Donovan's face fell upon hearing the amount that Henrick demanded.
He thought that the latter would ask for at most several thousand.
In truth, a hundred grand was not a small amount of money to him.
He had just started his career as a teacher. Therefore he had not even gotten his first salary from Jadeborough University yet.
Moreover, his parents were teachers as well, and they could not earn much. Even though they were considered middle-class
people, a hundred thousand was still a huge amount of money to them.
Not only that, but Donovan's parents were extremely strict. If they found out about this, they would certainly berate him.
Since he had worked as a teacher for a year before, he could still afford to pay a hundred grand. However, he would have to
struggle to make ends meet after forking out the money.
Judging_by the situation, he knew that he had to pay Henrick the money in order to resolve the issue. If he did not, things might get

After shesitation, Donovan nodded in agreement. “All right. Please giveyour bank account. I'll
transfer the money to you right now.”
Yet, Henrick gave him the account number and said, “I mean a hundred grand for one accusation. You've wronged her three times
now. That'll be three hundred thousand, nothing less. Otherwise, I'll report you to the Department of Education!”
Donovan's face darkened. Three hundred thousand! I've only worked for a few years. How am | supposed to pay him three hundred
thousand?
Donovan's veins bulged on his forehead. Clenching his fists, he yelled, “You're being_greedy! Arielle didn't suffer any loss. Why do |
need to pay such a huge amount of compensation? If we bring this to the court, you're going to lose the lawsuit!”
Honestly, he felt that Arielle was not affected emotionally by what happened recently at all. Instead, not only had Arielle tarnished
his reputation as a teacher, but he also had not been sleeping well because of her. That had made him extremely cranky every day.
Who's going to compensatethen?
However, Henrick did not compromise. “Fine. Since you're not willing to pay, we'll bring this to court. You'll pay based on the result
of the judgment! Think about it. If you're involved in a lawsuit, will you still be allowed to continue teaching in Jadeborough
University 7”
“You!” Donovan was infuriated as his chest heaved up and down.
Just then, Marcus said, “Mr. Baxter, just agree with it first. We'll negotiate the amount later. You can’t lose your job just for three
hundred thousand. Jadeborough University wouldn't accept a teacher with a criminal record.”
Donovan's face turned several shades darker.
He felt humiliated and furious as he said, “I only have one hundred thousand. | can’t pay the remaining two hundred thousand.”
Henrick then shook his head and replied, “Fine. You'll have to pay the remaining two hundred thousand by next month. Or else, I'll
see you in court! I'll never tolerate anyone bullying my darling daughter, especially in her school!”
Donovan had no choice but to agree after Marcus’ persuasion.
If he could not scrounge up enough money, he would have to ask his parents for it.

There was no doubt that it would be torture for him.
At the side, Arielle was enjoying the show.
She knew that Henrick was not doing that for her. He just wanted the money.
Moreover, Southall Group had just shut down, and he desperately needed money.
After getting three hundred thousand from Donovan, Henrick would have enough money to pay for the rental of his office building
for the month.
All this while, Arielle hated Henrick for being a money digger. However, that flaw had actually cin useful that day. Not bad!
Deep down, she was cheering and clapping for Henrick.
