Chapter 374 Ernest was genuinely baffled .
He wondered where on earth this brazen kid came from , daring to challenge him over and over .
Andrews eyes glinted coldly as he said calmly , And what if I said I dont believe you ? Ernests lips twitched with rage as he turned to Natasha with a scowl .
Natasha , are you going to rein in this punk or not ? If you wont , Ill call my men right now and make sure hes left for dead in the street ! Natasha shot Andrew a quick glare .
This troublemaker of hers was certainly bold , comparing Ernest to garbage and calling him old and washed up it was a direct attack on his pride .
If Andrew wanted that rare medicinal herb so badly , it would make more sense to hold back and endure a little .
Forcing a smile , Natasha turned to Ernest and said , Ernest , please dont be angry .
Mr.
Lloyd is young , and sometiines he can be a little impulsive .
Ill apologize on his behalf .
She gave him a placating smile , trying to diffuse the tension .
Yet , Ernests frustration was not so easily soothed .
He jabked a finger in Andrews direction , his cigar bobbing between his fingers .
Ernest grumbled .
Youre lucky Natasha stepped in for you , kid .
Otherwise , Id teach you a lesson you wouldnt forget ! He was arrogant and determined to show Natasha his dominance .
He wanted her to see that compared to this young punk , he was the real deal the one with power and authority .
Natasha forced another smile .
Ernest , since youre willing to let it slide , how about we focus on the rare medicinal herb you have ? Mr.
Lloyd is truly interested in purchasing it .
Just name a fair price , and well gladly meet your terms .
Ernest sneered , his expression smug .
Fine , Natasha , since youre asking so sincerely , Im not an unreasonable man .
I wont even ask you to be with me anymore .
Just spend one night with me , and Ill sell the Aurora Lotus to this punk .
Of course , it wont come cheap at least 50 million .
Anything less is a no go ! Natashas face darkened immediately .
Ernest , we can talk about the money .
In fact , were even willing to increase the offer .
But as for your other condition , Im sorry , I simply cant agree to that .
Perhaps we can negotiate a different arrangement ? Ernest blew a ring of smoke and chuckled sinisterly .
Do I look like someone whos short on money , Natasha ? To be clear , Im not here for the cash .
Ive got my eyes on you , widow , and Im not letting it go until I get what I want .
Natasha fumed inwardly , infuriated that this old pervert was still lusting after her .
Yet , with Ernests wealth and influence , outright rejecting him was not wise .
1/2 # On top of that , Andrew still needed that Aurora Lotus .
At that moment , Andrew finally lost his patience Pointing toward the door , he said coldly , Enough .
If youre done , the doors right there .
Feel free to leave .
Ernests face turned dark as he snapped , What do you mean by that ? Are you saying you dont want the Aurora Lotus anymore ? Andrew smirked .
Dont worry , Ill get it from you .
And when I do , youll be on your knees begging me to take it .
Ernest froze for a second before bursting into will laughter .
You little punk , are you trying to kill me with laughter ? You think Im going to kneel and beg ? Who do you think you are ? Some hotshot ? Youre just a nobody ! Natasha was just as stunned , wondering what nonsense Andrew was saying now .noveldrama
Ernest groveling and handing over the herb willingly ? That would be about as likely as pigs could finally fly .
