Chapter 544 The Hoffmans worried that causing a scene would anger the Brooks family and lead to even worse consequences.
Maeve smiled and said, âJust go and make a scene. Demand cash, not the ring. Pretend you donât know its value. I promise youâll get a billion dollars and leave satisfied.â
Hearing Marveâs assurance, Mia felt a bit uneasy. But Noah grabbed her hand and said, âAlright, I agree.â
âGreat. Iâll hand you guys the ring now. See you all tomorrow.â Marve set down the ring and left the Hoffman residence, Still skeptical, Mia asked, âHoney, should we trust Marve?â
âI think Maeve isnât on the Brooksâ side. Remember when Sergio had that affair? I think Maeve wants to get back at them. We can give it a try.â
âDadâs right. If we can get a billion dollars, my loss wonât be for nothing.â
The Hoffmans agreed, and early the next morning, they went to the Brooks Manorâs doorstep to cause a commotion When Allle woke Hailey, she was visibly annoyed. âWhat now? Whoâs here this time?â
âItâs the Hoffmans. Theyâre causing a scene again!â
âThe Hoffmans? What are they making a fuss about? Didnât I tell you to give them the ring?â
Hailey got up, clearly irritated. Allie explained, âThe Hoffmans are shouting that they donât want the ring, just cash.â
âIdiots! Donât they know the ring is worth more than cash? Are they out of their minds?â Hailey muttered, her face showing displeasure.
Outside, Maeve overheard Haileyâs complaints and couldnât help but chuckle. Hailey had intended to use the ring to offset the billion dollars because she didnât have that amount of cash on hand, contrary to the conspiracy story she spun to the Hoffmans.
After all, who wouldâve guessed that Hailey, from the renowned Brooks family, couldnât come up with just a billion dollars?
Hailey stepped out of the room and frowned when she saw Marve. âDidnât you hear the commotion at the door? As the Brooksâ
daughterâinâlaw and the lady of this house, shouldnât you go check it out?â
âYouâre right, Mrs. Brooks Senior. But the Hoffmans are here for you this time. Iâm not sure what to do.â
Feigning helplessness, Maeve watched as Hailey took a deep breath and walked outside.
The Hoffmans were already seated on the couch. They spoke rudely to Hailey, âWe donât want the ring! Hand over the cash!â
With that, Noah slammed the ring box on the table.
Halley replied coldly, âDo you even know what youâre saying? Take a closer look! This ring is worth more than a billion! Itâs enough to keep you comfortable for the rest of your lives! Iâm warning you, stop causing a scene here!â Sá´aÊ*á´h the ê°indNÊvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Iwed Noah sneered, âWhat billion? We donât understand that. If we donât see the money today, weâre not leavingâ
âYouâ Hailey fumed upon realizing they were deliberately being difficult.
Maeve stepped forward to support Hailey. âMrs. Brooks Senior, donât worry. If the Holtmans donât dollars, you can manage that, right?â
I want the ring, weâll take it back. Itâs just a billion Chapter 545
