Chapter 298
“What’s with that look on your face like you can’t breathe from being heartbroken?” Sanya said. “Who provoked you? Tell me, and I’ll beat him up for you.”
She noticed that Logan was tense and looked grim, which made her quite puzzled. ‘He was fine a moment ago, she thought. How come his expressions change now? It can’t be because I provoked him, right? No way. Absolutely no way!
Staring at Sanya intently, Logan controlled his emotions and asked, “Do you know how much that bottle of red wine costs?”
Sanya asked naturally, “Tens of thousands of dollars, right? What’s wrong?”
This time, she wasn’t intentionally provoking Logan. Rather, it was because she genuinely didn’t have a strong concept of money. After all, the Special Operations Division was rolling in wealth under Clifford’s management.
As the government agency with the best benefits in Moonhuntland, it was an organization that everyone fought hard to get into. This was because the expenditure standards there were the highest in the entire Moonhuntland.
Even the lowest–ranking employee could receive a year–end bonus of about 300 thousand dollars. The Special Operations Division was established to oversee war machines. So, when it came to their expenses, they would use the best, never depriving them.
As a member of the war machines, Sanya had seen many high–end things, thanks to Clifford. For example, red wine that cost over 300 thousand dollars was a common thing at gatherings to them.
Sanya said, “Tens of thousands of dollars… What’s wrong?”
When Logan heard Sanya’s words, he was overwhelmed. He didn’t know what wrong he had done to deserve having such a troublemaker in his life.
Looking at Logan’s reaction and connecting it to the question he had asked earlier, Sanya quickly understood what was bothering him.
She chuckled and said, “A bottle of wine can make you so upset? Mr. Leith, you are clearly a level above Clifford in terms of rank. How come, when compared to Clifford, you’re doing so much worse?”
‘Clifford’s side makes tens of millions of dollars a day, she thought. ‘Food, clothing, and expenses are the best. But over here, a bottle of wine worth tens of thousands of dollars makes Logan feel heartbroken. It’s clear that this guy really hasn’t been greedy!
With this thought in mind, Sanya turned off the stove, walked up to Logan, handed him a card, and said, “Take it.”
Logan glanced at the card Sanya handed over and frowned slightly, saying, “What do you mean?”
Sanya’s lips curled into a smile, exuding the aura of a wealthy woman who spent money like it was nothing. “Since I’ve opened your bottle of red wine, I’ll compensate you with a bottle. Just go to a wine store, pick a bottle you like, and feel free to use this card.”
past, it was Clifford War machines had carried out many extreme missions, and their salaries were exceptionally high. In the who usually managed their salaries. Now that they had returned to their families, their cards were returned to them.
Sanya glanced at the amount of the account, which was tens of millions of dollars. It was more than enough to compensate Logan for a bottle of wine.
Logan was left speechless.
He lowered his head and glanced at the card that Sanya handed over. However, he quickly retracted his gaze and said indifferently, “I’m good.”

With that said, he turned around and walked toward the stairs, seemingly intending to go straight to work after packing his things.
Sanya saw through his thoughts and asked with a smile, “You don’t want to have breakfast, huh? Are you mad? Even if you’re mad, don’t make light of your beloved red wine. It’s tens of thousands of dollars a bottle. If you’re not eating, I’ll pour it our
now.”
She did a good job, immediately controlling Logan with these words.
This was because Logan was not someone who would waste food. Secondly, his heart really ached for the wine.
So, he gradually slowed down his footsteps as he walked upstairs. Eventually, he stopped and turned around to look at Sanya.
Sanya leaned against the wall by the kitchen door with her arms crossed over her chest. Her delicate, picture–perfect face showed a slight arch in her attractive brows. She was very satisfied with Logan turning back.
Like a smug little fox who had its prey in its hands, she turned around happily with a relaxed demeanor and said, “Wait here. I’ll serve you beef brisket.”
While Sanya and Logan were sitting together for a meal, she smiled at him as she watched him quietly eating with his head down, raising her eyebrows as she asked, “How is it? The taste of money is not bad, right?”
Logan was at a loss for words.
Initially, he thought the food tasted quite good, but when he heard Sanya mention “the taste of money,” his appetite instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
He put down the spoon, looked at Sanya, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “How much longer are you staying at my house?”
Sanya clasped her fingers and rested her chin on them as she said with a smile, “That depends on you. If you agree to work with me now, I can leave now. If you don’t agree, even if I stay here for three months, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Logan was left speechless, unable to refute.
He thought, ‘It seems that there’s no better option than just waiting it out now!‘
At this moment, Sanya spoke up again. “By the way, there’s something else I need to tell you.”
Logan glanced at Sanya, signaling her to speak.
Sanya smiled and said, “A few of my friends are coming to see me. I’ve sent them your address. Just giving you a heads–up.”
When Logan heard this, he could not help but take another deep breath. Enunciating each word as he spoke, he then reminded Sanya, “This is my home.”
Sanya tilted her head and said innocently, “Yes, I know. What are you trying to say next?”
Logan was left speechless.
He knew Sanya was faking it. She was deliberately trying to annoy him into losing his composure so that he would have no choice but to compromise and let her control him. He thought, Good trick, but it’s still too childish.
‘If I were ten years younger, maybe I’d fall for it. But now, I won’t
‘Once I endure for three months, Sanya will have no reason to pester me anymore. So, I don’t have to argue with her. The more worked up I get, the more it plays into her hands. I’ll stay calm and wait. In the end, it will be her who gets antsy.

She thought, ‘He thinks my tactics are too childish, huh? However, people are often most vulnerable when they think they have everything under control. I’ll slowly push him into a tough spot and test his boundaries, making him eventually submit
to me.
The two of them sat together quietly and had breakfast, using all their cleverness and strategy in the same situation. If Nina saw this, she would feel a strong sense of envy. She could never have this much cleverness and strategy in her entire life.
“Ding–dong…”
Just as Sanya and Logan were still eating, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Sanya got up first and said, “I’ll get the door.”
Feeling speechless. Logan then raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, deep in thought.
He thought, ‘The person coming to see me at this hour… Could it be…‘
Sanya opened the main door.
A dignified and well–dressed woman stood outside the door, looking very beautiful and elegant. She was gentle, and her gaze was filled with affection. When the door was opened, the woman had a happy smile on her face, as it was the first time the door was opened so quickly.
However, when she clearly saw the person who opened the door, her initially rosy cheeks instantly turned pale.
Staring blankly at the beautiful girl in a man’s shirt at the doorway, she felt an intense sense of discomfort. Her body trembled uncontrollably as she asked in a hoarse voice, “Wh–who are you? Why are you here?”
