Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 378

But...

Elara quickly remembered the look on Vivian's face a few days ago when she left the law firm after dropping those hard truths.

She actually looked like she had taken it to heart and believed her...

Well... this was a complicated feeling.

Elara rested her chin in her hand for a moment, then deleted everything she had typed. [Let's change our strategy.]

Gillian: [?]

Elara: [Don't hold back at the trial. Forget playing it safe with the compensation. Push our demands to the absolute limit.]

Whether the plaintiff's demands were met depended entirely on whether the defense appealed and how the court ruled.

They had already finalized the compensation terms ages ago.

Elara's sudden pivot was surprising.

Gillian didn't really mind, though. The court had the final say anyway; they were just putting the numbers on the table. [Alright, what's the play?]

Elara sent over her newly devised plan: [Double the original amount.]

Gillian: [...Are you serious?]

Elara: [Dead serious.]

The judge would make the final call, but seasoned lawyers could usually estimate a ballpark figure.

Their original demand was already heavily padded. Doubling it might literally look like extortion.

Elara typed back with pure defiance: [I'm the victim here. What's wrong with asking for a little extra?]

Gillian: [...You're the boss.]

Once the decision was made, Gillian immediately logged off to get the paperwork in order.
