Chapter 375
Samuel had no idea when Cameron called the cops, or when she had started recording everything.
Cameron was shocked when she opened the door, expecting to see Austin but finding Samuel at her place instead. There was no doubt about that
Again, Samuel wondered, ‘Did all of this really happen right under my nose?‘
Cameron smiled at Samuel, patted her ribs, and said,
Fraser, you’re on your own now. Good luck.”
Samuel widened his eyes in anger.
Cameron went to the station, gave her statement, and handed
the recording. By then, it was almost noon.
Saraf wasted no time bringing in a lawyer and a
doctor. The wrapped his broken ribs with a chest bandage and put him on a
him not to move.
Meanwhile, the lawyer, Paul Harris, advised settling with money, as it was
better than going to jail.
Gritting his teeth, Samuel agreed and asked Cameron, “How much do you want?”
Cameron smiled and held up three fingers.
Paul guessed, “Three million dollars?”
Cameron shook her head. “30 million dollars.”
Samuel’s eyes went wide. “You might as well rob me!”
Cameron grinned. “Isn’t that exactly what I’m doing?”
Samuel was rendered speechless.
Paul interrupted, “Mr. Wallace, 30 million dollars is way too much. Your family’s villa is over ten years old and not even located in a prime area. At best, it’s worth three million dollars.
“And your family’s company? After the broken engagement with Ms/Chapman, it was already on shaky ground. Even without Mr. Fraser pushing, it was about to collapse.”
Finally, Paul concluded, “It’s barely worth anything in the first place, so six million dollars is the absolute max.”
Cameron smiled. “Or, how about we just let Samuel go to jail?”
Paul had no words, while Samuel said grimly, “I’d rather rot in jail than
give you 30 million dollars.”
Cameron thought for a moment, then put on a reluctant look. “Alright, 15 million dollars. That’s me cutting you a deal, okay?”
Samuel glanced at Paul, who nodded slightly. Then, Samuel wrote a 15–million–dollar check on the spot.
Cameron flicked the check with her finger. “Thanks, Mr. Fraser.”
She had seriously pissed Samuel off. If looks could kill, she would have died a thousand times by now.
Cameron had just signed the settlement and was about to head out when Samuel called, “Wait!”
Cameron turned around. “Mr. Fraser, what else do you want?”
Samuel, lying on the stretcher, turned his head to look at her. “Cameron, give the check back.”
