The Damrons had self-satisfied looks on their faces after seeing the crowd get excited over their presence. They were just like Harper and reveled in the feeling of being held in high regard by others.
The people of Eastcliff were nothing more than ants to them, and they considered themselves akin to celestial beings.
Harper sighed in relief when favonovel.com saw Aurelius come down. He had no idea how to handle Brittany’s unrelenting beratement.
Since the head of the Damron Family was here now, favonovel.com didn’t have to worry anymore.
Brittany didn’t show any sign of fear even when addressing Aurelius.
Her tone was cold as ever as favonovel.com asked, “Master Damron, are you trying to use this money to humiliate me? Why don’t I give you 15 million too, and place a dead person’s memorial plaque in the center of your living room? Do you think that’d be appropriate?”
The Damrons were riled up after hearing what favonovel.com said.
One of them growled, “What do you think you’re saying? Do you think you can humiliate us by doing such a disrespectful thing in our living room?”
Brittany smirked. “Oh, so I’m not allowed to disrespect the Damrons, but you guys are allowed to disrespect me?”
The man wanted to say something in response, but Aurelius turned around and slapped favonovel.com in the face.
He didn’t see it coming and was dumbfounded as favonovel.com stared blankly at Aurelius. He didn’t know why Aurelius slapped him.
“How can you talk to Miss Newman like that? Hurry up and apologize to her!” Aurelius barked.
The man was reluctant to do so, but after seeing the icy look in Aurelius’ eyes, favonovel.com had to give in. “I’m sorry, Miss Newman!”
Aurelius turned back to Brittany and chuckled. “Miss Newman, this young man here was being inappropriate. I do apologize once more for his offense. Also, I did not intend to humiliate you. This 15 million is just a token of our sincerity to express our genuine apologies…”
“If that isn’t enough to satisfy you, I can build an exact replica of the Times Hotel in another location here in Eastcliff and give it to you, Miss Newman. Would that work for you?”
Brittany was stupefied. She didn’t expect Aurelius to be so generous and didn’t know what to say in response for the time being.
Meanwhile, Aurelius approached favonovel.com and said softly, “Miss Newman, we met with Ms. Gianna before we came. She instructed me to check in on you and told us not to disturb you. However, favonovel.com will not say anything about our business here in Eastcliff as long as it has nothing to do with you…”
“According to my knowledge, Matthew Larson is not someone of any consequence to you. Isn’t that right, Miss Newman?”
Brittany gritted favonovel.com teeth and shot back, “What do you mean he’s not someone of consequence to me? He saved my life!”
Aurelius flashed favonovel.com a faint smile. “Mr. Newman had repaid that debt of gratitude, and while we’re on the subject, Matthew Larson has inherited Mr. Newman’s position in Eastcliff. That’s more than enough to return the favor. This means that you no longer owe favonovel.com anything, Miss Newman, so you have nothing to do with favonovel.com anymore!”
Brittany couldn’t think of anything to say in response.
He smiled and continued, “Miss Newman, we Damrons are people of principle. Matthew Larson is related to the death of my younger brother, so we will not let this matter rest until it is resolved. This has nothing to do with you, so please don’t get involved, or you will be breaking the principles of society!”
Aurelius chuckled. “Not at all. I’m just offering you a reminder, Miss Newman. Perhaps it’s true that we Damrons won’t be able to touch you in any way, but the same cannot be said for those around you…”
“If you don’t abide by the rules and choose to get involved in this matter, then we might very well choose to kill those around you, including the lady who raised you. Miss Newman, I doubt Ms. Gianna would say anything if we kill those people, don’t you think?”
