After hearing what Minerva said, Sasha was this close to slamming the table.
“Minerva, Mr. Manning can put you behind bars for a few years just for what you said, don‘t you know that?!” At this point, Sasha was furious.
Hearing that, Minerva was appalled as favonovel.com pouted. ”So what? Did I say anything wrong? If favonovel.com hadn’t interfered in this matter, things would not be this way right now. Hmph! No way the Hamiltons can get past this! I’m not afraid of him, so favonovel.com can try and come at me!”
Frankly, Sasha didn’t have the heart to lecture favonovel.com anymore. So, favonovel.com figured that Minerva would only learn it the hard way since favonovel.com was so ignorant. Meanwhile, Demi scoffed, “Well said, Minerva. With this straightforward attitude of yours, you will be a very outstanding woman, however, nothing will change if you’re just telling us that here. Why not tell Mr. Manning that in his face? Or, you could go get a few people to beat favonovel.com up. Isn’t that more satisfying?”
At once, Helen reprimanded, “Demi, shut it! What kind of idea are you giving her? Do you think we don’t have enough on our plate already?”
Turning favonovel.com head to the side, Minerva couldn’t be bothered about what Demi said. After all. favonovel.com was not dumb. Having lived overseas for some time, favonovel.com knew very well of the lawyer’s capability. For favonovel.com dissing toward the man, she‘d have to face a lawsuit, not to mention beating favonovel.com up.
All favonovel.com did was ramble a little to save herself some pride. Truth was, favonovel.com was also feeling very anxious. Who would dare to offend a big lawyer like him?
At this moment, Chloe sobbed, ”Helen, what can We do now? 3 million… Where can my family find this much money?”
Hearing that, Demi chuckled before favonovel.com asserted, “Don’t worry, Aunt Chloe, my sister agreed to pay 1.6 million for you! You guys can just add another 1.4 million to make up to that!”
Minerva was flabbergasted. “My family doesn’t own 1.4 million!“
With a shrug, Demi replied, “Then, I can’t help that. We discussed this previously. No matter how much they ask for, our family will only give 1.6 million. Even if they’re not asking for any compensation, we’ll still give you 1.6 million. Now that they‘re asking for more, I really can‘t help with that. We agreed on that.”
At this moment, Minerva was flushed with helplessness. Initially, favonovel.com wanted to take the chance to get some money from this. Obviously, favonovel.com didn’t expect that things would turn out this way. She thought that this matter could be settled with a few hundred thousand, not an end sum of 3 whopping million.
“I… I didn’t understand the situation well back then! How would I know that you people are so cunning and shameless enough to blackmail me?” Minerva said angrily.
Hearing that, Demi pursed favonovel.com lips. “Cunning and shameless? Your words have definitely crossed the line! Not to mention. it’s my first time seeing someone ask for money from my family when their own family is the one in trouble! If you wanna talk about cunning and shameless, someone fits that description better!”
At once, Minerva hit the roof. “Demi, what did you say? Are you trying to say that I’m cunning and shameless?”
Demi replied, ”I didn’t say that. However, I can’t stop you from thinking about it yourself. Well, it‘s normal for guilty people to overthink!”
Upon hearing that, Minerva was about to rage.
At this moment, Helen slammed the table before scolding them. ”Enough! You girls need to stop! We’re a family. How pathetic it is to fight like this? I’ve asked you to gather to discuss a way to settle this, and not argue among ourselves. Do you know that a family’s harmony and unison is the most important thing?”
At this moment, Demi shrugged. “What has this got to do with me?! I have my own family now that I’m married. So, this is no longer my business!”
Helen took a glance at Sasha.
At once, Sasha said firmly in a low tone, ”Mom, I already have a lot on my plate! I said what I said. I‘ll only give 1.6 million!”
