Chapter 124 A Billion–Dollar–Settlement
Richard and Grace went up to the hospital rooftop.
“What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Quine Senior? If it’s about Yvonne’s miscarriage, then I think there’s nothing to say.”
Richard looked at her sharply before saying seriously, “I’ve sent my men to check the security footage at the bar.
“The scene at the time wasn’t captured on camera. If Yvonne insists that you’re the culprit, do you think you can get away with it?”
Grace smiled.
“The truth is the truth. Mr. Quine Senior, it seems like you still have the authority to make things happen your way.” There was a trace of mockery in her tone.
Richard said immediately, “The Lewis family might be the most powerful in Frenda. But in Pamore, if the Quines really want to do something, it will be done!
“But I didn’t come here today to fall out with you, Ms. Lewis. I want to take this chance to agree on a settlement. Right now, it doesn’t look good for anyone, and it won’t benefit either of us.”
Grace raised her eyebrows and asked, “What kind of settlement are you thinking of, Mr. Quine
Senior?”
“One billion dollars! Let’s just settle the incident with that, and we won’t press charges
against you.”
One billion dollars? Richard really was shameless!
“Mr. Quine Senior, I’m afraid that that would be equal to daylight robbery. Or are you trying to say that Quine Group is now past its heyday and needs money to fill in the gaps?”
Grace exposed him ruthlessly.
Richard continued boasting, “One billion dollars would only cover the loss of my thumb ring.”
“Oh!
“Oh!” Grace spread her hands.
“Well, be that as it may, it’s impossible for us to settle. After all, I am determined to make Yvonne rot in jail.”
Grace had made her stance clear.

“Grandfather, tell me what I should do!”
An idea had already formed in Richard’s mind.
That afternoon, when the police came again, Yvonne insisted that she had miscarried because Grace pushed her.
Somehow, the tabloids caught wind of this incident and posted it online. In a short amount of time, it became the top trending topic.
“Oh my! Is the heiress of the Lewis family that fierce? She got rid of the mistress’s child!”
“That’s a human life! Although homewreckers are vile, children are innocent. How could the heiress of the Lewis family do that?”
“Every life has a price. Even though it was just an embryo, this was a terrible incident. The heiress of the Lewis family will pay the price for her actions.”
“What kind of morals do you all have? Homewreckers should be cursed, and their children don’t deserve to exist in this world! The heiress of the Lewis family did a good job!”
All kinds of comments about this incident continued to accumulate online.
