Chapter 364

Now, their daughter was no longer around. She had wanted her to work with powerful people for a
chance to get a high-paying job. Now all they had left of her were empty dreams.

Maisie smiled. “How much do you want as compensation?”

“At least $800,000.”

Cherie almost lost her cool when she saw Mrs. Winters trying to take advantage of the situation
$800,000? She thought that $800 was too much!

Maisie smiled. “Do you plan to come back and ask for more when you’re done spending that?”

Mrs. Winters was stunned, as though Maisie had seen through her plan, and angrily said, “What are you
trying to say? Are you going to give it or not?”

“Cherie, what is the legal term for this?” Maisie didn’t answer her but instead asked the person beside
her.

Cherie picked it up right away. “Extortion. The minimum sentence is three years, but if it’s for an amount
as much as $800,000, I’m guessing maybe 15 years.”

The two old people looked terrified

“How is this extortion? You’re just slandering us!” Mrs. Winters was anxious.

.

Maisie took an agreement out of her bag the file showed that it was from a law firm

YA



“Mrs. Winters, if you would like compensation, let’s do it the lawful way. Based on the law, if Wynona’s
death is my fault, and the court decides that I should compensate you $800,000, I’ll do it without
hesitation. But if the court decides that I’m not related to her death, won’t I have the right to reject your
claims?”

Mrs. Winters was rendered speechless and looked horrified



Maisie calmly continued. “If you think that I’m hiding behind the Goldmanns and bullying you thanks to
Nolan, I’m afraid that Nolan would be the one who would be speaking to you. I’m quite reasonable, so it’s
up to you. I won’t be showing you any empathy because you are Wynona’s parents when I do become
unreasonable. I respect the dead, but you’re the parents and you’re using her death as a reason to extort
me. Do you think I’m easily fooled?”

Mi. Winters was quiet because he didn’t know what to say..

Mrs. Winters stood up angrily. “Don’t even think that you can just brush me off. I’ve had a lot more
experience in life than you do, I’m not going to buy this!”

Maisie stood up and sternly said, “I’m not going to buy this either. It’s been such a long time since
Wynona’s incident, yet you two just came to see me now? If it wasn’t because someone was persuading
you or told you something, why would you urgently come to see me?

“Go tell whoever is behind you not to think of me as dumb as you are. I know very well whether Wynona
took her own life.”

.



Maisie turned to leave, remembered something, and tumed to look at the two old people who were too
stunned to move.

“I’ve recorded our entire conversation. I advise you to keep things to yourself if you don’t want any more
trouble.”

Maisie left with Cherie walking close behind. “Did you really record them?”

Maisie’s lips curled. “I was just bluffing. I didn’t put in that much effort, but they will probably tell the
person about our recording.”

The person instigating them, of cource. Cherie suddenly understood. “Oh, I guess you can scare them a
little?”
