Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 516

Seeing that the tension was just right, Jayden finally spoke, leisurely repeating every single word he had exchanged with Julian in the office.

When he finished, he made sure to add, "Now, tell me, Ms. Sinclair. Do you still think I've forgotten our agreement?"

"If I had forgotten, I wouldn't have taken such a massive risk to cover for you in front of Julian Sinclair. Do you think he's easy to fool? I had to weigh every single syllable. One wrong move, and we both would have gone down."

Hearing this, Vivienne finally let out a heavy sigh of relief. Regardless of his attitude, he really had saved her skin today.

But she also knew Julian's suspicions were only temporarily pacified. If he was already making moves like this, he would undoubtedly keep digging in the future.

Vivienne forced out a reluctant "Thank you," before quickly adding, "Since the issue is handled, let's leave it at that."

"Leave it at that?" Jayden interrupted her. "Are you planning to hang up on me again? Because I'm not finished."

Vivienne frowned, her patience wearing paper-thin. "What else do you want?"

Jayden traced the edge of his phone, his eyes brimming with undisguised greed. "Our original agreement was mutually beneficial, right? I cover up your scandal, clean up your reputation, stabilize things with Julian, and shield you from all the fallout. Right now, you're the only one reaping the rewards. So, what about me?"

Vivienne's temper flared instantly. "I already wired the money on time! I didn't short you a single cent. What more do you want?"

"Money?" Jayden sneered, completely shedding his polite disguise to reveal the treacherous predator beneath. "That pocket change? That was barely enough to cover my time. Ms. Sinclair, you have the entire Sinclair Group backing you. Your net worth is astronomical. That payout was a drop in the bucket for you."

Vivienne had reached her breaking point, but she couldn't afford to burn this bridge. She was isolated and vulnerable, and she knew she would need him again. Suppressing her fury, she gritted out, "How much more do you want? Name your price."
