Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1379

Alastair was left completely speechless by those words. He truly could not make any guarantees, simply because the competition within the White family was exceptionally cruel. Boys naturally held a physical advantage over girls in stamina and absolute strength. That was exactly why most of the White family's top female recruits eventually flowed into the elite marriage market rather than frontline combat roles.

James observed Alastair's hesitant expression and threw out his final bargaining chip. "I can offer the White family an additional percentage point on top of the eleven billion in resources."

Upon hearing this, a sudden light sparked in Alastair's cloudy old eyes. The White family lacked business acumen. Providing for such a massive household, along with the astronomical costs of medicinal herbs and training equipment for the children, relied entirely on the resources their recruits traded their lives for. The highest price a top-ranking child could fetch was ten billion. Yet for Nina, James had already offered eleven billion. Alastair's internal scale instantly tipped. As the patriarch, his first priority was the survival of the entire clan. With this money, they could cultivate the next batch of excellent recruits. He gritted his teeth and made his decision. "Alright. Since Mr. Nelson has shown such sincerity, you may take the girl. Come with me to the study to handle the paperwork."

Standing off to the side, Nina had been listening with her ears perked up. The moment she heard she was being taken away, an overwhelming wave of joy rushed to her head. The little girl literally jumped in place and let out an excited cheer. "Oh yeah! That is awesome!" She took off like a wild little maniac, sprinting straight up to the viewing deck. Rushing over to Emmy, she grabbed her sleeve, bouncing up and down. "Emmy! Emmy, did you hear that? I was chosen! Grandpa is letting me go! I finally do not have to kneel in the Murphy Chapel or get punished anymore! I get to leave this mountain and play in the outside world!"

Looking at this energetic, radiant child who smiled like a little sun, Emmy felt the heavy gloom that had accumulated since Penny's death slightly dissipate. She could not help but reach out to smooth the girl's messy pigtails. "Are you really that happy?"

"Of course I am happy! The outside world is so exciting!" Nina smiled so widely her eyes turned into little crescents.
