Honey, You're a Billionaire?

Jonathan's sneer froze. He could not believe his ears.

After what felt like an eternity, Jonathan finally spoke.

"What ... did you just say? Say that again!"

Blinking, Rose said earnestly, "Let's get married!"

She could pay him for it.

She had already thought things through. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the easiest way was to make it a trade.

There would be no emotional strings attached. She would pay him to marry her, and he would take the money.

Also, due to the special nature of his job, he was the perfect candidate!

Jonathan thought about it for a moment. Then, a look of disdain and disgust appeared in his cold eyes.

He could tell what she was trying to do now.

Scoffing to himself, he assumed that despite not knowing who he was, she knew he was no ordinary man. Therefore, after heading home and thinking about it, she came back to him.

Was she trying to marry a rich man, or was it the money she was after?

Jonathan recalled the red stain on the sheets this morning. The guilt he felt dissipated.

After all, he had taken her last night. He would give her a sum of money to dismiss her.

Jonathan's curt voice was flippant as he said, "I've met many women like you. How much are you asking for?"

Stunned, Rose did not speak.

How much? Was he negotiating the price for marrying her?

Rose never expected him to be so straightforward. But now that she thought about it, she supposed it was to be expected from an experienced man like him.

Taking a step backward, Rose examined the man from head to toe.

She considered the price carefully.

For some reason, Jonathan suddenly felt displeased. She was looking at him as if she was sizing up an item or a product.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

And he seemed to be the so-called product in question!

"How much?" Jonathan pressed impatiently.

"Three ... million dollars?"

Rose felt uneasy as she stared at him.

He was rather handsome. Was the offer of three million too little?

As expected, Jonathan's well-defined brows creased.

Three million dollars?

He had expected her to take advantage of the situation and demand a fortune. But surprisingly, she only asked for three million dollars.

"Hah..." Jonathan chuckled in disdain.

Rose's heart skipped a beat. She hastily raised the price. "Five Five million dollars. Five million dollars at most!"

After she graduated, Jamie did not allow her to join Celeste Jewels. She did not use her family's money, either.

Little by little, she saved up five million dollars by accepting design commissions. She usually received commissions from an upperclassman.

It was her entire fortune.

Jonathan looked even more scornful now.

He was convinced that Rose was an ignorant woman.

But it had been her first time, after all. He would not treat her unfairly.

Reminded of the humiliation he felt from that coin, Jonathan decided to give her ten million dollars. He would humiliate her with ten million dollars.

With a sneer on his face, he was about to say something when the woman spoke up first.

"Alright, fine. What about ten million dollars?"

Rose went all out. She looked pleadingly at Jonathan before she said, "Can I give you five million dollars first?

"As for the remaining five million dollars, it might take a month... Or maybe I can pay you in installments?"

Fearing that he would not agree, she continued, "Don't worry, I have the money.

"Give me your bank account number. I'll transfer five million dollars to you right now to prove my sincerity." Rose took out her phone.

Once again, Jonathan's expression froze. He was shocked.

He wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him.

Did she say that she was going to give him ten million dollars?

"Come on. Give me your account number," Rose urged.

She looked at him in anticipation. It was as if she were a wolf coaxing a rabbit to fall into a trap.

Jonathan studied her intently. She could not tell what he was thinking by the look in his eyes.

A moment later, he gave her his account number.

Within a minute, he received a notification. Five million dollars had been transferred to his account.

Rose let out a long sigh. Even though she was reluctant to part with the huge sum, she had finally found her bridegroom.

The next step would be to register their marriage and become officially married.

Rose did not want to waste even a single second. "Let's go back to our respective homes and get the necessary documents. We'll meet at the county clerk's office an hour from now." With that, Rose left.

Jonathan looked at the bank transfer notification on his phone. He was in a daze.

He could not believe that she had seriously given him five million dollars.

She had given him money to marry her.

"Hah..." He had never encountered anything like this before.

Jonathan was suddenly intrigued.

As if to see what she was up to, Jonathan made a call. "Uncle Charlie, do you have my identification documents with you? Yes, I have need of them ..."
