After Leonard went back, he stayed in the villa and did not go out.
Early the following day, Eileen called and said, âLeonard, Marianna made an appointment with Martin and other friends and said that she would give Martin six million dollars. Are you going to stop her?â
Eileen believed in Leonard, knowing that Martin was scamming for money.
So she immediately thought of calling Leonard.
âSend me the location, and Iâll be there.â
After Leonard hung up the phone, he drove out of the villa directly.
At this time, in a room at the Marriott Restaurant.
Marianna, Jocelyn, Eileen, and Martin were all there.
âMiss Rodgers, I donât know why you invited me here.â
Although Martin had already guessed Mariannaâs intentions, he still asked on purpose.
In his eyes, Marianna was a big fish who was about to take the bait.
He could go to the casino with Mariannaâs money to have fun again.
As for what to do next, gamblers wouldnât think so much.
âMr. Klein, I asked you out today because of that affair. I hope you can help.â
âI have already brought six million dollars.â
Marianna took out a card from her bag.
The young lady of the dignified Rodgers family, who was the apple of the eye, was now bowing her head to beg for help.
Marianna was very pitiful at this moment.
This was the helplessness of being born into a big family.
However, Martin did not take Mariannaâs bank card but shook his head slightly.
Marianna was shocked.
Thinking that Martin had repented, she was a little anxious.
Martin said, âOriginally, I asked for six million dollars because you are my friend, but Leonard didnât show me respect, so six million dollars is not enough, and I want 12 million dollars.â
After inquiring for the past few days, Martin knew that Marianna was desperate.
So even if he raised the price now, she would definitely agree.
He could also blame Leonard. Killing two birds with one gemstone.
Mariannaâs face suddenly became a little dark, and she didnât expect that he would raise the price just because Leonard didnât show him respect.
As for 12 million dollars, she didnât have that much money on hand.
She couldnât help saying, âMr. Klein, it was Leonardâs fault for offending you, and I apologize to you on his behalf.â
âAs for 12 million dollars, I really canât get that much at once. Can you help me?â
Martin shook his head. âThere is no discussion unless Leonard kneels and apologizes to me.â
Kayla, next to him, couldnât help but say, âLeonard is really good for nothing. How dare he disrespect Mr. Klein? Now you have to spend an extra six million dollars for nothing. Why do you keep such a boyfriend?â
Marianna looked directly at Martin. âI know Leonard, and he wonât kneel to apologize.â
âYou want 12 million dollars, right? Iâll pay for it, but Mr. Klein, please give me a week.â
Martin shook his head again. âOne week is impossible. I will give you three days at most. After three days, I will go on a business trip to discuss business. If I canât see the money, I wonât handle it.â
âThree days? I think you want to go to Legas to gamble in three days, right?â
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
11:56 Leonard came over and snatched the bank card from Mariannaâs hand.
âYou will get nothing! Martin, if you dare to scam others, be careful that I will break your legs.â
Seeing Leonardâs actions, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
âWhy is he here?â
âLast time, it was because he was rude to Mr. Klein, and the price was increased to 12 million dollars.
Now he dares to say such a thing. Doesnât this mean that Mr. Klein has been completely offended?â
âI think after he made such a fuss, 12 million dollars is not enough, and it has to be increased to 18 million dollars.â
âMr. Klein is not someone who lacks money. What he wants is respect.â
âI heard from Marianna that she ran away from home, and her bank card was frozen by her family. She only had one card to use, and there were only six million dollars in it. Martin wanted 12 million dollars, and she didnât know where to get it. If it is added to 18 million dollars, then there is really nothing she can do.â
Leonard looked at Mariannaâs pitiful appearance and couldnât help showing a bit of distress in his eyes.
With Mariannaâs status, Martin was absolutely incomparable to her.
But now Marianna needed to bow her head to Martin, the reason for which was to protect Leonard.
Leonard thought, âWhat a silly girl.â
Leonard shook his head.
âLeonard, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you slander me? Without my help, you just wait to be torn to pieces by the Olsen family.â Martin said loudly with a guilty conscience.
Hearing this, Marianna became anxious.
She hastily apologized, âMr. Klein, donât be angry. Iâll give you whatever you want. Iâll definitely get 12 million dollars in three days, so please help me.â
Martin just sneered and pointed at Leonard. âLet him kneel and beg me. Otherwise, you can forget about all this.â
Leonard had a look of disdain.
Even his father, Cole Klein, treated Leonard respectfully. How dare Martin make him kneel and apologize?
Marianna continued to intercede with Leonard.
However, Martin was completely indifferent.
âLook, I knew that Leonard was going to cause trouble. Although I admire Leonardâs bravery, he was still too reckless in his actions, which failed Mariannaâs painstaking efforts.â
People discussed.
Eileen, next to them, was watching coldly.
She clearly knew that Martin was in trouble, and Leonard was someone he couldnât afford to provoke.
Sure enough, Leonard was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he took out his phone and made a call. âCole Klein, watch your son!â
