Mommy, Please Marry My Daddy (Kamryn)
Mommy 271

Chapter 271

Charlie grinned wickedly and got up, acting like he was leaving.

Zackery quickly grabbed him, saying. "You can't do this. Are you really ready to ruin Nicole personally?"

Charlie coolly said, "What's the big deal?"

Zackery's eye twitched as he saw Charlie's scornful look. He was about to blow up, but then he saw his disappointing daughter in the other car. He held back his anger and asked patiently. "When do you want it?" "Tomorrow."

"That's too soon; it might not work."

Charlie smiled coldly and said, "I don't have much patience. You have three days. Either give me 200 million dollars or sign over the land to me"

With that, he waved his hand emotionlessly and got in his

car.

Zackery was livid, clenching his teeth. It felt like this guy was slicing him up, piece by piece, blood dripping. In just a few minutes, he had snagged a piece of land worth millions. He couldn't help but boil with rage. On the way back, Kamryn wondered what Zackery wanted when he called him earlier. Charlie told her everything about their talk

Kamryn was stunned, her mouth wide open.

She exclaimed, "Isn't that blackmail?

Charlie, however, defended himself, saying, "I got that land with my own skills; it has nothing to do with blackmail."

Kamryn stuck out her tongue at him, thinking. It was totally blackmail; there was no question about it.

But Charlie did have some skills. He hit Zackery where it hurt. If Nicole's scandal about getting knocked up before marriage got out, it would hurt the Duarte Group badly.

On one hand, there was a hundred-million-dollar project, and on the other hand, there was the shaky market value of the Duarte Group. After weighing the pros and cons, Zackery knew he had to give in.

Even though it was just giving in a little, this deal was a huge loss for Zackery.

No matter if Zackery gave h

him 200 million dollars or the land, it wouldn't be a loss for Charlie in his situation.

Charlie was more crafty than she thought

She thought Zackery must feel choked on the way home.

Nicole's screw-up and Charlie's crazy demands were enough to give him a heart attack.

Kamryn suddenly found it funny. She thought, I didn't expect that after all this drama, Charlie would still get so much out of it. This guy can be pretty wicked! When he spoils someone, he goes all out. But if he really goes all out to trick someone, they totally flip out. On the other side, Wilson kept his head down, smartly staying quiet in the passenger seat.

In the back seat, Rose held Nicole tenderly, soothing her by rubbing her back. Zackery sat next to Rose; his face turned pale with anger, and his eyes were sharply focused ahead. He gave off a stormy vibe, and even though the car was silent for a while, It was more like the calm before the storm.

Rose carefully peeked at Zackery's face. She really wanted to know what they had talked about, which made Zackery look so pissed. But she didn't have the guts to ask because of his angry expression.

After a long silence, Rose couldn't take it anymore. After choosing her words, she cautiously asked, "What did you and Charlie

"Don't say that jerk's name in front of me!" Zackery yelled, cutting her off with rage.

His scary tone shocked Rose, and she opened her eyes wide, looking at him with some confusion. She didn't get why he was so mad. But seeing his fury, she didn't dare to keep asking. So she smartly shut her mouth.

But her silence didn't mean that Zackery had cooled down.

He was full of anger, looking for a way to let it out. When she asked, it gave him a chance to vent. All of a sudden, he turned his head and stared at her, his face red. He shouted angrily, "That damn kid has some balls. Considering our long-time friendship with his family, I hoped he would keep quiet about Nicole's situation. But guess what he said?"

Rose shook her head in confusion, asking, "What did he say?"

As Charlie's name was mentioned, Nicole, who had been spacing out, finally perked up. Her blank eyes got some focus. Wilson, sitting in the front seat, also perked up with curiosity, listening closely.

"He would like to keep the secret, but he wants a ton of money to shut up.

With that, Rose shook her head in disbelief, saying. "No way! Charlie would never be that kind of person."

Zackery retorted, "Hehe! You don't know him! This little jerk knows how to play his cards. And now, thanks to your careless daughter, he has a chance to take advantage. What does he want? He's asking for 200 million dollars from me, or else he'll use his media buddies to blow her story up. Humph! He's really good at scheming. I have no choice but to pay him off. But he is asking for 200 million dollars. That's just crazy, right?"

Then he worked up and faced her, shouted, "Where am I supposed to get 200 million dollars for him? It's driving me to the

wall

"We can't pull out 200 million dollars for the moment. How could Charlie make such a bold demand? 200 million dollars!" Rose murmured anxiously, feeling deeply let down by Charlie.

Even Wilson was speechless by it all.

And Nicole heard this, feeling her heart pound in fear.

She thought. Why did Charlie suddenly become so harsh? Could it be that he really had no feelings left for me? 200 million dollars!

She felt a sudden choke.

Before she left the country, she secretly moved some money from the bank account that Wilson handled. That money a big hole. money was still

It was the company's business account, and such a huge gap was still unfilled, and now Charlie wanted 200 million dollars. But if it weren't for her desperate move, which gave that guy a chance, the Duarte family wouldn't be in such a weak position. She wondered, Does Dad know about this?"

Her face turned pale. She worried that if Zackery found out she had taken this money and wasted it on a test-tube baby, he would be so mad that he could kill her.
