Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 151 Sign Your Name, Press Your Fingerprint
"What do you think?" Micah pinched her chin, lifting her face to meet his icy gaze, "No one has ever dared to re-gift something of mine, you're the first!" "It's not like that, I..." Sadie began to explain, but found herself at a loss for words.
"It seems you're in a difficult position," Micah said mockingly with a cold laugh, "So how do you plan to settle this with me?"
"I'm sorry..." Sadie bowed her head in apology, "By all accounts, I should compensate you, but it's a hundred million dollars. Even if I sold myself, I couldn't cover the debt..." "Fine, we'll do as you say!" Micah cut her off and returned to his seat, picking up a pen and paper and began writing something.
Sadie was dumbfounded. "What are you doing?"
"You said it, sell yourself to cover the debt." Micah quickly drafted a simple debt settlement agreement and handed it to her, "Sign here, and press your fingerprint." Taking the document, Sadie was utterly flabbergasted.
Debt Settlement Agreement: Sadie owes Micah one hundred million dollars; deducting a bonus of two million, she owes ninety-eight million. She voluntarily pledges herself as collateral to Micah, henceforth to follow his commands and be at his beck and call...
"Either pay me the ninety-eight million dollars now, return the ruby necklace, or sign this debt settlement agreement. The choice is yours!"
Micah tapped the agreement with the tip of his pen as if he were a judge pronouncing her fate.
Sadie felt thunderstruck, the world spinning around her; she was on the verge of fainting.
How could she have forgotten the devil's true nature - relentless and merciless!
She had actually dared to provoke him?
She must have a death wish?
"Hm?" Micah's patience was eroding by the second.
Countless possible responses flashed through Sadie's mind like a torrent. Quickly, she chose the most straightforward and forceful one: "This necklace was a gift from you, witnessed by many. Since it's mine, I can do with it as I please. What right do you have to ask for compensation? Even if we go through legal proceedings, you won't have a leg to stand on."
"Very good." Micah's lips curled into a smirk, "You're talking to me about the law?"
"That's... that's just the way it is..." Sadie feigned calm.
"I did indeed give it to you, but you returned it to me," Micah stated as if reasoning with her, "Since you returned it, it isn't yours. What I do with it is my business. But you went and picked it up again, and without my permission, you gave it away to someone else..."
At this point, he called Andrew, "Bring the lawyer in."
"Wait, hold on." Sadie panicked immediately, "Mr. Clemens, we can work this out."
"Weren't you all high and mighty just a moment ago?" Micah raised an eyebrow.
"I don't understand..." Sadie's knees weakened, fighting back tears, "A necklace worth a hundred million dollars, and you just toss it aside like it means nothing. Why are you demanding compensation from me?"
"I can afford to gift you a necklace worth a hundred million dollars, and I can afford to throw it away. But I will not tolerate it around another woman's neck-it's an affront to me!" Micah warned, "You must pay for your foolish actions!" Sadie fell silent, realizing she had underestimated his need for control-and overestimated Leah's intellect!
That foolish woman had actually paraded around with the ruby necklace, endangering not only herself but Sadie too.
"I don't have the patience to drag this out," Micah glanced at his watch, "If you don't sign now, I'll have my lawyers handle it."
"I..." Sadie panicked, and after a moment of thought, she ventured, "Could you give me some time to return the necklace to you?" "Alright, I'll give you one chance," Micah nodded agreeably, "Name the time."
