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!

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....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
