Chapter 1697


    "This is what’s called ‘All’s fair in love and war’," Arabe smiled, tossing Sean''s own words back at


    him.


    Sean''s smile turned even more devilish, likely not expecting the youngdy to be so cunning. With a


    casual flick of his wrist, his men stood down, their weapons no longer pointed at them.


    "Sean said he''d sell me the ind," Arabe stated as she pulled out a contract from her bag andid it


    on the hospital tray table. "I''ve already drawn up the agreement."


    Of course, she had to keep her true identity secret, so the signature on the document was Horace''s.


    "Now it just needs Sean''s signature."


    As she spoke, Arabe ced a check on the tray table, “Here are the five million dors.”


    All duly noted with the date and amount.


    "All Sean has to do is write his name on the ''pay to the order of'' line, and then he can cash it at the


    bank."


    "Hmm."


    Sean couldn''t help but chuckle with a yful interest, seemingly surprised that the youngdy was so


    well-prepared. "And what if I refuse to sign?"


    "Then there''s no guarantee for your follow-up treatment," Arabe reminded him bluntly, "What if the


    seventeenth ingredient for your treatment slips my mind, or if you sufferplications after surgery, or


    need an additional operation to remove blood clots from your heart?"

    Steward hadn’t anticipated Arabe daring to use the prescription as leverage over Sean. But what


    really threw them was realizing that indeed, they had no way to counter her.

    "Pass me the pen."


    Sean maintained a carefree smile, looking more like a tiger toying with a kitten than a man at Arabe''s


    mercy.


    Reluctantly, Steward uncapped the pen and handed it to Sean. He watched as Sean swiftly signed his


    name.


    In the next instant, Arabe snatched the contract away.


    "Pleasure doing business with you," Arabe said as she turned to leave.


    Sean gestured his men to open the door for her, and the whole room observed as Arabe and her


    entourage left unobstructed.


    "Arabe, you''re incredible," Horace looked at Arabe with undisguised admiration. "No wonder you


    said after the surgery, you''d have a way to get me out."


    Arabe was the epitome of reassurance!


    In the hospital room.


    "Sean, once she gives us the seventeenth ingredient, I swear I''ll bring her back," Steward pledged,


    anxious to soothe any potential anger from Sean.


    "It''s been a while since I''ve met someone this interesting," Sean reflected, lips curving broadly into a


    smile. "Don''t you think she''s about the same age as Serena, but far more intriguing?"


    "She''s nothing like Serena." Steward jumped to Serena’s defense.


    "No, she''s decidedly more fascinating than Serena."


    Shortly afterwards, Steward received a phone call and his expressions turned quickly to awkwardness.


    After a series of beeps signaled the end of the call, he turned to Sean with a look tooplex for


    words.


    "Sean, the caller just informed us there''s no seventeenth ingredient. The prescription contains only


    sixteen."


    In other words, they had been yed by the youngdy!


    Sean''s smile widened; The youngdy really did y by her own rules.


    Although she wasn’t his cup of tea, an idea came to him—it wouldn''t be bad to have her as a little


    sister. At the very least, life would never be dull.


    "Sean, do you want me to fetch her back?"


    "There’s no need," Sean replied, disying no interest in capturing her, on the contrary, feeling


    somewhat excited about their next encounter. He wondered what kind of surprise this youngdy would


    bring him.
