Money Only to Burn

Chapter 21

Henric was desperate. He knew that Paddy wouldn't dare take Cyril again.

"Why did things turn in his favor, every time I wanted to destroy him?" Henric thought with annoyance.he had a perfect plan, but it was now ruined.

Thinking of Cyril's warning to him earlier, he felt a cold sweat on his back. He had no choice but to admit his mistake and apologize.

Patrick was in a similar situation. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and put down his pride, running to "Master Woodley, I didn't know you were on good terms with Mr. Torres. What happened was a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding? I don't get it. " Cyril smiled slightly. she stood up and left the chair for the injured Joyce to rest.

"It's a complete misunderstanding and you can forget about the medical expenses."

The whole idea of collecting compensation is now a sickening joke.

As soon as Patrick finished his words, Howie directly slapped him and said loudly. "How dare you ask Mr Woodley for medical expenses?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Forgive my stupidity. " Patrick didn't dare to fight. He was a realist, so he would not risk his life to fight Howie since over a hundred people were in

surrounding.

Henric who was not far from there grew even more desperate when he saw that Paddy did not dare to fight back.

"You have to pay medical expenses for my cousin" Cyril said, pointing to Joyce.

"That makes sense. How much does he want? " Patrick was sad because he was going to lose a lot of money.

"300 thousand dollars," said Cyril calmly.

"That's a lot?" Patrick thought because his heart was hurting, but he gritted his teeth and replied, "No problem."

Patrick took out a checkbook, wrote down the number, and handed it to Cyril with trembling hands.

Cyril smiled and took the check. Then he turned around and gave it to Joyce. "Joyce, take. I'll ask Natasha to take care of you this afternoon" he whispered.

"Master.. Cousin, thank you. " Joyce immediately called him a cousin because he remembered Cyril asking him to do it when they were in public. He feels touched and lucky because he has a caring boss, which makes him even more determined to follow him.

Patrick thought that everything would be fine after he gave the money away. However, Cyril turned around and said to him.

"You've already paid my cousin's medical expenses. How are you going to pay for my mental damage?" As soon as Cyril finished his words, Patrick trembled and stammered.

"Mr Woodley, do you know?"

"I heard you were a collector of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. How about giving me some? But don't fool me. I just want the original artifact, "Cyril warned him with a smile.

Tomorrow will be Rainee's 80th birthday, who loves to collect antiques.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't treat you badly if I was satisfied with what you took, "Cyril added.

"Okay, okay." Patrick had no choice. He would just give her some less valuable items, hoping that Cyril did not know.

Patrick isn't a fool, and he won't take the most valuable paintings. But as soon as he turned around, he heard Cyril say with a laugh.

"I think I'd better go with you!" Patrick's body is shaking. He had to agree on everything now; he had no choice.

The collection is in another room, so Cyril and Howie follow Patrick into the collection room while Joyce stays.

Patrick is known for collecting antiques. He bought it cheaply but sold it high, so he had made a lot of money from calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

He also had many valuable authentic antiques, which he obtained by dirty means.

"Mr Woodley, may I take some for you?" Patrick said because he didn't want Cyril to pick some valuable ones.

"That's it. I will do it myself, "' Cyril said with a thin smile. He immediately saw the thought.Patrick.

Patrick must lead Cyril.

As Cyril walked into the room, he was astonished by what he saw. It was more than he could have imagined.he smiled knowing he would find the perfect gift here.

Calligraphy and painting mess up walls. The tables held various antiques and jade, even stumps, iron, and ancient swords.

Unfortunately, most of them are incomplete. Cyril felt enchanted, as he never expected Patrick to have collected so much.

"Patrick, good for you!" Cyril said as he looked around, He looked through the collection and directed his gaze at the crystal-clear purple jade bracelet.

"They are all worthless things." Patrick wiped the sweat off his forehead. It takes a lot of effort to collect it. Now Cyril is here, and Patrick is afraid he will lose many of them.

"Everything is original, isn't it?" Cyril said as he took the bracelet in his hand. He began to look at it with interest.

"They are. But most of them are incomplete and worthless. Take the bracelet in your hand as an example. There's only one now. A princess wears it" Patrick said honestly.

"You know a lot about antiques!" Cyril took the bracelet as a gift for Rainee.

"I know very little" said Patrick.

Cyril looked around. He's gonna find some paintings for Rainee's grandfather.

But, since he did not know his worth, he decided to pick some handsome ones.

His eyes swept over the paintings on the wall. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to the clear painting on the wall.

"Let this one down" Cyril said as he pointed to the painting.

Patrick's surprised. He didn't want to put it down. But when he saw Howie glaring at him, he thought it better to reluctantly give it to Cyril.

Although Cyril knew nothing about painting, he liked the bright colors of this painting. But when he saw the name of the painter on his back, his face sparkled.

"Wow! That was amazing. " The painter was famous, and it made the painting a precious birthday present.

Cyril's resolute eyes made Patrick's face lifted in a sorrowful expression of loss.

That painting is worth over 5 million dollars! He had it by playing tricks at the auction, but now he had to give it away.

"Patrick, thank you for the bracelet and the painting as compensation for my mental loss." Cyril was very happy.

"It's a good thing you're satisfied, and thank you for giving me some leeway." Patrick had no choice, even if he was feeling sad. This was the worst day of his life!

Cyril decides that he will also give Henric a lesson for provoking him many times.

When they returned to Joyce's room, they saw that Henric's face was pale with fear.

"Henric, are you saying that you want me to kneel down and beg you?" Cyril said as he joked while walking to Henric.

"Cyril, I was wrong. Please forgive me and let me go. I won't trouble you anymore. " Henric glanced at Howie and had to admit that everything was lost.

"let you go? I can do that. " Cyril stop. "Only if you transfer 10% of your share of Bright Mountain Villa No. 3 to me. Don'worry. I'll pay the transfer fee."

"That's impossible. You can only dream of having it!" Henric thought, "I'll never agree with that. The shares were given by my father, and are my main source of income. In addition, Bright Mountain Villa No. 3 is worth at least 15 million dollars, while the transfer fee is only 15 thousand dollars! Pay 15 grand to get 15 million? What kind of deal is that? I can't take it!"

"You're kidding me, aren't you?" Without saying anything, Cyril slapped Henric in the face.

That slap really brought Henric back to the real world. Seeing Howie's men and Howie's obedience to Cyril, Henric is desperate.

he immediately swallowed. He knew he had been defeated. Although unwilling, he could only nod in agreement. He felt that he could not read Cyril, but he would take revenge in the future.

Cyril was satisfied with Henric's attitude. Soon, he asked Howie to draft a contract and sign it for 15 thousand dollars.

"Thank you, Mr. Zellweger," Cyril told Henric, holding the contract in his hand.

After signing the papers, Henric collapsed to the ground.

"Howie, let's go" Cyril told Howie. So they left the Jade Dragon Club. Cyril was satisfied because he had gained a lot of things.
