Katelyn turned to Bernie and suggested calmly, “Let’s tour the estate first. I want to see if it’s really as worthy as claimed.”
Her intention in buying an estate was to increase her interactions with Bernie. It seemed pointless to engage further with Bertrand, who lacked insight.
Bernie let out a sigh of relief. As long as Katelyn refrained from further confrontation, things would remain manageable. He didn’t want his efforts to build a closer connection with Katelyn to go south. Each of them harbored their own thoughts, and so they decided to take a step back.
Bernie then addressed Katelyn, saying quickly, “Miss Bailey, this way please. I chose this estate based on your preferences. It’s really quite nice. Just look at the natural light.” He personally showed Katelyn around.
Katelyn carefully evaluated the house. It was indeed appealing, with ample sunlight and an attractive layout that she found to her liking. The space was very open and bright, which gave a feeling of comfort and spaciousness. The moment she entered, Katelyn felt immediately at ease.
After inspecting the property, Katelyn faced Bertrand and proposed, “Five billion. Take the offer and we can sign the contract right now. If not, then let’s forget the whole thing.”
She also observed that nothing felt off about Bernie during the tour. It appeared he was genuinely just there to show the house.
Upon hearing the offer of five billion, Bertrand lost his temper and yelled, “What are you talking about?! Five billion? That wouldn’t even buy you a shed here!”
He was about to make an accusatory remark when Katelyn interjected with a smirk, “Sell it if you wish, or keep it if you prefer.”

There was no point in continuing the conversation with him. Bertrand lacked his father’s intellect and Ryanna’s strategic thinking; he was all muscle and no mind.
Bertrand caught Katelyn’s dismissive look and grew even angrier.
At that moment, Bernie gently pulled on Bertrand’s arm. This stopped Bertrand from saying more, though he still appeared visibly upset, as if he was struggling internally with his feelings.
Katelyn was intrigued by this. From the start, she could tell Bertrand was on the verge of lashing out but managed to restrain himself. It was clear he was eager to sell the estate.
Therefore, Katelyn was straightforward and asked further, “If you don’t take 5 billion now, my next offer will be 4.5 billion.”
Bertrand was left speechless. He couldn’t believe the boldness in her offer, his mind racing with disbelief.
Why would Vincent be attracted to someone so shameless?
Bertrand felt utterly furious.
But Katelyn casually dismissed him, sliding her sunglasses on as she began to walk away. She had only taken a few steps when she overheard Bernie quietly advising Bertrand.
