Chapter 1713: 416: In your face, Miss Thompson is my goddess!_4 Chapter 1713: 416: In your face, Miss Thompson is my goddess!_4 At this point, Sherry continued, “Moreover, Mr. Zach is very satisfied with your daughter.”

“How satisfied?” Sabrina Sabir asked.

In Sabrina Sabir’s view,

all the issues were not issues; the most important thing was the two million dollars.

“Is he even willing to pay the two million dollars?” Sabrina Sabir asked.

Thinking about those two million dollars, Sabrina Sabir’s eyes sparkled.

It wasn’t that she was greedy for money.

It’s just human nature.

People die for wealth.

Birds perish for food.

Seeing her greedy appearance, Sherry’s eyes were filled with disgust, “Mrs. Black, money is just a number for Mr. Zach. As long as your daughter can satisfy him, he will definitely be willing to pay the two million dollars.”

Sabrina Sabir narrowed her eyes.

It seemed that this old man was not short of money.

And he was willing to spend it.

It made sense.

After all, he was one foot in the grave; who knows when he might die, and the money should be spent while he can.

Besides, this money wasn’t being spent for nothing.

It was worth it to get a pure young maiden in return!

Let alone two million dollars.

If another million were added, he would probably agree as well.

Sabrina Sabir couldn’t help but calculate happily in her mind.

Just then, a knock on the door echoed through the air.

“It’s Mr. Zach,” Sherry immediately stood up and looked at Sabrina Sabir, “Mrs. Black, has your daughter arrived?”

“She’s in the Cof right across the street; you can see it from this window.”

Upon hearing this, Sherry walked to the window and glanced downstairs.

Indeed, she could see it.

It was just a pity that Christina Armstrong was still so young.

Sherry sighed internally, walked to the door, and opened it, her face full of smiles, “Mr. Zach, you’ve arrived. Please come inside.”

Mr. Zach was seventy years old this year.

Due to his good upkeep, his mental state was exceptional, so he looked much younger than his actual age.

Sherry continued the introduction, “Mr. Zach, this is Mrs. Black, Christina’s mother.”

“Mrs. Black, this is Mr. Zach.”

They say you raise your head high when marrying off your daughter.

At this time, Sabrina Sabir naturally couldn’t appear too enthusiastic.

After all, it was this old man who needed her.

“Mrs. Black, hello,” Peter Stone removed his hat, “I am Peter Stone.”

Sabrina Sabir sized up Peter Stone, excitement in her eyes.

To her, Peter Stone was a walking Dollar.

Sabrina Sabir nodded, “Please, have a seat.”

Peter Stone sat across from Sabrina Sabir and then began to speak, “Mrs. Black, I presume you are already aware of my circumstances.”

“Yes, I’ve heard a little,” Sabrina Sabir replied, “But do you understand my circumstances?”

She was referring to the dowry.

Peter Stone nodded, “Two million dollars for the dowry is not an issue. You’ve worked hard to raise your daughter, and indeed I shouldn’t get her on the cheap. If things work out, consider the two million dollars as a token of my respect to both elders.”

Everyone likes young girls.

Especially young and beautiful ones.

And indeed, the two million dollars was nothing to Peter Stone.

Saying this, Peter Stone paused, “However, I would like to meet Miss Armstrong in person.”

At these words, Sherry smiled and walked to the window, “Mr. Zach, please come this way.”

Peter Stone’s brows furrowed subtly.

Sherry pointed down towards the Cof, “That is Miss Armstrong.”

Peter Stone immediately took out his reading glasses from his pocket.

He could barely make her out.

But after all, it was quite a distance, and Peter Stone continued, “I would like to go to the Cof for a look.”

Sherry said nothing.

She didn’t have the authority to decide this.

Sabrina resonated from the side, “You can go downstairs to have a look, but don’t let my daughter notice you. She doesn’t know about this affair yet.”

“Understood.”

Peter Stone turned and walked towards the door.

Soon, he arrived at the Cof downstairs.

