Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 63

After sending Charlene off to the hospital so that she could comfort the employees, Daniel returned to his car. There, he turned on Zachary's phone.

Soon, he located William's phone number. Once the call went through, all Daniel heard was the sounds of breathing.

"Mr. Keaton, I think you know who I am," Daniel said, a mocking smile already curling on his lips.

On the other end of the line, William's hand shook violently at Daniel's words.

He had to admit that he never liked Zachary that much. That brat's overly violent side had caused the Keatons far too much trouble. But at the end of the day, Zachary was still his son.

"Daniel Ashcroft!" William gritted that name out through his teeth. His hatred was so intense that anyone would feel chills traveling down their spine when they heard his voice.

Daniel just let out a soft chuckle. "That's right. It's me. Now, let's talk about compensation, shall we?"

"Compensation? Do you really think I'm an idiot? You've killed both Zachary and Mason, and yet you still have the guts to ask me for compensation?" William asked in disbelief.

"Yup!" Daniel admitted honestly. "Zachary brought his men to cause trouble for my company, resulting in a huge financial loss for me! I'll give you a figure—100 million dollars.

"You're free to take Zachary's body away once you've paid me that much. Otherwise, the only way you'll see your son is by seeing his body getting strung up at the junction of the highway leading to Qranross. Everyone will definitely pause to admire his body. Also, I'll make sure to introduce him as a scion of the Keaton family to the public."

Daniel then narrowed his eyes and waited for William's response.

Obviously, William was enraged at the moment. Still, he had been in charge of the Keaton family for so many years, so he was able to get his emotions under control in a flash.

"Fine! It's a deal!" William actually agreed to Daniel's conditions!

This made the latter frown slightly. The fact that William was able to tolerate this much meant that there was something more important going on in the Keaton family. Otherwise, William would've done everything in his power just to rush over to Qranross right away.

To think that man was able to endure this humiliation and anger…

"I'll only let you take Zachary away once you've paid the compensation. Also, I'm a rather impatient man."

After that, Daniel ended the call. He began drumming his fingers on the steering wheel thoughtfully.
