Chapter 588 - Let Go Of Me! (1/2)

London almost couldn't believe his own hearing when Stephan just casually talked about finding super-rich men for L to marry, and L just nodded in agreement.

OMG... Stephan wasn't lying. L was indeed the most materialistic girl in Germany!

Gosh. These two were so open about their plan in front of London and Lyanna. Inwardly London felt more and more disappointed because L nodded and smiled in response to Stephan's words.

”But before you become theirs, I want to have you for myself first,” Stephan said while his hands crawled on L's t.h.i.g.hs under her fitting black dress. The man's grin looked disgusting.

”Stephan ... I told you I'm not that kind of woman,” L brushed Stephan's hands away from creeping up her t.h.i.g.hs. Her black eyes stared at Stephan seething with anger. ”I told you we would share the results after I married the man I wanted.”

”I change my mind,” Stephan said, staring at L with a devious smile. ”Tonight, you're so beautiful, and I want to cancel our agreement. I don't need the money ...”

”You need the money to finance your expensive lifestyle! Your father has cut you out of his will, and it won't be long until people know how poor you have become,” hissed L. ”I only use your connection to find a super-rich and powerful husband. The agreement between us is mutually beneficial. When I get the money, I will finance your company so that you can escape the shadow of your parents.”

London coughed violently when he heard what L said. Listening to the conversation between these two conniving people made him really upset. Why were they talking casually in front of him and Lyana about such things? Were they not ashamed?

”What happened to you?” L asked, narrowing her eyes towards London. ”You can't drink?”

”Uhm... it's not it.” London's face turned red. He was shocked because Stephan and L were conspiring to get some super-rich man into marrying L. This reminded him of his brother-in-law, Alaric who, a few months ago, was almost framed by a woman using an aphrodisiac.

Thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

”Then why are you coughing?” L asked him curtly.

”Uhm ... what are you planning to do? Will you and Stephan trap some rich men to marry you? Are you not worried that I will expose your plans?” he asked back in astonishment.

L and Stephan looked at each other, then both of them laughed out loud.

”Who will believe your words? Stephan is a rich guy with a good reputation, and as you can see, I don't need to trap anyone to marry me.” L stood up and bowed slightly like a princess in front of London as if showing off how beautiful she was. ”This month alone, I've turned down proposals from ten rich men.”

”Oh ... then what did you mean by getting a husband earlier?” asked London curiously. He was a little relieved because it turned out that L didn't mean to trap a man with aphrodisiac as he had just imagined.

”Ugh ... are you that naive? I want to be a really famous celebrity so I can up my dating profile and enter the circle of the super-rich and powerful. Stephan will help me become famous, so I could achieve my goal. I don't need ordinary rich men to propose to me. My standards are much higher than that.”

”Then, what are your standards? How rich is rich enough for you?” asked London curiously.

”Uhmm ... I don't know, maybe as wealthy as Jan Van Der Ven, or Terrence Chan, the President of Schneider Group? Or Crown Prince Niels from Sweden ...”

London could only swallow hard when he heard the blunt answer from the girl. So, based on her standards, actually, if he disclosed his identity now, he could easily get her attention, because obviously, the girl was only targeting men as rich and powerful as he was.

”Uhm ... is wealth more important to you than love?” he asked softly. ”What if those super-rich men mistreated you?”

”Well, nobody's perfect,” L said with a shrug. ”I have to take the good with the bad. If I had to choose between a nice man who loves me very much, but poor, and a super-rich man who treats me badly... then I would always choose money.”

”Why is money so important to you?” London asked again.

”You must be living under a rock all your life... In these modern times, love has become obsolete. Love can't pay the bills. So, of course, money is important.” L pursed her lips. She looked adorable when pouting, and London was very tempted to land a kiss on the girl's red lips.
