Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 188 Lauren maintained her composure and replied , My relationship with Dr.

Lloyd isnt your concern , Mr.

Weller Senior .

Perhaps we should focus on business matters now .

Kanes brows furrowed at her bluntness .

As the head of a prestigious family , he was not accustomed to being dismissed , especially by a junior .

His intentions were genuine Harvey had mentioned Andrews abilities , but from Kanes perspective , Andrew was clearly not in the same league as Lauren .

However , unlike Harvey , Kane maintained his grace and smiled .

Very well , let me be direct .

My price for the Oakridge Club is 150 million .

The number shocked both Lauren and Andrew .

Im sorry , Mr.

Weller Senior , but at 150 million , Ill have to pass on this deal , Lauren replied , disappointed that Kane would try to take such a blatant advantage of her .

Harvey chimed in with a smirk , Lauren , were giving you first priority here .

If youre not interested , there are plenty of others lined up to buy Jayrodales premier club .

Lauren fell into deep thought .

While she did not particularly care about the Oakridge Club , she had promised it as a gift to Andrew and did not want to appear insincere in her gratitude .

Mr.

Weller Senior , 150 million is far too high .

Perhaps we could negotiate ? Lauren suggested .

Kane inwardly smiled , thinking the younger generation was still too naive in business dealings .

He knew nobody would willingly pay 150 million for the club , but he intended to pull a premium price since he was personally involved in the negotiation .

After pretending to consider it carefully , Kane spoke again , Lauren , since both the Weller and Rhodes families are elite families of Jayrodale , Ill give you special consideration .

How about 120 million ? Laurens frown deepened .

Even 120 million was highway robbery for the clubs actual value .

Eunice could not help but comment , Miss , I dont think we should pay 120 million .

Please reconsider ! Shut up ! Harvey snapped .

Who are you to speak here ? Eunice paled and retreated behind Lauren , fighting back tears .

Kane took a slow sip of tea and flashed an insincere smile .

Lauren , youre too forgiving with your staff .

In our family , such behavior would merit severe punishment and expulsion .

Laurens expression darkened .

While Kane was trying to lecture her on managing staff , she did not appreciate the interference especially since Eunice had merely voiced Laurens own thoughts about the Wellers extortionate pricing Chapter 188 Kane set down his teacup and added , Lauren , Ive already lowered the price by 30 million out of consideration for you .

If you refuse now , it would be disrespecting me and the Weller family .

Laurens expression changed , and even Francesca , who had been quietly observing , felt angry .

Kane was clearly using his seniority to pressure the Rhodes family into an unfair deal .
