However, Mia would never give in.
Her tone was cold. "You're underestimating me, Mr. Shelbert. Do you think that the life and death of the Barretts would bother me?"
"I dared not underestimate you, Ms. Mia. But there's no point for both our families—or even the three families—to be on bad terms because of such a trivial matter. It won't do anything good to us."
"So how would you like to settle this?"
Raymond suggested, "I know that my daughter is at fault, but I can hand over the project to you to make up for it. For future projects, I will consider your family first. How's that? You won't lose anything from this."
"Do you think I need that?"
"Ms. Mia, if you have other conditions, tell me. I will do my best to fulfill them."
"Simple. Let Luna pay for the price." Mia turned around, looking at the bodyguards by the door. "If you insist on not letting me leave the room, I will call Dominic right now. Since you have something over his head, he might as well talk to you personally. That'll be better."
She reckoned that Raymond didn't want Dominic to get involved in this at all.
"It was just a joke, Ms. Mia. Don't take it seriously." Raymond motioned for the bodyguards to make way for her.
He was trying to threaten her, but he didn't expect the loafing woman to be this confident. She wasn't afraid at all.
Furthermore, he wouldn't want her to contact Dominic. Not only was Dominic a difficult opponent, but he was also famous for pampering his sister.
Feeling agitated, Luna looked at Raymond. "Are you going to let her go like this? She hasn't agreed to your conditions yet."
Raymond didn't respond to that.
