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, III 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.


    III 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 III 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.
