Chapter 1304

Sue didn’t know what to say when she saw how quickly he took the money.

She couldn’t utter the words she had prepared beforehand.

She could only nod and say, “Okay.”

Noel smiled; he pushed the check back to Sue, his eyes bright and forthright. “Were you hoping I would say that?”

Sue was stunned. “What do you mean?”

That was 450 thousand dollars he was talking about!

The last time she went to the countryside to take Cecilia back, she saw the conditions Noel’s family lived in.

Although Albert Carter had served as a butler at the Fulcher household for a long time, he probably didn’t bring home much money.

The houses in Richburgh were expensive. Sue didn’t believe that working for someone was enough for him to afford a house.

As for Noel…

He was a capable man indeed. The fact that he managed to stay by Julian’s side for so long was proof of his skills.

Yet, no matter how capable he was, the maximum he could earn would be about 300 to 450 thousand dollars a year.

“If you don’t earn that much, I can give you more.”

Her serious face made Noel burst out laughing.

He probed further, “How much more can you give?”

Indeed, no one could resist the temptation of money.

Sue doubted Cecilia’s taste in men.

The first man she liked was Julian, who already loved Diana. He was an indirect cause of her illness. In the end, he withdrew without any hesitation and even volunteered his assistant.

To Sue, Julian’s actions were no different from treating Cecilia as a pitiful beggar.

A pity her daughter was no beggar.

No matter; she would make a way for her own daughter if she needed to.

“1.5 million.”

She was willing to spend any amount of money for the sake of her daughter’s happiness.

“I can come up with that much money, too,” Noel said.

Facing Sue, he was suddenly fearless. He was giving off an air of confidence and certainty. It was as if he had arrived at a negotiation scene he was familiar with; his eyes glinted with confidence.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

At that moment, Sue saw the light emanating from this man.

A pity he was the son of a butler who wasn’t of a good character. Their social status was enough for Sue to object to Noel’s relationship with Cecilia.

At the very least, Cecilia had to marry the son of a wealthy family. He had to come from a wealthy background, with parents of the same social circle as the Jarvises. That would make it easier for them to click.

Simply put, all the sons in their social circle were better than Noel.

Sue forced herself to focus and not lose her objectivity.

“How much can you fork out?” She calmed herself down and waited for Noel’s reply.

“Priceless,” Noel said. ‘The relationship between Ms. Jarvis and I is priceless. So…”

He pushed the check further away from himself, all the way back into Sue’s hands.

“1.5 million dollars can’t buy a break-up between us.”

Priceless?

Sue laughed. “Cecilia wants to break up with you. What gives you the confidence to say that it’s priceless? Are you over-confident, or are you shameless?”

Upon realizing that money was of no use, Sue forsook her genteel upbringing. She was determined to carve out good prospects for her daughter’s future today.

And Noel was the greatest barrier in her daughter’s prospects.

“Let Ms. Jarvis and I talk over the phone,” Noel said. The rose petals were trampled to pulp after just this short period. It made his heart sink. “I want to ask her personally about the break-up. I will only acknowledge it if she does.”

Sue didn’t expect Noel to be so stubborn. She had thought that things would be settled after she gave him the money.

Not only did he refuse the money, but he even wanted to call Cecilia.

This man was very detailed and sharp-minded.

He clearly thought of the possibility that Sue was putting a spoke in their wheels, but he didn’t expose her.
