Michael was annoyed by Christopher constant chatter. He stopped abruptly, turned around, and glared at him, “Shut up!”

Christopher appeared bewildered as he sensed his father’s increasing irritability. Lowering his gaze, he spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Dad. I know I’ve been bothering you. But with Fanny’s situation, I can’t handle it alone. I need your help.”

Listening to his son’s plea, Michael also felt uneasy. Softening his tone, he replied, “Alright, I didn’t I wouldn’t help her. We just need to organize our thoughts, aim for a decisive victory, and not give this case any chance to turn around.”

He could not bear to go through it all over again, having already invested too much energy in Fanny‘

case. Christopher felt a wave of relief after hearing his father’s reassurance.

That night, they revisited the Situation and analyzed it thoroughly. Michael seemed to grasp some of the crucial parts of the issue.

He then interrupted Christopher by asking. “Did you mention that Linda leaked this?”

Christopher nodded solemnly, recalling how they initially dismissed Fanny’s claims. Now, Linda’s influence seemed undeniable.

“Who is she?” Michael inquired, “Does she hold a grudge against Fanny?”

Taken aback, Christopher only knew Linda is one of Fanny’s classmates who had faced financial troubles. He hadn’t not delved into the details, deeming them irrelevant.

Michael sighed as he was observing his son’s ignorance. “Look into Linda. She might hold the key to this matter.”

Initially agreeing, Christopher was stopped by his father later on as he decided to handle it himself. In a short period of time, Michael swiftly gathered information on Fanny, uncovering the truth behind the situation. With Linda’s address in hand, he took Christopher to confront her.

Bringing his son along was a lesson in handling such matters. Linda, startled by their visit, questioned their purpose. She was dumbfounded by the unfamiliar middle–aged man.

Politely. Christopher introduced his father as they proposed a business deal. However, Linda was skeptical of the plan and mentioned her lack of association with Fanny, anticipating trouble if discovered.

Just as Christopher was about to continue his persuasion, Michael disclosed their true Jggggの宮やや目 4% 10:33 Chapter 271 Business Negotiations intention by saying. “We are currently discussing a divorce with Fanny; that’s why we come to find you.”

Upon hearing that, Linda was intrigued and agreed to continue the conversation indoors.

While remaining seated, Michael wasted no time addressing the divorce proposal and the need to clear Fanny’s name, knowing Linda’s involvement in the situation.

Linda listened attentively to Michael’s words, gently running her fingers through her hair. “Christopher and Fanny were once deeply in love. How did their relationship come to this. point of divorce?”

After all, Angela was initially engaged to Christopher, and the engagement was later taken away from her. It was such a profound love, yet it seemed to crumble so easily.

Christopher averted his gaze while Michael continued, “She has caused so much trouble to our family.

How dare she show her face in the Sanders Family? But since she has a request, we have to consider it.”

“So, what exactly do you want me to do?” Linda asked confidently, “If I report this, will you have me arrested?”

In contrast to the Sanders Family and the Kins Family, her Stuart family was in a desperate situation.

“We would like you to record a video admitting that your accusation against Fanny hiring a hitman was false,” Michael stated his request slowly, “But rest assured, we will make it worth your while.”

Upon hearing the initial part of the conversation, Linda’s expression showed a hint of struggle.

However, as she listened to the latter part, a faint smile appeared, though she remained composed. “I am curious to hear the terms that the Sanders Family is proposing, she remarked.

Michael had looked into Linda’s background and knew she came from a respectable family but had fallen on hard times. Despite this, she still lived in a luxurious house, suggesting that she had some source of income.

As for the source, he was not concerned. He continued in asking Linda, “Since we seek your assistance, it is only fair that you take the lead. What are your terms?”

Linda smiled. “As a vulnerable woman like myself, I have nowhere else to turn. Naturally, I would like financial security, a home, or something to ensure my future.”

Michael nodded in agreement. “Of course.”

“On top of that…” Linda tilted her head slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, “If I confess to spreading false information, I will undoubtedly face criticism. My mental and physical well–being will be greatly affected.”

Christopher impatiently interrupted, “Just state your demands. We will consider what we can offer. But if your requests are excessive, we may be unable to comply Michael remained silent, seemingly in accord with Christopher.

Linda twirled her hair and directly presented her demands, “My requests are not unreasonable. A car for transportation, a home in Lake Cladra, and an additional one million. dollars in cash.”

Christopher gasped and could not help but stand up after hearing her terms, “Are you serious?”

The car was a minor issue, but even the most miniature house in the prime location of Lake Cladra cost five or six hundred thousand dollars, with an additional million in cash. This sum would elevate one to a wealthy status in a country where the average annual salary was only tens of thousands.

The Sanders Family could afford this, but providing a sum of one to one and a half million dollars at once would be quite burdensome. Linda could not help but smile while observing the shocked expression on Christopher’s face, “Well, it all depends on how much Mr. Sanders. values his reputation.”

It was at this moment that he realizes that, the thought of wanting to rid themselves of Fanny without paying a price was simply a wishful thinking.
