“Clarence, don’t say yes to her…” Jeremy hurriedly butted in.

Slap!

?

Helena fiercely slapped Jeremy. “Shut up if you don’t want to go to jail!”

“What do you think, Clarence?” Jackson looked at him indifferently.

Clarence smirked and retorted, “What do you think I think?”

100 million?

Fifteen years in prison!

He couldn’t believe that the Hayes family had the gall to even suggest such a thing in the first place.

Jackson frowned. “If you think it’s not enough, I can offer you another 100 million.”

Clarence smiled, keeping quiet.

Helena was flabbergasted. “Clarence, you’re way too much!

“Is 200 million not good enough for you?

“With your monthly salary of 3,000 dollars, you couldn’t ever make 200 million even if you worked for 3,000 years!”

“Mom, that’s enough. Don’t try to bargain with him anymore. Clarence isn’t that sort of person,” Jeremy defended Clarence once more.

Jeremy might have seemed like an immoral asshole who did everything from drinking excessively, to banging prostitutes, to gambling—but deep inside, he was a righteous man.

“You shut up! Someone, take the young master to his room!” Helena shouted in a shrill voice.

Several bodyguards in black suits immediately rushed in and dragged Jeremy out of the hall.

Helena glared at Clarence. “You shouldn’t be too greedy. A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and you’ll choke in the end!

“Think about this carefully. We’re offering you 200 million!

“Fine, you drive a hard bargain. We’ll give you 300 million. That’s our final offer!”

Helena kept increasing the payment.

Her disgust toward Clarence grew more and more.

She could tell at a glance what kind of person he was.

He’s the Murphy family’s son-in-law. He was literally a nobody. He must have married into the family for money.

Clarence refused to give in. In Helena’s mind, she believed it was because the money was not enough.

Jackson coldly threatened, “Kid, you’re too na?ve.

“300 million is more than enough. Even if you asked for more, I don’t think you’d be able to spend it all within your lifetime.”

The entire time, Joshua Hayes just sat by quietly and calmly drank his tea.

Zander, on the other hand, was quietly watching Clarence, wanting to see what the young man would say. Would he agree to their terms, or would he tell them no?

Using Jeremy to bring down the Hayes family had not been Zander’s plan anyway. He only hoped to use this matter to give the Hayes family some trouble, out of spite for the injustice they had treated his son with in the past.

As for Clarence…? Haha!

He was simply a sacrificial lamb, an insignificant ant, a sprinkle of seasoning in the fight between Zander Goldman and Joshua Hayes.

Clarence shook his head. “Sorry, I’m not at all interested in your money.”

“You’ve thought it over?” Jackson’s heart sank.

Helena laughed coldly, “Think clearly, Clarence. We already know who you are.

“You might not be afraid of us, but have you thought about what we could do to the Murphy family?”

She was making a threat!

Clarence stifled a laugh. They knew who he was?

If the Hayes family had found out his true identity, then surely they would know that he was the only legitimate heir of the world’s number one consortium, right?

Never did Clarence expect that his good intentions to save an old man would force him into such a situation.

Clarence learned something new about human nature at that moment.

He vowed to himself to never again save lives for no good reason. Good things did not always happen to those who performed good deeds. It was a sobering thought.

Clarence ignored Helena and Jackson. His gaze fell on Zander Goldman instead. “Mr. Zander, I know you’re a big shot from the capital.

“Jackson and Helena’s words have no weight.

“I know that whether or not I’ll go to jail, that completely depends on you.”

“Oh? Interesting, so you’re choosing to come straight to the source and find out where the problem lies. Not bad.” Zander nodded briefly, looking at Clarence with more than a hint of appreciation.

“Tell me, why should I not continue to pursue this matter?”

Clarence decided to not beat around the bush. “You toss and turn every night during the early hours of the morning. You’re having trouble sleeping.

“The sharp pain in your chest pierces through your bones!

“Once it strikes, it’s like a billion ants biting you!

“You can’t get emotional, because when you do, you start to cough violently!

“You can’t eat spicy food, and you even quit smoking and drinking for years.

“It’s not that you don’t want to smoke or drink, but it’s that you can’t.

“The doctors have told you that you will die if you continue your bad habits!

“You’re afraid to die!”

“How do you know?” Zander’s gaze was full of surprise.

Jackson looked at Clarence in amazement.

Helena was equally surprised.

Joshua Hayes frowned. He had a bad feeling about what was going to happen next!

Johnson Golding’s eyes lit up. Was Master Howard going to cure Zander?

Clarence Howard continued, “You’ve been taking painkillers for a long time now.

“Unfortunately, because you’ve taken too many painkillers over the years, they’re no longer effective.

“Now every week, you have to eat a thirty-year-old mountain ginseng from Paektu Mountain.

“Strangely, on the nights you take the old mountain ginseng, you’re in even more pain!

“Especially around two in the morning, your whole body will burn like it’s on fire!

“An hour later, you start to feel like you’re falling into an ice cave!

“You’ve gone through this for more than three years now.

“When the pain is too much, you even consider killing yourself!”

“You… How did you know?” Zander was completely stunned.

He stood up from his chair and stared at Clarence in horror.

Only a few people from the Goldman family knew about his condition. No more than five people, and all of them were close family. No one else knew anything.

How did Clarence find out?

“You are sick, so of course I know,” Clarence said indifferently.

Zander was completely convinced. “Master Howard, please save me!”
