“Lend you money?" Percy raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this was Jean's true motive.

His tone sounded like he was reluctant to lend him money, so Jean had to summon up the courage and say, "Mr. Mallory, even if one provides clues to the police, one will still get an informer's fee. Although you already know that Marie was the one who betrayed Nina, I still intended to tell you anyway, so there has to be an informer's fee, right?"

"How much do you want?" Percy did not agree. Instead, he answered him with a question.

"Isn't that up to you? How much do you think Nina is worth?" Jean rubbed his hands together and gestured to Percy.

"Nina is a priceless treasure. She can't be compared to a woman like Marie," said Percy with a cold gaze. He picked up his phone and instructed his assistant, "Come in."

The door to the reception room was pushed open.

Jean was worried that Percy was going to chase him out until he heard him say, "Give Mr. Langdon a hundred dollars in cash."

A hundred dollars?

He came all the way here to show his goodwill, yet it was only worth a hundred dollars?

Jean thought Percy was too stingy, but he dared not say anything. He was afraid that if he said something, he would not even have the hundred dollars.

Besides, the hundred dollars would be able to solve his urgent needs right now. At least it would allow him to survive here for the next few days and figure out how to get money.

The assistant was at a loss. "Boss, I don't have any cash on me. Who still carries cash on them nowadays?"

Jean's expression changed as he quickly said, "It doesn't have to be cash. You can transfer it to me too."

The assistant looked at Percy.

"Give it to him," said Percy. He had no plans of doing it himself as Jean was not worthy.

"Yes, Boss." The assistant took out his phone to scan Jean's QR code and transferred a hundred dollars to him.
