Inside the police station's mediation room.
With both lawyers present, Wesley drafted The Sarcastic Apology Note.
He offered Quinn fifty thousand dollars in compensation. Marcus Foley turned to his client. "Ms. Avery, if you find this unacceptable, we can push for more."
Quinn demanded one million. Wesley accused her of being a greedy extortionist and a lunatic desperate for cash, prompting a sharp rebuke from Marcus.
"Mr. Winter, watch your language and refrain from personal attacks. My client's demand is far from an extortionate sum.
You illegally confined my client in a hotel bathroom for an entire night, resulting in her losing consciousness and requiring emergency hospitalization.
Your actions constitute unlawful imprisonment and have caused severe physical harm.
This compensation covers medical expenses, emergency care, physical damages, emotional distress, and future recovery costs.
Mediation is a voluntary negotiation. My client has every right to make reasonable demands based on the trauma she endured.
You are free to reject this figure, but you have no right to slander my client as 'desperate for cash' or 'extortionate.'
If you continue to harbor such malicious assumptions and throw insults, there is no point in continuing this mediation.
We will simply compile our evidence and pursue full criminal charges and civil litigation."
Marcus pushed up his glasses, his stern gaze fixed on the opposing counsel as he spoke with measured precision.
"I suggest opposing counsel rein in their client and maintain basic decorum in this setting."
The opposing lawyer shot Wesley a warning glare, finally shutting him up.
But Wesley was seething inside. She was just the daughter of a servant, yet she had usurped his sister's position for four years.
And now, she was calling the cops over a minor inconvenience just to shake him down for a massive payout?
What a bitch!
How could she talk about her brother like that?
But this time, the man chose to remain a cold spectator. He leaned back in his chair in silence, his eyes so deep it was impossible to read his mood.
That made Jade feel even worse. A misty sheen gathered in her gorgeous eyes, making her look utterly fragile.
Yet the man simply watched quietly, offering no words of support.
Wesley's face instantly flushed crimson. Rage shot straight to his head, and he instinctively wanted to slam the table and curse Quinn out.
His lawyer quickly intervened, whispering a harsh reminder about the rules of mediation. Wesley had to bite his tongue, the veins in his arms bulging as his fury found no outlet.
Dominic Grant issued a stern warning. "Ms. Avery, please watch your language. Do not insult our client."
Quinn replied coldly, "Your client refuses to apologize himself and hesitates to pay the settlement. If he doesn't want to resolve this, let's stop wasting time."

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
