Chapter 187 Fifty Thousand and Not A Penny Less.
âBut if we report this to the police, their reputations would be ruined. How about we settle this
privately?â
Damien chuckled. His deep voice, a pleasant rumble. âHow do you propose to do that?â
âBy not calling the police, the two of you discuss the best way to resolve this.â
The village chief sighed exasperatedly, âThankfully, everyone here is friendly and familiar with each
otherâ¦â
âNo one is allowed to spread news of anything that has happened here tonight. Do you hear me?!â
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Damien smiled faintly. âIt looks to me like youâve already come up with a solution. Am J right?â
He was addressing Vivian and Ben.
The father-daughter duo exchanged glances before thrusting his hand palm up towards Damien. âFifty
thousand!â
Ben looked down haughtily at Damien. âAs compensation for my daughterâs emotional distress, as well
as⦠The damage to her reputation. That makes it fifty thousand!â
During the afternoon, Ben had sent people to look into Damienâs car and found out it cost. several
million.
Fifty thousand was nothing compared to that.
âThe both of you!â
Cherise finally understood this entire thing had been set up to extort Damien for hist money!
âMy husband will not give you any money!â
âThen letâs call the police. Weâll let the police handle this!â
âCherise.â
Damien held her back. âYou claimed I raped Vivian and want fifty thousand as compensation.â Said
Damien in a calm, indifferent voice.

âSo if I provide proof that I did not rape Vivian⦠Will you also compensate me fifty. thousand?â
Damien stretched his arms over his head lazily. âAfter all, being accused by all of you. doesnât exactly
feel pleasant.â
Ben froze. He turned to Vivian,
Vivian frowned. Proof?
What proof could he possibly have?
Heâs blind. How could he provide any evidence if he couldnât see anything?
âFine!â
Ben sneered. âBut if you donât have proof. Fifty thousand and not a penny less!â
Damien smiled calmly. âSure.â
Cherise frowned. Gripping his hand tightly, she pleaded, âDamienâ¦â
This was so methodically planned out, there was no way they would give him a chance to provide
proof.
Damienâs words left them in a bind. Even without evidence, he will have to give them fifty. thousand!
Fifty thousand!
Just the thought of that amount of money made Cherise wince!
Her grandmotherâs treatment only cost sixty thousand.
That meant Damien only received sixty thousand as dowry when they got married.
And now, because of these peopleâs trap. Damien will have to give them fifty thousand!
It wasnât worth it!
Damien smiled and kissed Cheriseâs cheek. âTrust me.â
âShow me the proof you claim to have!â
Ben rolled his eyes and crossed his arms arrogantly.

Damien chuckled. âIâve never been somewhere this isolated before, so Iâm not too sure if any of you are
familiar with a mobile phone?â
Ben sneered and retrieved a phone from his pocket. âEveryone has it.â
âDonât think weâre cut off from the world just because weâre from the countryside.â
âAlright then.â
Damien yawned and leaned more comfortably against the wall. âShow yourself, Blake!â
âOkay.â
The masculine voice of a young man was heard, followed by the closet door swinging open. â
A young man dressed in a blue tracksuit emerged from the closet. âIt was so cramped in there!â
Everyoneâs eyes widened in astonishment. Someone was hiding in the closet?!
Vivian was more shocked than any of them.
