After her rebirth

Desmond was a bit angry.

He thought for a moment and then sat down, suppressing his displeasure, "Laura, this is really too much."

The Boleyn family is rich but not foolish.

Gabriel also chimed in, then said, "Laura, we came with sincerity, and we hope you can be sincere as well. If you start off like this, there's really no need for us to continue talking."

Facing Gabriel, Laura didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

After all, the other party was a businessman, and he was quite intimidating.

Besides, she was just naming a price. Didn't they know how to negotiate?

Laura sighed slightly, "I just want a bit more money to protect myself. And, who knows, when the video is released, I might be sued for false reporting. What if I go to jail? Then I probably won't be able to stay in New York City anymore... Don't you think about all these things for me?"

Oliver bought her a house, but it was only temporary.

The property contract and everything were not with her.

Moreover, although Oliver said he liked and loved her, he was still very calculating. As a boss, he bought a house but didn't pay in full; there was even a mortgage, which was really frustrating.

As for the car, it was an old and relatively outdated second-hand car. She had mentioned several times about buying a new car, but there was no result.

If the Boleyn family could give her a house, a car, and cash, she wouldn't have to look

at anyone's face if she decided to leave in the future.

Gabriel thought for a moment and continued, "We can give you a house, a car, and cash, but not as much as you asked for. Altogether, the value will be controlled around $100,000, either all in cash or as you requested."

This was a direct 70% discount.

Laura was a bit unhappy, "Mr. Boleyn, this is far from what I had in mind." Gabriel smiled, his eyes dark and unclear, "We know this matter will cause you some harm, but everything has to be calculated based on its actual value."

He continued, "You don't have a job now, but with your abilities, how much salary do you think you can get? From what I understand, the average salary in New York City is about $300, and those with skills can get $600. But what level do you think you are?"

Laura's face didn't look good.

She knew she wasn't very capable. Before, her family had money, so she didn't have to worry. After her family went bankrupt, she had tried to find a job but mostly failed. Moreover, she couldn't stand the pressure of working.

Gabriel observed Laura's expression, paused, and then said, "However, I think your level is not very high but not very low either. Let's say you can get $400. $100,000 is roughly your salary for 20 years."

Of course, Gabriel didn't account for future inflation.

But as long as Laura didn't bring it up, he wouldn't mention it.

Sure enough, Laura didn't realize this. She was slightly tempted but still a bit unwilling.

Gabriel seemed to see through her mind. Without waiting for Laura to say anything, he directly said, "An additional $10,000 car, and we will also hire a driver and coach for three months to ensure you can drive without any issues."

Laura's face looked better, but she spoke again, "No need for a driver; I can drive. But $100,000 plus a car, I want the Boleyn family to agree to one more request."

Gabriel pondered, "What request?"noveldrama

Laura smiled, "I'll tell you when I think of it in the future. Just consider it as the Boleyn family owing me a favor. If I need help in the future, you can't refuse."

She remembered a TV show where the female lead made the male lead agree to three requests to be fulfilled later.

Desmond's face didn't look good, "Laura, don't push your luck."

Laura knew when to stop. She smiled, "Don't worry, I won't go overboard. I just want help if I encounter difficulties in the future. Of course, I won't ask you to do anything illegal."

Gabriel thought for a moment and agreed.

Future matters had no legal effect, and they could decide whether to fulfill them based on the situation.

Thus, both parties happily made an agreement.

Gabriel gave Laura a portion of the deposit. After Laura recorded the video and posted it online, she would get another portion. Once Clara's matter was completely resolved, she would get the final payment.

Laura naturally agreed.

She wasn't afraid of the Boleyn family going back on their word. If they did, she would make a big fuss, and then it would be a matter of who would be embarrassed.

Moreover, $100,000 was a lot of money for an ordinary person, but it was nothing to the Boleyn family. They wouldn't cause bigger trouble because of it.

The day after the deposit was transferred, Laura recorded an apology video.

"...I was jealous of Clara, so I spread rumors. I've been feeling uneasy and having nightmares lately..."

"I'm sorry, Clara. I was wrong. I didn't know things would get this big."

"Clara is innocent. I was out of my mind..."

The internet wasn't as developed as it would be in ten years, so the spread wasn't very

wide.

But because of Maximilian, Katniss received the news quickly.

She looked at the comments under Laura's video, and most of them were scolding Laura.

The video was posted on a local New York City forum, so many people knew about Clara's situation. They were apologizing to Clara, admitting their mistakes, and condemning Laura.

At this time, the internet wasn't as hostile as it would be in ten years. People would admit their mistakes when they realized them, unlike many cyberbullies in the future who never admitted their wrongdoings.

But some people analyzed Laura's demeanor, thinking her apology lacked sincerity and seemed fake. But why would she fake an apology to slander herself? Was she forced? However, such comments were overshadowed by the majority of condemning comments, and few people saw them.

Katniss's lips curled up.

The Boleyn family father and son were quite capable. Who knew how much money they spent to make Laura willingly apologize to someone she hated.

Indeed, in the face of money, who can maintain rationality and dignity?

The day after Laura posted the video, the second payment was transferred, making her happy. The Boleyn family, a wealthy family, was indeed very trustworthy.

Once she received the final payment, she would leave New York City for a while to relax.

Mainly because she couldn't help but read the comments, and they were too harsh. Some even dug up her family's past, saying her family's bankruptcy was deserved and karma.

Come on, if there was really karma in this world, people like Clara should have worse

outcomes.

But thinking that the Boleyn family helped her to break off the engagement, her mood improved a bit.
