"Wait a minute." Sadie''s expression changed immediately upon hearing the mention of informing the media. "Let''s call the police, but why do we need to inform the media?" "Whether I inform the media or not, is my personal choice!" Kathleen retorted coldly. "You..."


    Kathleenmanded, "Contact all the popr media outlets in the country and publish the theft information. We''ll offer a reward of five million US dors if someone finds it and is willing to return it, but if the ck market buys it, we will prosecute." "Yes, Mrs. White," thewyer responded.


    "Also, send out the evidentiary photos and videos that were taken just now..."


    Upon hearing this, Sadie became extremely worried. If the media are informed, the children''s identities will be exposed...


    "Let''s settle this privately!" Sadie immediately said. "Just tell me what you want!"


    "Settle it privately?" Kathleen smirked.


    "You should p yourself two hundred times first!" Leah gritted her teeth and red at her.


    Sadie frowned. She had known all along that this mother-daughter duo was intentionally seeking revenge.


    "Leah..." Kathleen looked at her reproachfully. "After all, she is our rtive. How can you do this?"


    "Mom..."


    "Besides, she belongs to Mr. Clemens. We can''t afford to offend him." Kathleen looked at Sadie with a smug smile. "Why don''t you tell us how to settle privately?"


    "I..." Sadie couldn''te up with an answer.


    She couldn''t afford ten million dors at all.


    "You see, you don''t have a solution at all." Kathleen spread her hands, looking helpless. "You refuse to let me call the police or contact the media, and you won''tpensate us. You can''t just let us lose thirty million dors for nothing, right? This is uneptable. Mr. Brooks, Miss Bell, please think about it. Who would treat people like this?"


    "Yes, yes..." Mr. Brooks forced a smile and nodded.


    Miss Bell was an honest person and whispered, "Since, Mia lost this bracelet. Personally, I think you shouldpensate them." "Ah, Miss Bell spoke fairly." Kathleen looked aggrieved. "Since you can''t provide a solution, we''ll have to handle it officially." Saying that, Kathleen stood up...


    "Wait a minute." Sadie suddenly thought of something and quickly took it out of her bag. "I''ll use this as coteral..."


    Kathleen stared at the ruby ne in Sadie''s hand, wrapped in a bunch of tissues without even a box. But even so, the ruby still emitted a dazzling light.


    "Isn''t this the ruby ne from thest auction?" Leah''s eyes lit up when she saw the ruby ne. "Could it be fake?"


    "Let me see." Kathleen took it and carefully examined it before quickly confirming, "It''s real!"


    "This ruby ne is worth one hundred million dors." Sadie was reluctant. "It''s more than enough as coteral for you. I''ll get it back when I find your bracelet." "What if you can''t find it?" Leah questioned. "Then you shall consider this ne aspensation to me!"


    "That''s not eptable. The two items have different values." Sadie became anxious. "If I don''t find it, I will find a way topensate you. But I still want to redeem this ne. You can''t lose it." "There has to be a deadline." Kathleen smirked. "Within seven days, if you find the bracelet, I''ll give this back to you."


    "And if you can''t find it, you''ll receive apensation of 38 million dors, which I will return to you. But if you have neither the bracelet nor thepensation, then this ne will belong to me!" "Well..." Sadie hesitated.


    "If you don''t agree, I will call the police and contact the media..." Kathleen threatened.


    "I agree." Sadie had no room for negotiation.


    "Okay, let''s sign an agreement, with Mr. Brooks and Miss Bell as witnesses."
