Chapter 1509

“I’m sorry, Miss Young, but the Martells have great use for the Angel’s Fruit and I’m afraid I can’t sell it to you,” Charlie said regretfully.

“I see,” Iris was disappointed, but soon felt hopeful once again at what Charlie said in the next instant.

“However, since you asked so nicely, I don’t have the heart to turn you down!” Charlie said.

“Really? Mister Martell, do you mean to say that you are willing to sell it to me?” Iris was surprised.

“Of course! Miss Young, to be completely honest, I’ve been captured by your beauty since the moment I first laid eyes on you and I’d very much love to befriend you! If you’re willing to be friends, forget about buying it. I can just give the fruit to you!” Charlie said while he stared at Iris eagerly.

“What?” Iris’s expression darkened.

She was not a child and instantly realized what Charlie meant to say. Charlie was not offering the Angel’s Fruit to her unconditionally to befriend her, but to pursue her. If she accepted the fruit, she would be accepting his pursuit.

“I’m sorry, Mister Martell, but I already have a boyfriend!” Iris said.

“So what? You aren’t married yet, are you? So long as you aren’t married, I stand a chance!” Charlie said casually.

It was normal for a beautiful woman like Iris to have pursuers and he was not surprised that she had a boyfriend. However, he was slightly envious of the man who won Iris’s heart.

“Thank you for your offering, Mister Martell! I came to seek the Angel’s Fruit and if you are willing to sell, I can pay! If you aren’t willing to do so, we can forget it!” Iris said in annoyance.

“Let’s not be reckless, Miss Young! I just mean to befriend you. Aren’t you at least going to give me a chance? “Charlie was slightly offended.

The Martells were far more powerful than the Scammells and as the eldest son of the first bloodline of his family, Charlie was in a much higher status compared to Iris, so he felt that it should be an honor to Iris for him to show interest in her; yet she repeatedly rejected him and Charlie could not help but feel frustrated.

“There’s no point in continuing this topic, Mister Martell. Since you don’t seem to be willing to sell the fruit, we should be on our way now!” Iris scoffed and stood.

She could tell that Charlie bore evil intentions toward her and he would never sell the fruit to her that easily, so there was no reason for her to stay any longer.

Damian, who remained quiet, hesitated.

He noticed that Charlie had an ulterior motive as well, but since they came to the Martells with a request and Charlie was out of line, Damian was not sure what he was supposed to say.

“Uncle, let’s go,” Iris said.

“Sure.” Damian nodded and left the mansion with Iris.
