Chapter 818 Have You Lost Everything?


    Braxton Pearce was clearly the most powerful member of the Pearce family.


    Braxton stared at Valerie before turning to Skr and asked, "Your name is Skr?"


    "I heard from L that it was because of you that Valerie suffered a severe head injury, resulting in


    memory confusion."


    Skr made no attempt to refute it and simply replied, "Yes, Mr. Braxton, Valerie''s brain injury was


    indeed caused by me."


    "You didn''t avoid responsibility, so you still have a conscience."


    Braxton''s face softened slightly, but before Skr could respond, he continued, "You have harmed my


    granddaughter, and you mustpensate for medical expenses and lost wages, not to mention mental


    anguish."


    "Without you, Valerie could have be a big star, but her memory confusion has seriously harmed


    her future."


    "Because you voluntarily escorted Valerie back, I only ask for $5 billion inpensation."


    "Once the money is transferred, you must immediately leave the Pearce family, Southville, and


    guarantee that you will have no further contact with Valerie."


    "If you fulfill all of these conditions, then our ounts will be settled."


    Skr expressed his displeasure after hearing Braxton''s statements, saying, "Compensating five billion


    is not a problem, but I cannot promise to cut off contact with Valerie."


    Valerie suffered from memory loss as a result of being shoved down for protecting L. Skr would


    be willing to spend not only $5 billion, but even $10 billion or $100 billion.


    Money, after all, was just a number to him.


    However, he refused to leave after paying the money and never spoke to Valerie again. He couldn''t pull


    it off.


    He arrived to the Pearce home to assist Valerie in regaining her memory.


    In Valerie''s current state, if he abruptly vanished, she might be even more traumatized and never heal


    in this lifetime.


    So he could agree to any amount of money, but breaking touch was out of the question.


    He would not agree, at least not until Valerie was fully recovered.


    Rhett Miller became serious after Skr genuinely refused Braxton''s offer.


    "Skr, right?"


    "I heard you have a four-year-old daughter named L," I said.


    Skr abruptly turned his head and locked his stare on Rhett.


    Too much had happened recently, particrly the collusion between the Lucas family and the Perez


    n, who nearly stole L''s bone marrow and nearly killed her. Skr was exceedingly cautious


    whenever L was mentioned.


    Vria suffarad from mamory loss as a rasult of baing shovad down for protacting L. Skr would


    ba willing to spand not only $5 billion, but avan $10 billion or $100 billion.


    Monay, aftar all, was just a numbar to him.


    Howavar, ha rafusad toava aftar paying tha monay and navar spoka to Vria again. Ha couldn''t pull


    it off.


    Ha arrivad to tha Paarca homa to assist Vria in ragaining har mamory.


    In Vria''s currant stata, if ha abruptly vanishad, sha might ba avan mora traumatizad and navar haal


    in this lifatima.


    So ha could agraa to any amount of monay, but braaking touch was out of tha quastion.


    Ha would not agraa, atast not until Vria was fully racovarad.


    Rhatt Mir bacama sarious aftar Skr ganuinaly rafusad Braxton''s offar.


    "Skr, right?"


    "I haard you hava a four-yaar-old daughtar namad L," I said.


    Skr abruptly turnad his haad and lockad his stara on Rhatt.


    Too much had happanad racantly, particrly tha collusion batwaan tha Lucas family and tha Paraz


    n, who naarly st L''s bona marrow and naarly kid har. Skr was axcaadingly cautious


    whanavar L was mantionad.


    At this point, he was staring at Rhett, his eyes wide with interest.


    "Heh, rest assured, Rhett, I am a decent person who would never use devious tactics against you."


    Rhett said it with a calm demeanor.


    "However, my Miller family owns an entertainmentpany called Southville Entertainment Agency."


    "If I remember correctly, it''s thepany that your daughter, L, signed with."


    "I just heard from my subordinates that your daughter vited the contract by abruptly ending a live


    broadcast event, causing Southville Entertainment significant promotional expenses and economic


    losses, and they are considering suing your daughter in court."


    "As L''s guardian, you must naturally bear the consequences of her errors."


    "For the sake of your familiarity with Valerie, and if youply with Mr. Braxton''s demands, I can


    temporarily suspend thewsuit against your daughter."


    "Otherwise, with ourpany''s legal department''s impable track record, I can make sure you lose


    everything, right down to your underwear."N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
