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, III 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.
