Chapter 304 Am | Not Worth at Least Ten Thousand
Perhaps feeling guilty or realizing that Lia wouldn't accept his explanations, Leonard gave up the struggle and
asked wearily, "How do you want to handle this? I'll go along with whatever you decide."
Lia discreetly glanced at him, her mind racing. After all, he was a young heir to the Sawyer family; she couldn't
push him too far or overstep her bounds.
So, she said coyly, "Actually... you just need to compensatea little for emotional distress. I'm not greedy. Just
ten thousand will do. We can call it even after that."
He twitched his lips. "Am | really worth less than ten thousand?"
Lia, ever straightforward, looked at him with disdain. "You're not money! Having it in my pocket makesfeel

account. If she couldn't completely sever ties with him, she might as well fight for the best compensation
possible; she was always flexible regarding negotiations. Leonard's face turned pale, and he fell silent for a

girlfriend?"
For a moment, Lia's heart skipped a beat. Seeing him up close, she felt her heart slowly start to
awaken.
It was undisputable -he was incredibly handsome, with striking good looks that could make anyone swoon.
Coupled with his muscular physique, he exuded an irresistible charm that made her flustered.
After a stunned silence, she blushed slightly and retorted, "Not a chance! Being your girlfriend means I'd have to
sleep with you. That would be a loss. Ugh... Jerk!"
He looked utterly baffled and took a deep breath. "Can you just think normally for once?"
Just then, the bathroom door swung open, and Bella emerged. She froze in surprise upon seeing the scene

Lia patted her chest to calm herself as his figure vanished down the hallway. "That scared me! He's just acting
crazy. Let's eat."
Bella pressed a hand to her slightly aching abdomen, feeling unwell. "My period is here, so | have no appetite.
You go ahead. Leonard is a decent guy, and he'd make a good friend. You even stood up for him against Yelena,
so maybe it's best to let bygones be bygones." Lia laughed it off. "I know. I'm not taking it too seriously... | just

The following day, Bella and Lia went to the stutogether.
As soon as they sat down, Leonard rushed into the studio. "Good morning!"
Lia glared at him. "Aren't you done yet?"
Bella stifled a laugh and replied, "Good morning
Leonard clapped his hands, and a bodyguard in a suit and sunglasses entered, carrying at breakfast spread from
