Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 231

If money couldn't convince someone, it only meant the offer wasn't high enough.

Dexter knew this all too well. Money was never an issue for him-he had plenty to spare. As long as it got him what he wanted, 50 million was nothing more than a trivial expense.

Initially, Mina seemed completely unmoved. But as time went on, her resolve began to crumble.

Fifty million dollars was an astronomical sum, enough to ensure a life of luxury and ease for the rest of her days.

But the question gnawed at her-what had all this been for? Fifty million couldn't bring her husband back. Wasn't her goal to avenge him, to make sure the Fuller family paid for what they'd done?

Dexter sipped his water with a calm that belied the storm beneath. He said evenly, "Mina, you've worked for my family for many years. You know what kind of man I am."

His meaning was clear. They could settle this quietly and she could take the money and sign the Letter of Agreement. If Mina refused, he would use every ounce of his wealth and influence to protect Kayla by any means necessary.

Mina felt the fight leave her. After a long, heavy silence, she rasped, "Fine, I agree."
