Chapter 135


    "Hold on," Charlotte stopped them before they could do anything. Her facial expression instantly


    changed. "I understand that calling the police is necessary. However, why the media as well?”


    "That''s my decision to make." Amanda snarkily responded.


    "You..." Charlotte was speechless.


    "Mr. Williams," Amanda instructed authoritatively, "inform all the media outlets in the country about the


    missing bracelet. If someone finds and returns it, the reward will be five million. However, if it was sold


    in the ck market, I will take necessary legal action."


    "Noted, Mrs. White." thewyer acted ordingly.


    "Also, circte the evidence that was taken just now. The photos and the videos..." Amanda added.


    Charlotte instantly plunged into a state of trepidation. If the media were to be informed, the identity of


    the children will be exposed...


    "Let''s settle this privately!" Charlotte promptly said. "What do you want? Be frank with your demands!"


    "Privately?" the corner of Amanda''s lips lifted upwards.


    "p yourself two hundred times." Luna gritted her teeth and stared ferociously at her.


    Charlotte was dismayed. Nheless, she had earlier anticipated that the mother-daughter duo was


    here to take revenge upon her.


    "Luna..." Amanda was putting on an act. "She''s our


    rtive. How can we do that?"


    "Mom..." Luna appeared to be aggrieved.


    "Besides, she''s with Mr. Nacht. We can’t make an enemy of her!" Amanda gazed at Charlotte with a


    "I..." Charlotte had no idea. Thirty million was not an amount that she could afford.


    "I knew it, you don''t have any solutions for this." Amanda crossed her arms in discontent. "On one


    hand, you refuse to let us call the police. On the other hand, you refuse topensate us. Come on,


    you can''t expect us to lose thirty million without getting anypensation. This is preposterous!"


    Amanda looked the other way. "Ms. Longman, Ms. Cheney, please be our judge. How can she treat us


    like this!"


    "Yes, that''s true..." Ms. Longman awkwardly nodded.


    Nheless, Ms. Cheney truthfully answered, "Ms. Windt, since Ellie was the one who lost the


    bracelet, I think you shouldpensate them..."


    "Hey, finally Ms. Cheney uttered a proposition that is fair to us!" Amanda felt wronged. "Since you''re not


    able to provide a solution, I guess we don''t have a choice..."


    Amanda stood up from her seat...


    "Hold on." Charlotte recalled something and took it out from her bag, "I’ll use this then..."


    Amanda stared at the ruby ne held firmly in Charlotte''s hands. Shockingly, it was casually


    wrapped with mere tissue papers. There was no packaging nor any sort of protection to safeguard the


    treasure. Nevertheless, the ne radiated captivating shine and beauty.


    "Isn''t this the ruby ne that was auctioned off that day?" Luna’s eyes shimmered with desire and


    jealousy. "Is this fake?"


    "Let me have a look." Amanda retrieved the ruby ne and scrutinized it meticulously. Shortly after,


    she confirmed, "It''s real!"


    "This ruby ne is priced at a hundred million," Charlotte was very reluctant to have pledged it. "It''s


    more than enough to cover your losses. Once I manage to find the ne, I''ll be back to redeem the


    ne.”


    "If you don''t manage to find it?" Luna pestered her further. "Then, this ne will rightfully belong to


    me!"


    "That''s not going to work. The value of both items are not the same," Charlotte replied anxiously, "if I


    can''t find back your bracelet, I''ll find other ways topensate you. However, you can''t lose the


    ne as I intend to redeem it!"


    "There must be a time limit for this." Amanda smirked. "Within seven days, if you can find the bracelet,


    I''ll return this to you."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    She proceeded to stipte her conditions. "If you failed to find the bracelet, you''ll need to bring thirty-


    eight million topensate us. If you manage to do so, I''ll return this ne back to you. However, if


    you don''t have the bracelet nor the money, then this ne will belong to me!"


    "This..." Charlotte was hesitant.


    "If you don''t agree, then I’ll call the police and the media over..." Amanda used her leverage against


    Charlotte.


    "I agree." Charlotte''s back was pressed against the wall.


    "Alright, then we shall enter into an agreement. Ms. Longman and Ms. Cheney can be our witnesses,"


    Amanda replied.
