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.
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.
“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!”
