    Chapter 13 Demanding an Exorbitant Price


    After working hard for approximately 30 minutes, Cam finally stopped. Her face was covered in a


    sheen of sweat as she looked up at the crowd around her. “Don’t worry; Old Man Nn will be fine. He


    will wake up in ten minutes if nothing unexpected urs.” The entire scene was silent, and nobody said


    a word. Only Penny spoke up in discontent, “My grandpa is going to wake up just because you poked


    some needles into him? What the hell are you bragging about?” Even so, her eyes were glued to the old


    man lying on the bed as if she was trying to verify Cam’s words. On the other hand, Cam ignored


    her. Instead, she sat by the side, resting. “Here, Mommy.” South handed her a handkerchief that he had


    prepared beforehand. Taking it from him, she smiled and stroked his head. “Thanks, South.” As she


    wiped at her sweat, she nced over at Ss again, and her lips curled into a smile. “President Nn,


    my consultation fee is 50 million.” Simrly, the corners of Ss’s mouth lifted slightly. Then, he reached


    his hand out behind him.


    Xavier immediately handed him a check. He took the check and subsequently ced it in her hand.


    “You do demand an exorbitant price, Miss Brooklyn.” His smile hinted at a smugness of having already


    foreseen her actions. She was momentarily taken aback by the check in his hand.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Dimn it! I asked for too little!


    The feeling that she had asked for too little intensified-even more so when she saw the nasty smile


    tugging at his lips.


    She red at him fiercely and reached out her hand to take the check. However, she did not expect a


    figure to rush over suddenly and snatch the check out of her hands before the check could even absorb


    the warmth from her hands. Thus, Cam frowned before turning around to look at Penny, who had


    snatched the check out of her hands. “Grandpa has not woken up yet, and you already want to leave


    after epting the money? What if something happens to Grandpa? Where are we going to find you?”


    Penny said righteously Cam felt her temper rising. Stifling the urge to hit somebody, she lifted her gaze


    and red at Ss. “Is this how you treat your benefactor? By biting the hand that fed you?”


    Even Ss had not expected Penny to do something like that. Hence, his expression immediately


    darkened. At the same time, a hostile aura red out from his body, and he said darkly, “Hand it over.”


    Penny scowled but did not move an inch. “Ss, don’t be deceived by her! Grandpa isn’t awake yet! Who


    knows what she did to him just now?” He frowned slightly at her words and looked over at the old man


    lying on the bed. Although he didn’t know what Cam did to Old Man Nn just now, he could tell that


    his grandpa’s condition was much better than before.


    “I trust her!” he said.


    Cam was rather astonished to hear those words. She never expected him to say those three words


    that held so much power in them. Thus, most of the resentment and anger that had built up in her heart


    dissipated. I guess this guy can speak human too.


    “Forget it; I don’t mind waiting until Old Man Nn wakes up. It won’t take more than a few minutes


    anyway,” she said nonchntly. Penny widened her eyes suddenly upon hearing those words. “Ss,


    have you gone crazy? God knows where this woman came from; how can you believe her words?” The


    frown on Ss’s face did not let up. If anything, his expression became colder. He red at Penny, then


    he said in a voice that allowed no doubts and carried an immense pressure behind it, “Since when do


    you hold the authority to get the final say in this house?”


    Penny’s expression became awkward, and she said petntly, “I didn’t say we won’t give it to her… I just


    wanted you to y on the safe side and pay her after Grandpa wakes up.” After that, he took the check


    out of her hands and walked over to Cam. “Miss Brooklyn, here is your consultation fee. Also, I didn’t


    mean to outbid you during the auctionst night out of malice. I bid on the Wuyou San because I wanted


    to give it to Grandpa.”


    Cam epted the check, frowning slightly as she replied in an indifferent voice, “It’s no big deal. I bid


    on the item for Old Man Nn, anyway. Since it’s all to rescue the old man, it doesn’t matter who


    obtained it in the end.”


    A sh of surprise flitted across Ss’s eyes. Then, he lowered his eyes and studied the woman in front


    of him. I see; she was trying to obtain it to treat Grandpa’s illness.
