Chapter 2222
Nathan nodded in response. "You want me to spare your life? I''ll agree on one condition, that is, if you''re willing to donate ten billion to Eurasia for charity. I''ll let you off the hook if you can dothat."
Easton found himself unable to say anything.
"What? Ten billion?"
Nathan coldly responded, "The Camden Group ranks tenth among all the consortiums in the world. Your family is wealthier than the entire nation. Ten billion is nothing to you guys, isn''t it?"
At that, Easton was on the brink of breaking down.
As much as the Camden family was indeed wealthy, it was not an easy feat for them to fork out a ten billion sum either.
In truth, Easton had several investments in the past years. Those had earned him roughly ten billion for his secret stash. Now that Nathan asked for such a hefty sum from him, it was equivalent to thetter trying to empty his painstakingly earned money.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
He cried, "My dear brother-inw, ten billion is a hefty sum. Can you lower it a little?"
Nathan uttered, "I''ll reduce it by a billion since you called me your brother-inw."
Easton quickly replied, "Nine billion is still a lot of money. Do you think you can reduce it by half?"
Nathan harshly uttered, "Are you treating this as a public market and asking for bargains? Fine, I can reduce it by half, but the same goes for you. I''ll chop off your legs. How''s that?"
Easton nearly jumped out of his skin after hearing those words. "1-1 won''t bargain anymore! I won''t ask for you to reduce the sum by half too. I promise I''ll fork out ten billion. I promise..."
Satisfied, Nathan nodded and instructed Colin, "You''ll be in charge of this. Make sure the entire sum goes into charity."
He then turned to the dejected-looking Easton and smiled. "Don''t be heartbroken about losing that sum of money. I''m doing some good on your behalf to prevent you from facing more karmas in the future."
Later that night, Nathan returned to his house
in Channing.
The lights in the living room was still shining brightly.
The television was switched on and airingte-night news, but Penny was sound asleep on the couch.
Seeing that sight, Nathan felt his heart pinch as he frowned and muttered to himself, "Why did she fall asleep here?"
When he reached out and tried to carry Penny back to the room, she jolted awake from the slight movement.
A delighted look appeared on her face when she realized that Nathan was before her eyes. "Hubby, you''re back? Are you okay?"
The manughed. "I merely went out to teach the ckwell n a lesson. What could possibly happen to me? But why are you sleeping here?"
Penny smiled bitterly. "I''m worried about you, so I''ve been waiting for you toe home. Who knew I drifted into sleep after waiting for too long." Nathan was both touched and heartbroken by her words.
Penny then asked about matters rting to the ckwell n and Easton.
Nathan only smiled at her. “Everything has been resolved. The ckwell n has learned their lesson, and Easton has gotten his deserved punishment."
Penny worriedly asked, "Don''t tell me you''ve beaten Easton to death?"
Nathan smirked. "No. That guy is as crafty as a fox. He willingly
acknowledges me as his
brother-inw while begging for
forgiveness. Because of that,
couldn''t bring myself to kill him. It''s all for your sake."
Penny''s face flushed embarrassedly. "Are you serious? The Camden family has been trying to break us apart. Yet Easton calls you his brother-in-w?"
Nathan pulled a warm smile on his face. “I''ll never lie to you. Oh, anyway, I have a video recording of him bidding farewell to you before he left Eurasia. Have a look at it."
As soon as he finished, he took out his phone and yed the video.
Penny was in shock after watching the video. She could not believe that the Camden family, who had always been exceedingly cocky and domineering, would be tamed by Nathan that easily.
