Chapter 304 Am I 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 compensate me a 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 I really worth less than ten thousand?"

Lia, ever straightforward, looked at him with disdain. "You're not money! Having it in my pocket makes me feel secure. Are you saying I'm asking for too much? Come on. Let's sit down and eat while we talk. You can negotiate!"

With money paramount, she no longer felt embarrassed about having pursued Leonard through his anonymous 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 moment.
