My Card, My Terms Chapter 7
The other victim's parents, who had been watching from the sidelines the entire time, walked over to me with tears streaming down their faces. They could barely get the words out through their tears."You're our savior! Without you, people like us would've had nowhere to turn!""We can finally see that monster get what he deserves. Thank goodness!"I took their hands and steadied them. "I'm in the same boat as you. And don't worry, the medical bills for all the children have already been taken care of, including their follow-up treatment. All that matters now is that the kids recover and stay healthy."With things wrapping up, my assistant asked what to do with the ten million. There was no way I was leaving it for Regina. Her son's life wasn't worth that much.I pulled a single stack of bills from one of the cases, maybe around ten thousand dollars, and walked over to where Preston lay crumpled on the floor. Regina was kneeling beside him, crying.I looked down at the two of the

Regina seemed to piece it together, but she shook her head frantically. "That's impossible. I can't be the other woman. You are!"She jabbed her finger at me. "You're the one who seduced Dominic! You're the mistress, and Aubrey is the bastard child!"I'll rip that pretty little mask right off your face, you homewrecking tramp! A woman your age throwing herself at married men!"Dominic caught Regina's outstretched hand and slowly pushed it down. "That's enough, Regina. You're the one I've been keeping on the side. Preston is my illegitimate son."The moment those words left his mouth, the entire room shattered. William, the other victim's parents, the teachers, and the principal—every single person looked like their understanding of reality had just been ripped apart and thrown on the floor.So the woman who'd been strutting around flaunting her wealth and status and the son she'd been so fiercely protecting were the dirty secret all along."This is insane. The illegitimate son pu

William choked on his words for a second, then recovered. "That's not how this works. You might have money, but ten million dollars is nothing compared to the power Crestborne Group holds."Do you even know that Preston is the son of Crestborne Group's CEO? And when it comes to legal expertise, you won't find anyone better than me."He said it with the kind of ironclad confidence that made it clear he fully expected me to put the bat down and negotiate after hearing him out.But all I said was, "Do you even know who I am?"William frowned. "It doesn't matter who you are. Nobody in Bayport outranks Crestborne Group. If you don't stop now, you're digging your own grave, and nobody alive will be able to save you."Regina pointed at me, her face contorted with venom. "If you don't stop right now, I'll have my husband chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"My voice was flat and emotionless. "Tell him to go ahead."A cool, commanding male voice drifted in from the doorway. "I hear som

Everyone in the room froze, completely blindsided."How can there be that much money?""Oh my god, I couldn't earn that much in my entire life."Regina stumbled back a step in shock, but then her face lit up, and she turned to the man leading the group. "Dominic must have sent you to deliver this for me. There's no need anymore. Since these lowlifes refuse to sign no matter what, it saves us the payout. Just use the money to buy a villa or something."But the man in black kept his expression stone-cold, turned to me, and addressed me with a respectful nod. "The cash you requested is all here, ma'am."I nodded, then looked at Regina, whose jaw had dropped open all over again, and hit play on the recording I'd just made.Then I said coldly, "There's ten million right here. Per our agreement, I'm buying your son's life."The entire room sucked in a collective breath, too stunned to speak.Regina lurched back several steps and stared up at me, wild-eyed. She screamed, "That's impos

Regina swiped again. The machine's flat electronic voice repeated itself. "Your card has been declined.""How is that possible?"Regina's eyes went wide with shock. The couple glanced at me, grateful. "Thank you for stopping us. If it weren't for you, we would've gotten nothing and let that animal walk free."Humiliated, Regina raked her fingers through her hair in frustration and called Dominic. A young man's voice came through from the other end."Mom, aren't you done yet? Dad and I are waiting for you so we can go to that new five-star restaurant, and you're taking forever. What, are those broke people trying to shake you down? God, they really jumped on the chance, didn't they?""Put your father on the phone."Then I heard the voice I knew by heart, the same voice that had said good morning to me every day for the past 20 years.My fists clenched so tightly that my nails bit into my palms, and something inside me shattered. I was going to drag that cheating bastard, his whor

Regina's expression flickered with surprise for a second before she laughed out loud."I know you're upset about your daughter getting hurt, but throwing a tantrum isn't going to solve your family's problems. Besides, how much money could you possibly have?"I just stared at her, my eyes dark. "Name your number."The surprise on her face deepened, then shifted to something like understanding. "Oh, so you think the offer's too low. Fine, three million. Any more than that and your daughter simply isn't worth it."I repeated myself. "I said I want to buy your son's life. Name your price."She looked me up and down, then doubled over laughing like I'd told the funniest joke she'd ever heard. "Ten million. If you can come up with ten million dollars, my son's life is yours. But people like you couldn't possibly scrape together that kind of money in this lifetime or the next."I nodded. "Ten million is a bit steep for a worthless piece of trash like him, but I'll take it. His life is m
