Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 662

Mark pulled out a cigarette from his cigarette box. A bodyguard quickly lit it up for him.

He exhaled a puff of smoke before carelessly saying, “I can represent the West family, so you may speak freely. I’ll be honest with you, no West will see you now. You have nothing to do with Mr. West at all. Everyone knows this. Consider it our way of getting rid of a problem with money.”

Bernadette gritted her teeth, “And what if I don’t want to talk to you?”

He lifted his gaze at her and smirked, “I’ll give you one more chance. If you won’t talk, then you won’t ever get to talk again.”

Bernadette’s fingers tense, “Fine, I’ll talk then. I want a villa on San Pelegrino Hill and $15 million in cash. These are my terms. They are non-negotiable.”

A villa in San Pelegrino Hills? And 15 million dollars? Mark chuckled, but his eyes were cold and terrifying, “Heh… Do you really think… that you have the right to make these demands? A villa in San Pelegrino Hills already costs more than $15 million, and you want $15 million more? You do have a big appetite.”

“If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have set my sights on Atticus West,” Bernadette said, acting calm. “It’s been so many years. I actually think that it’s a small amount. If you’re going to reject my demands, we have nothing more to say.”

She waited in the hotel for two days. Mark’s staff did not come looking for her. Although she felt anxious, she was too afraid to ask him. There was one more day left. One more day and she would leave the country, far away from this place as a form of conclusion to her past, nine years ago.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, her entire family background and all of her messages were published online, effectively outshining the discussions on the West family. The entire internet was rife with people cursing at her! She couldn’t believe it; she was only an obscure artist. In contrast to an affluent family like the Wests, she shouldn’t have drawn too much attention. She went through the news and finally understood. There was a short voice clip, which turned the tides of public opinion.

“You have nothing to do with Mr. West at all. Everyone knows this. Consider it our way of getting rid of a problem with money.”
