Beau Shelby’s eyebrows furrowed, "This is the North Family’s matter."
"You’re Claire’s fiancé now, soon to be husband. You are obligated to help protect her things. Besides, when you get married, won’t it be glorious for Claire to bring these shares with her?"
"Forget it. Since my sister refuses to let go, I can only let her be. Who am I kidding? It’s me who’s lacking and can’t make my sister like me." Claire North spoke magnanimously, yet tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, making her look utterly aggrieved.
Beau Shelby lowered his head to look at her.
Claire North raised her head and smiled at him, "Apart from you, I’m willing to give everything to my sister."
Beau Shelby’s expression changed, his face full of tenderness.
Raina North watched coldly, genuinely feeling that the Oscars owed Claire North a golden statuette. Look at this aggrieved appearance, surely irresistible to pity.
"Raina North refuses to give up the shares, isn’t it just for more money? Otherwise, let’s make a deal, name your price."
Beau Shelby nodded, "Evelyn’s suggestion makes sense."
"Hey, Raina, here’s your chance to get rich. Name your price, how much would make you give up? Thirty million? Is that enough?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⚑fire.net
Raina North expressed that she didn’t want to say another word to this idiot, fearing contagion.
Raina admired her fingers, hmm, a bit rough. Tonight she’ll have to prepare some ointment, apply it on, girls’ fingers should be white and delicate to look nice.
"Fifty million! Raina, don’t be ungrateful!"
Beau Shelby’s eyebrows were knitted in a frown, Claire North hurriedly grabbed Evelyn Xavier’s arm and shook her head, "Evelyn, how can you speak to my sister like that!"
Evelyn Xavier had to shut her mouth reluctantly.
Beau Shelby sighed, "Raina, could you take a step back? If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can negotiate."
"Alright." Raina smiled, "Isn’t it about the dowry? I’ve decided to grant your wishes."
Claire North rejoiced.
Beau Shelby looked shocked, staring dazedly at Raina. He hadn’t imagined she would agree just like that; originally, he thought she wouldn’t agree under any circumstances.
For a moment, the feelings inside were difficult to describe.
Evelyn Xavier trembled, "Name the amount, we’ll give you whatever you dare ask for."
"That’s great." Raina smiled and held up one finger.
"Add another ten million, but..."
"Ten billion?" Evelyn Xavier couldn’t believe it, "Raina, are you out of your mind?"
Northwind’s total market value is only ten billion!
With thirty-one percent of the shares, Raina dared to ask for ten billion.
"What? Can’t come up with it? Since you can’t, then stop boasting, you almost made me believe President Xavier could throw around ten billion. Seems I overestimated Claire North’s worth. It’s nothing special after all."
"Raina!" Beau Shelby’s expression was extraordinarily unpleasant.
Raina couldn’t care less, swiftly turning around and leaving.
Evelyn Xavier yelled and screamed behind her, "Crazy, right! I think Raina is money-crazy, dreaming about money!"
Claire North gritted her teeth harshly, putting on a magnanimous guise, "Since my sister isn’t willing, let it go. Let’s hope maybe in the future she’ll forgive us; she might change her mind."
Beau Shelby said nothing, staring at Raina’s figure. In his mind were all of Raina’s reactions just now. It seemed like he no longer saw that familiar, deep love in her eyes.
Her gaze was very calm, looking at him as if seeing a stranger.
