"Who’s an old acquaintance with you?" Erie’s face changed, and she scolded angrily.
At this mont, Benjamin stood in front of Erie, protecting her: "Stephen, talk to if you have anything to discuss, don’t bother my wife."
"Oh, you two are really deeply affectionate as husband and wife." Stephen said with a smile, "Erie, you’re really lucky."
"Benjamin, I’ve been here for so long, have you made up your mind yet?" If before Stephen was still nostalgic about Erie, now with everything that’s happened to him, what’s beauty worth?
Money is still the most important!
"Whatever it is, we’ll discuss it. Don’t drag Erie into this." Benjamin frowned and said sternly.
"There’s nothing to discuss, five million. If it’s one penny less, just wait and see the good show!" Stephen said bluntly, leaving Benjamin no room to negotiate.
"What? Five million? Are you crazy?" Erie shouted angrily before Benjamin could speak.
Five million, that’s not a small amount.
"Why? Is five million a lot? Since you think it’s a lot, let ask, who is Sophie Wilson’s real child, worth you going to such lengths to leave property for her back then." Stephen has his trump card, so how could he be afraid of Erie and Benjamin not complying?
"You, you’re just a scoundrel!" Erie was so angry her face turned white.
"Erie, it’s okay, money is a minor issue, don’t get upset." Benjamin hurriedly comforted Erie, then turned to Stephen and yelled angrily, "Shut up, it’s just money, right? I’ll give it to you now, from now on, you must disappear from Imperial City, or... don’t bla for being impolite!"
"Don’t worry, as soon as I get the money, I’ll leave imdiately." Stephen promised.
Aside from the one million he gave to Grace, the remaining four million is enough for him to live on.
With the online scandal becoming so big, taking the money is perfect for him to lay low elsewhere.
It has to be said that Grace and Stephen truly are father and daughter, even their ideas are the sa.
Benjamin quickly wrote a check to Stephen, and after Stephen confird it was correct, he flicked the check and smiled smugly: "Thanks, Mr. Walton, I’m leaving now, no need to see out."
"He, he... why did you just give him the money?" Erie angrily pointed in the direction Stephen was leaving, questioning Benjamin.
Benjamin let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head: "What else can we do? Should we let Stephen spill the beans about what happened back then?"
"Let Ophelia know about her origins?" Benjamin said helplessly, "You care so much about Ophelia daily, of course you don’t want her to be harassed by Stephen, just give him so money then."
"Why give him money, all that money was earned through your hard work!" Erie was furious, stomping her feet unwillingly.
Benjamin chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile: "No problem, I’ll just do more business."
"Won’t that still tire you out?" Erie said painfully, "Business isn’t that easy to do."
"Not necessarily." Benjamin said with a smile, "Now Jas is trying to secure cooperation with Peace Group, and if he marries Ophelia, the cooperation will be guaranteed. Making money would be fairly easy then."
"Of course, I don’t have that capability, but if I work overti, do a bit more here and there, I’ll earn it back. Don’t worry." Benjamin gazed deeply at Erie, "As long as you’re happy."
