Chapter 188 Lauren maintained herposure and replied , My rtionship with Dr.


    Lloyd isnt your concern , Mr.


    Weller Senior .


    Perhaps we should focus on business matters now .


    Kanes brows furrowed at her bluntness .


    As the head of a prestigious family , he was not ustomed to being dismissed , especially by a junior .


    His intentions were genuine Harvey had mentioned Andrews abilities , but from Kanes perspective , Andrew was clearly not in the same league as Lauren .


    However , unlike Harvey , Kane maintained his grace and smiled .


    Very well , let me be direct .


    My price for the Oakridge Club is 150 million .


    The number shocked both Lauren and Andrew .


    Im sorry , Mr.


    Weller Senior , but at 150 million , Ill have to pass on this deal , Lauren replied , disappointed that Kane would try to take such a tant advantage of her .


    Harvey chimed in with a smirk , Lauren , were giving you first priority here .


    If youre not interested , there are plenty of others lined up to buy Jayrodales premier club .


    Lauren fell into deep thought .


    While she did not particrly care about the Oakridge Club , she had promised it as a gift to Andrew and did not want to appear insincere in her gratitude .


    Mr.


    Weller Senior , 150 million is far too high .


    Perhaps we could negotiate ? Lauren suggested .


    Kane inwardly smiled , thinking the younger generation was still too naive in business dealings .


    He knew nobody would willingly pay 150 million for the club , but he intended to pull a premium price since he was personally involved in the negotiation .


    After pretending to consider it carefully , Kane spoke again , Lauren , since both the Weller and Rhodes families are elite families of Jayrodale , Ill give you special consideration .


    How about 120 million ? Laurens frown deepened .


    Even 120 million was highway robbery for the clubs actual value .


    Eunice could not help butment , Miss , I dont think we should pay 120 million .


    Please reconsider ! Shut up ! Harvey snapped .


    Who are you to speak here ? Eunice paled and retreated behind Lauren , fighting back tears .


    Kane took a slow sip of tea and shed an insincere smile .


    Lauren , youre too forgiving with your staff .


    In our family , such behavior would merit severe punishment and expulsion .


    Laurens expression darkened .


    While Kane was trying to lecture her on managing staff , she did not appreciate the interference especially since Eunice had merely voiced Laurens own thoughts about the Wellers extortionate pricing Chapter 188 Kane set down his teacup and added , Lauren , Ive already lowered the price by 30 million out of consideration for you .


    If you refuse now , it would be disrespecting me and the Weller family .


    Laurens expression changed , and even Francesca , who had been quietly observing , felt angry .


    Kane was clearly using his seniority to pressure the Rhodes family into an unfair deal .
