After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 260

Delber frowned, looking at Katniss's smile, feeling a bit uneasy, and stammered, "W- what do you want?"

Katniss snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not as shameless as you. My demands are simple and something you can manage."

Liam, standing nearby, smiled so stiffly that his face seemed frozen. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly responded, "Mrs. Hamilton, please go ahead."

"First, you need to cover the medical expenses. We didn't suffer much, just a bit of a scare, but Ashley was seriously hurt. She can't work while she's recovering, so the Loomis family should be responsible for that," Katniss said, looking at Liam with a calm expression.

Liam nodded in agreement, "Of course."

"And then..." Katniss paused before continuing, "If Ashley wants to continue working at the club, you can't retaliate against her or discriminate against her. If I find out anything is wrong..."

"Of course," Liam quickly agreed before Katniss could finish, "That's only right. It's all because of my son's troublemaking."

A job is just a job; if they don't hire Ashley, they'll have to hire someone else. These demands weren't too excessive.

Liam suddenly felt that this Mrs. Hamilton was indeed young, kind, and very reasonable, not the type to press her advantage. If it weren't for Maximilian protecting her, she might have been severely bullied.

Katniss was very satisfied with Liam's attitude but looked at Delber with a bit of impatience.

Her face darkened as she continued, "Lastly, I hope Delber and his friends at the club will sincerely apologize to me and my friends. Especially to..."

"Ashley!"

Katniss emphasized the name.

Everything had started because Delber disrespected Ashley and tried to flirt with her.

Liam didn't immediately agree to this demand.

He looked at his son, and Delber was indeed angry, "No, if you want money, just say so. If it's not enough, we'll give more. Why go through all this?"

If he did this, how could he face his friends in the future?

Apologizing to Katniss was one thing; no one would dare laugh at him for that.

But Ashley?

Besides being good-looking, what background did she have?

Failing to get the girl, getting beaten up, and then having to submit to her?

If people who didn't get along with him found out, they'd laugh at him for a lifetime. No, no way.

He'd rather spend more money than lose his dignity like this.

At this moment, Celestia also spoke up for her son, "Exactly. Mrs. Hamilton, ask that... girl how much she wants. We'll give any amount, but a public apology is out of the question."

Katniss's face darkened, showing some displeasure.

Maximilian snorted coldly, frowning, "What, does the Loomis family think the money is too much?"

His tone was calm, but it weighed heavily on Liam's heart.
