Who knew what would happen if Sadie's demand for 1.5 million was met? She might start demanding more in the future.
"Yes, Mrs. Kings."
Thomas nodded and walked over to Sadie. "Please give me your bank details. I'll get the finance department to make the transfer now."
"Huh? Oh. Great. Fantastic. I have my bank details right here on my phone."
Sadie was ecstatic at the sudden windfall of 900,000. She couldn't care less about Matthew now.
After pulling up her bank details on her phone, she recited the account number out loud for Thomas.
Five minutes later, she received a text informing her that 900,000 had just been transferred to her bank account.
Veronica pushed Matthew's wheelchair herself as she headed off.
Sasha didn't want to let them leave. She tried to stop Veronica, but Skyler dragged her to the side and said quietly, "It's better if Matt stays with Roni. If Adrian finds out that he's with you, both of you might get beaten up together. When that happens, who's going to save you guys?"
Adrian was in love with Sasha, and she too relied on that violent man far too much.
"I…"
Sasha couldn't refute him.
Skyler patted her shoulder. "Take a word of advice from a friend. Just carry on with your life. You can visit Matt whenever you have some time to spare."
"Hmph. I can't believe how heartless you are, Drew. We're childhood friends, but here you are defending an outsider!"
"I'm just telling it like it is."
"I have no freaking idea what kind of spell that witch put on all of you. Why are all of you taking her side?"
"She's Matt's wife now. Stop saying such ridiculous things."
