Chapter 374 Ernest was genuinely baffled .


    He wondered where on earth this brazen kid came from , daring to challenge him over and over .


    Andrews eyes glinted coldly as he said calmly , And what if I said I dont believe you ? Ernests lips twitched with rage as he turned to Natasha with a scowl .


    Natasha , are you going to rein in this punk or not ? If you wont , Ill call my men right now and make sure hes left for dead in the street ! Natasha shot Andrew a quick re .


    This troublemaker of hers was certainly bold ,paring Ernest to garbage and calling him old and washed up it was a direct attack on his pride .


    If Andrew wanted that rare medicinal herb so badly , it would make more sense to hold back and endure a little .


    Forcing a smile , Natasha turned to Ernest and said , Ernest , please dont be angry .


    Mr.


    Lloyd is young , and sometiines he can be a little impulsive .


    Ill apologize on his behalf .


    She gave him a cating smile , trying to diffuse the tension .


    Yet , Ernests frustration was not so easily soothed .


    He jabked a finger in Andrews direction , his cigar bobbing between his fingers .


    Ernest grumbled .


    Youre lucky Natasha stepped in for you , kid .


    Otherwise , Id teach you a lesson you wouldnt forget ! He was arrogant and determined to show Natasha his dominance .


    He wanted her to see thatpared to this young punk , he was the real deal the one with power and authority .


    Natasha forced another smile .


    Ernest , since youre willing to let it slide , how about we focus on the rare medicinal herb you have ? Mr.


    Lloyd is truly interested in purchasing it .


    Just name a fair price , and well dly meet your terms .


    Ernest sneered , his expression smug .


    Fine , Natasha , since youre asking so sincerely , Im not an unreasonable man .


    I wont even ask you to be with me anymore .


    Just spend one night with me , and Ill sell the Aurora Lotus to this punk .


    Of course , it wonte cheap at least 50 million .


    Anything less is a no go ! Natashas face darkened immediately .


    Ernest , we can talk about the money .


    In fact , were even willing to increase the offer .


    But as for your other condition , Im sorry , I simply cant agree to that .


    Perhaps we can negotiate a different arrangement ? Ernest blew a ring of smoke and chuckled sinisterly .


    Do I look like someone whos short on money , Natasha ? To be clear , Im not here for the cash .


    Ive got my eyes on you , widow , and Im not letting it go until I get what I want .


    Natasha fumed inwardly , infuriated that this old pervert was still lusting after her .


    Yet , with Ernests wealth and influence , outright rejecting him was not wise .


    1/2 #  On top of that , Andrew still needed that Aurora Lotus .


    At that moment , Andrew finally lost his patience Pointing toward the door , he said coldly , Enough .


    If youre done , the doors right there .


    Feel free to leave .


    Ernests face turned dark as he snapped , What do you mean by that ? Are you saying you dont want the Aurora Lotus anymore ? Andrew smirked .


    Dont worry , Ill get it from you .


    And when I do , youll be on your knees begging me to take it .


    Ernest froze for a second before bursting into willughter .


    You little punk , are you trying to kill me withughter ? You think Im going to kneel and beg ? Who do you think you are ? Some hotshot ? Youre just a nobody ! Natasha was just as stunned , wondering what nonsense Andrew was saying now .


    Ernest groveling and handing over the herb willingly ? That would be about as likely as pigs could finally fly .
