The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Face Slap—Eight Figures Is Still the Market Price

Hendrik suddenly looked at her strangely, his eyes revealing emotions that were hard to express in words. But the person was none other than his mother.

Hendrik was silent for a moment, his throat dry, he bitterly smiled and softly said: ”Mom, those things you just said, you can say to Dad and me, but please don’t say them outside.”

”What do you mean?” Celine Tucker furrowed her brows, her face lengthened, not very pleased, thinking Hendrik was also standing up for Nathalie Quinlan.

Seeing her still upset, believing Nathalie was trying to extort them for the three million medical expenses, Hendrik couldn’t help but feel bitter as he struggled to explain: ”I didn’t mean it that way.”

”?” Then what did he mean?

Hendrik seemed to understand her thoughts, took a deep breath, and spoke softly: ”Audrick Zachmann stayed in the best ward this time, the daily cost here is tens of thousands, Audrick stayed for more than ten days, so just the hospitalization costs at least tens of thousands. Additionally, all the medication and doctors he used were the best.”

”So she asked for three million?” Celine Tucker still didn’t think much of it.

Even with that, Audrick wouldn’t have used three million, right?

Hendrik: ”Audrick’s subsequent surgery was personally done by Mr. Avalon, whose surgery prices have always started at eight figures.”

Eight figures are just the market price.

Because Mr. Avalon has long been a master-level figure, even the ’authority expert’ Adelle Wafford would not easily treat people.

Let alone figures like Mr. Avalon who have long been enshrined.

Mr. Avalon hasn’t worked for nearly ten years and hasn’t taken on any surgeries.

So eight figures are just a number, Mr. Avalon being willing to come forward and perform Audrick’s remaining surgeries is more meaningful than money itself.

The face Nathalie could give to make Mr. Avalon come forward and the emotional debt owed to her are truly the greatest contributions.

These things aren’t something money can buy.

Celine Tucker kept saying 300 million, 300 million, displaying an extremely narrow vision, a small mind and an insignificant stance!

”Did Audrick really cost so much this time?” Leonardy Zachmann listened, became increasingly uneasy, feeling slightly restless, wanting to find Nathalie: ”No, I have to return the money to Nathalie, we can’t take advantage of her.”

Celine was rendered silent by Hendrik’s rebuttal, her face burning slightly, almost unable to bear it.

She hadn’t thought a single surgery from Mr. Avalon would cost so much money.

Of course, the amount in millions wasn’t too significant for her, she just hadn’t expected it to run up that high.

This made the words she just said seem laughably ridiculous.

The subsequent reversal even seemed... embarrassing!

Celine was momentarily stuck in place, unable to speak.

”Dad, don’t go, it won’t work if you go, Nathalie won’t take your money.” Hendrik blocked Leonardy, his handsome face expressionless, looked at his dad, speaking in a tone full of helplessness: ”Since she said she won’t take it, then she won’t!”

Hendrik now seemed to have a grasp of a girl’s character, Nathalie’s character was pretty much like what Evron Barness had told him back then.

Straightforward, unpretentious, cold on the outside but warm-hearted, valuing relationships.

In the matter of Audrick, Nathalie’s character was displayed thoroughly.

She could go to Mr. Avalon to get him to come forward for Audrick, and she could stand up for Audrick alone against the Quarles Family... she could even discreetly handle Audrick’s hospitalization expenses, come to the hospital early to manage Audrick’s discharge procedures...

In contrast.

Caryn Zachmann’s actions seemed particularly disappointing.
