    “Ten billion dors?”


    Selina froze.


    She was stunned.


    Soon, she frowned.


    Then, she could not helpughing mockingly. “Are you that crazy about money?”


    Miranda thought rence was messing around, so she stepped forward to advise, “rence, knock it off.


    “Even if the Lawson family is rich, no one would ask for ten billion dors to treat Selina’s dad’s illness. You’re being greedy.”


    “It’s not just anyone asking for it, it’s me,” rence replied tly.


    He nced at Bob, who was terminally ill. “As the richest man in Maple Country, Bob is extremely important.


    “Once he dies, the Lawson family’s influence in Maple Country will be greatly diminished.”


    rence smiled. “I can keep Bob alive for five more years, which is enough time for the Lawson family to get all their affairs in order.


    “Its value would be hard to measure, but we can forget about ten billion dors. Even twenty, thirty, or fifty billion would be worth it!”


    “You...” Miranda suddenly felt like rence was someone she did not know. She had not even thought about that.


    She had only seen the ten billion real estate order Selina had given her, not see the potential crisis the Lawson family would face.


    “But you don’t have to be so greedy, do you?


    “Can’t you just ask for one or two hundred million?” Miranda frowned.


    She sighed. “You can’t be so greedy. One or two hundred million is enough tost you for an entire lifetime.”


    rence did not back down. “Ten billion, and not a cent less.”


    Selina was crimson with anger. “You bastard, are you really asking for ten billion dors?


    “Ten billion dors?


    “Do you know how much ten billion dors is?


    Her face was full of ridicule. “One dor weighs a thousandth of a pound, while one million dors weighs about 24 pounds.


    “One hundred million dors weighs more than a ton. Multiple trains wouldn’t even be able to move ten billion dors, yet you’re asking for it?


    “Even if I gave you ten billion dors, would you even be able to take it back with you?


    “You’re practically asking for the moon!”


    rence threw up his hands. “If it’s like that, then there’s nothing further to discuss.


    “I’m sorry, Miranda, I can’t cure him.”


    rence turned around and walked away.


    Miranda shuddered. She yelled after rence, “Is this you getting your revenge on me?”


    “What did you say?”


    rence stopped, looking back at Miranda in confusion.


    Miranda’s eyes were red. “rence, I know it’s my fault. I looked down on you and despised you. I didn’t care about your feelings.


    “We’re already divorced, and I’ve gotten what I deserve!


    “This deal is really important to the Murphy family and me. My parents are going to rely on this to change their fate. The Murphy family’s going to rely on this order to forge our path toward glory too. I’m willing to give anything up to seal the deal.


    “Save Bob if you can, okay? Please, I beg you.”


    The woman looked at rence sadly. “If you want me to apologize, fine, I’ll even get on my knees now and apologize to you.”


    rence shook his head. “Sorry, I can’t help you.”


    Miranda’s sad face was full of confusion. “If you have the medical skills, why won’t you help me?”


    She then grew furious. “Do you think it’s funny to act out with me right now?


    “I’ll apologize to you. I’m sorry, I was wrong!


    “I was really wrong, okay?”


    Miranda fumed. She spoke without thinking. “I couldn’t have been more wrong. rence, be the bigger person and forgive me.”


    rence smiled mockingly. “I didn’t expect you to apologize to me with that kind of tone.


    “And you think I’m acting out because of you?”


    rence shook his head. “Do you know how Selina humiliated me?


    “She wrote me a check for two hundred million dors and asked me to pick it up like a dog.


    “In her eyes, I’m just an ant she could crush at any time. Now, she’s still asking me for help in the same tone. Even a sculpture has a temper. Am I so spineless in your eyes?”


    rence’s face was full of derision. “If I say yes to her now, do you think I would have any dignity left, as a man?


    “She’s waiting to see me make a fool of myself.


    “Do you know why she proposed a ten billion dor deal to you all of a sudden? It’s just because she knew you were my ex-wife, so she wanted to use you to ckmail me.”


    Miranda froze.


    After she came to her senses, she begged rence again. “I didn’t know that.


    “But can’t you just help me for once?


    “I beg of you.”


    rence relented. He was about to say yes.


    “Pfft, haha.” Selina chuckled as she watched the scene like it was a television show.


    rence made up his mind and shook his head. “I’m sorry, Miranda. I’ve done so much for you in the past.


    “Now, I just want to do things for myself.”


    rence turned to look at Selina. “Ten billion dors, and not a single cent less. By the way, your dad only has three days left to live. He’ll die after the three days, so you only have until then to think this through.”


    With that said, rence turned around and walked away.


    “rence, stop!


    “Why won’t you help me?


    “Why?


    “Are you punishing me? You’re so cruel. Why won’t you save Bob, since you can?”


    No matter how much Miranda yelled at his back, rence never looked behind.


    Selina stood still, an indifferent expression on her face.


    Just then, Lisa walked out of the next room. “This guy took the hard way out when he was given a choice.”


    Selina coldly took out her phone. “Hello, is this Manager Langdon? Contact Mediterranean City’s Construction Department. I have a business n that involves investing in Mediterranean City.


    “Hello, Manager Wayman, contact the FDA and report that Thirteen Hall is selling fake medicine!


    “Hello, Supervisor Laroche, ask all your staff to go to Thirteen Hall tomorrow. No matter what they have to do, make sure theye down with a cold or a fever. Do whatever you can to get them sick so they can get it treated at Thirteen Hall.


    “Hello, Secretary Smith, contact some influencers in the entertainment industry and ask them to create buzz about tomorrow’s trending tweet! Tweet about how the quack at Thirteen Hall has killed someone and get all the celebrities under the Lawson family to share it!


    “Hello, Dr. Warner, contact Mediterranean City’s hospitals right away. Two days from now, get them to gather outside Thirteen Hall. Anyone who shows up will get paid. Pay a general nurse ten thousand dors, a head nurse one hundred thousand dors, a director five hundred thousand, and an attending doctor one million!


    “Hey, ountant Ziegler, contact the Urban Development Department and get me Thirteen Hall’snd.


    “I’ll pay any amount!


    “Make the news go viral tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Then, the morning of the next day, drive one hundred excavators over to demolish Thirteen Hall and turn it into an area for public toilets!”


    Selina was a fierce and resolute woman.


    Miranda stood by the sidelines, gaping.


    Thirteen Hall would be ruined if Selina truly executed all of her ns.


    Not only would Thirteen Hall go down but rence too.


    Selina’s eyes glistened. “Ten billion dors?


    “Haha, you can have it when you’re dead.”
