The next day, Jonah contacted a nonlocal attorney and had the latter hurry to Eastcliff to take care of this case.
Upon hearing this news, Chloe was filled with smugness, favonovel.com even made a special trip to the Cunningham Residence to brag about this. “Hmph, Mr. Manning is crafty enough to screw us behind our backs after failing to swindle us out of our money. How dare favonovel.com bar the attorneys in Eastcliff from taking up our case? Haha! Who does favonovel.com think favonovel.com is? Can favonovel.com ride roughshod over everyone in the world? Can’t you see that my hubby has managed to find another attorney from somewhere else in the end?”
On the other hand, Minerva stared fixedly at Sasha. “We made an agreement last night, Sasha. No matter how much money we have to pay, you’ll have to contribute 1.6 million. Don’t go back on this when you realize later on that the money to be spent isn’t much. Otherwise, things will get very unpleasant! Hmph!”
Sasha replied impatiently, “Don’t worry, for I won’t go back on what I’ve promised. Even if you solve this matter without spending a penny, I will give you 1.6 million!”
Minerva was delighted at once. To her, this matter was only a trifling one, so it would cost no more than a few hundred thousand. If this was really solved, favonovel.com might end up with 1.3 million to 1.4 million remaining in hand. By then, favonovel.com would be able to buy a Porsche sports car! Minerva was totally immersed in favonovel.com daydream.
Meanwhile, Demi curled favonovel.com lips into a sneer. “Minerva, keep in mind that my family will only pay 1.6 million no matter how much the settlement is in the end. Even if you guys end up having to pay 1.61 million, our family won’t pay an extra penny. Do you understand me?”
Minerva sneered. “Don’t worry! We paid great attention to the spirit of contract more than anything else back when we were overseas. You’ll pay no more than the amount you’ve agreed on. There’ll be no problems as long as you don’t go back on what you’ve promised!”
Demi immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, for we definitely won’t go back on our word. However, since you’ve mentioned the contract, why don’t we simply make a written agreement lest any of us go back on our promise by then?”
Minerva bobbed favonovel.com head at once. “Sure, that’s great! Regardless of how much we have to pay in total, we’ll make an agreement so that your family pays 1.6 million by then!”
Helen looked helpless upon hearing their words. “Is this even necessary? You two are cousins!”
“Yes, it is!” replied Demi and Minerva in unison. Both of them were relatively mean, so they were unwilling to let the other party take advantage of themselves. In the end, they made an agreement and signed their names on it.
Minerva held the written agreement with a sneer. She then said, “If you guys refuse to pay the money by then, I’ll sue you all. Hmph!”
On the other hand, Demi laughed. “Haha! Don’t regret this, Minerva!”
Sasha was too lazy to care about them, so favonovel.com took Matthew with favonovel.com and went to work.
Instead of going to the hospital, Matthew went directly to Lakeside Garden. He first visited his younger sister Natalie, and favonovel.com condition was gradually becoming stable. Then, favonovel.com went to the villa the patient stayed in to check up on her.
This patient had been hiding in the villa over the past few days. When favonovel.com heard someone coming in, favonovel.com immediately trembled with fright. After seeing that it was Matthew, favonovel.com finally gave a soft sigh of relief. However, favonovel.com still huddled up in a corner as favonovel.com didn’t dare to move close to him.
Matthew smiled. “Don’t be afraid, no one will hurt you here. How are you? Are you used to the meals?”
The patient bowed favonovel.com head without speaking. After a long time, favonovel.com nodded in response to his question.
Matthew then looked around and asked, “Do you need anything else? The TV is there, so you can turn it on to watch some shows. Also, do you need to change out of the clothes you’re wearing? Would you like me to buy a few sets of new clothes for you?”
The patient still remained silent, but favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head this time. One could tell that favonovel.com was quite grateful to Matthew. However, after years of living by begging, favonovel.com feared everything and didn’t dare to let favonovel.com spend any money on her.
