Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 137: Milton's overwhelmingly oppressive aura made Candice want to take a step back. But she suppressed that urge and stood her ground. "I must buy this house. How much do I have to pay you to convince you to sell it to me?" Despite her reluctance, she raised her voice. "According to the blueprint, this area could be developed into a villa complex. Keeping the house intact wouldn't affect the plan whatsoever. I need this house," Candice stubbornly insisted. Milton took a step closer, stretched out his long finger, and gently lifted her chin.

"Give me a valid reason to change the plan for you. Huh?" As soon as he raised his voice, Candice found it surprisingly sexy. "This house used to be my home!" She bit her lip and emphasized each word clearly. "So?" Milton smiled. In fact, he already knew she was the house's former owner. That was why he bought the land surrounding it. The villa's current owner refused to sell it, so he had to buy all the surrounding land to isolate the house. Additionally, the owner was finally willing to sell due to the increased land price.

"So, do you have the needed amount?" A mischievous smile spread across Milton's face. "As far as I know, you only have fifty million under your name." Candice's face turned pale. He had checked her assets through several banks. "I can pay the down payment, which is 50% of the total price. I can take care of the rest with a loan. All you have to do is sell it to me." She was willing to buy it even if it cost one hundred million. Money could always be earned later. She needed to buy her family's house back at any cost now. "Ha ha!" Milton rarely smiled like that.

"Without my consent, what bank do you think will approve your loan request? Huh?" Biting her lip, Candice answered furiously, "I'll borrow the money!" Milton's eyes suddenly shifted from mocking to icy. Borrow money? From whom? From Greyson? He reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her close to his chest, leaving almost no gap between them. He stared at her with deep eyes. From his expression, he was furious. Marlin and Aiken felt embarrassed. Milton and Candice were nearly hugging each other by the door. The two agents couldn't leave the room even if they wanted to.

Discover endless worlds on gαℓησνs﹒o They didn't know what to do or say. Squinting his eyes, Milton asked, "Why all the effort? Why do you have to borrow money? You want this villa? You want me to change the plan? I can even turn the surrounding area into a park for you. Marry me, and everything will be yours." Once he finished speaking, the two agents standing on the sidelines nearly fell to the floor in shock. They finally understood what was going on. No wonder Milton raised the selling price by forty million without hesitation the moment he met the former owner.

He bought the house for the beautiful woman standing before him. He wanted her to marry him. However... it was all too much. It was coercion and a threat. Candice's beautiful eyes widened in shock. She felt her cheeks flush as Milton's hot breath sprayed across her face. She finally realized that this man had bought the villa before her on purpose to force her to marry him. He had found her weakness and knew what she wanted. He wanted to make her give in. . . .
