Chapter 1374 The Compensation
What does she mean? Not enough?
On second thought, judging by her inexperienced appearance, she probably would not ask
for much. On the contrary, he was even more contemptuous of her money-minded
attitude. He pulled over a chair and sat down, no longer as cautious as before. His
expression now carried a touch of recklessness, full of arrogance, as if any problem money
could solve was not an issue.
"So, how much do you want?"
Halma sneered silently, but her face remained composed, and her tone was light. "Let's
say 300 million."
300 million? Is she crazy? Even 300 million is too much to buy her life! How dare she ask
for 300 million for a tiny injury! She has some nerve!
In addition to disdain, a trace of disgust appeared on Finley's face. His voice carried a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbone-chilling coldness. "Are you joking? Are you trying to rob me? How severe are your
injuries that you need 300 million for treatment?"
She frowned and earnestly said, "How could you say that? Do you think this money is for
me to treat my injuries? What I'm buying is the rest of your daughter's life."
He squinted at Halma, who seemed like a charlatan to him. He could not help but think his
daughter had damaged her brain.
However, she had not finished speaking. Although Finley could not give her 300 million,
she felt she could still provoke him. So, she continued to coax him, "Why haven't you
understood until now? Your daughter is gentle, beautiful, and lovely. With a high-profile
marriage and cooperation between our companies, the profits won't be just 300 million,
but even 3 billion won't be a problem. However, it will be a different story if your daughter
ends up in jail and has a criminal record. Not only will high-profile marriages be out of the
question, even ordinary families would have to think twice. After all, having a criminal
record can affect generations!"
As she finished speaking, Olivia burst into laughter. Honestly, this lady had a way with
words. Halma gave her a playful glare. "Hey, why are you laughing at a serious moment?"
Olivia suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, continue."
Finley's veins bulged and deepened his voice. "It seems Miss Jones is not willing to settle
this privately."
Halma's face turned icy cold. "Honestly, I'm only here today out of respect for you as a
father. If it were Lexie, I wouldn't waste a word on her. I don't know her, yet she
inexplicably subjected me to such a beating. How unjust is that? You probably haven't
watched the surveillance footage from that day. You can't imagine how miserable I looked
and how shocking your daughter's words were. Not only did she know my name, but she
also said that I stole her fiancé. I've known Nathan for eight years, and I don't know how it
turned into me stealing him from her. In the face of irrefutable evidence, she maliciously
tried to provoke the relationship between him and me. She covered her face and locked
me in a cubicle, ganging up on me while I had no chance to fight back. They calculated

friend didn't look for me, I might have been beaten to death there. How dare you say it
was just a momentary confusion! Mr. Snow, I have feelings too, and I am also my father's
daughter. I have no other choice since you don't agree with either of my proposals."
He looked at Halma and finally realized he had underestimated this lady, assuming she
was an easy target. However, she turned out to be even more difficult than Nathan.
He calmed himself down, suppressing the raging emotions within him. Then, he gently
spoke, "Miss Jones, I know it's Lexie's fault. Still, the 300 million you mentioned is not
realistic. However, we will compensate if you state a reasonable amount within a certain
range."
Halma laughed. It was one filled with disdain and scorn. Just a moment ago, he said he
would compensate any amount. Now, he was talking about a reasonable range. Why boast
if you can't afford it?
Before she could respond, a strong male voice came from the entrance. "I've already said
it. We do not agree to a private settlement!"
