    　　"Thirty million? Did you honestly think that Eugene is personally going to give you the opportunity and capital to fight him back when he plans on ruining the Pei family?"

    　　Lance was silent for a while, and still pleaded, "Selena, as long as you try your best to help, I will think of other ways to save the Pei family."
