Chapter 1697

"This is what’s called ‘All’s fair in love and war’," Arabella smiled, tossing Sean's own words back at

him.

Sean's smile turned even more devilish, likely not expecting the young lady to be so cunning. With a

casual flick of his wrist, his men stood down, their weapons no longer pointed at them.

"Sean said he'd sell me the island," Arabella stated as she pulled out a contract from her bag and laid it

on the hospital tray table. "I've already drawn up the agreement."

Of course, she had to keep her true identity secret, so the signature on the document was Horace's.

"Now it just needs Sean's signature."

As she spoke, Arabella placed a check on the tray table, “Here are the five million dollars.”

All duly noted with the date and amount.

"All Sean has to do is write his name on the 'pay to the order of' line, and then he can cash it at the

bank."

"Hmm."

Sean couldn't help but chuckle with a playful interest, seemingly surprised that the young lady was so

well-prepared. "And what if I refuse to sign?"

"Then there's no guarantee for your follow-up treatment," Arabella reminded him bluntly, "What if the

seventeenth ingredient for your treatment slips my mind, or if you suffer complications after surgery, or

need an additional operation to remove blood clots from your heart?"

Steward hadn’t anticipated Arabella daring to use the prescription as leverage over Sean. But what

really threw them was realizing that indeed, they had no way to counter her.

"Pass me the pen."

Sean maintained a carefree smile, looking more like a tiger toying with a kitten than a man at Arabella's

mercy.

Reluctantly, Steward uncapped the pen and handed it to Sean. He watched as Sean swiftly signed his

name.

In the next instant, Arabella snatched the contract away.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Arabella said as she turned to leave.

Sean gestured his men to open the door for her, and the whole room observed as Arabella and her

entourage left unobstructed.

"Arabella, you're incredible," Horace looked at Arabella with undisguised admiration. "No wonder you

said after the surgery, you'd have a way to get me out."

Arabella was the epitome of reassurance!

In the hospital room.

"Sean, once she gives us the seventeenth ingredient, I swear I'll bring her back," Steward pledged,

anxious to soothe any potential anger from Sean.

"It's been a while since I've met someone this interesting," Sean reflected, lips curving broadly into a

smile. "Don't you think she's about the same age as Serena, but far more intriguing?"

"She's nothing like Serena." Steward jumped to Serena’s defense.

"No, she's decidedly more fascinating than Serena."

Shortly afterwards, Steward received a phone call and his expressions turned quickly to awkwardness.

After a series of beeps signaled the end of the call, he turned to Sean with a look too complex for

words.

"Sean, the caller just informed us there's no seventeenth ingredient. The prescription contains only

sixteen."

In other words, they had been played by the young lady!

Sean's smile widened; The young lady really did play by her own rules.

Although she wasn’t his cup of tea, an idea came to him—it wouldn't be bad to have her as a little

sister. At the very least, life would never be dull.

"Sean, do you want me to fetch her back?"

"There’s no need," Sean replied, displaying no interest in capturing her, on the contrary, feeling

somewhat excited about their next encounter. He wondered what kind of surprise this young lady would

bring him.
