Chapter 357

My eyes were slightly narrowed as I faintly said, "I'm not sure if you’ve investigated me before this,

President White, but if you have, you would know that I have a brother named Tyler Schuman. Also,

I'm on pretty good terms with Matthew Zimmer, and now with Carlson and Yvonne Schuman. I'm not

too sure if my entire support system combined would be sufficient to send your precious daughter to

serve a few years of a prison sentence, but if all of them aren't enough, I can add Theo and your

stepson into the mix."

After hearing my list of people, Petra White's face immediately grew ashen.

"Is that true, what you’ve said?" A man's voice barged i n abruptly.

I looked around and saw that it was Grayson Louis.

Petra saw that he was asking her a question and understood what he meant. She pitifully nodded.

"That's very silly of you." Grayson sighed. "How could you do this kind of thing for Cindy?"

"She loved Theo too much, and I couldn't bear to watch her not being able to own what she loved."

Petra burst into tears. "You know the suffering she has had to go through all these years. As long as

I'm

capable, I’ll do anything for her.”

Grayson bellowed, "But you still can't harm lives!”

I watched them put up a show, and I scorned them." Stop with the acting, it’s getting awkward for all

of us."

Grayson looked at me with sincerity in his eyes. "I really had no idea about this. If I had known

about it earlier, I would’ve stopped her from doing what she did. I'm so sorry about your baby's

death, and I'll do m y best to compensate you for what has happened." 1

"Compensate?” I scoffed. "How are you gonna compensate? If I kill Cindy Reed right now, how do

you think I should satisfactorily compensate you?”

Grayson's breath stopped in his throat, anger visibly burning in his eyes.

"If you dare touch Cindy, I will finish you off,” Petra spat viciously.

"You'd better.” I hugged my arms as I looked at her icily. "To have three lives in exchange for mine? I

think my baby would wake himself up with his own laughter in heaven."

"Wanda Lane!" Petra's eyes were immediately bloodshot.

I curled my lips into a smile. "Well then, I'll talk about the compensation I want right now. My son's

life will b e paid for by the life of the child in Cindy's belly.

Whatever has happened to my child will also happen t o hers. If you have no problem with that, let’s

pick out a day and send her child on its way. Then, we’ll call it even, and we'll part our separate

ways from then on. If she really likes Theo Grant so much, she can take him and go. That being

said, I'll still be seen as the one who got the short end of the stick after all of this is done and

dusted, you know?"

"Don't you dare take a yard when we’ve given you an inch!" Grayson could not pretend any longer.
