Chapter 1024: Chapter 554 There are people in the court who get things done_2

At first, Sean Knight thought that Aria Wilson had said something to Ibrahim Edwards, so Ibrahim’s Assistant took the initiative to make the phone call.

But when he answered the phone, the words spoken by the other party made him somewhat annoyed.

"Mr. Knight, when will your money arrive? Didn’t we tell you before? To facilitate your Oilfield matters, Minister Edwards has already expended a great deal of effort to persuade several key figures.

The money you gave us before is simply not enough. When will you transfer the remaining 5 million dollars? If it’s not transferred soon, the Minister will stop caring about this issue!

As for any losses that may result from this, we will take no responsibility whatsoever!"

On hearing this, Sean truly became furious.

During the discussions with Aria yesterday, Sean had already learned that in such matters involving Oilfields, her brother Abdullah usually let things take their own course.

After all, in this country, although Oilfields represent big business, the outsourced Oilfields are by no means small.

The country itself is essentially situated atop a Large Oilfield, which is why it is very wealthy. Aside from a few Large Oilfields that the Kingdom is exploiting on its own, other smaller Oilfields have all been contracted out.

After all, the country does not have that much labor or energy.

Moreover, contracting out Oilfields to bring various powers into the equation is inherently beneficial for the country.

At the very least, by entangling all parties of interest, it makes it easier to protect the country’s interests.

Thus, for matters like these Oilfields, simply briefing Abdullah was essentially sufficient for Ibrahim to get approval.

There was no need to spend money.

Aria even hinted that she could help Sean recover that 5 million.

Sean thought since the money had already been paid, there was no need to ask for it back. After all, they would likely have dealings in the future.

He had not expected that the other party would now be making such an exorbitant demand!

If it weren’t for the favors from Aria, Sean would already feel impelled to bind Ibrahim and give him a sound thrashing.

Asking for more money?

The other party must have thought Sean was a pushover, so after the Assistant finished a long speech, he clearly stated that the final deadline for the payment was today, and then he hung up the phone.

Sean wanted to curse but found himself at a loss for words, feeling stifled.

These guys really took the feather as the Arrow of Command!

Without Aria, Sean would never tolerate them, especially since he was not without connections of his own!

However, Aria hadn’t called yet, was there some issue?

Then, he received a call from Aria.

"Mr. Knight, I’m already at the Entrance to your Room. Is it convenient for you to open the door?"

Sean was somewhat surprised, but he went forward and opened the door, then he saw Aria, splendidly dressed.

She was beautifully attired!

Suddenly, Sean understood why Aria had arrived a little late.

Although she was still wearing a headscarf, it wasn’t in a traditional style, but rather draped like a shawl over her head.

Her hair was done up high, adorned with two pieces of gold jewelry that were clearly not the work of an ordinary designer.

Aria was already beautiful, and dressed so exquisitely, plus with the added allure of a Princess’s identity, Sean found himself astonished by the sight of her.

Seeing the look in Sean’s eyes, Aria felt that her lengthy preparations were truly worthwhile.

"I am sorry for being late," Aria said as she stepped in and explained:

"Last night’s incident was reported to my brother by the bodyguards, and he spoke to me about your Matter this Morning, hoping that I would... be cautious."

As Aria said this, she lowered her head, her eyes filled with both shyness and disappointment.

She had been truly happy to see Sean, overlooking many things.

In Sean’s view, it was a transaction, but to Aria, Sean at that time was the Warrior who rescued her.

Later, she learned that Sean was indeed wealthy, but that he also had many intimate female friends, even including the Princess of a European Royal Family!

Aria felt as if she had been struck a sharp blow.

Abdullah was very open-minded and did not command Aria to avoid Sean, but only hoped that she would treat their relationship with caution.

Aria thought about Sean’s attitude from last night and began to understand.

This Pisces Man seemed to have a history that might be heading in the direction of a scumbag.

But Aria believed it was not Sean’s fault, he had just encountered several girls who liked him.

To not reject, to not make a statement? (Typical scumbag behavior)

Hence, after a bit of hesitation, Aria decided she still wanted to appear before Sean in her most stunning guise.

"You are truly beautiful today," Sean said, explaining his own lapse in composure, "I was a bit rude."

"No, I am very happy," Aria confessed, her heart fluttering like a startled Deer, for she was clearly challenging the traditional customs.

If her father were still in charge, she would not have been able to do such a thing!

And she would not have been allowed!

Aria was now even more grateful that the country was under her brother Abdullah’s stewardship.

"Ibrahim’s Assistant made another call to me just now," Sean broke the romantic mood very abruptly, for he did not want this amorous atmosphere to continue any longer, lest he ended up doing something improper.

"What did he say?" Aria felt a little disappointed by Sean’s words, but she couldn’t help it; they had almost finished discussing important matters last night, and now she didn’t know what else to say.

"He said I should prepare another 5 million dollars, or else the whole deal will fall through."

"How can he be so shameless?" Aria burst into anger instantly. This was a typical case of personal profiteering!
