Old Mrs. Hale was dumbfounded. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

In this day and age, how many companies have clean taxes?

Letting the tax bureau audit, isn’t this clearly targeting Apex?

Old Mrs. Hale suddenly realized she might have caused trouble for her son’s company.

Earlier, she was so arrogant because she thought Paige Sterling had no backing, so there was no need to be polite to her.

But now there was a bureau chief standing behind Paige, someone the Hale Family could not afford to offend. Even though her granddaughter’s injury made her hate Paige to the extreme, at this time, the interests of the Hale Family were more important, especially her son.

Although unwilling, she had no choice.

Old Mrs. Hale immediately said, "Chief, our Hale Family can let go of the matter of her injuring my granddaughter, but the necessary compensation and apology shouldn’t be omitted, should they, Miss Sterling?"

Paige laughed sneeringly, "Being old isn’t your fault, but becoming shameless with age is, no wonder your granddaughter is the way she is."

At this point, they still wanted an apology and compensation from her?

"There will be no apology, and no compensation. I will sue Miss Hale, and your family will soon have a granddaughter in prison."

Old Mrs. Hale raised her voice, angrily, "How can you be so vicious!"

However, she quickly realized she couldn’t treat Paige this way now.

"So what do you want? You didn’t suffer any loss, while my granddaughter is so badly hurt, can’t we just settle this privately?"

But Paige said, "I can settle privately."

Old Mrs. Hale’s eyes lit up.

Paige said, "Compensate me fifty million, and it’s over."

Hearing the amount, Old Mrs. Hale widened her eyes, "Why don’t you just go rob someone!"

Paige’s attitude was indifferent, "Then let your granddaughter heal well first, and by the time she’s recovered, the court subpoena would probably have arrived."

Old Mrs. Hale gritted her teeth and looked at the chief, Paige was obviously extorting, yet the chief seemed to be on her side.

What else could Old Mrs. Hale do?

As a woman, how could she solve this matter now?

She went aside to call Dad Hale.

Dad Hale, who was abroad, turned green in the face upon hearing the ins and outs from Old Mrs. Hale.

Damn it, he had told her not to mess with Paige Sterling again, yet she went ahead, how foolish could she be?

However, with things already happened, despite being angry, Dad Hale had to find a way to resolve it, "Give the phone to Paige, I’ll talk to her!"

The phone was handed to Paige, and Dad Hale took a deep breath, "Miss Sterling, my daughter she..."

"Fifty million, no nonsense, right now, once the money’s transferred, I’ll let it go, if not, then we proceed legally."

He had seen Paige’s methods once before, he didn’t think for a moment that she was simply threatening him.

He immediately said, "I’ll give you fifty million, but you can’t sue! And you can’t spread this matter."

"Give the money first, once I receive it, I’ll keep my word."

Soon, Dad Hale gritted his teeth and transferred fifty million to Paige.

Phone in hand, she looked at Old Mrs. Hale, "It’s resolved."

Old Mrs. Hale thought of the fifty million gone just like that, and her look towards Paige was vicious enough to rip her apart.

At the same time, Old Mrs. Hale also blamed Helen Hale, for what reason did she provoke Paige?

The last time caused the Hale Family to lose face, and this time was worse, resulting in a loss of fifty million.

Just as Paige was about to leave, Uncle Chambers arrived.

Old Mrs. Hale knew Uncle Chambers and was waiting for him to greet her, considering she was a senior.

But Uncle Chambers acted as if he didn’t see her and walked directly to Paige.

"Paige, are you okay?"

Paige shook her head, "Uncle, I’m fine. Sonny is fine too, don’t worry."

Old Mrs. Hale’s eyes widened; the head of the Chambers Family turned out to be Paige’s uncle! Then who exactly was Paige?

Only then did Uncle Chambers feel relieved. He adjusted his glasses, then approached Old Mrs. Hale, his gaze icy cold.

"Regarding your granddaughter’s kidnapping of my son, I will pursue legal action to hold her responsible."

Old Mrs. Hale, "...!"

Looking at Paige, "Didn’t you agree to settle this matter privately? You’re still going to sue?"

"I said I could settle it privately, but whether my uncle is willing to let his son be wronged, willing to settle privately, is not up to me."

Then she looked at Uncle Chambers, "Uncle, I’ll take Sonny back first."

Although Uncle Chambers looked scholarly, his actions were far from gentle.

Uncle Chambers nodded, "Go ahead."

He glanced at his son, sleeping heavily on the sofa, feeling a bit helpless.

In the past, if anything had happened, Sonny might have cried a lot.

But now he could still sleep well?

Following Paige seemed to have made him bolder.

For boys, being a bit braver is a good thing.

Paige carried Sonny and left.

Sonny was sleeping soundly.

Seeing that he had suffered today, Paige was quite considerate and planned to carry him upstairs when they arrived at Silverstream Bay.

However, just then, a car in the garage hurriedly drove out, and upon passing Paige, stopped abruptly.

Then the car door opened, and Julian Hawthorne, in a black long trench coat, strode over and pulled Paige into his arms.

Paige was taken aback, "What are you sorry for?"

To be honest, she didn’t think today’s matter was a big deal; the only thing that really upset her was Helen Hale kidnapping Sonny.

But luckily, Sonny was okay in the end, and she even extorted fifty million from the Hale Family, which felt pretty good.

Feeling Julian’s body trembling a bit, Paige didn’t immediately move.

Once Julian calmed down, he let her go.

His eyes looked directly at her, "Why didn’t you tell me immediately?"

Julian interrupted her, "I know you can handle it, but I’m your husband; I have a right to know when something happens! And should face it with you, not let you handle it alone."

Paige had gotten into trouble at noon, but it was only now that he found out.

Seeing Julian , Paige realized she might have been wrong.

She had always handled troubles on her own and was used to it. Suddenly having Julian in her life, she found it difficult to adapt.

Paige admitted her mistake, "Sorry, I made you worry, it won’t happen again."

Julian was still upset but with Paige sincerely apologizing, and considering all she’d been through today, he couldn’t bear to blame her.

Paige nodded, as Julian held her and headed towards the elevator.

In the car, already awake but pretending to be asleep, Sonny Chambers opened his eyes helplessly, "Did you forget something?"
