NovelAppChapter 98 Moira pursed her lips and stepped aside, allowing Bernice to pass. She then followed Bernice into the villa Hearing Barclay had left the villa, Bernice went there for Moira. She thought Moira was not so intelligent, but later realized Moira was mocking her, Irritatedly, Bernice sat down and asked Moira to get her a glass of water.
Moira grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and placed it before Bernice, "Enjoy yourself. I have plenty of water." Bernice glared at Moira and slammed her hand down on the table, shouting, "Do you have any manners for guests?" Moira showed a sweet smile and replied, "Of course I have. But you're not my guest." Bernice finally realized that she was nothing in Moira's eyes. She did not want to waste one second here and went straight to her purpose, saying, "Ms Jimenez, you're a smart girl." Bernice pondered, "Moira's bridegroom left her at the wedding, but Moira managed to marry Barclay within two months. She can't be s t u pid based on that. I was careless just now." Bernice held back her anger and slightly lifted her head, recovering her previous arrogance. She continued, "Being here is the last thing I want to do. However, Barclay is my son anyway. Let's be clear. Such a woman like you can't becone of the Covington family!" Moira looked at Bernice and smiled, replying, "Well, Mrs. Covington, do you not see the irony and hypocrisy in your words?" She thought, 'Although I'm only Barclay's legal wife without much feelings for him, I'm still leagues ahead of that hwrecker, Bernice! Moira's sarcasm grated on Bernice's nerves, her hands trembling w with irritation. She pulled a check from her purse and declared, "Here's a 10-million-dollar check. It's yours if you can divorce Barclay within three months." Moira grabbed the check to take a closer look at the zeros. After confirming it was 10 million dollars, she spoke, "Sorry, Mrs. Covington, I'm not that type of person." She retorted inside, 'Con! I'm not a fool! Barclay is worth far more than this!' Bernice seemed to anticipate Moira's reaction. She sneered and showed Moira another check, saying, "This is another 10-million-dollar check. I'm offering 20 million dollars in total. You can have them all if you divorce Barclay in three months." Moira muttered inside, '20 million dollars?' She hesitated, her throat tightening with temptation.
Moira pondered, 'Paragon Corporation's revenues have been declining years ago. Its performance gets worse year by year. I don't think its revenues this year can hit 20 million dollars, not to mention its profits. "People all consider it was a great deal forto marry Alfie. Their words made sense 'My father lacks business acumen, but he's done his best to keep Paragon Corporation from going bankrupt. Barclay's stepmother is generous. I almost want ant to say yes if I were Barclay's wife for real. That is 20 million dollars! Anyone will be tempted! If I took the 20 million dollars before me, I could reject to participate in scommercials, and my father could retire." The more Moira thought, the more she got tempted. She locked her hands under the table to prevent her from taking the checks and replied, "Barclay is priceless for me."
Bernice quickly grasped Moira's implication. She was so furious that she jumped up and yelled, "Always wanting more/can end up costing you everything in the end!" Then, she grabbed the checks from the table and stormed out of the villa in her high heels. 1/2
