Chapter 415 A Hundred Million Dollars

The moment Mrs. Miller brought up the word "remarry, I was instantly aware of who sent her. I honestly hadn't expected Mr. Harmon Senior to resort to such loathsome means. In order to salvage Harmon Group's reputation, he actually sought out Mrs. Miller's help. I immediately cut her off from berating Amelia. "This doesn't concern you, Mrs. Miller. I'm tired. So, please get out of the way."

"How does it not concern me? I'm the baby's grandma!" She wanted to approach me, but my bodyguards stopped her.

Mrs. Miller could only speak in an embarrassed tone, "Amelia gave birth to her baby out of wedlock. She's in no position to raise her son. You can just remarry Leonard and take care of him.

"Look at you. You have cancer, and you could just die any minute. Don't you think you need a son to handle your funeral?"

"Who the heck are you? Shut the hell up if you don't have anything nice to say!" Nina shoved Mrs. Miller hard, feeling frustrated.

"Have you got a screw loose? Is that why you cursed Ms. Green? She has divorced Leonard. How about you ask your daughter to do better at seducing him? If you act like a crazy woman once more, I'm going to call the cops and have you arrested!" Mrs. Miller would typically wuss out when someone acted tough with her. The moment she saw that Nina was angered, she took a look at my bodyguards and immediately lost her confidence.

"That's not it. I'm not cursing Eva. Can't you see that I just want her to take care of the baby? You guys can have the baby. After all, he's Leonard's son. Then, I'll take Amelia far away from here. It's just that I'm worried it'll be very hard for her to marry someone else. After all, she has given birth to a child."

I laughed out loud when I saw that scheming face of hers. "So, how much are you asking for?"

Mrs. Miller smacked her thigh and said, "I knew you were the smart one here, Eva. It's virtually impossible for her to marry someone again, and that means I'll have to support her financially.

"Also, you have to consider the fact that she had lived a wealthy and comfortable life for such a long time. Naturally, she's used to spending extravagantly." "How much?" I squinted and looked at her.

Mrs. Miller noticed that I was about to get pissed off, and she quickly named the figure. "I'll need a hundred million dollars.

"Mr. Harmon Senior said he'd give us a million dollars, but I've asked around. I found out that the money we spent on Amelia's treatment back when she was in Manovia was way more than what he's offering us now.

"Houses are expensive these days, and so is food. You can have the baby for a hundred million dollars. It's a tempting price, isn't it? Not only would you save the trouble of going through labor yourself, but the baby is also guaranteed a Harmon."

At the next moment, I clutched my belly and laughed heartily.

"Do you even know how much is a hundred million dollars? You're truly brave for asking for this kind of money. Do you honestly think Amelia is the only lady who wants to get pregnant with Leonard's baby? I might not be able to give birth to a baby, but there are plenty more ladies who can do that." Mrs. Miller noticed me teasing her, and she grew displeased.

"The internet says that a hundred million dollars is nothing to people like you. How am I asking too much here? Don't you think a baby bom of the Harmon family is worth this kind of price?"

I had to give it to Mrs. Miller. She really did know her stuff.

I shook my head in response. "Well, you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't have that kind of money. You should try your luck with the Harmon family. More to the point, it doesn't concern you if Leonard and I remarry."

I gave my bodyguards a look, and they immediately caught my meaning. At the next moment, they took her arms and pulled her away.

However, Mrs. Miller was just too stubborn to give up and cried out ceaselessly, "Don't you want someone to support you financially until you're old, Eva? Don't you want to be Leonard's wife? I'm offering you the lifeline here!" "Mom! Why are you here? Who let you in?" Amelia popped up out of nowhere. Even Mrs. Miller was shocked.

However, Mrs. Miller immediately had a fit. "Why can't I be here? We can't even afford to put food on our table, and yet you get to live in such a nice place. You hid from your family when you went overseas for so many years. How long do you think you can keep running away from us?

"I gave life to you, and it's your responsibility to support me till the day I die. For that matter, you have to give me all of your money as well!"
