Chloe felt more confident when she saw everyone agreeing.
She crossed her arms proudly and pulled out two hundred dollars from the box: "Forget it, I'll be generous and give you two hundred dollars, and you can use the rest to check your brain."
Alexander looked at me coldly without saying anything.
I remained expressionless and let them sneer at me.
"A normal recipe might cost twenty bucks."
Chloe flipped her long hair.
"It's good that you know it. I'll give you two hundred dollars. I think highly of you."
"Unfortunately, this is not an ordinary recipe."
As soon as the words fell.
Someone else pushed the door open.
Leading the group was an elderly man in a suit and holding a cane, followed by several bodyguards.
Arthur Chamberlain is a world-class treasure appraiser. His family’s collection is rich enough to rival a country, and his network of connections is even more extensive!
Alexander quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully: "Master Chamberlain, what brings you here?"
Arthur ignored Alexander.
Leaning on his cane, he walked up to my second brother and me, and bent over: "Ms. Wright, I heard that Mr. Grant said that the recipe in your hand was damaged?"
I pushed the recipe in his face.
He was shocked. His trembling hands touched the ink-soaked paper, his face pale. "This is the manuscript of Queen Marie that leaked from the Palace of Versailles. It will cost 120 million US dollars to restore it!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was so surprised that their mouths were wide open.
Who would have thought that a small cookbook could be worth so much money.
Chloe was so frightened that her lips trembled. She pretended to be calm: "How...how is this possible? You must be kidding! They are just a few pieces of paper. How can they be so expensive?!"
Arthur gave her a cold look.
Ask someone to take the appraisal certificate out of the briefcase.
"This is the certificate issued by the National Heritage Vault for the special collection in Ms. Wright's hands. Do you need to take it to verify its authenticity?"
The appraisal letter was circulated among everyone in the negotiation room.
The room was completely silent.
The planning director was sweating profusely and didn't dare to wipe it off.
The marketing manager looked pale.
The financial director didn't even dare to say a word.
Chloe finally lost her confidence and slumped in the chair, her bangs wet with sweat.
The one who reacted the fastest was Alexander.
He looked at me with burning eyes: "Vivian, who are you!"
I ignored him and just looked at Chloe.
"Chloe, I compensated you for your necklace, how are you going to compensate me for my recipe?"
Chloe stood up in panic, looked at us and yelled, "You guys teamed up to cheat me. What recipe worth 200 million US dollars? Bullshit!"
She pointed at me and my second brother and said, "I don't know where the money you paid for the compensation came from. You must have gotten it by sleeping with this man!"
This successfully made my second brother, who was sitting next to me, change his expression, and his phone was almost deformed by him.
I looked at her with amusement.
I have taken my mother's surname since I was young and have been very well protected in the family. Few people know that I am the youngest daughter of the Grant family.
Chloe saw that I didn't deny it.
She immediately got excited and screamed, "No wonder you make money so quickly, Vivian, it turns out it's all dirty money! You two are a pair of bastards in cahoots!"
Alexander believed her and cast a probing and disgusted look at me.
The second brother waved his hand, and two bodyguards held Chloe on the left and right.
The second brother's unkind voice sounded: "You can't keep your mouth clean, then I can help you, beat you!"
"Beat him until his mouth is clean."
The sound of the bodyguard slapping people could be heard one after another.
Chloe screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Everyone in the negotiation room felt insecure.
She shouted incoherently: "It's against the law for you to hit people!"
