Chapter 1092:
Herbert was left speechless. Nate really knew how to strike where it hurt!
Jax sighed and then turned to his assistant. “Go ahead and transfer the money to Mr. Hopkins’ account.”
As the future head of the Burton family, there was no way he could be short on funds.
The assistant hesitated, his face filled with uncertainty. Seeing this, Herbert's anxiety grew.
The assistant spoke slowly. “Sir, with ten to one odds, the payment comes to one hundred and eighty million...”

forced a bitter smile. “Well, well, isn’t that just perfect!”

With the two stones Corrine had taken and the 180 million he now owed, his expenses for the month had
completely outstripped his earnings.
But, truth be told, Corrine was something else!
How could he have ever believed the rumors that she was just another spoiled lady?
As Nate descended the stairs, Jax stepped forward with a nod, his posture steeped in humility and respect. “Mr.
Hopkins,” he greeted softly.
