“Of course I’ll ask Dr. Skyworth to help. I can still afford to pay a measly twenty million,” Alex stated witha confident smile.
Jacob wanted to keep arguing with Alex, but Brian put a stop to it. After that, Brian grinned at Tyraeland said. “Dr. Skyworth, please give me a minute. I need to talk to my mother before I can let you knowabout the payment. Please don’t get into any arrangement with that punk in the meantime.”
It was crucial for the Jenningses to get Tyrael to cure Lucas as Brian didn’t want to lose the opportunityto get the shares back.
Twenty million was rather heavy for them at that moment. However, they could still bite the bullet andsurvive through the momentary financial hardship, especially if it meant getting their shares back.
Still, with such an enormous sum involved, Brian had to report to his mother. If she didn’t agree to it,Brian would not be able to do anything about it.
Tyrael got the message that Alex’s eyes were sending, so the former nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for a fewminutes, but you should know that this kid is rather sincere as well. He is willing to pay me twenty.million.”
If Jacob hadn’t heard those words from Tyrael’s lips, Jacob would’ve never believed that Alex couldafford to pay that much to save Lucas.
Jacob then remembered how Alex had killed two people from Lumenopolis but was never convicted oranything. That made Jacob rather suspicious.
Jacob then recalled how Alex also knew Flynn, the king of the underworld. Flynn went as far asshooting and killing a butler who tried to pull a dirty trick on Alex. That incident, plus the fact that thepolice did nothing even after Alex killed two people, meant that Alex was pretty powerful as well.
If the Jenningses were the ones who murdered someone else, the police would’ve arrested them andgiven them the death penalty.
Those thoughts frightened Jacob, and he no longer dared to mess with Alex.
Brian, on the other hand, was more worried about how Tyrael might agree to help Alex out. If that wereto happen, Heather would not be indebted to the Jenningses.
As such, Brian wasted no time and walked to the side immediately to call Demi.
“Dr. Skyworth is asking for twenty million to save Lucas, mom. Alex is here to ask the doctor to helptoo. He’s willing to pay the doctor twenty million,” reported Brian directly as soon as the line wasestablished.
“Twenty million?” blurted Demi, who was at home. She immediately frowned upon hearing that. Twentymillion was a heavy price for the Jenningses at that moment.
“That’s right. Dr. Skyworth said that Alex was willing to pay twenty million to help Lucas. I suspect thatthe doctor wouldn’t help us even if we match Alex’s offer,” informed Brian.
Silence dragged on for a moment on the other side of the line. After that, Demi instructed, “Offer thedoctor twenty-two million. Do not let that loser, Alex, hire the doctor. We must get our hands on thatfavor. Only then will Heather owe us and ask the new chairman to sell the company’s shares back tous!”
Demi was an intelligent woman – she understood the importance and urgency of the matter. Theycould

not be bothered about the twenty million at a crucial moment like that, and they certainly could not giveup on getting those shares back.
“Understood, Mom.”
Brian hung up after confirming with Demi. He then hurried back and said, “Dr. Skyworth, we are willingto pay you twenty-two million to hire you to treat Lucas.”
Wow, they even upped the price.
Alex was surprised, and his eyes soon shone with an intrigued glint. Those two must have somethingterrible planned, and it must be huge. Otherwise, they would not pay twenty-two million just to getTyrael to cure someone they hated and viewed as trash. I wonder what they have planned…
Alex was instantly curious. He truly wanted to know what the Jenningses had up their sleeves.
“Fine, you win,” said Alex as he turned to Tyrael. Alex put on an awkward grin before adding, “I onlyhave twenty million. Dr. Skyworth, so I will not be able to hire you to save my brother-in-law. Pleasehelp them. out. I pray that we can hang out again in the future.”novelbin
After saying his piece, Alex shot a look at Tyrael before he brought Stanley out of the place.
Tyrael received the message and nodded. He was courteous and would’ve gotten up to walk Alex out,but he didn’t do so at the time as Tyrael didn’t want Brian and Jacob to suspect that something was off.
“Alright, I will go to the hospital with the two of you tomorrow morning,” said Tyrael to Brian after Alexhad left.
“Thank you, Dr. Skyworth. We will pay you regardless of whether your treatment is successful. We willtransfer twenty million over tonight, then pay the remaining two million tomorrow,” said Brian.
“That’s fine,” replied Tyrael, who then gave Brian his bank account number.
