Chapter 531
When Cecilia heard the offer of a billion dollars, she hesitated
The Hoffman family’s business was only a medium–sized company, and a hillion dollars was a stappering sum. If she could bring that kind of money to her family, maybe they’d overlook her loss of honor and not see her as a useless daughter.
“Maeve! You’re the one who made that promise, not me!” Hailey’s face darkened when Maeve proposed giving Cecilia a billion dollars
She didn’t have much personal wealth, and now she was expected to part with it for someone who used to fetch her foot washing water, just the thought made her seethe with rage.
Noticing Hailey’s displeasure, Cecilia snapped, “Shut up!”
Hailey, with a knife at her throat, didn’t dare move, Cecilia glared at her and continued, “I don’t just want a billion dollars! I want a villa in the city center! “And 1 want the Brooks family to collaborate with the Hoffman family for free! On any project, they must give us a 3% profit!”
Cecilia’s demands were outrageous, but Maeve smiled and said, “Fine, I agree. But you should check with Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Brooks Senior to see if they agree.”
“I don’t agree! I won’t agree!” Hailey’s face flushed red with anger, but Cecilia threatened viciously, “If you don’t agree, then you’ll die with me!” Hailey was terrified that her face had turned ashen. She could only look to Sergio for help.
Sergio frowned slightly and said, “Lagree.”
“Sergio…” Hailey gritted her teeth but had no choice but to agree. “Fine, I agree! Now put the kaufe down!”
In Halley’s eyes, there was no written contract, no proof. They just needed to calm the unhinged Cecilia first
But just as Cecilia was about to lower the knife, Maeve interjected, “Wait.”
Hailey’s face darkened immediately.“Maeve! What are you doing? Are you deliberately making this difficult for me?”
Maeve chuckled, “Mrs. Brooks Senior, do you think Ms. Holtman is foolish? Do you think she’d release you on mere verbal promises without a written contract?”
Maeve’s words made Cecilia realize her mistake. The knife she was about to lower was once again held to Hailey’s neck.
Hailey gritted her teeth in frustration but said helplessly, “Fine, it’s just a contract. Sergio, get the lawyer to prepare one immediately!”
Clearly, Hailey was terrified of death. Sergio palled out his phone and called Larry. Soon, the tax machine upstairs whirred as it received the contract Larry had sent.
Allie brought the contract to Sergio, who was about to sign it when Marve said, “This is the contract between Mrs. Brooks Senior and Ms. Hoffman Naturally, Mrs. Brooks Senior should sign it Right, Mrs. Brooks Sertior?”
Maeve deliberately wanted to make Hailey responsible for this large sum
Halley almost lost her temper, but Allie handed the contract to Hailey. When the contract was in front of her, Hailey hesitated.
“What are you waiting for? Sign it!”
Finder Cecilia’s threat, Hailey had no choice but to sign the document immediately.
