Behind The Spotlight Chapter 194
"Thank you, Collin. They didn't trouble you too much, right?" Princess Chantal thanked Collin over the phone. She had been trying to avoid the topic because it made her uncomfortable, but she decided to hear about it to confront reality.
"Everything's alright. You don't have to worry. If they try to trouble you or cause problems, I'll make sure they suffer the consequences. They already signed the contract; they are legally bound," Collin assured her confidently.
The two were talking on the phone. Princess Chantal was currently in Italy, preparing for her next concert, surrounded by staff.
"Thank you," Princess Chantal sighed in relief. She had trauma related to her family and was afraid to meet them. The scars had never truly healed. However, she couldn't deny that her parents had made sure she survived until she reached legal age. She admitted that she had to return the favor, at least materially.
She thought her parents would ask for something extravagant, and she didn't know how to deny them. Her parents would 100% guilt-trip her and convince her that she should give them money.
In fact, she was already prepared to spend $1 million monthly just to shut them up, considering it a necessary loss. She had even talked to Collin about it. As long as her parents wouldn't trouble her or affect her career, she was prepared to spend millions for peace of mind. Even for someone who earned over $100 million last year, Princess Chantal found it hard to part with $1 million per month. After all, she worked hard to earn that money. It was hard-earned. She didn't steal it, every cent was earned through work... Unlike politicians who embezzled government funds.
It didn't help that she felt no love toward the family who had kicked her out, so spending money on them was extremely difficult to accept.
However, she had a talented agent who handled the negotiation perfectly and exceeded her expectations. Instead of spending $1 million, he lowered it to $220,000 per month, a drastic reduction. That was an acceptable amount and made Princess Chantal deeply grateful. As much as she wanted to repay them, she didn't want to be sucked dry.
