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 out of hand, and it would be bad if Maxwell University knew about the matter.
After some hesitation, Donovan nodded in agreement. “All right. Please give me your 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 I 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 I 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 compensate me then?
