Chapter 2348

“Nina! B*tch, how dare you curse your brother?!" Anna was trembling with rage. Nina did not agree withher, and Anna refused to give up either.

"Am I cursing him?" Nina sneered, "His arms and legs are still fine now. Why don't you chop off hisarms and legs for him? I'd be willing to pay for his living expenses until he's dead, not to mention amonthly allowance of just 5,000 dollars!"

Nina hated the two of them who were her so-called family. That was why she said such things.

"H-How dare you to say something like that?!" Nina's words pissed Anna off.

Anna's blood pressure would have shot up high if it was in the past. However, her blood pressure wasstable because she was in the hospital and the doctors took good care of her.

"I'll only support the handicapped," Nina said in a cold voice.

Anna rested her hand on her heart as she thought of pretending to be weak. She was so angry that herface reddened.

The caretaker immediately said to Nina when she saw this, "Ms. Nina, please stop."

"It's alright. Let her continue. She wants to annoy the hell out of me," said Anna.

"Ms. Anna, please calm down. Don't be mad," said the caretaker. She had already seen such disputesa few times, but it was nothing like what was happening today.

Normally, it was Anna who was doing the scolding. Nina would just keep silent and leave after shefinished handling the matters.

However, it seemed like something was wrong with Nina today. She kept on retorting.

It scared the caretaker when she saw such a situation.

"She wants me dead. Nina, I'm cutting off ties with you!" Anna pointed at Nina's nose and exploded.

"Fine. Go ahead and do it. I'm not afraid of you." Nina did not expect it was Anna who suggested thisfirst. She was a little surprised, but she immediately agreed as rage overtook her.

"Sure. Give me two million dollars, then we'll stay out of each other's way next time!" Anna demanded.

Two million dollars?

Nina sneered, "Seriously? I've already spent half a million dollars on your treatment. Plus, the medicalexpenses of the person Jean injured have also cost me another half a million dollars. Adding them up,the total would be one million dollars. Are you going to pay me?"

"You're obliged to pay for that. I brought you up. It's not too much to ask for two million dollars.

Haven't you always wanted to get rid of this family? I'm giving you the chance now. Just pay two milliondollars and help your brother deal with that problem. You can get out of the Langdon family after that,"replied Anna. She was reminded of the mess Jean had left behind as Nina mentioned it, so she quicklyadded another condition.

After all, she had no idea when the person would recover. They would have to compensate him afterthat, and she was not sure how much they would have to pay.

If that person asked for a huge sum of money and Anna refused to give them the money, Jean mightneed to get to prison.

If Anna gave that person the money after receiving money from Nina, there might not be much left.

That was why Anna decided to make Nina agree with the two conditions.

Nina's eyes reddened. She could not believe that the greedy person in front of her was actually hermother.

Not to mention that Anna was her biological mother. Nina was not an adopted child like Leia.

Luca frowned. Although Nina did not mention it, she had to spend a lot of money on their livingexpenses. There was not much left in her savings account after paying Anna's medical expenses. Howwould she be able to get two million dollars?

However, if Nina had two million dollars and signed a contract with Anna and Jean, she could probablylive a better life in the future.

Nina could not bring herself to cut off ties with her mother, but there was a chance to do so now.

Luca wanted to help, but she did not have two million dollars either...

Nina glowered at the person in front of her. Sorrow flashed across her eyes, then disappointment andhatred took over her.

"Fine. I'll give you two million dollars, but I'll need some time," replied Nina.

"No. I want it today." Anna thought she was not asking for too much when Nina agreed with her withouthesitation.

"You've gone too far!" Nina glared at her. Was the person in front of her still the mother sheremembered in her childhood memory?

Although Anna had favored Jean over her since back then, at least she would still give Nina her share.Even though Jean had more, Nina had been taught that things were supposed to be like that since shewas young. That was why she could understand Anna showed a bias against him.

Although Anna favored him more, she never went go too far with it.

When did Anna become the person she was now?

"You'll have to give me two million dollars today. Otherwise, don't even think about cutting off ties withus!" Anna thought that Nina must have more than that if she could agree to it.

After all, there was no turning back after fighting with Nina. Anna had to find a way to get more money.That way, she would not have to worry about living together with Jean in the future.

If Nina could not give her the money today, she could mark up the price tomorrow.

Nina's eyes were red. When she was thinking about how she could get two million dollars for Anna,Percy's voice came from behind, "Fine. Two million dollars. I'll give it to you now."

Anna looked at Percy in surprise. Why was he here? Even though she had gone through many thingsin her life, she could not help but feel frightened when she saw Percy.

Nina turned around and looked behind her. Percy walked through the door and stepped into the ward.He was like her savior who came to rescue her.

When did Percy come here? What had he heard?

Would Percy think she was terrible when he heard her saying that she would only support Jean if hewas handicapped?

The look on Nina's face was complicated and she said, “Why are you—"

“Let me handle this," Percy interrupted.

Anna looked at Percy greedily. Then, she thought if it was Percy who gave her the money, it could besolved in a few minutes. She wanted more money, so she deliberately made things difficult for him, "I'mnot taking checks, only cash."

"Two million dollars in cash, are you sure about that?" Percy frowned. Anna truly had the guts to ask formoney from him.

They were some distance away from the bank. Was she not afraid of holding on to two million dollars incash?

"Businessmen are always shrewd and cunning. You love to play tricks on people. It's not going to easemy mind until I see the cash," said Anna while resting her hands on her hips.novelbin

"Sure." Percy turned to look at Nina and said, "I can handle this. Wait for me."

After that, he walked out of the ward.

After Percy left, Nina felt like she had lost all her strength. She could not be bothered to argue withAnna anymore.

It was exhausting for her...

Luca held Nina's arm to help her up and said in a soft voice, "Take a seat."

Nina pursed her lips and sat down on the chair. She turned her face away, refusing to look at Anna andJean.

Anna sat in the wheelchair as she gazed at Jean. From the look on her face, she looked like a motherwho was worried about her son.

Luca could not help but feel sorry for Nina when she saw that.

Anna had a strong bias against Jean. Would she look like this if Nina was the one who was lying on thehospital bed?

Fortunately, it was not Nina lying on the bed.

After a while, Percy came in and shot Anna a cold glance. Then, he said, "My men are on their waynow. They'll bring the money here in half an hour. I'll give you the money after you sign the contract."

"What contract?" Anna frowned.

"Words alone aren't enough. You said you're cutting off ties with Nina, so we'll have to make it formal.Signing a contract can protect Nina's rights. Otherwise, you might back out after you take the money.

Then, you'll come looking for trouble with Jean. Won't we lose out by then?" Percy shot a glance atNina, then looked at Anna. His gaze became cold and heartless.
