Chapter 494

Immediately afterward, Lucy Katz held her head as she felt a bit dizzy. Her eyes were filled with panic.

Jada Swanson stared at Lucy with hatred.

However, both Joel Foster and Mace Smith did not pay attention to the women’s reactions.

Joel deviously smiled. He looked like a devil that wanted to pull Mace into the depths of hell.

Mace clenched his hands nervously and his palms were sweating profusely.

Seeing that Mace did not answer, Joel casually stated another price. “1.5 billion.”

The guests who were watching this scene unfold were utterly shocked.

No one knew that Lucy Katz was so important in the eyes of Joel Foster.

Just as the saying went, spend a fortune just to see a smile on the beauty’s face.

However, not many families could afford to hand out 1.5 billion for a lady’s favor.

This was too heavily-priced.

Joel did not have a care in the world.

If he dared to say it, he could do it. As long as Mace agreed to his request, what was it giving out 1.5 billion?

It was merely a few months of income. Joel could afford it.

The situation did not exceed Joel’s expectations.

One could see the growing struggle flashing across Mace’s eyes.

Mace still did not answer. However, as Joel saw the possibility of this happening, his eyes carried a hint of contempt.

“Mace’s love for Lu was nothing.’

“Ha! He wanted to be Lu’s husband like this?’

“Mace should dream on!’

“2 billion.”

Joel mockingly curled up his lips further and stated another price.

The people around held their breaths for a moment.

“2 billion...how determined is Joel?’

Mace was surprised by Joel’s generosity.

He took a deep breath and was about to agree to it.

“How could he not agree?’

“2 billion! It was 2 billion!’

“Sorry Lucy, he could not neglect his family for the sake of her.’

As Mace was about to respond, a wicked smile flashed across Joel’s face.

“3 billion. I want you to sever all ties with her.”

Joel did not mind adding 1 billion for both of them to completely cut off their ties. He also wanted to take this opportunity to show Lu how much of a snob her fiancé was, and how much he valued money over her.

Everyone was stunned.

In reality at this event, there were a few that could spend 3 billion at ease, but they were still shocked to see this.

They would spend this money, but only on investment to grow more money. They would not just waste it on a woman.

All the onlookers began to look forward to where this was headed to.

“Since Young Master Foster was willing to spend this much on a woman, what other unreasonable things would he do for her?’

This was what everyone was concerned about.

Initially, Mace wanted to accept this proposal, but when Joel declared a new price, he faltered.

“3 billion was not a small sum. It could allow the Smith family’s business to take off.’

“However, he would have to completely sever the relationship between him and Lucy. Should he make this decision?’

Mace thought about this and looked at Lucy.

The color drained from Lucy’s face and she looked at Mace with imploring eyes.

He saw Lucy looking at him. She desperately shook her head and her pleading eyes became more intense.

“Please stop this. Don’t exchange her for wealth.’

“If he did not like her, he could just tell her. She could leave voluntarily.’

If their engagement was broken off like this, she would not be able to get past this.

As a well-known queen of film, her acting skills were undoubtedly great.

At that moment, her bright eyes were full of hope and plea, even if she did not utter a word, Mace’s heart shattered at the sight of this.

Mace understood that look in her eyes and knew what decision she wanted him to make.

He painfully lowered his head and his heart wavered.

“Should he give up on Lucy?’

“What about his family...’

At that point, Mace felt tormented by Lucy’s gaze and his duty towards his family.

The suffering on his face was crystal clear and he did not know what to do.

Just as Mace was deliberating, Joel increased the price yet again.

“3 billion is too little...what about 5 billion? Young Master Smith, this is a rare opportunity. I hope you’ll make the right decision.”

Lucy could not stand it any longer.

She took a few strides and stopped in front of Joel. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she raised her arm and slapped him across his face.

“Slap!”

Lucy used all of her strength for this slap that Joel’s cheek swelled up and turned red.

“Joel Foster! Are you done messing around?”

Lucy tried her best to remain composed and squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

Joel looked up, the hair on his forehead was a bit messy.

He did not care about wiping away the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Instead, he jeered. “Me? Messing around?!”

Lucy stared at Joel with resentment and said, “I don’t know what crack you’re on, but I hope that you’ll stop with your ridiculous actions. Stop tempting Mace. He’s my fiancé and I won’t allow you to break up my engagement like this!”

Upon hearing Lucy’s sentence, Joel spun around madly. He frantically gazed at Lucy and said, “Lu, you need to know, if Mace didn’t have the heart, I wouldn’t have succeeded. Now that he’s obviously moved by my offer, why are you mad at me?”

Lucy was dumbfounded.

She knew what Joel said was true, Mace was indeed incited by this.

Nevertheless, she grew more furious at the thought of this and felt anxious and helpless.

“If Mace broke off their engagement for this, what should she do?’

When this incident spreads, with the Foster family’s influence, nobody would be willing to marry her.

More importantly, Lucy did not want Joel to know about her family affairs.

She did not want to show him this embarrassing side of her.

That was why she did not want to approach Joel.

Lucy did not provoke him, but he just kept pestering her.

She was at a loss for words.

Lucy did not know how to choose and how to get herself out of this predicament.

As she thought about it, Lucy shook her head slowly and took a few steps backward.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 She retreated and said, “You’re crazy.”

Her voice was too muffled that if Joel did not pay close attention to her, he would not have heard it.

Joel smiled and walked towards Lucy.

“Yes, I am crazy.”

She took a step back while he stepped forward.

“Why do you have to treat me like this? Why?”

Lucy’s eyes started to water.

She did not know why he followed her footsteps.

Joel could have any woman he wanted. Why does it have to be her?
