You Still Owe Us 16 Million
Upon hearing that, everyone was stunned.
Chloe widened her eyes. “W-What? He didn’t request a single penny? What does he want then?”
Matthew answered, “Mr. Tilly doesn’t want anything. You guys just need to go and sign the statement of
reconciliation tomorrow, and there’s no need to bring anything.”
Chloe stuttered in disbelief, “H-How is this possible? Didn’t he ask for 1.6 million before this? Why did
he stop asking for compensation now?”
Obviously, Matthew would not tell Chloe the truth, so he just casually explained, “Dr. Burton, who was in
charge of his operation that night, is my friend. He put in a word for us, and that’s why Mr. Tilly stopped
asking for compensation.”
Only then did the crowd understood.
Helen nodded. “Matthew, good thing you’ve worked at the hospital. It is nice that you got to know some
of the doctors. It really helped us in this matter. You did great!”
Elated, Chloe too praised Matthew and stopped despising him as she did before.
Nevertheless, Matthew couldn’t be bothered with these hypocritical praises. He merely helped them out
this time as a favor to Sasha.
After chatting for a while, Chloe stood up and was ready to go home.
However, Minerva hesitated and tugged on Chloe’s sleeve. “Mom, this matter is not over yet,” she said in
a low voice.
Chloe was startled. “What do you mean? We’re going to sign the statement of reconciliation tomorrow, so
how is it not over yet?”
Minerva glanced at Sasha and whispered, “Mom, did you forget that Sasha said she’ll give us 1.6 million
no matter how much is needed to settle this matter toward the end? She hasn’t given us the money yet,
so how can we leave?”
Hearing that, Demi couldn’t help rebuking, “Oh my goodness, how can you be this shameless?! We
offered 1.6 million last night because your family came to our place callously to seek help after running
into trouble and invited a 3 million debt to yourselves. Our family helped you to settle the issue in the
end, and thanks to us, you don’t even have to fork out a penny, but now you’re actually asking money
from us? Is that all that you’ve learned abroad these years—to be this shameless?”
Sasha and Matthew were dumbfounded too as they had not seen such a shameless person before.
Hardening her neck, Minerva retorted angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Did I say something wrong? Last
night, she promised that she’ll give us 1.6 million regardless how much the final settlement is. I’m just
asking for the amount that was agreed. What is wrong with that?”
Demi snarled, “Nonsense! Indeed, we agreed to contribute 1.6 million last night, but why did you guys
come here tonight? Oh, when the amount exceeds 1.6 million, you came weeping, seeking our help.
Now that you don’t have to pay a penny, you immediately changed your attitude and are even asking for
money from us? How can you be like this? The problem was caused by your family, but it was settled
head-to-toe by my family. And now, you’re even thinking of taking this advantage to make a fortune?
Minerva, how shameless you are!”
Chloe too wore an awkward look. “Minerva, stop saying nonsense! This issue is finally settled. You
should be grateful toward them!”
Looking unresigned, Minerva blurted, “She indeed drew up an agreement yesterday, promising that she’ll
give us 1.6 million. You shouldn’t make that promise if you can’t afford it. Are you thinking of going back
on your words now? That’s why I always say that the locals don’t honor contracts at all!”
Annoyed, Chloe directly dragged Minerva out of the door.
“Sasha, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll teach her a lesson!” Chloe yelled and quickly left with Minerva.
However, Minerva was still not contented. After getting into the car, she still stuck her head out and
yelled, “Sasha Cunningham, the agreement that you’ve drawn up is still in my hands. You better watch
out!”
