Chapter 6 Hold On
Zayn logged into the dark web and accepted the mission provided by jordan. As soon as it was accepted, Adrian immediately received a notification.
“Mr. Ford, someone has taken up the task we posted on the dark web!” Adrian quickly reported the good news
Jordan grabbed the phone and opened the chat window to contact the other party. “Do you know where Elsa is?
“Since I’ve accepted the rask, I know where she is. I’ve already contacted the Miracle Doctor and she’s willing to treat the patient, but as for the price….!
“The price is negotiable, as long as she can use the patient.”
“Good! I won’t beat around the bush with you then The Miracle Doctor said it would be 50 billion dollars. Not a cent less. If you’ve decided, transfer it to this
number: 1X”
Jordan narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, so billion dollars was quite a demand.
He handed the phone back to Adrian, whose eyes widened after seeing the requested amount. “Mr. Ford, she’s asking for 50 billion dollars? This woman must be crazy for money!”
The price was tens of times greater than expected. It was daylight robbery.
“Call me tomorrow. The price is fine!*
It seemed the other party wanted money, and it just so happened that jordan had plenty. However, whether they could take it remained to be seen
“I mentioned the price you quoted. Jordan didn’t reply immediately, most likely because he was considering his options.
“I don’t think he seems to care about his first love at all since he still hesitates over 50 billion with a net worth of hundreds of billions.”
“Stop with the remarks. I’m hungry. Go make some food for me.
Zayn gestured at himself and asked, “Me?”
“You expect me to cook for you after eaming a billion dollars?”
He rubbed his nose awkwardly and smiled. “Alright. Go take a bath and relax. I’ll call you when it’s ready. If you need a back scrub or massage, just let me know, and I’ll be there right away!
“With the way you switch up your attitude as quickly, you should’ve been an actor. Staying with me will be a waste of your talents!” She chuckled.
The following moming, Sabrina was startled awake by a series of urgent locks on the door.
Stop knocking, or I’ll chop your bands off”
She opened the door with a face full of irritation and saw Zayn standing outside, looling excited. “Do you have any idea how important beauty sleep is for a woman? Aren’t you afraid of getting struck by lightning for disturbing someone else’s sleep?”
#sabrina, Jordan agreed. Half of the deposit has already been received.“‘
The phone showed a message that 25 billion had been transmitted 10 minutes earlier. That amount seemed like a veiled insult from Jordan. She should’ve asked for 60 billion dollars.
“Did you mention my conditions?”
“I did. They disagreed at first, and I said if they disagreed with it, then the woman would die. So, they eventually agreed.”
Sabrina’s only requirement was to cure Valerie alone, and she refused to meet anyone else. Given Jordan’s perceptiveness, he would easily recognize her. Hence, the best way to avoid that was not to meet him.
She raised a hand to cover her mouth as she yawned, her eyes glancing at the still–excited Zayn, and remarked, “I’m going back to sleep. Don’t disturb me again.”
“Alright. What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you.”
Now that he was a millionaire, he needed to look after his golden goose.
“I want milk and sandwiches with extra cheese.”
“Alright, I’ll
Before Zayn could finish his words, the door slammed shut with a loud bang and almost hit his sharp nose. He stroked his nose, relieved that his handsome face wasn’t hir.
When Sabrina woke again, it was an hour later. Warm sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a soft golden light across the bed, warm and gentle.
She washed up and headed downstairs. The living room was quiet, and Zayn was nowhere to be found. She called out but received no response. The breakfast he had made was left on the wanning plate.
“Where did you go?” she asked while eating.
“I’m out buying you some cosmetics.”
“You know how to please me.”
“Of course! If I don’t do something, my conscience can’t take the billion dollars.”
Sabrina was lett speechless by his words.
“Your ex–husband’s assistant phoned me earlier. Apparently, Jondan wants to talk to you alone to discuss Valerie’s condition. What do you think?”
“I’m busy.”
“Alright. I’ll tell them that.”
Sabrina most likely would cancel the deal if she had to discuss Valerie’s condition with him. If it weren’t for the money, she wouldn’t want any contact with jordan She had already paid the price for being blinded by love and wasting three years on a man.
At the Ford Corporation’s headquaners, Jordan sat in a huge leather chair and listened to Adrian’s report. His fingers lightly tapped on the desk, and a slight, frigid crin pulled on the comer of his lips
“Adrian, you’ve become less competent. You can’t even find a person. I’m thinking whether I should look for someone more competent to replace you.”
Upon hearing this, Adrian was speechless. “Mr. Food, I’ve not been slacking. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t find Ms. Tucker’s whereabouts. It’s as if someone’s deliberately covering her tracks.”
Otherwise, it was impossible that he couldn’t find Sabrina in Homsey.
“you’re full of excuses! She’s an orphan with no patents or money. Who would help her? And why would anybody want to hide her tracks?”
Adrian felt batter but kept quiet. He was afraid that anything he said would be seen as an excuse, and he didn’t want to push his lack
“Let’s set it aside for now, What’s the current situation with the Miracle Doctor?”
