“Ha!” Conrad snorted. “150,000 dollars is worth far more than the price of that stab!”
“Hey, how can you say such words!” Mrs. Thomas’ bad temper was starting to show. “If that stab hit a vital area, we would have lost a daughter!”
Conrad coldly curled up the corner of his lips. “If she was stabbed to death, the compensation would be 1.5 million dollars!”
His cold and heartless demeanor made Mr. and Mrs. Thomas absolutely dumbfounded.
Although they had heard that he was very decisive and did not have a reputation for being kind, the old couple had never gotten close enough to meet him and thought that as a young man, no matter how bad his temper was, he would be able to talk to them nicely if they acted a little more gentle.
“You, you…” Mrs. Thomas was so mad that her head hurt and she did not know what to say.
Mr. Thomas thought about Fia taking the initiative to visit Britney last night and had even brought money over and instantly set his eyes on Fia.
“You are his wife. You also have responsibility in this matter!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia flashed a smile that did not reach her eyes. “I do indeed have responsibility.”
Her tone was faint and just as the two elders were stunned, she smiled superficially and said, ” My responsibility was for allowing the second lady of the Thomases the chance to get near my husband.
“If I had accompanied my husband to the gathering, then your daughter would have been fine.”
She could see that the two elder Thomases were thinking of gaining benefits.
“I advise the both of you to continue to live your lives knowing your boundaries and not fantasizing about things you should not think about.”
“What does a housewife like you know?! Our Britney saved your husband, and that is a great righteousness. Righteousness cannot be measured with money!”
“Oh, alright.” Fia hugged Conrad’s arm, looked at him and said, “They don’t want money. Stop throwing money at them.”
Conrad quietly looked at her, smiling slightly without saying anything.
All he saw was her turning her head to look at the two elder Thomases. “Why don’t we go to court? We’ll get someone to examine her for injuries and let the court decide how much we need to compensate her.”
The two elders of the Thomases looked like they had eaten something wrong.
They knew very well how deep the injuries of their second daughter were.
Last night, Fia had already sent over money sufficient for the medical expenses and additional nutritional expenses.
If it was handed over to the court to decide, they probably wouldn’t be getting much money either.
Compared to the 150,000 dollars Conrad mentioned, it would be insignificant.
However, what they wanted was not 150,000 dollars. They wanted to have a connection with Maxwell Corporation!
Mr. Thomas couldn’t keep calm and directly said as he stared at Conrad, “We don’t want compensation. If you are truly thankful, then give our company a…
“Dad! What are you all doing!” Britney was angry and ashamed as she walked over. “I’m not a three- year-old child. You don’t need to meddle in my affairs!”
“Britney, you are just too kind. Your mother and I…”
“Can you just shut up!” Britney was extremely angry. She never thought that these old things from the Thomases would actually be so stupid! This could totally ruin her plans!
The two of them looked at their own daughter in shock. The obedient and gentle daughter of theirs had never shown them a dark face since young.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBritney noticed that she was not acting right and immediately lowered her head. When she raised her head again, she regained her supposed timidity, nervousness, and aggrieved
expression.
She held a hand each and looked at Conrad weakly.
“I apologize on behalf of my parents. Don’t take it to heart. They just feel heartache for me.”
Conrad looked at Britney indifferently. “Their greedy looks have already been exposed. What else is there to say?”
“It’s not like that. You have misunderstood my parents. They really did not mean it that way. They only wanted to protect me.” Britney’s large bean sized tears started flowing as she looked at Fia.
In her impression, both Fia and her mother were easily persuaded.
“Fia, I’m sorry. Yesterday my injuries were hurting and that’s why I said such words. Can you talk to Mr. Maxwell, taking into consideration that I am injured?”
Fia gave a shallow laugh, asking as if she did not understand, “Talk to him about what? Tell him to invest in your parents’ company or to have a long term collaboration?”
“No, no! I don’t want these benefits. I did it willingly. I don’t have any other intentions.”
“Then what do you wantto talk to him about?” Fia’s smile widened.
Britney appeared to be nervous and sad, speaking hoarsely. “I just, I just wanted to work under my sister. I was naive in the past and left the country. Now, I only wish to work with my sister. My sister likes the working environment in Maxwell Corporation and so do I. Can you ask Mr. Maxwell not to fire me?”
