Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 135 Mortgage Agreement

"Wait a minute." Sadie's expression changed immediately upon hearing the mention of informing the media. "Let's call the police, but why do we need to inform the media?" "Whether I inform the media or not, is my personal choice!" Kathleen retorted coldly. "You..."

Kathleen commanded, "Contact all the popular media outlets in the country and publish the theft information. We'll offer a reward of five million US dollars if someone replaces it and is willing to return it, but if the black market buys it, we will prosecute." "Yes, Mrs. White," the lawyer responded.

"Also, send out the evidentiary photos and videos that were taken just now..."

Upon hearing this, Sadie became extremely worried. If the media are informed, the children's identities will be exposed...

"Let's settle this privately!" Sadie immediately said. "Just tell me what you want!"

"Settle it privately?" Kathleen smirked.

"You should slap yourself two hundred times first!" Leah gritted her teeth and glared at her.

Sadie frowned. She had known all along that this mother-daughter duo was intentionally seeking revenge.

"Leah..." Kathleen looked at her reproachfully. "After all, she is our relative. How can you do this?"

"Mom..."

"Besides, she belongs to Mr. Clemens. We can't afford to offend him." Kathleen looked at Sadie with a smug smile. "Why don't you tell us how to settle privately?"

"I..." Sadie couldn't come up with an answer.

She couldn't afford ten million dollars at all.

"You see, you don't have a solution at all." Kathleen spread her hands, looking helpless. "You refuse to let me call the police or contact the media, and you won't compensate us. You can't just let us lose thirty million dollars for nothing, right? This is unacceptable. Mr. Brooks, Miss Bell, please think about it. Who would treat people like this?"

"Yes, yes..." Mr. Brooks forced a smile and nodded.

Miss Bell was an honest person and whispered, "Since, Mia lost this bracelet. Personally, I think you should compensate them." "Ah, Miss Bell spoke fairly." Kathleen looked aggrieved. "Since you can't provide a solution, we'll have to handle it officially." Saying that, Kathleen stood up...

"Wait a minute." Sadie suddenly thought of something and quickly took it out of her bag. "I'll use this as collateral..."

Kathleen stared at the ruby necklace in Sadie's hand, wrapped in a bunch of tissues without even a box. But even so, the ruby still emitted a dazzling light.

"Isn't this the ruby necklace from the last auction?" Leah's eyes lit up when she saw the ruby necklace. "Could it be fake?"

"Let me see." Kathleen took it and carefully examined it before quickly confirming, "It's real!"

"This ruby necklace is worth one hundred million dollars." Sadie was reluctant. "It's more than enough as collateral for you. I'll get it back when I replace your bracelet." "What if you can't replace it?" Leah questioned. "Then you shall consider this necklace as compensation to me!"

"That's not acceptable. The two items have different values." Sadie became anxious. "If I don't replace it, I will replace a way to compensate you. But I still want to redeem this necklace. You can't lose it." "There has to be a deadline." Kathleen smirked. "Within seven days, if you replace the bracelet, I'll give this back to you."

"And if you can't replace it, you'll receive a compensation of 38 million dollars, which I will return to you. But if you have neither the bracelet nor the compensation, then this necklace will belong to me!" "Well..." Sadie hesitated.

"If you don't agree, I will call the police and contact the media..." Kathleen threatened.

"I agree." Sadie had no room for negotiation.

"Okay, let's sign an agreement, with Mr. Brooks and Miss Bell as witnesses."
