Chapter 1374 The Compensation
What does she mean? Not enough?
On second thought, judging by her inexperienced appearance, she probably would not ask for much. On the contrary, he was even more contemptuous of her money-minded attitude. He pulled over a chair and sat down, no longer as cautious as before. His expression now carried a touch of recklessness, full of arrogance, as if any problem money could solve was not an issue.
“So, how much do you want?”
Halma sneered silently, but her face remained composed, and her tone was light. “Let’s say 300 million.”
300 million? Is she crazy? Even 300 million is too much to buy her life! How dare she ask for 300 million for a tiny injury! She has some nerve!
In addition to disdain, a trace of disgust appeared on Finley’s face. His voice carried a bone-chilling coldness. “Are you joking? Are you trying to rob me? How severe are your injuries that you need 300 million for treatment?”
She frowned and earnestly said, “How could you say that? Do you think this money is for me to treat my injuries? What I’m buying is the rest of your daughter’s life.”
He squinted at Halma, who seemed like a charlatan to him. He could not help but think his daughter had damaged her brain.
He looked at Halma and finally realized he had underestimated this lady, assuming she was an easy target. However, she turned out to be even more difficult than Nathan.
He calmed himself down, suppressing the raging emotions within him. Then, he gently spoke, “Miss Jones, I know it’s Lexie’s fault. Still, the 300 million you mentioned is not realistic. However, we will compensate if you state a reasonable amount within a certain range.”
Halma laughed. It was one filled with disdain and scorn. Just a moment ago, he said he would compensate any amount. Now, he was talking about a reasonable range. Why boast if you can’t afford it?
Before she could respond, a strong male voice came from the entrance. “I’ve already said it. We do not agree to a private settlement!”
