Chapter 1064 Denial
Danny might be Alexander's brother, but they had their own business. Taking this much money out of their account might affect their cash flow. Both of them were drugged that night, and part of the responsibility was on Suella as well. Alicia thought she shouldn't ask for that much money.
Suella didn't care. This was her only chance to get into upper society. She wanted as much money as possible, and she even did a background check when she was deciding on the amount. Danny's company is worth sixty million. I'm only taking less than half of that away. He has a lot to work with. I won't compromise.
"Why are you taking their side? Thirty million isn't much compared to my innocence. He took my innocence away, so he should pay for it. All of my exes are millionaires. If I'm still a virgin, I might be able to marry someone even more successful than he is. I could've gotten a lot more than thirty million. I'm only asking for thirty million because he's your friend. You can't force me to take an even lower offer. Am I that worthless to you?"
Alicia was a little offended by that. She came here because she saw Suella as her friend, yet she never thought Suella would think she was a traitor. She wanted Suella to make a better offer so she could have a better future. She had a long life ahead of her, but taking too much money might shorten her life.
She has no idea how hard it is to stay rich. There are a lot of cases of people getting rich in a short amount of time only for their wealth to disappear as fast as they attained it. If Suella were to take this one step too far, the Griffiths will make sure she lives in hell. If she backs off now, they might just let her live. Can't she see that?
"How could you say that? I'm doing this for you. The fact that you're all here means you want to deal with this amicably. Taking thirty million dollars from Danny might ruin his company, and…"
Alicia wanted to explain the complexity of the case to Suella, but Suella didn't give her a chance and had a full-blown meltdown. "So what? So what if his company is ruined? He still has his brother and his family. He will never fall, but what about me? He ruined my happiness. Why should I care for him? You're rich, so, of course, you care about other rich people. You will never understand me. I know what I want, so stay out of this!"
Alicia froze. So, she never thought of me as a friend. A moment of silence later, she decided to stay out of the matter. Any lingering pity she had for Suella was gone. "Very well. Proceed, then."

Suella wanted to explain herself, but then she realized this might be the last time she ever talked to Alicia. I'm going to be rich, and then I'm going to live the best life abroad. I don't have to lick her boots anymore. She sat up straighter and faced Danny. "Danny, you still have Alexander, the Griffiths, and Camren helping you out. Thirty million is frankly a good price for your future. If you're a man, just pay up."
"I see you've looked into my background," Danny sneered and leaned back in his seat. He then crossed his legs and shot Suella with a look of disdain. "But I never said I did it. Just because you're scamming me doesn't mean I'll go with it."
"You're denying it?" Suella froze for a moment, then she looked at the report Ariel was holding down and smiled. "Do you think I only have one copy of that report?"
She mimicked Danny and leaned back in her seat, then she crossed her arms. "I'm no idiot. I've made a dozen copies of it. And killing me won't work. If I die, then this report shows up on social media and the web pages of police departments all over the country by tomorrow. Now, what will you do?"
No longer able to contain her amusement, Ariel laughed. "You have an active imagination. You think you're worth the risk?"
Suella rolled her eyes. "Either you pay up, or I'll make your life hell."
