The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 533

Ferris was trying so hard to please his future mother-in-law, it would be a shame not to seize the opportunity and demand a hefty sum.

This time, I was completely justified. He offered the compensation himself. Even if Vivian Vance were here, she wouldn't be able to say a word against it.

"Of course. I'll transfer the money immediately as an apology." Ferris caught on quickly. Without a hint of objection, he agreed readily.

A flash of relief even crossed his face, his anticipation melting into satisfaction.

Perhaps it was because I had finally backed down as he wanted, or maybe it was because my grand extortion attempt only amounted to a few thousand dollars, allowing him to breathe a massive sigh of relief.

After all, to The Sterling Heir, that kind of money was absolute pocket change.

I didn't wait for him to make the transfer before standing up. Unwilling to waste another breath, I grabbed Leon and walked straight out.

Behind me, I could hear Julia's whiny crying. "Oh, Ferris, thank goodness for you. If you hadn't shown up, I definitely would have been locked up today. That vixen is shameless, seducing men left and right so they'll all take her side. You're the best..."

"She is not a vixen, Mrs. Zeller. Enough." Ferris cut off her whining, his tone a bit harsh.

But he quickly softened it. "Everything's fine now, we can leave. Zoey is still at the hospital waiting for you to bring back the seafood chowder. Let's not make her wait too long, okay?"

"Oh, right, right. How could I forget? Zoey has been craving that chowder. It's all that bitch's fault. I had the food perfectly packed, but the moment I saw her, I just couldn't hold back my anger. I spilled it all over her. What a waste of good food." Julia continued to curse.

Ferris's voice grew noticeably strained. "Mrs. Zeller, this is a police station. Please stop swearing."
