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 remainedposed, 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 bone-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 chatan 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
As she finished speaking, Olivia burst intoughter. Honestly, thisdy had a way re. “Hey, why are
youughing at a serious moment?”
Olivia suppressed herughter 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 surveince 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
rtionship 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 calcted everything perfectly, and it wouldn’t be an
exaggeration to call it attempted murder. If my 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 thisdy, 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.”

Halmaughed. 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!”
