Two million!
Ursula was taken aback but dared not exclaim her surprise at this point. Instead, she forced a smile and agreed, “Yes, this shall serve as compensation for Hannah.”
Bryson cast a scornful gaze in her direction and remained silent, his eyes emanating an unsettling intensity that sent shivers down the spines of Ursula and Calvin.
“Three million!” Ursula’s lips trembled involuntarily as she said, “Given that Johanna instigated all this chaos, we should offer more.”
Brayden, observing from the sidelines, couldn’t help but snicker.
“It seems we’re negotiating compensation.”
“No, no,” Calvin hastened to interject.
“It’s only right. We’ll transfer the remaining one million to this card. Please convey our apologies to Miss Moore.”

She recognized the hand of Bryson in this matter, causing her expression to transform into an even icier visage as she retorted to Declan, “I didn’t put you behind bars, yet here you are, coming for me first. I strongly recommend you to have two words tattooed on your face, with one side ‘shameless’ and the other side ‘thick- skinned’!”
“Hannah!”
Declan was caught off guard by Hannah’s direct approach, which only fueled his frustration.
“Listen up! If something happens to me, it’s no good for you either! Don’t forget! You also have twenty percent of my company’s shares! If the Edwards family faces trouble, do you honestly believe you’ll benefit from it?”
Declan’s frustration was evident as he spoke on the phone.
