"Technically, you saved my life, so I shall listen to you then."
Harvey had studied abroad for a few years back then, hence he was a little more open-minded. In his opinion, marriage was really not a big deal.
"Of course, I won't put you into a difficult situation either." Xenia walked to her bed and sat down. "I won't stop you from going home during the holidays."
"Going home? Don't worry about that. You can be assured that I will always be here during the New Year celebrations. My parents travel overseas around that time, so they don't usually stay at home."
The Felton family was not really close among themselves, and even the gatherings were very rare too. Harvey's brothers were all busy with their own businesses.
As time passed, they were just ordinary people with biological relations.
As Xenia sat on the bed and discussed the future with Harvey, a middle-aged man in a suit entered.
"Mr. Harvey, right?"
The man was holding an envelope, and he went straight to Harvey as soon as he came in.
"Yes, I am."
Harvey nodded. He scanned the man who was standing before him up and down, and felt that he looked unfamiliar.
He thought that they had never met before.
"Hi, my name is Sawyer Godfrey, I am Madam Harington's attorney. First of all, I would like to apologize on Madam Harington's behalf for causing your injuries due to her mistakes."
The lawyer named Sawyer introduced himself as soon as he came in.
Without further ado, he immediately concluded that the car accident that happened a few days ago was a mistake.
"You are Amelia's lawyer? Isn't her lawyer Yoel Jakeman?"
If Amelia had been able to find an actual lawyer back then, she wouldn't have found Yoel, and the things that happened successively would not have taken place at all.
"I am President Rae's personally appointed lawyer, and I will be in charge of Madam Harington's car accident this time," Sawyer explained.
Xenia then immediately understood. As she sat on the bed leisurely, she asked, "Hector is really interesting. Does he only care about his wife and not his daughter?"
"Well, I'm not too sure about this." Sawyer knew that Xenia was not an easy person to deal with, thus he turned to Harvey and said, "Mr. Harvey, I'm here to discuss the compensation for the accident on behalf of Madam Harington. This is the listed compensation. Please take a look."
He handed over the envelope to Harvey as he said this. Just as Harvey was about to take it, Xenia quickly grabbed it and said, "There's no point giving it to him. I have the final say here."
"I'm sorry, but you are?"
Sawyer looked at Xenia and began to sweat a little.
"This is my wife."
"Oh, Mrs. Felton. Nice to meet you."
"What's so nice about it? Do you know why I'm here as well, wearing a patient's clothes?"
Xenia questioned as she read the document.
Sawyer had written a comprehensive agreement including medical fees, work and mental loss compensation, and many other complicated indemnities. Conclusively, it was a total of 127 thousand dollars.
"Was it because..."
"It's because my husband's liver had ruptured, and he was close to dying. I donated my liver lobe to him, and so both of us are here."
Xenia was not satisfied with the compensation fee, hence she spoke with an annoyed tone.
"Oh, so it was you, Mrs. Felton, who donated the liver lobe. Mr. Felton is definitely a lucky man."
Sawyer was slowly understanding the situation. He had to persuade Xenia first in order to get Harvey to agree on settling this matter out of the court.
Sawyer did not know about Xenia's background. However, when he heard her saying one million dollar was just for beggars, deep down he had a thought that she must be trying to ask for more money.
"More than sufficient? How is one million dollar considered more than sufficient?"
"Mrs. Felton, then what is the amount that you think would be appropriate? "
Looking at her casual attitude towards one million dollars, Sawyer was really tempted to see how much Xenia would ask for.
"Well firstly, it was the Felton Group's Young Master who had his liver ruptured, and the one who donated the liver to him was Augustine Lowell's granddaughter. How much money do you think is appropriate to compensate for both our parents' mental anguish, and also my grandfather who loves me so dearly?"
How could Xenia have missed Sawyer's look as he looked down upon her?
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Sawyer's facial expression finally had some changes.
Initially, he had thought that Mrs. Felton, who was sitting on the bed, was just an ordinary woman. It was totally out of his expectations that her background was so much more impactful than Harvey's.
"Therefore, I would like to see Amelia. Otherwise, I'll request a humongous amount of compensation and I'm afraid that it is not an amount that can be afforded by the Rae family."
To be honest, Xenia didn't care about the money. She just wanted an answer from Amelia, and not some money as compensation after hitting Harvey.
"Actually..." Sawyer could only come up with an alternative plan after knowing about Xenia's background. He hesitated and continued, "Madam Harington's mental condition has been unstable ever since this accident. She's currently receiving treatment in a hospital."
"Mentally unstable?"
Xenia did not expect that Sawyer would use such an excuse to reject her request.
"If she is mentally unstable, ask her to visit our hospital then. We have the best doctors in A City who can treat her."
After hearing this, Harvey, who had remained silent all this while and allowed Xenia to speak freely, finally said something.
