Chapter 352 A Stroke of Misfortune!

Sierra’s speech faltered, punctuated by sporadic bursts of tears,

Witnessing the situation, Maggie couldn’t suppress a chuckle. It was indeed a classic example of hypocrisy.

Madam Cameron exclaimed, “Precisely! Considering Sierra’s youth and allure, what sort of gentleman wouldn’t be drawn to her? Were it not for Ivan’s ulterior motives, who would give him a second glance? I suspect foul play with the food, perhaps orchestrated by Ivan himself!”

Following some back–and–forth, both factions had abandoned any pretence of civility and shed their masks entirely.

Maggie lingered on the periphery, silently attempting to fade into the surroundings.

Regrettably, there were no snacks for munching, and bringing a tiny stool to perch on was out of the question. Otherwise, she might have relished the spectacle.

Kehlani scoffed, “Is that so? Shall I fetch the school’s footage to reveal who instigated things? If the Camerons lack shame, then the Burtons harbour no fear. Tomorrow, I’ll initiate divorce proceedings against Ivan!”

Her remarks notably subdued the Camerons haughtiness.

Indeed, the dynamics differed between the Camerons and the Burtons. While Sierra was their daughter, Ivan was merely a son–in–law.

Should this affair become public knowledge, sympathy might be extended to Kehlani by some, yet the bulk of the blame would likely fall upon Ivan and Sierra, with minimal repercussions for the Burtons.

Madam Burton declared, “Kehlani speaks the truth. We’ve come here in person to offer you some dignity. Since the Camerons refuse to acknowledge it, we’ll depart and share this incident, along with the video, online for everyone to pass judgment and discern the truth!”

With that single statement, Ronald and Olivia felt their anger rise. Sierra, too, was gripped by panic and hastily knelt, grasping at Ronald’s clothes. “Dad, this absolutely cannot go public. If word gets out, how will I ever face anyone again?”

“Be quiet!” Ronald fought back the impulse to shove her aside, bewildered by his children’s folly.

Olivia couldn’t bear witnessing her daughter in such distress and interjected. She said, “Escalating this situation serves neither of our families well. If you desire something, why not communicate it to us so we can negotiate?”

Madam Burton’s sneer cut through the air, “It’s quite simple. The Camerons can settle this with a payment of 15 million. Half will be deemed reparation for my daughter’s emotional distress, and the remaining half for the children, who will grow up without a father.”

With that single statement, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the gathered assembly.

While 15 million might have been a manageable figure for the Camerons in the past, it now posed a significant financial strain. They grappled with the daunting task of sourcing such a sum.
