Chapter 764:
Silver Fox held Burnet's gaze, hoping for a display of understanding and forgiveness. Instead, he looked at her with a slight smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Being friends with you wouldn't interest me. I'm not exactly short on friends," he said coolly.
Confused, Silver Fox furrowed her brow. "But didn't you say you wanted to be friends the other day?"
"You also claimed you were a lesbian that day, didn't you?" Burnet retorted. “If you can lie, why can't I change my mind?"
Silver Fox was at a loss for words. Marissa had told her that while they discussed plans outside the car, Burnet, though semi-conscious and bound in the car, had overheard everything. It was clear he knew Silver Fox wasn't actually a lesbian.
After a heavy silence, she asked, her voice tinged with despair, "So what are you planning to do, Mr. Hoffman? You aren't considering putting me in jail, are you? We are like family. Can't you just cut me some slack?"
"Like family?" Burnet raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his expression. "That's news to me."
Frustrated but persistent, Silver Fox countered, "Yes, we are. Xander and I have both trained at the Doomsday Base, making us practically brother and sister. And you're a close friend of Black Snake's husband, so I'm like your family, right?"
Burnet's amusement was brief, his gaze turning icy as he replied, "Saying something like that gets you nowhere."
Losing her patience, Silver Fox pressed, "Then what do you want?"
Burnet paused for a moment before stating firmly, "I think we should consider Black Snake's suggestion."
"Think back to what you discussed outside the car last night," Burnet prompted. "Had I not been incapacitated at that time, I would have told you it was a decent proposal."
Silver Fox racked her brain, and when she recalled Black Snake's outlandish idea that she should have a son with Burnet, her eyes widened in shock. "Burnet, are you suggesting I should have a son with you?"
"Yes," Burnet replied firmly. "If you do that, I could forgive last night's incident. Otherwise, I can't just let it go."
Silver Fox stared at him, disbelief painting her features. "Are you serious?"
"Yes." Burnet nodded. "You want a daughter to inherit your grandmother's wealth, right? I can agree to that. Our son can inherit the Hoffman family's legacy, and our daughter can take over your family's estate. It works out perfectly."
"But why me?" Silver Fox was baffled. "Many women would jump at the chance to bear your child. Why choose me?"
Expecting a compliment on her beauty or talents, she was taken aback by Burnet's blunt reply. "If you don't agree, my suffering would have been for nothing."
Dumbfounded by his logic, Silver Fox shook her head. The thought was absurd- Burnet, known for his intellect and savvy, resorting to such a rationale seemed implausible.
As the head of the Hoffman Group, he was renowned for his intelligence, wasn't he? It seemed inconceivable that he would propose something so irrational.
