Chapter 324

Now, it seemed this innocent-looking witch did have some tricks up her sleeves. She wasn’t as simple as she looked.

William’s gaze swept across Yvette and Sasha. “Three million. If you don’t accept it, the door is right over there. I’m sure your family is affected by Rachel’s scandal with Tyler and Howard, too.”

“Exactly!” Cassandra chimed in. “Didn’t you read the comments online?”

Sasha and Yvette exchanged glances. William was right–the situation caused by Rachel was indeed affecting the share prices of the Lloyds’ business.

That was why Jim wanted them to come here and negotiate with the Lewis family in hopes that they would arrive at a satisfactory solution.

Sasha and Yvette didn’t really care about Rachel, but they wanted to seize this chance to get some money for themselves.

Yvette whispered into Sasha’s ear, “Forget it, Mom. Five million is too much. If we anger William until he refuses to give us a cent, we’ll end up with nothing.”

Sasha patted the back of Yvette’s hand to reassure her that she knew what she was doing. She coughed and said, ” On account of us being family, we’ll take three million.”

She pulled out a card from her bag and put it on the table.

“Please transfer the money to this account.”

With that, Sasha and Yvette turned and left the house.

Cassandra walked out to see their retreating figures, spitting on the floor with anger she couldn’t hold back.

“Who do they think they are? They treat Rachel so poorly, yet here they are, demanding money in her name the moment she disappeared. How shameless! Rachel must be cursed to be born in such a nasty family. They’re using her even while her whereabouts are unknown!”

Cassandra’s words made William think back on what he had done, and it made him feel terrible.

He looked irritably at his mother’s back profile. “Mom, stop it. We aren’t much better than them. Take it as compensation for Rachel.”

After Yvette and Sasha got into the car, Sasha received a notification on her phone. She glanced at it; when she saw the balance in her account, a huge grin spread across her face.

“Didn’t expect William to give the money so readily!”

Yvette shot her a look of concern. “We might have gotten the money, but how are we going to explain things to Dad?”

Sasha’s excitement faded. “Yes, what do we tell your dad? We were supposed to be here to stick up for Rachel, but ended up getting money. If he finds out, he’ll be furious with us!”

Yvette’s eyes narrowed, a vicious look on her face.

“Whatever it is, Rachel is gone, and the Lewis family is planning for a divorce. We probably won’t have further interactions with the Lewis family from here on. Let’s just make up an excuse.”

“Alright. Leave the three million with me. Just tell me what you want to buy and I’ll give you the money,”

“Sasha,”

said with a gentle pat on Yvette’s shoulder.

Yvette’s brows furrowed. “But Mom, didn’t we agree to split it evenly? Why are you…”

“Are you silly? If I gave you the money and your dad becomes suspicious enough to check your bank balance, he’ll find out!”

Sasha patted Yvette’s shoulder again, trying to ease her doubts.

“Alright, why are you so worried about leaving the money with me? Do you think I won’t give you the money? How about this–if that’s the case, you can always tell your dad what happened today.”
