Chapter 461 Aren't You Lacking Sincerity?

James turned his head in surprise to look at Sophia. "What do you need that herb for?"

Snow Mountain Willow was indeed very expensive, but for someone who didn't need it, having it wouldn't be of much use, except for giving it as a gift.

But James couldn't think of any reason Sophia would need to give Snow Mountain Willow as a gift.

Another reason was that James knew Emily also really wanted this Snow Mountain Willow.

As far as he knew, Emily had gone to the Empire of Novara specifically for this Snow Mountain Willow.

And if it weren't for this Snow Mountain Willow, she wouldn't have almost been taken advantage of by Gregory.

"It's not useful right now, but it's a rare herb, and I've never seen one before. I just want it," Sophia said, pouting.

She said that, but what she was really thinking about was the all-white plant she had given away before.

Back then, even if she couldn't get that all-white plant, as long as she had this Snow Mountain Willow, she wouldn't have been overshadowed by Emily.

James focused on the road ahead. "If you want something, you can pick anything you like, and I'll have Andrew pay for it. But not this Snow Mountain Willow. I need it."

"What do you need it for? Weren't you planning to give it to someone? You can give it to someone else but not to me?" Sophia's words had a hint of discontent.A thought suddenly crossed Sophia's mind: was James planning to give this to Emily?

Emily came from a family of doctors, and such a precious Snow Mountain Willow would definitely be something Emily or her family would want.

Her expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly smiled again. "James, why can't you give it to me? Are you planning to give it to someone else?"

"Yes," James replied without changing his expression.

Sophia's heart sank, but she quickly smiled again. "James, you wouldn't use this herb to woo a woman, would you?"

As soon as she asked, she clenched her fists tightly.

"No." James's voice was calm and unwavering.

He indeed wouldn't use this Snow Mountain Willow to woo a woman.

But in James's view, if it was for Emily, it wasn't wooing. At most, it was compensation for a friend or a transaction.

Sophia felt relieved upon hearing his answer, thinking to herself that as long as it wasn't for Emily, it was fine.

"In that case, I don't want it. You keep it for something important," Sophia said generously.

James glanced at her through the rearview mirror, a bit surprised. "Sophia, you're being very good today."

To be precise, she was being very good right now.

Sophia's heart bubbled with joy at the compliment. "I'm going to be your wife, so of course, I put you first and listen to everything you say."

"Emily, there's news about the Snow Mountain Willow, and the other party is willing to meet," Christopher said.

Christopher's call came in just as Emily had finished her night shift and was lying in bed at home.

Hearing Christopher's voice through the phone, she immediately sat up. "Really? Did they say when they want to meet? You handle this personally. No matter how high the price they ask, as long as it's not outrageous, you can agree."

"Emily," Christopher said hesitantly, "I can't handle this."

Christopher then explained that the other party wanted to meet her in person and had already set a time and place.

Emily raised an eyebrow. Was this aimed at her?

But some people were particular and didn't want their things to be sold casually. Wanting to meet the buyer in person was understandable.

Thinking this, but having experienced a lot, Emily remained cautious.

That evening, Emily drove herself to the designated café.

She glanced at the window of the private room upstairs and smiled. "This is the place. You go ahead."

A girl about Emily's age, dressed similarly, sitting in the back seat, smiled. "Okay. Don't worry, Emily. I'll make sure to bring the Snow Mountain Willow back safely."

"Just do your best," Emily said, not pushing too hard.

She really wanted the Snow Mountain Willow, but she also cared deeply about the safety of her people.

Christopher, sitting next to the girl, Aurora Rivera, smiled. "Emily, you're so smart."

Emily smirked and turned to Aurora. "If the other party just wants to meet the buyer, you should be able to bring the Snow Mountain Willow back tonight. If not," her eyes narrowed, "you can remind them that I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Aurora was also from GN Base, and she was very beautiful.

However, anyone who underestimated her because of her looks was in for a rude awakening.Her skills would show anyone who tried to mess with her just how clueless they were.

After a few more words, Aurora got out of the car.

At the same time, Christopher got a message on his phone: [Sending someone to impersonate the buyer? You guys have no sincerity. If that's how you're acting, then I'm not selling the Snow Mountain Willow. You can go back.]
