Christopher was getting frustrated. After contemplating, he sat back down and suppressed his dissatisfaction. “Linda, this is too much. After all, even if the Sanders Family was wealthy, they were not naive.

Michael added. “Miss Saw, we came here genuinely, hoping to be treated the same. If you act like this, maybe we should end the discussion here.”

When confronted by Michael, Linda didn’t dare be too presumptuous. After all, Michael was a businessman, which meant he had a sense of authority. Moreover, she was simply setting a price. She wondered if they didn’t know how to negotiate

Thinking about it. Linda sighed softly and said, “I just need some money to protect myself. Moreover, who knows if I might be accused of filing a false report when the video is posted? What if I end up in prison? I might not be able to remain in Riverdon anymore. Have you guys considered these?”

Although George provided her with a house, it was only a temporary lodging. The property deed and other documents were not in her possession. Furthermore, George was calculating toward her even though he had said he adored her. After all, despite being a successful businessman, he didn’t pay for the house in full and had a mortgage, which was quite frustrating. As for the car, it was a second–hand vehicle. She had repeatedly mentioned getting a new car, but there needed to be follow–through. Thus, if the Sanders Family could offer her cash in addition to the house and car, she could simply leave without worrying about anything if she ever felt dissatisfied in the future.

Hearing her words, Michael pondered momentarily and said, “We can provide you with the house, the car, and the cash, but not the ones you specified. Altogether, it amounts to around. five hundred

thousand, either in cash or as you proposed.”

Michael had cut too much of the proposal, and Linda was somewhat displeased. “Mr. Sander, this is far from what I had in mind.”

Michael smiled and looked at her with a darkened gaze. “Miss Saw, we untlerstand that this matter would cause you some inconvenience, but everything must be assessed based on its value. You are currently unemployed. However, with your skills, how much do you think you could earn if you find a job? From my understanding, the average salary in Riverdon is only around two thousand, at most six thousand for those who are experienced. Do you think you can have what it takes to achieve it, Miss Saw?”

Linda’s expression turned sour at his words. She knew her skills were not exceptional. When her family was wealthy, she didn’t have to worry about anything. After her family went bankrupt, she attempted to get a job, but it often failed. Plus, she couldn’t bear the thought of

working for someone else.

Michael observed Linda’s expression and said, “Nevertheless, I believe in your skill. While it’s not high, it’s not particularly low either. I’ll give you three thousand, so five hundred thousand would roughly equate to fifteen years of your salary”

Of course, Michael didn’t take future inflation into account. He wouldn’t mention it as long as Linda didn’t bring it up.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

As expected, Linda didn’t think about it. When she heard his words, she was slightly tempted yet still somewhat reluctant.

Michael seemed to have a knack for reading people’s minds. Without waiting for Linda to respond, he got straight to the point. “Five hundred thousand, plus a new car valued at less than fifty thousand. We will also arrange for a driver and instructor within three months to ensure you can drive without any issues,

Linda’s expression brightened slightly but said, “I don’t need a driver. I can drive. However, besides the five hundred thousand and a car, I also want the Sanders Family to agree to a certain request of mine.”

Michael asked, “What request?”

Linda smiled. “I’ll tell you when I know what I want. Consider it a favor owed to me by the Sanders Family. If I ever need something, you cannot refuse.” As Linda talked, she recalled a TV drama where the female lead made the male lead agree to three requests to be fulfilled in the future.

Christopher’s expression darkened. “Linda, don’t push your luck.”

Linda knew when to stop, so she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t overstep the boundaries. I just want to ask for a favor in case I encounter any difficulties in the future. Of course, I won’t ask you to do anything illegal.”

After some consideration, Michael agreed. After all, who knew would happen in the

future? Thus, he could decide whether or not to fulfill it based on the circumstances.

In the end, both parties happily reached an agreement.

Michael provided Linda with a partial deposit and promised to give her the rest after she posted the video online and once the situation with Fanny had ceased entirely.

Linda naturally agreed. She wasn’t concerned about the Sanders Family breaking their promise. After all, if they did, she would create a scene and let their reputation be ruined. Moreover, five hundred thousand dollars was significant for most people, but it was nothing

to the Sanders Family. Thus, they wouldn’t want to create any problems because of it.

The next day after the deposit was made. Linda posted an apology video.

“I had spread rumors toward Fanny out of jealousy. Since then, I have been restless and plagued by nightmares. I’m sorry. Fanny. I was wrong. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Fanny is innocent. It was me who was in a trance.

The internet wasn’t as advanced as now, so the spread wasn’t extensive. However, due to Jonathan’s connections, Angela received it promptly after Linda’s confession. She scrolled through the comments under Linda’s video, and eight out of ten criticized Linda.

The video was posted on a local forum in Riverdon, and many people knew about Fanny’s situation. They apologized to Fanny and collectively condemned Linda since they felt they did wrong. During that time, the online environment was less toxic, and people were willing to acknowledge their mistakes, unlike many internet trolls in later years who would never admit their fault. Nonetheless, some people analyzed Linda’s video and felt her apology lacked sincerity as if she was pretending. Then, they wondered why she would tarnish her own reputation and thought if she was being forced.

However, these comments were overshadowed by the majority of condemning remarks, and only a few people noticed them.

Looking at it, Angela smirked.

The Sanders Family still held some influence. I wonder how much money they spent to persuade Linda to apologize willingly to the person she despised. As expected, no one can maintain their rationality when faced with money.

The day after Linda posted the video, the second payment was deposited into her account, which brought her joy. She felt that the Sanders Family truly lived up to their reputation for honesty. Once she received the final payment, she planned to take a break from Riverdon and relax elsewhere. However, she couldn’t resist reading the comments, some of which were quite harsh. Some even brought up her family’s past, suggesting that their bankruptcy was deserved as karma.

Come on. If there is karma in this world, people like Fanny should be the ones facing it.

However, reflecting on how the Sanders Family assisted her during the divorce, her mood slightly improved.
