Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Finley sneered, his voice laced with sarcasm

You think using some reversé psychology is going to make me play the sucker and hand over more money? Andrew shook his head with a serious expression.

You misunderstand, Mr.

Moore

Im not trying to provoke you.

This isnt about greed for money

He gestured around them and added, This is Moonlit Apothecary Jayrodales most upscale medical center

Were hosting some of the top figures in the city today.

When guests give gifts here, were talking hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions in cash or more. Andrew glanced pointedly at the cash Finley had handed over earlier.

And yet, you come here and offer a measly 1500 bucks.

I mean, really, Mr.

Moore, how can someone of your standing think thats enough? Finley clenched his jaw.

Thats on them if they wanna throw money around like idiots! I wasnt even invited here, Andrew.

You cant expect me to be held to the same standard ! Andrew chuckled softly.

Oh, if thats the issue, then allow me to formally invite you now.

Finley laughed angrily, his fists tightening on the table.

Too late for that.

Even with your little invitation, Im not about to kiss your ass and hand you more cash! Dont forget, we still have a few scores to settle

Andrew was unfazed by the hostility, flashing a smile.

Alright, fair enough.

But whether you were invited or not, the fact is you came here, ate our food, and drank our wine, the same as the other guests

That makes you obligated to contribute to the occasion, doesnt it? Finleys eye twitched in frustration, wondering if Andrew was serious

He wanted to punch Andrew, but the bastards logic actually made sense.

Finley muttered curses under his breath, realizing he had trapped himself.

He had eaten here.

If word got out that he stiffed the host after dining like a king, his reputation would take a hit.

After checking his pockets and realizing he was out of cash.

Finley sighed and turned to his men.

Empty your wallets

Were giving him what he wants.

The Hidden Dragons men scowled but grudgingly complied

After all, they thought the food was nothing grand, and the 1500 dollars were more than enough.

Collectively, they managed to scrape together another 5000 dollars, which Finley slammed on the table in front of Andrew

Here 5000 dollars! Thats more than enough now! Andrew calmly handed the cash to Lauren.

Lauren, count it, please.

We wouldnt want to be shortehanged

Of course! Lauren giggled, clearly enjoying the situation as she began counting the bills.noveldrama

Finleys face twitched in pure rage as he thought, Seriously? He doesnt even trust me to hand over the

full amount? He could not believe how greedy Andrew was.

After a few moments, Lauren smiled and announced, 5328 dollars, Dr.

Lloyd ! Andrew nodded in satisfaction before turning his gaze back to Finley.

His eyes twinkled mischievously as he leaned closer.

You know, Mr.

Moore, all totaled, your contribution is just a little over 6000 dollars.

Its almost....

insulting.

Youre not trying to short change me, are you? Finleys face turned a deep shade of red as he glared daggers at Andrew.

He finally understood Andrew was not going to let him off without squeezing every last dime.
