The Runaway Groom Chapter 566

Tim had lost many things.

Even if Peter was correct that he had an affair, it was just something that happened in the heat of the
moment, and the woman ended up getting clingy.

He certainly did not want a divorce and quickly resolved the matter, only for Peter to expose him,
destroying his family.

"What do you want?” Peter asked again-he knew what he had done, and naturally did not want things
to blow out of proportion.

Then, before Tim spoke, he added, "I'll give you the project you wanted."

Tim laughed as if what Peter said was hilarious to him.

"What? Can't you be content with that?" Peter scowled.

"Of course not. Are you really trying to buy my silence with trinkets?” Tim cut to the chase. "If you want
my silence, it's going to be 150 million dollars -consider it compensation for my divorce."

"Why don't you rob a bank instead?" Peter could throw a fit right then.

‘Since you're in the mood to negotiate, I have no reason to force you,” Tim said, rising to his feet. "I still
have work to do, so please be so kind as to see yourself out."

With that, he left right away.

It was not as if Peter did not want to pay him, but Tim was asking too much.



Now that push had come to shove, he needed Zachary -it was his mother who actually murdered Lulu,
after all.

Having the Slates pay up was a good idea, and once Peter made up his mind, he quickly left and went
looking for Zachary, who received him politely and respectfully.

‘Can I help you?" he asked, seemingly surprised to see him.

His surprise was naturally feigned-in truth, he knew Peter would come to him.

Peter did not hold back at all. "The recording incriminates your mother. If you want her to stay out of
jail, you have to pay 150 million to settle this."

Zachary lowered his gaze. "Who could be so greedy? That's basically extortion."

‘I think so too, but there's no helping it when a death is concerned,” Peter reasoned, intent on getting
Zachary to pay up.

‘I think we should pay them together, sir," Zachary said. "I don't have that much money anyway.”

"What do you mean?"

Looking as if he was placed in an awkward situation, Zachary said, "It's not as if I don’t want to pay the
money, but it's obvious that they're after you. I have no reason to pay for everything, right?”

Peter was left staring at him for a long while in silence, because he had no retort.

“How much can you pay?"

"Fifteen million at best.” Zachary replied.

"That's not enough," Peter growled, stopping short of an outburst.



"But sir, even if the recording is clearly just used forextortion, they're willing to sweep it under the rug,"
Zachary held his gaze. "I mean, I would do the same for 150 million too."

Peter did not dare to say another word at that, since it was not just the recording.

Tim holds even more leverage than that, including the cases of gross negligence years ago.

It would be all over for him if it was exposed.

Naturally, he could not tell Zachary yet-he was still skeptical toward him at the moment.

"Actually, why don't you let me talk to the person blackmailing you? I could to talk to them-"

"No." Peter waved him off, knowing that it was up to himself to resolve the matter now. "Fifteen million it
is! I'll be leaving now."

Zachary walked him to his car, and watched as he sped off to the distance.

That was when his gaze darkened and his lips curled up into an icy smile.

Irene was teaching Tommy how to draw when her bodyguards brought someone into the house.

"Ma'am, we found him sneaking around outside the house. We caught him since we suspected the
mysterious person before had sent him.”

"Take Tommy into his room," Irene quickly told Mrs. Watson, and walked up to rip the mask off the
man’s face.

Then, she froze!
