"Is this how you fix things? What a coward!" Amaya ridiculed.

Mrs. Ford paled even more.

"Mrs. Anderson, please don't mind it; my son is ignorant. On behalf of the Ford Family, I'll do my utmost to make it up for Miss Anderson." Mrs. Ford continued.

"Make it up? How? Your son ruins Eliza's reputation. Can you restore it for her?" Amaya said unrelentingly.

"Miss Anderson can marry into our family, and we can announce to the public that our kids are in love. Such a thing happened because the young couple quarreled and got drunk. How about this plan?" Mrs. Ford said sincerely.

Speaking of status, the Fords were only inferior to top families like the Hayes, the Ingrams, the Robbins, and the Ortegas. In Sea City, they had a solid foundation. Be it assets or status; they were much superior to the Andersons. Eliza would marry into a richer family.

Mrs. Ford's sincerity showed how much she wanted to take responsibility.

If this happened yesterday, Amaya might have agreed. Today? It was a different story.

Amaya snorted and patted a gift box on the table.

"Mrs. Ford, do you know whose gift this is?"

Mrs. Ford looked over at the box placed at the most conspicuous spot in the hall. She certainly knew it was from the Hayes.

"Mrs. Ford, don't blame me for my blunt speech, but you should know your son well. Do you think he deserves Eliza? Although you have more fortune than us, it is different now. You see, the Torres are our in-laws, the Hayes get along with us, and Eliza is dating Mr. Hayes. Marrying your son?" Amaya crowed.

Mrs. Ford paled as she hadn't expected a romantic relationship between Eliza and Mr. Hayes. No wonder he presented the gift in person today.

"Mrs. Anderson, what do you think we should fix this?" Mrs. Ford was at the end of her means.

"Five million yuan for the mental damage...."

"Five million?" The outrageous request angered Mrs. Ford.

"Too much? If the Hayes Family learns about this and Mr. Hayes gets angry, what do you think will happen to your family?" Amaya adorned herself with borrowed plumes.

"Fine, five million yuan, we'll give you." Mrs. Ford gritted her teeth and agreed.

How would they dare to offend the overlord of Sea City!

"On top of that, you should make an official apology to Eliza in the newspaper and make Joshua admit that lust drove him to molest Eliza. Without choice, she fought desperately and knocked him out!" Amaya added.

"Well..."

"Mrs. Ford, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem, we'll do it!" In the end, she had to nod her consent.

Mrs. Ford left with a wry face, and Amaya went to the study. William and Jack were both there.

"Dad, all settled, the Fords are willing to compensate us five million yuan and apologize to Eliza in the newspaper," Amaya claimed.

As soon as money was mentioned, Jack's eyes glittered. This was working cash for their company and extra fortune for himself.

In an old chair, the senile William still looked sullen.

"What was Eliza thinking? Did she really call that boy?"

"Dad, no, I've just asked Eliza." Amaya immediately stepped up to explain, "Speaking of which, it was Hailey who started it."
