Chapter 187 Fifty Thousand and Not A Penny Less.
“But if we report this to the police, their reputations would be ruined. How about we settle this privately?”
Damien chuckled. His deep voice, a pleasant rumble. “How do you propose to do that?”
“By not calling the police, the two of you discuss the best way to resolve this.”
The village chief sighed exasperatedly, “Thankfully, everyone here is friendly and familiar with each other…”
“No one is allowed to spread news of anything that has happened here tonight. Do you hear me?!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Damien smiled faintly. “It looks to me like you’ve already come up with a solution. Am J right?”
He was addressing Vivian and Ben.
The father-daughter duo exchanged glances before thrusting his hand palm up towards Damien. “Fifty thousand!”
Ben looked down haughtily at Damien. “As compensation for my daughter’s emotional distress, as well as… The damage to her reputation. That makes it fifty thousand!”
During the afternoon, Ben had sent people to look into Damien’s car and found out it cost. several million.
Fifty thousand was nothing compared to that.
“The both of you!”
Cherise finally understood this entire thing had been set up to extort Damien for hist money!
“My husband will not give you any money!”
“Then let’s call the police. We’ll let the police handle this!”
“Cherise.”
Damien held her back. “You claimed I raped Vivian and want fifty thousand as compensation.” Said Damien in a calm, indifferent voice.

“So if I provide proof that I did not rape Vivian… Will you also compensate me fifty. thousand?”
Damien stretched his arms over his head lazily. “After all, being accused by all of you. doesn’t exactly feel pleasant.”
Ben froze. He turned to Vivian,
Vivian frowned. Proof?
What proof could he possibly have?
He’s blind. How could he provide any evidence if he couldn’t see anything?
“Fine!”
Ben sneered. “But if you don’t have proof. Fifty thousand and not a penny less!”
Damien smiled calmly. “Sure.”
Cherise frowned. Gripping his hand tightly, she pleaded, “Damien…”
This was so methodically planned out, there was no way they would give him a chance to provide proof.
Damien’s words left them in a bind. Even without evidence, he will have to give them fifty. thousand!
Fifty thousand!
Just the thought of that amount of money made Cherise wince!
Her grandmother’s treatment only cost sixty thousand.
That meant Damien only received sixty thousand as dowry when they got married.
And now, because of these people’s trap. Damien will have to give them fifty thousand!
It wasn’t worth it!
Damien smiled and k*ssed Cherise’s cheek. “Trust me.”
“Show me the proof you claim to have!”
Ben rolled his eyes and crossed his arms arrogantly.

Damien chuckled. “I’ve never been somewhere this isolated before, so I’m not too sure if any of you are familiar with a mobile phone?”
Ben sneered and retrieved a phone from his pocket. “Everyone has it.”
“Don’t think we’re cut off from the world just because we’re from the countryside.”
“Alright then.”
Damien yawned and leaned more comfortably against the wall. “Show yourself, Blake!”
“Okay.”
The masculine voice of a young man was heard, followed by the closet door swinging open. –
A young man dressed in a blue tracksuit emerged from the closet. “It was so cramped in there!”
Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment. Someone was hiding in the closet?!
Vivian was more shocked than any of them.
