Chapter 338

Fiona's lips curled into a pout as she tucked the bills into her pocket.

"Hmph, you'll need to offer at least two million dollars for the hush money!"

Frederick's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

Two million dollars? That was an exorbitant amount.

Noticing his astonishment, Fiona conceded slightly, "Fine, 200 thousand dollars will do."

A wave of embarrassment washed over Frederick. He wasn't one to carry large sums of cash, most of his wealth was tied up in Ragnarok. His remaining savings barely amounted to a few thousand dollars.

"I don't have that kind of money on hand," he admitted sheepishly.

Now it was Fiona's turn to be taken aback.

"You don't even have 200 thousand dollars?"

She scrutinized Frederick more closely. Both she and Anya hailed from wealthy families, their social circles populated by individuals for whom 200 thousand dollars was a mere trifle.

Fiona had assumed her uncle would choose a well-off suitor for Anya, hence her initial demand for two million dollars.
