Chapter 747 Scum
“Sorry, but 150 million isn’t what I’m after. I’m going after the clan’s ore,” she answered honestly. “If you can give me some of those, I’ll do whatever you say.” Matthew wanted that resource, and she seized the chance to see what Tanya’s policy on that was.
“What?” Tanya’s face fell, and surprise filled her eyes. A while later, she humphed. “Preposterous.”
Nobody translated that, but that didn’t mean Veronica had no idea what she just said. “Fifteen billion. Take it or leave it,” Tanya said for the last time, and she left.
Liam looked at the ladies before he finally left with his mother. When they emerged from the tea shop, Liam had concocted a mischievous little idea. “I have an idea, Mom. Wanna hear it?”
Tanya rolled her eyes and got in the car. “Not a good one, I’m sure.” “Mom, you can’t say that about your son!” Liam gave her a scandalized look.
“It’s because you’re my son that I know you can’t come up with any good ideas.”
The driver revved the car up and left when both of them had gotten in. Liam was sitting beside his mother, and he chortled. “If you want her to submit, then you’ll need to talk to her heart.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll woo her. She just lost her husband. If I can give her love and companionship, she’s going to fall for me. And if she dates me, she won’t argue with you anymore, don’t you think?”
Liam had a little plan of his own. The moment he saw Veronica, he was attracted by her beauty and elegance. He just couldn’t take his eyes off her.
As the leader’s son, he had a lot of beauties he could sleep with, but Veronica was different. She came from the city, was beautiful, and had an air of elegance about her. She was his cup of tea. He also knew she could fight and was the wife of a billionaire. The allure of a young wife was irresistible for him.
“Ridiculous.” Tanya shot him a glare. “Don’t forget who you are.”
Liam’s face fell. “That is not ridiculous. Not like this is a patriarchy. I won’t get to be the leader anyway, and I don’t care. But you expect me to not make new experiences? That’s not fair, Mother.”
The fact that only women got to be the clan leader disgruntled Liam, so he spent all his time playing around and bedding all the women he could get.
He guilt-tripped her, and she couldn’t scold him when he brought that up. “Um…” Tanya didn’t know what to say.
She’s not talking. She’s wavering. Thus, he added, “Mom, she’s just gonna be a fling. If I can get my hands on her, it’d be a big boon for you. I’d like to help too. Besides, she’s already a mother of two. You can’t expect me to marry her.”
That rationale finally doused Tanya’s hesitation.
Her gaze was solemn, and her brows furrowed. Something glinted in her eyes, and she let out a sigh. Then she nodded. She looked at her son and said, “It’s not impossible, but she’s Waylen’s student. She’s more capable than most people we know, so don’t go overboard.”
“Relax, Mother. I’m hot. I can make a widow fall for me easily.” Liam was confident.
