Chapter 1745 Negotiation (Part One)
"Everyone, shut up! Arguing like this is not helping! Why don't we stop wasting spit and actually think of ways to get her to agree with our plan. How are we going to send her there when she absolutely refuses to marry that old guy?" Sheena said loudly as she abruptly stood up and banged the table with both her hands. Tiana's yelling was still going on. It ate at her already distressed mind.
"I don't see what the problem is. We could just knock her out," Cyrus blurted out, running out of patience. At first he didn't want to contribute to the discussion, since hearing Tiana's crying made him feel guilty. Tiana was his little sister, despite all their problems. At that moment, he just couldn't ignore her miserable voice and act like he didn't care about her at all. He wasn't that evil of a brother. However, his heart was touched only for an instant. Reality sunk in and hardened his sympathetic heart. He desperately needed this exorbitant amount of money to recover his merciless losses from the stock market. In light of the imminent bankruptcy that loomed over, he no longer hesitated to join the plan to set his sister up.
"Easier said than done. The glaring flaw in your solution is how the hell are you going to knock her out? Don't tell me you'll just do a karate chop down her neck. Such a heartless thing for a brother to do to his little sister! I, on the other hand, haven't even considered such a method," Vance replied sarcastically, fully intent on getting on his brother's nerves. Seeing his wife buckle under the weight of the embarrassment caused by Hannah's words, Vance couldn't help but avenge her by giving Cyrus a hard time.
"Dumbass! There are other ways other than a karate chop, less stupid ones. Have you been isolated all these years to not know of a sleeping pill?" Cyrus barked. He looked at his brother with scorn in his gaze. All of this was because of his stupid yo
stupidity and ugliness. So it's all my fault now?" Sheena asked, quivering with rage. Her voice was shrill and cold. At that moment all her blood went up her head and she was ice cold with anger. She always knew that she never looked as beautiful as Fiona Xia, and this had always been a painful scar in her heart. No one had dared broach it for so many years, not even her husband. She never expected this to come from her own son. How could he bring it up knowing full well how affected she was by it. He just tore the scar open and even deepened the wound. He just stabbed her with his sharp words.
"No, Mum! You're drifting off-topic again. Let's just deal with Tiana right now," Cyrus immediately offered. He sensed the coming onslaught from his mother and tried to save the situation. 'It's better to go back to the task at hand. Otherwise, God knows how she would react if she is as furious as this, ' Cyrus thought to himself.
Meanwhile, in the second floor of the Ke mansion, Tiana was prone beside her bed. She was agonizing over the fact that the family she grew up with and loved all her life were now discussing how to sell her to someone. She had no idea she had been a fish on their frying pan now, and they would never allow their paycheck to escape.
