When Uriel saw the old man's ability to switch emotions seamlessly, he couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being an old man.

But he thought for a while and then said, "Old man, thank you for your kindness. I know that you are a person who keeps your promises, but in my opinion, let's let it go now!"

The smile on the old man's face disappeared instantly. He looked at Uriel solemnly and asked, "Uriel, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you are still angry about what happened before?"

During the dinner, Celine Price couldn't help being shocked after hearing his words. She raised her head and looked at him. What did Uriel mean?

The rest of the Price Family also looked at Uriel.

Uriel looked around, finally looked at the old man, and said with a smile, "Marriage is a major event in life. As Celine Price said, Celine Price and I have never met, and we are not familiar with each other, so we just did it so hastily. I don’t think it’s appropriate to get married, and besides, I don’t think Miss Celine Price has any interest in me, and I don’t want to force it!”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and glanced at Celine Price.

Celine Price looked at Uriel with a complicated expression. She originally thought that she was determined to marry him, but she didn't expect that he would refuse like that!

Although she was relieved in her heart, for some reason, she was a little angry in her heart. She thought that I, Celine Price, was a eldest lady. I wanted to have a good figure, good looks, and a good family background. Why did you reject me?

Everyone else at the table also had surprised expressions on their faces. They had not expected that Uriel would take the initiative to refuse the marriage. You know, marrying Celine Price would be like a pie in the sky. For any man, it is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.

Edgar Price only has one daughter. In the future, his property will not be inherited by Celine Price's husband.

Alana was sitting at the end of the banquet. When she heard the words, she couldn't help but snorted softly, and whispered disdainfully, "What a complete fool, refusing such a good thing, but it's okay. Once this kid intervenes, I’m afraid it’s not good for our son!”

Jeremy Price next to her glanced at him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Edgar Price, on the other hand, looked at Uriel with a puzzled expression.

You know, the outstanding young people lining up to chase Celine Price were like crucian carp crossing the river. Uriel actually refused. He originally thought that Uriel was just a country boy with superb medical skills, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he Some people can't understand this young man.

But after taking a look at his daughter, he felt relieved. He was just such a precious daughter, and he didn't want to see her unhappy. It would be great if Uriel could give up on his own initiative.

After listening to Uriel's words, the old man pondered for a long time and said a little unwillingly, "Uriel, I think you and Celine are really well matched. You also know that Edgar has such a daughter. In the future, the Price Family's family fortune will be all I want to leave it to Celine, she is a girl, if you can help me, I will be relieved!"

The faces of the other Price family members couldn't help but change after hearing this. What the old man said was tantamount to handing over the entire the Price Family to Uriel!

Edgar Price looked at the old man with some confusion, while Jeremy Price and his wife didn't look good, especially Alana, whose face was very gloomy, because she heard from the old man's words just now that her son would not have a share in the Price Family's property in the future.

Uriel looked around and finally looked at the old man. He knew that the old man was very sincere, but he was so forceful!

He smiled and said, "Thank you, old man, for trusting me so much, but this must never happen!"

The old man saw that he was not tempted at all in the face of such a huge temptation. He was surprised in his heart and couldn't help but sigh, with a look of disappointment on his face.

Celine Price sat in the banquet, looked at Uriel angrily, and said angrily, "What's so great about you? My grandfather gave the Price Family and I to you, but you don't want it. You are too arrogant. Do you think Who are you?"

The old man suddenly glanced at Callum next to him. Callum understood, and suddenly walked to the side and took a stack of documents and handed them to the old man.

After the old man took it, he handed it directly to Uriel.

Uriel was confused, "What is this?"

"This is 30% of my shares in Xiongchu Group. Now I will give it all to you. All you have to do is sign it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Uriel looked shocked, especially the younger generation of the Price Family, whose faces were full of shock.

Xiongchu Group is a family business of the Price Family family and a listed company with a market value of tens of billions. Thirty percent of the shares is worth several billions. Moreover, once Uriel accepts it, he will immediately become Xiongchu Group. The largest shareholder of Chu Group.

Edgar Price looked at the old man with a very solemn expression and said, "Father, this matter is too important. Please think twice!"

This is tantamount to handing over control of the entire Xiongchu Group. If something happens, it may shake the foundation of the Price Family.

Alana shouted with disbelief, "Dad, are you crazy? Do you want to give so many shares to this outsider?"

Only Celine Price remained silent and did not speak. She kept looking at Uriel with her eyes. She didn't believe that Uriel could not be tempted?

She tried to catch a hint of his thoughts from Uriel's expression, but unfortunately, Uriel was always smiling, as if he didn't realize the value of these shares at all.

The old man looked around, looked at his descendants, and said solemnly, "I have already decided on this matter, and it is useless for you to object. My 30% share should originally belong to Uriel. If it had been Without his master’s help, our the Price Family would not have achieved what we have today. As a human being, we should be grateful!”

After saying that, he snorted with disappointment and turned to look at Uriel.

"Uriel, this 30% share is my wish, you must accept it!"

With a smile on his lips, Uriel looked around and found that the Price family members were looking at him with very bad expressions, especially Alana, who looked at him as if she wanted to eat someone.

He couldn't help but smile and said calmly to the old man, "Old man, I am very grateful to you for being so generous, but I can't take these 30% of the shares!"

As he spoke, he pushed the document in front of him.

The old man looked at him in surprise, "Uriel, you have to know that these shares are worth billions!"

Uriel smiled slightly and said calmly, "Money is like a floating cloud to me. If I, Uriel, want to make money, I can do it in ten thousand ways!"

The old man looked at him with a complicated expression, with a bit of disappointment and a bit of admiration in his eyes. After thinking about it, he sighed, "Well, he is indeed a disciple of Taoist Priest Qingxuan. He has beauty and money in front of him. Tempting, the old man admires you! Come on, the old man proposes a toast to you!"
