Chapter 344
Yuriel would definitely seize this opportunity to crush Shein while he was down.
"Since you've heard of me, Mr. Thompson, I suggest you abandon any false hopes," Hendrix said with a faint smile, picking up his spoon to begin eating.
Shein lifted his gaze to meet Hendrix's eyes.
"As long as you guarantee our safety, the 300 million dollars is yours.
Hendrix laughed heartily.
"Mr. Thompson, you certainly drive a hard bargain!"
Meanwhile, the scene shifted to a development project by Yuriel's Evermore Properties in a secluded town on the outskirts of Riverland.
Although it was referred to as a village, it was actually filled with small, stylish villas.
At the center stood an imposing and grand mansion.
A middle-aged man in casual attire was tending to his garden when a subordinate approached with a
satellite phone.
"Mr. Holder, a call for you."
The middle-aged man took the phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Jalen, where did you find such a fierce group of bandits?"
The voice on the other end sounded pleased.
Feigning irritation, Jalen replied, "What bandits? Those are my sworn brothers!"
The voice on the other end quickly apologized, "My apologies. I'll drink three cups as penance next time
we meet!"
Jalen's expression softened a bit, and he replied nonchalantly, "Just to be clear, you're not getting a cut of
the 300 million dollars."
"Jalen, please. You guys have helped me out so much, how could I dare take a cut? Besides, when have I ever been short of money?"
"Alright. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm busy watering my flowers."
"You've got time to enjoy gardening? What kind of flowers do you like? I'll have some sent over."
"Narcissus. My young girl loves them."
Jalen's face lit up with a smile when he mentioned his daughter.
2/3
He had always wanted a daughter, but fate had played a cruel joke on him-he had four sons in a row. He even contemplated divorce, believing his wife was incapable of bearing a daughter. Fortunately, the fifth child was a girl whom he named Narcisse Holder.
She had just turned ten and was attending Sunny Hills Elementary School, a private school he had established.
Ever since Narcisse was born, Jalen had gradually stepped back from the limelight, orchestrating things from behind the scenes.
Narcisse didn't even know that her father was one of the "Heroes of Riverland".
"Alright. I'll send you some quality narcissus plants. Take care. I've got company matters to handle."
"Bye."
Jalen hung up the phone and handed the satellite phone back to his subordinate.
He resumed watering the flowers and casually asked, 'Is everything set for Narcisse's birthday party?"
"It's all good to go. As you instructed, we only invited her teachers and classmates."
"Good. Make sure to pick her up early today."
"Yes, boss!"
