As the remained silent, Amandar leared her the “Seven clock tonight. If you don’t come we’ll tick to the wal compensation of one laundred million

Jemima took the phone away from her car and stared at the reen lost in tonight
Me recalled what Angelia said earlier. It she going to come trouble in the last ten dayı!
She and Amanda had always been distant and at olds. From the very beginning. Amanda had direppersed of her family background and kept trying to break them up Even after marriage, she had not been allowed to intr the h

Amonila probably summoned her over now was probably for another power play and a final warning with the compensaries agreement as an added formality.
Originally, Jemina had still been debating whether to go, but an hour later, Louis sent her a text. Mr. Willis, whist do you think?
Jemima pressed her lips together.
She had no idea why he was pressing the matter.
It weren’t for how impolite it would be, she’d rather just land the suit directly to the property manager and have him pass it along After all, Scott lived right upstairs.
Aber thinking it over, she decided it wouldn’t do to keep ignoring them. Offending Scratt wasn’t in her best interest
Maybe she should return the suit and meet with Amanda while she was at it.
Having made up her mind, she replied to Louis: Sure. When would be a good time?
Louis responded promptly: Eight o’clock
Jemima put on some light makeup and changed her clothes before heading to her parents‘ house.
A few days ago, Julius had blocked her at the entrance of her residential area, making her realize she was being followed. In the days since, she had also noticed a suspicious car outside her mansion, confirming her suspicions
She had barely driven out when Julius called. “Are you taking a nap?”.
Ta‘ He’s trying to set me up, huh?
Jemima scoffed inwardly. “I’m driving to my parents‘ place.”
“To deliver the suit?“:
“Yes, that’s right”
Jemima glanced at the suit resting on the passenger seat.
Satisfied that she wasn’t lying. Julius ended the call. At the same time, he instructed the people monitoring her to follow her to her parents‘ home and continue keeping watch.
Jemima arrived at the residential area where her parents lived
Both of them were retired university professors. When she arrived, her father Bradley Willis wasn’t home. Her mother. Stella Henforth, was surprised to see her there at this hour. “Are you not working today?”
“I took a day off because I’m feeling a bat under the weather” Jemima touched her throat and even coughed a few times for
effect.

Shortly after, someone came out to escort her, leading her through a series of twists and turns before stopping at a private room. The person opened the door for her:

“Didn’t you call me here to sign the compensation agreement? Where is it?” Jemma didn’t want to waste time on pleasantries. and got straight to the point as soon as she sat down
Whats the rose Have some coffee list. Let’s chat
Jemima–raised an eyebrow skeptically
She glanced at the coffee in front of her and picked it up for a closer look. “You didn’t poison this, did you?”
Amanda let out a derive chuckle. “If you’re afraid of poison, then don’t drink it.”
Jemima set the cup down and pushed it a little farther away. “You’re right. Best not to drink it.”
Amanda was speechless for a moment before forcing a smile. She was about to make another side remark. “You’re from a
“Oh, give it a rest That line is so overused. Aren’t you tired of saying it! If you want to handle business, then do it. Don’t waste time with this nonsense “Jemima cut her off bluntly
Amanda’s face darkened with anger
Mir slid the agreement ss the table. “Sign it”
Jemima picked it up and flipped through it page by page.
A criauju samon agreement should have been a simple matter, so one page would have sufficed. However, this one dragged
an ten pages, filled with unnecessary flutt. Clearly, they slishy’t want her scrutinizing it too closely.
After reading through it, she set it down without a change in expression “I need to go over this with my lawyer. I’ll give you

“If there’s an essor, tell me directly I can make revisions”
” I ask for revissons you’ll actually change it? How abour I draft a new one instead?
“That wont do it has to be my version” Amanda’s face turned cold.
Finished
Jemima leaned back leisurely “Didn’t you just say you could revise it? Now you’re saying it has to be yours? What’s that supposed to mean
Amunda was firm. “It means you’re not leaving until you sign it.”.
Jemima ditat lose her temper
She pretended to consider it before saying. “Okay, let me step out and call my lawyer. If she says it’s fine, I’ll sign right away
she got up and walked toward the door with the contract in hand.
The moment she stepped out, she didn’t look back and walked away quickly.
A bad feeling crepe over her. Some of the clauses buried within those pages had made her scalp tingle–like one that stated: the party seeking divorce is found to hate engaged in an improper relationship with another person prior to the finalization of the divorce. this agreement shall be rendered all and sid

she hadn’t been involved with anyone. However, such matters could easily be fabricated
She had really overestimated Amanda’s conscience.
Inside the lounge, Amanda pulled out her phone and made a call. “She left, and she took the agreement with her. Nadie, are you really sure you can save me this breakup feel”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Stahl. I’ve got everything arranged. I guarantee the Stahl family won’t have to spend a single cent, and she won’t dare try to extort you again.”
“That wonderful Nadie. You’re so capable. 11l leave it to you, then.”
“Of course Mrs. Suhl. Leave it to me.
Both sides ended the call.
unda took a sip of coffee, feeling relaxed and pleased.
The thought of announcing the Stahl and Goodwin families‘ marriage alliance at her charity dinner tomorrow night without any lingering concern filled her with joy.
As for that wretched girl Jemima? She didn’t know what Nadine had planned, but whatever it was, it would do her some good
Meanwhile, Nadine held her phone, a sinister glint in her eyes.
Tonight would be the night Jemima met her doom!
