Shirley Thorne was starting to realize that the mega-rich tycoon was far more shameless than she was.
She had felt bad about trying to swindle Duplara from Yvette Grant, thinking it was asking too much. But as it turned out, once the tycoon made his move, you knew it was a done deal.
As for paying the difference in price...
She refused to believe that a vain creature like Yvette Grant would have the nerve to actually accept the money!
And sure enough, the first words out of Yvette Grant's mouth were—
"The difference in price? Don't be ridiculous, Ethan. You're being too polite!"
Yvette Grant was cursing up a storm internally, but her expression was kind and amiable. Her benevolent smile rivaled that of an old patriarch as she advised, "This island isn't very suitable for a pregnancy retreat."
After speaking, still feeling uneasy, she shot Shirley Thorne a knowing smile and asked, "Isn't that right, Shirley?"
Shirley nodded. "That's what my godmother said!"