On a workday, there weren’t many people drinking tea in the venue. Christina Armstrong worked part-time here and, during her free time, chatted with colleagues.

Peter Stone ordered a pot of tea.

Only then did he get a clear look at Christina Armstrong’s face.

Very attractive.

She was his type.

A man is always a boy until he dies.

Though he was over seventy, Peter never considered himself old.

A colleague reminded Christina, “That old man keeps staring at you!”

It was the kind of look that was sleazy and lecherous.

Christina didn’t take it to heart, “No big deal, looking won’t take a piece off me.”

Seeing this, the colleague didn’t say anything more.

—

Peter had been in the Cof for a long time without returning, so Sabrina Sabir knew he must have taken a liking.

Sherry also suspected things were looking up and said to Beatrice Black with a smile, “Congratulations, Mrs. Black.”

Beatrice Black narrowed her eyes, “Don’t be in a hurry to congratulate me.”

Sherry was speechless.

This woman made selling one’s daughter sound like an act of glory.

How interesting.

Before long, Peter returned from the Cof.

Sherry approached him, “Mr. Zach, how do you feel?”

“Very nice indeed.”

In their conversation, it was clear they already treated Christina Armstrong as merchandise to be casually sold.

Peter took out a card and placed it in front of Beatrice Black, “This is two million dollars.”

“The password is six zeros.”

Beatrice Black was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Peter Stone to be so forthright, to just throw two million out there.

“Please set a date, mother-in-law, and I will bring Miss Armstrong home,” he said, calling her mother-in-law quite naturally.

Beatrice Black looked up at Peter Stone and then said, “Mr. Zach, as you just saw, my daughter is still a virgin and only twenty-seven years old this year. You, on the other hand, are already seventy. It’s clear that in this marriage, we are at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it.”

Here, Beatrice Black added, “Moreover, I can’t guarantee right now whether my daughter is willing to marry you; I still have to persuade her. If she isn’t willing, two million dollars won’t be enough, let alone three million.”

Peter Stone was a shrewd man and naturally knew what Beatrice Black meant.

Although Beatrice’s greedy demeanor was unseemly, Christina’s looks were commendable.

Three million wasn’t too much.

Peter then added, “That’s simple; I am willing to add another million for the dowry.”

Another million added!

Not only was Beatrice Black surprised.

Even Sherry, the matchmaker, was shocked.

A million added just like that!

Who exactly was this Mr. Zach?

As he finished speaking, Peter continued, “Mrs. Black, I am willing to raise your dowry from one million to two, and now to three million, because I think your daughter and I are fated. But if you’re still not satisfied, then even the greatest fate wouldn’t be bearable for me, Peter Stone. I’ll put it here today, once I walk out this door, even if you drop the dowry, I won’t give your daughter a second glance.”

His words were somewhat harsh.

Beatrice Black’s expression changed multiple times, thinking this old codger still had some brains to know she wanted to raise the price and had decided to cut the discussion short.

Fine!

Three million it is!

Her expectation had only been one million after all.

“How do you plan to give the remaining million?” Beatrice Black continued to ask.

Peter said, “Transfer.”

Beatrice Black nodded, “That’s fine. As for the wedding date, I’ll need to discuss it with my husband upon my return.”

“The eighteenth of this month,” Peter continued, “You two take these two million for now, and I’ll transfer the remaining million after we complete the marriage.”

Beatrice Black frowned, “What if you change your mind?”

Peter laughed, “A mere million is not worth my, Peter Stone’s, going back on my word. If you don’t trust me, Sherry can act as our go-between.”

“Sure,” Sherry nodded.

Only then did Beatrice Black feel reassured, “The eighteenth it is.”

Peter then said, “I will visit the parents in three days’ time. Please mother-in-law, ensure that Miss Armstrong is prepared.”

“Don’t worry,” Beatrice Black patted her chest, “That girl listens to me the most.”

She had plenty of ways to get Christina Armstrong to marry Peter Stone.
