Chapter 74 I’ll Give You Thirty Million Dollars
Jameson had just finished a meeting, and Joe, standing beside him, seemed hesitant to speak. “What’s the matter?” Jameson asked.
“Miss Sally wants to see you, Mr. Royce.”
“I don’t want to see her.”
Jameson felt disgust at the mention of Sally’s name. When he woke up yesterday morning and saw Sally lying naked beside him, his initial reaction was not guilt but disgust.
He had never felt such a strong aversion to someone. Looking at Sally lying next to him, he even regretted how he had once sacrificed Marion for her.
It was the first time he had no trace of pity for Sally. Even when she cried and apologized, he only wanted her to shut up. He did make her shut up by coldly telling her to leave.
He initially thought Sally would not dare to seek him out again, but it seemed he had underestimated her.
The affair between him and Sally had been exposed on the internet with a video and a few photos that circulated yesterday at noon. Everyone online knew about
A day had passed, and he did not even dare to call Marion and explain. There was no way to explain.
Sally had dared to come and find him? Was she seeking her demise?
Joe hesitated for a moment. That was the first time Jameson had refused to see Sally.
However, Joe did not dare to ask anything. The events from yesterday were all over the internet, and Jameson’s expression had not improved since then.
Since he did not want to see her, then so be it. “Okay, Mr. Royce.”
Joe left after that as he arranged to have someone quickly take Sally away to keep her away from Jameson.
However, after taking a few steps, Jameson suddenly changed his mind. “Bring her to my office!”
Joe paused. “Okay, Mr. Royce.”
Jameson returned to his office in irritation. He had not wanted to see Sally, but he
was more afraid that Sally would run to Marion and say something stupid.
A few minutes later, Joe brought Sally in.
“Jay, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have come to see you, but I have no other choice…”
Sally burst into tears as soon as she entered. Joe felt awkward and quickly turned to close the door, leaving them alone.
Tearful apologies again!
Jameson looked at Sally, but there was no longer the turmoil he used to feel when he watched her break down. He realized that every time Sally was with him, she seemed to adopt a demeanor similar to the one he currently witnessed.
Marion had once said that Sally was just pretending to be that way in front of him, but he never believed it!
As he recalled the memory he spoke coldly to her, “Speak up if you have something to say. Crying won’t solve anything.”
Jameson did not console her as he used to. Sally froze, momentarily unsure whether to continue crying or to stop.
She looked at the cold expression on Jameson’s face. Eventually, Sally wiped away her tears and handed over the stack of termination letters from her bag.
“Jay, I don’t know what to do! I didn’t mean to force you. I just can’t come up with this much compensation! I came here today, thinking of asking you for a loan!”
Sally bit her lip and looked ashamed. She kept her head lowered as she pleaded with him. She was too afraid to look at Jameson.
Jameson took the termination letter from her and glanced briefly at it. “How much do you need?”
“Twenty million.”
Sally felt a glimmer of hope and quickly looked up at Jameson.
Jameson lit a cigarette. “I’ll give you thirty million dollars, but I have one condition.”
