Chapter 803

Chapter 803 We Didn’t Know That He’d Increase the Price At this moment, Helen was getting antsy. “Sasha, how can you be like that? It’s not about the money.

Right now, we can’t let your cousin go to jail. He’s an overseas graduate. If he goes to jail… his future will be done for!”

Hearing that, Demi laughed. “Mom, you must be kidding, right? I heard Tate didn’t go to college overseas. An overseas graduate? You mean a high school graduate, right? Haha! It’s my first time hearing about such a graduate!”

Helen’s face was flushed with embarrassment as she remained silent.

Meanwhile, Chloe sighed. “Actually, Tate had decent grades back when he was in school. He simply didn’t do well in his final exam, so he didn’t go to college. The kid’s actually very smart!”

At once, Helen nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I can tell. No matter what, Tate is your cousin. Sasha, you must think of something!”

Upon hearing that, Sasha said angrily, “What idea can I think of? You tell me then, Mom. What can I do? Fork out the 3 million? Are you out of your mind? Last night we agreed on 1.6 million. Now that you have told him off, the compensation fee is 3 million?! Do you think that my family’s money fell from the sky? 1.6 million isn’t enough, so you had to make it to 3 million?”

At this moment, Chloe’s face was tinted red in embarrassment. “Sasha, I know that you’re unhappy about this. However, we…we didn’t expect that the victim would ask for so much!

With her teeth gritted, Sasha said angrily, “How convenient! You didn’t expect that your son would drive without a license! You didn’t expect that he’d speed! And you sure didn’t expect that he’d hit someone!

Just because you didn’t expect all that, my family has to pay the price! Do you think that’s appropriate?

If you taught your son better, none of this would’ve happened.”

At this moment, Chloe’s expression turned sour as she replied in a low tone, “Sasha, I’m here to ask for help. I’m not here to get a lecture from you. If you’re not willing to help, you can just say so. I will leave immediately!” As she said that, she stood up to leave.

Seeing that, Helen quickly pulled on Chloe’s arm to stop her. “Chloe, don’t get mad. Sasha, can’t you speak with your Aunt Chloe nicely? When you were young…”

At this moment, Sasha waved Helen off before she scolded, “Enough! Stop reminding me about back when I was a kid! You’re right. She did help us back when I was young, and I’m beyond grateful for that! Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that I have to bear the consequences of whatever they do now!

They’re lucky that the victim’s safe in the end. If he died, how would things be now?”

As Helen heard that, her face darkened as she gritted her teeth. “W-Well, the man didn’t die in the end!

It isn’t a big matter as long as it can be resolved with money. Not to mention, you’ve promised your Aunt Chloe. You have to help them to the end…”

At once, Sasha said, “Yes, I agreed to solve this with money. However, Mr. Manning came up with 1.6 million last night, and you guys didn’t like it. So, you wanted to resolve it your way, and now they want 3 million! What do you want me to do about the 1.4 million difference? You tell me.”

At this moment, Helen seemed awkward and helpless. “Chloe, why don’t we consult the lawyer? How did Mr. Manning manage to get the amount of 1.6 million, but the other lawyer came up with the final sum of 3 million?”

Left with no choice, Chloe said, “I’ll make a phone call to my husband.”

After the phone call was made, Jonah drove his BMW and reached in half an hour. Tagging along with him was a middle-aged man. Upon the introduction of Jonah, the middle-aged man was known to be the lawyer in charge of this case for them, Mr. Lowry.

After a brief small talk, Helen went straight to the point. “Mr. Lowry, isn’t 3 million too much to ask for over such a small accident?”
