Chapter 286 

Philip came to a sudden halt. 

“Chloe, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?” he said 

Chloe responded coldly. “So what if I am? It’s not like it’ll hurt you or cost you anything it’s still way better than your actions. Philip, if you hadn’t run into me today, you might’ve been in deep crap. Do you think you would have gotten off scot free if something happened? Aren’t you gonna be a celebrity anymore? How would you approach your crush then?” 

Philip’s face instantly darkened. 

Before he could speak, Chloe continued calmly: 

“Don’t bother thanking me. But one of my employees was almost insulted by you, and that can’t just be swept under the rug Since we’re old classmates, give me 500,000 and we’ll settle this privately.” 

“Chloe, aren’t you asking for a bit too much?” Philip protested. 

“Am 17” Chloe glanced down at Melisa, who was quietly lying in her arms. She tightened her grip around her waist, “You’re the one who was insulted, how do you plan on dealing with it?” 

Theard what Mr. Adam said earlier, I won’t let this go. I have evidence, I will clear my name.” 

Chloe smirked. 

Smart girl 

“It’s your problem, you deal with it. Anything you don’t understand, you can consult a lawyer. I have to go.” 

With that, Chloe released Melisa and turned to leave. 

“Chloe, wait.” 

Philip’s voice rang out suddenly Chloe paused, turning her back to him and smiling. 

“What’s up?” 

Philip’s hands were stuffed in his trouser pockets, balled into fists, but his face still wore a false smile. 

“I think what you just said made sense. There has been a misunderstanding. If things escalate, it won’t be good. Let’s settle this privately.” 

Upon hearing this, Chloe shook her head, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. Melisa just said she wouldn’t let it go.“” 

Philip glanced at Melisa, clearly there was no room for negotiation. 

He wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start. 

At this point, Chloe sighed and patted Melisa’s shoulder, “Melisa, after all, Mr. Reed is my classmate. Let’s not make a big fuss this time, it’s not good for your reputation. How about this, one million, and we’ll settle this privately.” 

One million?! 

Just now it was clearly 500,000, now it’s one million?! 

Philip felt a lump in his throat, almost suffocating. 

And Melisa, hearing one million, was so nervous she didn’t dare to breathe. 

She was just an ordinary person, and 500,000 already had her on edge, but now it was suddenly one million?! 

Let’s be honest, no one’s gonna make life hard for themselves. 

She needed to live, and without money, there was no life. 

Those girls in novels who live without a care for money in the name of dignity, she definitely wasn’t one of them. 

“Since Ms. Summers said so, let’s respect her wishes.” 

Chloe didn’t believe in maintaining excessive pride and arrogance in these situations. Obviously, the more money the better. E ven though she didn’t care about money, but the other party did. 

She just wanted to make them uncomfortable. 

“Thank you for respecting me.” Chloe laughed, turning to look at Philip, “One million. Pay up, and this matter will be over.”
