Chapter 520: While Silver Fox called Bumet a "dummy," a distant siren pierced the air, causing him to not hear it clearly. However, a strange sense of familiarity washed over him. This feeling of recognition sent ripples through his heart, unsettling him deeply.
Bumet halted in his tracks, turned, and fixed Silver Fox with an intense gaze for a few moments. "What did you just say?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Caught off guard, Silver Fox quickly composed herself, a bright yet insincere smile spreading across her face. "I said you're handsome, charming, and eternally attractive." Her voice dripped with false sweetness, and Bumet could sense the desperate flattery behind her words.

As the CEO of Hoffman Group, Bumet's twas worth a fortune. Silver Fox had no intention of compensating his lost hours.
The driver standing nearby couldn't help but smirk. To him, Silver Fox was indeed a character. Her attempts to placate and appease Bumet were riddled with disdain and humiliation.
Bumet, sharing the driver's sentiment, remained silent for a moment before deciding to ignore her. He turned away and continued toward the Daniels Group.
As Bumet's figure receded, Silver Fox clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "You heartless, wealthy bastard! If you ever fall into my hands, I'll make sure you pay dearly." Once Bumet was out of sight, the driver approached her. "Miss, we need to discuss the compensation." Silver Fox shot him a frosty glance. Despite his gentle and kind demeanor, she resented him because of Bumet, viewing him as nothing more than a lackey for an unscrupulous boss. Her voice was sharp as she addressed him. "I'll compensate him.
Your cold-hearted boss wants 30 million dollars, right? I'll write a check. And let him know that since he asks for one more million, I'll curse him with daily misfortune. He'll find himself trapped in elevators every single day." The driver was at a loss for words. He, too, felt that Bumet was being excessively harsh on the young lady. Despite Silver Fox's humble apologies, Bumet, who certainly wasn't short on cash, demanded an extra ten million dollars for emotional damages. The driver believed he should have only asked for compensation for the car damage.
However, the driver wasn't in a position to challenge the decision. He had to follow his boss's orders and negotiate with the young lady accordingly. So, he didn't argue with Silver Fox's rude response and instead wore a wry smile.
Silver Fox opened her bank app, intending to transfer the money to the driver and put an end to this unpleasant incident. But upon checking her account balance, she felt a headache coming on and rubbed her temples. Her account balance of only 20 million dollars proved insufficient to cover the compensation.

Marissa chuckled and replied, "How much do you need?" "Twenty million dollars," Silver Fox responded. She requested an extra ten million for her living expenses over the next few weeks to avoid living on a shoestring budget.
A few seconds later, her phone chimed, indicating the money had been transferred into her account. Marissa had sent her thirty million dollars in total.
"The extra one million is to make you feel better," Marissa clarified. "I know you've been through the wringer." Silver Fox felt a surge of gratitude. "Aww, Black Snake, you're the best. I'd be living in poverty without you. Boohoo..." Marissa asked, "Have you learned your lesson? You need to start saving money. Better late than never. You've earned a lot working with me. Although you can't rival a tycoon like Bumet in wealth, you should still be a millionaire. But you always overspend. That's why you don't have funds for emergencies.”
Pouting, Silver Fox turned to the driver. "Giveyour account m number. I'll transfer the compensation."
The driver didn't expect her to be so m straightforward and gave. d and gave her his account number immediately. After that, Silver Fox snorted. "I need you to pass on another message to your boss..."
