Chapter 432 Isaac's Claim
Sylvie looked at the list that was sent over, feeling very confused.
Isaac: [Your two daughters were fighting at my house, and they broke a bunch of stuff. I've made a list with the prices, and I'll need you to cover the original value plus an extra 10% for labor. It's going to take time and effort to clean up and replace everything.]
Sylvie: [What?]
[You've got to be kidding me! My daughters are always so well-behaved. There's no way they'd get into a fight and break that much stuff!]
[Five hundred million dollars? Are you robbing me? Who spends that much on home renovations?]
[Even if Liora and Amara really trashed your house, or even blew up your villa, it wouldn't be worth that much!]
At this moment, Sylvie was at her company. Seeing the price on the list made her so angry that her fury shot straight to her brain.
Five hundred million dollars!
How dare Isaac ask for that much money?
The entire villa wasn't even worth five hundred million dollars.
He only lost a few pieces of furniture and some decorations, yet he was asking for five hundred million dollars.
This was definitely extortion. Did he really think she was that gullible?
The Hansen family was wealthy, but they couldn't just casually come up with five hundred million dollars!
Isaac: [Just because your family isn't worth much doesn't mean mine isn't. A lot of what they broke were antiques. I'm asking for what I paid for them.]
[Over the years, some of those collections have actually gone up in value. If I were to ask for what they're worth now, it'd be way over five hundred million dollars.]
Sylvie looked at this reply, her face turning ugly with anger, her hand trembling as she held her phone.
She shouted in her office, "Those two useless girls, they've only been out for less than a month, and they've already cost me so much money!"
Suppressing her anger, Sylvie replied: [We're all family. Why talk about compensation? Let Liora and Amara apologize to you and promise not to do it again.]
Isaac: [Who said we're family?]
Sylvie: [Did you forget the promise you made to me?]
Isaac: [Of course I remember. But until I marry one of them, we're not family.]
[Even if we were family, family needs to keep things clear. They broke my stuff, so they've got to pay up.]
Sylvie replied angrily: [I don't have the cash, so I'm not paying!]
Isaac: [Trying to renege?]
[Then I'll have to take legal action and have the media cover the whole process. Let's see if the Hansen family loses more than five hundred million dollars.]
Sylvie: [Isaac, don't go too far!]
Isaac: [I'm just protecting my legal rights. If you think I'm going too far, then let's go through legal channels.]
[Here's my bank account number. If you want to settle privately, just transfer the money to my account.]
[I'll give you 24 hours to get the money together. If I don't see it in my account by then, I'll have a lawyer file a lawsuit and make it public.]
Sylvie: [Five hundred million dollars is too much. Although the Hansen family business is worth billions, my personal funds aren't that much. Asking me to come up with five hundred million dollars at once is really difficult.]
[Considering we're about to become family, let's not be so serious. How about I give you one hundred million dollars?]
Isaac did not reply.
Sylvie gritted her teeth: [Two hundred million dollars, is that acceptable?]
The money from the Hansen family company wasn't just hers, but she was the one who had to come up with the cash for that compensation.
Coming up with five hundred million dollars would have hit her hard financially!
Besides, it was not just five hundred million dollars. With the extra 10% for labor, it was already five hundred and fifty million dollars.
Sylvie was so angry she felt like vomiting blood:, thinking, 'What kind of labor costs that much? He's just taking the opportunity to rip me off!'
'I'm not giving him any money. If he wants to sue, let him sue. After all, the Hansen family has more connections with the government!'
But the next second, she chickened out.
If this matter were exposed, it would damage the Hansen family's reputation.
Even the officials who were allied with their family would be implicated.
By then, the losses would be far more than five hundred and fifty million dollars.
Sylvie could only swallow her bitterness and immediately had her assistant prepare the funds and transfer the money to the account Isaac provided.
After transferring the money, her heart was bleeding.
She pulled Liora and Amara into a group chat and initiated a group video call.
Liora and Amara quickly answered.
Amara asked coquettishly, "Mom, isn't it still work time? How do you have time to contact us? What's the matter?"
Liora, with a cold expression, said, "Mom, I'm working at Isaac's company right now. If there's nothing urgent, don't contact me during work hours. It affects my work."
Her injuries had healed, and she had returned to work at Isaac's company.
Sylvie looked at them with a dark expression and scolded sternly, "You two idiots, what on earth did you do at Isaac's house? Do you know how much I had to pay to clean up your mess?"
Liora and Amara both frowned, looking puzzled.
Amara replied, "We didn't do anything. What happened?"
Sylvie angrily explained, "Isaac just sent me a list of items, saying you two fought at his house and broke all his furniture, and now he wants me to compensate him!"
"Do you know how much the things you broke cost in total?"
"Five hundred million dollars!"
"With the additional ten percent labor cost, I paid him a total of five hundred and fifty million dollars!"
Saying this number, Sylvie felt her heart bleeding, her face full of pain.
She was breathing heavily, the anger in her eyes growing, "I sent you to get close to Isaac to win his heart and gain his favor, not to fight at his house and smash his furniture!"
"Fighting in front of him, what kind of impression do you think that leaves?"
"You two are completely useless!"
"If you keep this up, neither of you will marry Isaac. I'll send your cousin instead!"
She was truly angry.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt her two daughters were incredibly stupid.
Amara's eyes lit up with surprise, "Mom, what did you say? Isaac contacted you? He knows the furniture at home was broken? That means he's already back home!"
"I need to go find Isaac. Mom, I'll contact you later. I need to go build a relationship with Isaac!"
Before Sylvie could speak, Amara hung up the video call.
Liora gritted her teeth and said urgently: "Mom, I also need to go say hello to Isaac. We'll talk later."
With that, she also hung up the video call.
Sylvie's chest heaved with anger.
"Those two idiots, didn't they hear that I lost five hundred and fifty million dollars because of their dumb mistakes?"
