MY WIFE IS AN ALOOF BEAUTY - Chapter 1748 Negotiation (Part Four)
“Mum, I say we just ignore him. I don’t think he really has the real evidence he claims to possess,” Vance suggested. He was blinded by greed, refusing to see anything but the money.
“You shut up! Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything,” Sheena rebuked immediately as she glared at him. Couldn’t he even tell if the voice played by the recording pen was his mother’s?
“How about this? Let’s actually try to think of a way to get the recording pen from him,” Cyrus whispered this time. Just like his brother, he needed this money too, so he didn’t want to lose this chance either.
“Do you honestly think he’s as stupid as you guys? He wouldn’t dare show up alone if he wasn’t prepared,” Hannah replied, rolling her eyes, dumbfounded by her husband’s idiocy. She felt intense regret that she had been so blind that she chose such a stupid man to marry.
“Alright. I’ve made my decision. Let Tiana out,” Sheena said solemnly after moments of deliberation. She finally accepted Rain’s offer. If that was what it took to get rid of the evidence, then they would give her to him. Besides, he didn’t say anything about denying them the opportunity of kidnapping Tiana again.
“Mum, is that really what you decided? Are you sure you’re done thinking about it? She is worth a lot!” Vance said. He couldn’t believe what was happening. He was so close to getting the money, he was unwilling to give it up so easily. All he could do was to remind his mother of Tiana’s immense value.
“What’s wrong? You don’t listen to me now?” Sheena spat angrily as she glared at her son. Agreeing to her decision went against every fiber of his being. Was the money more important than following his mother?
“How come, Mum? Of course I’ll listen to you. I’ll run upstairs and,” Vance sighed. “..let Tiana out,” Vance continued. He then star
now, with his sister in his arms, he felt bad not because they treated her harshly, but because they were about to lose the opportunity to exchange her for the money he needed. What a cruel irony it was for Tiana to learn!
Vance replied with a faint smile. A hollow smile. He didn’t know what to say. So without any more verbal communication with Tiana, he took her downstairs in silence.
Tiana was surprised to see Rain downstairs. She never expected to see Rain in this house, so she thought she was seeing things since she was so weak and delirious.
“Tiana, are you alright?” Rain asked anxiously. His eyes filled with concern when he saw her being carried by Vance. He felt that something terrible must have happened to her. Why was she brought down by her brother? Why couldn’t she walk by herself? ‘This can’t be, ‘ Rain thought. Tiana was the little princess of this family. Was she abused? How could they treat her like this?
“Rain? It’s you! It’s really you!” Tiana exclaimed in a burst of happiness when she realized this wasn’t an illusion. She was so happy that her eyes started welling up. Tears began to flow down her face. She didn’t even think why Rain would be here in the house he detested so much.
