Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Compensation of 1.8 Billion Dollars
The Drew Corporationâs annual meeting had only been going on for half an hour, and Boyd Drew was hanging his head under the scrutiny of all the senior executives, while Caleb Mamet sat on a sofa, leisurely savoring his red wine. His expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
Upon hearing that she had to compensate Caleb 1.8 billion dollars, Vivian Drew was suddenly furious.
Why? That was 1.8 billion dollars, not just eighteen million! Besides, the Drew family was already struggling. How could Caleb have the nerve to ask for this money?
The bastard child born by that bitch should have been killed! If only they had killed him when he was young, there wouldnât have been so many troubles now.
Vivian Drew couldnât suppress her anger and cursed, âCaleb! You ungrateful wolf! How can you ask for this money? Thatâs 1.8 billion dollars!â
As soon as her words fell, Sir Drewâs blood rushed to his head, and he roared, âShut up!â
...
High-level executives of the Drew family also looked at Vivian with disgust. This woman was too foolish!
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely awkward. After a moment of silence, the man on the sofa slowly looked up and revealed an indifferent smile. âCompensate me 1.8 billion dollars?â
Everyone held their breath, trembling all over.
Caleb Mamet said casually, âOriginally, I could have accepted this proposal, butâŠâ
But?
Everyoneâs heartbeat almost stopped, and all eagerly awaited Calebâs words, but Xaviera Evans was leisurely eating cake by their side.
âBut it seems Miss Wendy Drew is unwilling. If I took the money, wouldnât I be an ungrateful wolf?â
Vivian Drew gasped, her face turning pale.
Caleb Mamet chuckled, âAnyway, I donât lack this 1.8 billion dollars. I donât have to ruin my reputation for such a small amount of money. Xaviera, what do you think?â
Xaviera nodded like a pecking chick. âExactly! Caleb, I think we should sue the Drew Group! It seems Miss Wendy Drew doesnât care about Mr. Drew at all! Sheâd rather see him in jail than pay the 1.8 billion dollars!â
Caleb nodded, âYeah.â
High-level executives of the Drew family had gloomy faces and quickly pleaded, âMr. Caleb Mamet, Mr. Caleb MametâŠâ
It had taken great effort for them to persuade Mr. Caleb Mamet to accept the money and settle the matter privately, but due to Vivianâs words, he was angered and unwilling?
If the Drew Group was sued, they would not only have to pay compensation, but all their perfumes would be taken off the shelves and destroyed. They wouldnât be able to recover their investment, and Boyd Drew would be imprisoned. More importantly, once the Drew Group was sued, the corporationâs reputation would be greatly affected, and customers would probably never buy their products again. This would be a devastating blow.
Originally, just paying the 1.8 billion dollars would have solved the problem. Although everyone was unwilling to do so, this was the only solution. Now, Vivianâs actions had made matters even worse.
Had Vivian lost her mind?
Sir Drew, who had always doted on his daughter, couldnât help yelling, âVivian! Are you crazy?!â
Madam Drew frowned and said, âWhy are you yelling at Vivian? Sheâs also doing it for the Group. Youâre just siding with Winni DrewâsâŠâ
Upon hearing these words, Sir Drew was so angry that his beard trembled. He immediately interrupted, âShut up!â
âWas Madam Drew implying that he favored Lauderdaleâs son?â Xaviera asked with a smile. âYou donât like Miss Drew, but why are you so good to Boyd Drew? When the Drew family adopted Boyd, they announced that they had found Miss Drewâs biological son. Are you saying that the Drew family knew all along that Boyd was not Miss Drewâs child?â
The whole room was silent.
Sir Drew was almost choked with rage, âXaviera, youâŠâ
The senior executives of the Drew Group all lowered their heads, silent, as the atmosphere was oppressively terrifying.
âLadies and gentlemen.â
At this moment, Caleb Mamet rose slowly, his face indifferent, his voice cold and distant.
âIâm sorry, but I have lost my patience. This farce should come to an end. Xaviera, letâs go.â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Drew family gasped. If Caleb just left like this, it would be tantamount to issuing a death notice to the Drew Corporation.
From the moment he stepped out of the banquet hall, the lawsuit filed by Cold Night would be widely publicized. The Drew family would not only have to pay compensation but would also lose their reputation, and Boyd Drew would be jailed.
Xaviera held Calebâs arm and smiled, âOriginally, the Drew family only had to compensate 1.8 billion dollars, and everything would have been fine. However, Miss Wendy Drew was unwilling to pay, leading to this escalation. Caleb, what kind of intelligence does Miss Wendy have, and who did she inherit it from?â
âItâs probably because their family has too much money and feels that 1.8 billion dollars is too little. She wonât be satisfied until the Drew family is brought to ruin.â
