Fierce Daddy: His Million-Dollar Sweetheart

Chapter 554: Hush Money

"Sweetie, be honest with Dad, how much money did the old witch give you?"Mr. Price started probing Leon’s mother, thinking that if the dowager gave her a lot of money, he would ask for a bigger share for Lucas since Jackie is his real grandson. The money in Jackie’s hands is truly in the hands of the Price family.

Although Leon’s mother is his daughter, she married into the Kane family, so she took the Kane surname and became one of them.

Mr. Price was very "clear-headed".

"Huh? Dad, why are you asking this?"

"Oh, nothing much, just wanting to share in your happiness. Quickly tell Dad, how much did she give you?"

"This..."

Leon’s mother hesitated, feeling she couldn’t contain her excitement. Such a joyous matter; she couldn’t share it with Leon and could only share it with Mr. Price. But what kind of person is Mr. Price? He’s someone whose eyes sparkle at the sight of money, ever demanding. She only wanted to give Mr. Price two billion and had no intention of giving more.

"What? You ungrateful girl, keeping such things from Dad? Do you think Dad is a thief in your eyes? Tell Dad! Would I go to your house to steal money?"

"Dad, what are you talking about? I didn’t think that."

"You definitely did. If not, why won’t you tell me?"

Leon’s mother couldn’t reason with the meddlesome Mr. Price, who never talked sense and only twisted logic. If she continued speaking with him, he’d bring up her childhood incidents and scold her for being unfilial.

"I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, fifty-two billion. Dad, satisfied now?" Leon’s mother no longer wanted Mr. Price to be on her case, so she continued, "Dad, I can only give you two billion, the rest of the money is for Leon. When the dowager gave it to me, she specifically instructed that it was for Leon, and I can’t misuse a penny."

Mr. Price widened his eyes in surprise, disbelieving Leon’s mother. Not use a penny? She immediately transferred two billion to him?

Leon’s mother, being such a miser, got fifty-two billion and only wanted to settle with scraps?

"Sweetie, I’m asking you, do you really consider me your dad?"

Mr. Price’s tone suddenly dropped.

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Leon’s mother’s heart skipped a beat.

"You say."

"Of course, you’re my dad. If I don’t consider you my dad, who else would I?"

"Alright then, transfer another twenty billion."

Leon’s mother was stunned, almost dropping the phone from her hand.oo angry to speak, thinking Mr. Price truly knew his fault but realized the apology was just a ruse for her to answer, so they could continue asking for money.

"Fine, I’ll give you twenty billion, and from now on, we’re done. I’m not your daughter anymore, and whatever happens, don’t come to me again."

Leon’s mother was resolute this time.

"Sweetie, don’t be like this. I do this all for the Price family; in time, when the Price family prospers, won’t it be your honor too? In case the Kane Group collapses, Lucas could be your support."

"With Leon around, the Kane Group will never fall."

Leon’s mother said firmly, hanging up the phone and transferring twenty billion, collapsing onto the couch, exhausted.

About five minutes later, another call came.

"What? Ivana was taken back by Leon? Then... then..."

"I’m really sorry, Mrs. Kane, those idiots exposed you as well. President Kane will likely seek you out, you should start preparing."
