Donald did not ask for fifty million. He wanted half of the Havenzo family's assets!
Letizia stood up abruptly, her anger palpable. She addressed Donald with a resentful tone, "Mr. Campbell, I have always respected you, and I have never done anything to offend you. But your words and actions have deeply insulted me. What makes you think you are entitled to half of my family's assets?"
Seeing Letizia so worked up, Donald shook his head and continued, "They say you studied fashion design, so you lack a business mindset. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I do. I think this is a wonderful deal. If I can help you consolidate power and become the true leader of the Havenzo family, then at least you will still have half of the family's assets, won't you? On the other hand, if you don't need my help, you will lose control over the Havenzo family. You will end up with nothing, and you might even risk losing your life. You should know by now how to choose. I'm sure you don't need me to spell it out for you."
Although the conditions proposed by Donald were indeed excessive, Letizia immediately calmed down after hearing his analysis.
Indeed, just as Donald had said, if Letizia could not become the head of the Havenzo family, not only would she not possess the family's assets, but her two brothers would certainly not let her live.
With these thoughts in mind, Letizia settled back down on the couch.
After some consideration, she looked at Donald and asked, "If I am willing to give you half of the assets, can you really solve all my problems?"
"Of course."
Seeing Donald's confidence, Letizia finally made up her mind.
After taking a deep breath, she said to him, "In that case, let's sign the agreement."
"An agreement? Not necessary."
Donald took out a watch and handed it to Letizia.
Upon seeing the trinket, Geraldine instantly became angrier.
That watch was the result of her latest research, wasn't it?
