“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 black market, I will take necessary legal action.”
“Noted, Mrs. White.” the lawyer acted accordingly.
“Also, circulate 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.
“Slap yourself two hundred times.” Luna gritted her teeth and stared ferociously at her.
Charlotte was dismayed. Nonetheless, 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 relative. 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 complicated smile. “How are we going to settle this in private?”
“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 to compensate us. Come on, you can’t expect us to lose thirty million without getting any compensation. This is preposterous!”
Amanda looked the other way. “Ms. Longman, Ms. Cheney, please be our judge. How can she treat us like this!”
