patient person.”
Yigol saw Tianna’s message and laughed, “How naive, my dear! Don’t you think she’s rather flighty? Are all you women like that?”
“I’m not some tycoon, but a poor young man from the countryside who just happened to get lucky and have what I have now. Compared to those tycoon families, there’s a world of difference. This woman must watch too much high-society drama on TV, vastly overestimating her intellect. She thinks her skills can stir up great whirlwinds.”
“I never thought that in this woman’s eyes, I am so capable.”
Suri shook her head and said, “People like her shouldn’t even be called women. They’re simply drama queens, brainless ones at that, shamelessly discrediting us women. She wants two hundred million dollars? After all, you have plenty of money to give her.”
Yigol replied, “Wife, I don’t agree with that. It’s true that I don’t lack money, but that doesn’t mean anyone can spend it. If it’s for you, I don’t care about the amount, but for her, not even a single cent.”
Suri asked, “Didn’t you do the same with Linda Janell before? She wanted a hundred million dollars from you, but you gave her a billion dollars instead, and then made a profit of almost ten billion dollars. But Tianna Riverside doesn’t have that much interest to give you.”
Yigol consoled her, “Wife, I do have to give her money, but I can’t just give it to her so easily. I need to make her angry, let her threaten me in various ways so I have no choice but to give her money. That way, when we go to court, it’ll be in our favor.”
“If her actions aren’t too serious, her punishment will be lighter. People like her must be dealt a heavy blow, so they can understand the stupidity of their actions.”
Suri nodded knowingly, “Alright, please continue your performance and make her anxious so that she’ll reveal what’s truly on her mind.”
Yigol nodded and answered, “Okay, my dear, just sit back and enjoy the show.”
Yigol replied to Tianna, “Do you have some serious illness? Two hundred million dollars, do you think you’re worth that much? No matter how great you are, you won’t necessarily make that much in your entire lifetime. Just for those disgusting photos? Seriously?”
“Besides, those photos were sent by you on your own. Did I ask for them? Also, I’m not any tycoon like you think. I’m just a delivery guy, and because of a few buildings, you want to extort me? Regardless of whether I can afford the two hundred million dollars or not, your actions are already a crime.”
“You’d better stop your foolish behavior before you pay a price for it. This is a society ruled by law, not one where you can act recklessly.”
Worried, Suri asked Yigol, “Honey, do you think your response might scare her off? What if she doesn’t dare to ask for money anymore?”
Yigol confidently replied, “Don’t worry. Remember, Tianna Riverside is both foolish and overconfident, and she loves making assumptions. She won’t be scared off so easily. If she could be, there wouldn’t be any of these incidents later on, and she wouldn’t have the guts to ask me for two hundred million dollars. ”
“She’s already convinced I’m some rich big shot, so no matter what I say, she won’t believe it. The more I deny it, the more she’ll think I’m just trying to cover it up, and she’ll grow even more confident in her own intelligence. When a person believes in something, they won’t change their mind easily.”
“In her view, my warning is just a minor annoyance. If things go as planned, her next move will be bold as she gets frustrated with my continual unwillingness to give her money. She’ll likely lose her temper..”
