Chapter 141 – Don’t be like this
Agnes thought that by being of good behavior, she would be forgiven and all the money she lost would be reversed, but it turned out that whatever would be paid would only begin from where the change becomes visible.
In this case, pretending would not help matters as much as she wanted it to. She would have to give up trying to make things difficult for Alex and his wife.
However, she still felt a need for Alex to be lenient with her, at least for the first part as a warning since Alex had only recently been sworn into office but was hit harshly by Alex’s reason for making the consideration.
"The maid you bribed drugged a woman, so where do you want me to cough up money to compensate her? You are lucky I refrained from touching your husband’s allowances."
In other words, all the money gathered during her probation period would be used as compensation, hence the reason for the non-refundable policy Alex talked about.
"Alex, please do something. Don’t be like this." Agnes could not believe she was at the mercy of a man young enough to be her son.
How could things turn out like this? Sadly, Logan was also not in his right mind and would not be able to help her in any way.
"You brought it upon yourself. Every action has a consequence, so you should be ashamed to beg me to consider when your intention was to destroy my marriage. If you want, then why don’t I destroy your marriage too? That way, we shall be even, and I won’t take a dime from you," Alex proposed, but Agnes was too smart to accept.
If she left her husband, she would lose everything, including all the huge allowances she received merely by being married to a member of the King’s family.
As such, it was better for her to sacrifice this money and gain more in the future than hold on to what she just lost and rather lose everything in the future.
Agnes ended the call, her gaze dark, but sadly, there was no solution to her problem unless she went by Alex’s rules.
