"That isn't a lot of money. She would have easily earned that in the next five years," Karla interjected on Sienna's behalf.
Of course, that figure was before taxes, and the actual amount reaching Sienna's pockets wouldn't be nearly as high.
But since Sienna had already set the price, Karla knew exactly how to make Tiffany back off.
Tiffany's first reaction was pure disbelief. "How is that possible? Is it really that easy to make money in the entertainment industry?"
That was faster than robbing a bank!
"Why don't you go ask Leon?"
"He isn't even half as successful as Sienna, and he's still raked in quite a bit since his debut, right?"
Karla was unwilling to waste any more breath on her foolish relative.
Tiffany didn't want to talk to Karla anymore, either.
In her eyes, the woman was completely unreasonable.
She turned her attention straight back to Sienna.
"A billion dollars is way too much. Miss Darwin, I know you're still angry, but what's done is done, and Leon is willing to do whatever it takes to make amends."
"Look, how about ten million? Will that work?"
"If you agree, I'll go talk to the Byron family. The money will be wired to your account immediately."
The gap between ten million and a billion was astronomical.
Watching from the sidelines, Claire had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.
Sienna and Karla were even less amused.
"Karla, please ask this woman to leave." Sienna didn't want to exchange another word with Tiffany.
She closed her eyes, entirely shutting down any room for negotiation.
In reality, the Byron family had only authorized an offer of five million dollars.
Tiffany had taken it upon herself to double it to ten.
And the result?
The girl wanted a billion!
Even if the Byron family had that kind of cash lying around, they would never hand it over.
