Chapter 1690
“What are you bargaining with? You’ll do as the Lamont family say. Antonia’s safety is the most important thing.”
Dorothy said urgently, “Otherwise, I’ll go save Antonia myself!”
“You just stay out of this.” Cliff said impatiently, “I’m going to see Jonathan Lamont right now!”
“Go quickly, call me immediately if anything happens. I must see Antonia today!” Dorothy was both anxious and
angry.
“Alright!”
Cliff hung up the phone. Not two minutes later, the man who went to call Jonathan returned to the hall, his face full
of discomfort, “Mr. Crawley, Jonathan’s personal assistant took the call. He said Jonathan is in a meeting, and he
asked you to wait!”
Cliff’s face turned livid in an instant. He kicked the coffee table in frustration. He had forgotten that the table was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmade of marble. Half his body was numb from the shock, and his ankle was in severe pain.
He couldn’t help but curse.
In the evening. Cliff’s car headed to the private residential area at the top of the Sailing Hotel.
With a ceiling height of nine meters, cool tones of arrangement, and giant works of art, the place gave an
oppressive feeling as soon as one entered. Cliff waited for a while before he saw Jonathan finally arriving.
Cliff had brought six men with him, who stood in a line behind him. Only Millard was following Jonathan.
Seeing that Jonathan only brought one with him, Cliff was somewhat furiously embarrassed, as if he had brought six
men out of fear.
He waved his hand to dismiss the men behind him, lit a cigar, and laughed coldly, “Mr. Lamont, you really know how
to make an entrance!” Jonathan, in a dark suit, handsome and indifferent, spoke with his usual sarcasm, “What can
I do, the one who needs a favor isn’t me!” Cliff’s face changed slightly, “I’m here now. Isn’t it time for me to see my
daughter?”
“Not in a hurry, agree to my conditions, and I can give you back your daughter immediately!” Jonathan’s tone was
unhurried. Cliff asked, “What conditions?”
Jonathan said quietly, “Antonia Crawley hired a hacker to post a article libeling KING, bringing her a lot of bad
influence. Mr. Crawley, make a public statement in Antonia’s name, saying that because she was previously
rejected by KING for a full dress design, so she held a grudge, and deliberately fabricated the information to
slander KING. Now she wants to ask for KING’s forgiveness! Also, once this is resolved, you take Antonia and leave J
City. never to set foot in J City again!”
Cliff’s face grew colder as he listened, “What’s the relationship between you and that KING?”
“I have nothing to say to you, Mr. Crawley!” Jonathan said coldly.
Cliff’s eyes flickered, “Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t make this statement. Antonia still wants to be an actress. If I make
this statement, how will she survive in this industry?
Jonathan’s eyes were icy. “When she libeled KING, she should have thought about the consequences!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCliff gritted his teeth, “I can promise Mr. Lamont that I will take Antonia back to B City and will not disturb KING in
the future.”
Jonathan’s tone was callous, “Both conditions must be met!”
Cliff’s attitude began to harden, “Impossible, I can’t make this statement for Antonia. If Mr. Lamont feels it’s not
enough, I can have Antonia apologize to KING in person.”
“It has to be a public statement on the internet? Jonathan did not budge.
Cliff said,” said it’s impossible!”
Jonathan looked at the man opposite him blandly, a slight smirk appearing on his thin lips, “Mr. Crawley, that means
there’s no room for negotiation?”
Cliff stared at Jonathan, who was nearly twenty years younger than him. Yet in this moment, he felt an
unprecedented pressure.
Jonathans phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up and answered, “What’s up?”
Nate said, “We’ve caught the person who made the post!”
