Chapter 544
The Hoffmans worried that causing a scene would anger the Brooks family and lead to even worse consequences.
Maeve smiled and said, “Just go and make a scene. Demand cash, not the ring. Pretend you don’t know its value. I promise you’ll get a billion dollars and leave satisfied.”
Hearing Marve’s assurance, Mia felt a bit uneasy. But Noah grabbed her hand and said, “Alright, I agree.”
“Great. I’ll hand you guys the ring now. See you all tomorrow.” Marve set down the ring and left the Hoffman residence,
Still skeptical, Mia asked, “Honey, should we trust Marve?”
“I think Maeve isn’t on the Brooks‘ side. Remember when Sergio had that affair? I think Maeve wants to get back at them. We can give it a try.”
“Dad’s right. If we can get a billion dollars, my loss won’t be for nothing.”
The Hoffmans agreed, and early the next morning, they went to the Brooks Manor’s doorstep to cause a commotion
When Allle woke Hailey, she was visibly annoyed. “What now? Who’s here this time?”
“It’s the Hoffmans. They’re causing a scene again!”
“The Hoffmans? What are they making a fuss about? Didn’t I tell you to give them the ring?”
Hailey got up, clearly irritated. Allie explained, “The Hoffmans are shouting that they don’t want the ring, just cash.”
“Idiots! Don’t they know the ring is worth more than cash? Are they out of their minds?” Hailey muttered, her face showing displeasure.
Outside, Maeve overheard Hailey’s complaints and couldn’t help but chuckle. Hailey had intended to use the ring to offset the billion dollars because she didn’t have that amount of cash on hand, contrary to the conspiracy story she spun to the Hoffmans.
After all, who would’ve guessed that Hailey, from the renowned Brooks family, couldn’t come up with just a billion dollars?
Hailey stepped out of the room and frowned when she saw Marve. “Didn’t you hear the commotion at the door? As the Brooks‘ daughter–in–law and the lady of this house, shouldn’t you go check it out?”
“You’re right, Mrs. Brooks Senior. But the Hoffmans are here for you this time. I’m not sure what to do.”
Feigning helplessness, Maeve watched as Hailey took a deep breath and walked outside.
The Hoffmans were already seated on the couch. They spoke rudely to Hailey, “We don’t want the ring! Hand over the cash!”
With that, Noah slammed the ring box on the table.
Halley replied coldly, “Do you even know what you’re saying? Take a closer look! This ring is worth more than a billion! It’s enough to keep you comfortable for the rest of your lives! I’m warning you, stop causing a scene here!”
Iwed
Noah sneered, “What billion? We don’t understand that. If we don’t see the money today, we’re not leaving”
“You” Hailey fumed upon realizing they were deliberately being difficult.
Maeve stepped forward to support Hailey. “Mrs. Brooks Senior, don’t worry. If the Holtmans don’t dollars, you can manage that, right?”
I want the ring, we’ll take it back. It’s just a billion
