Chapter 63
"As for material compensation, we won't ask for much. Just five million."
The police and onlookers all instantly widened their eyes, stunned into silence.
She said she wasn't asking for much, yet the moment she opened her mouth; it was five million she requested! She really had some nerve.
Sure enough, before Alexander could say a word, Calvin had already jumped up: "Five million? Charlotte, have you completely lost your mind!"
Charlotte didn't even bother to look at him. Her eyes stayed locked on Alexander. "You know about Oliver's medical skills."
"Every day, countless people come to see him."
"But today, after all this trouble you've caused, not only has his reputation been seriously damaged, but the clinic's future business will be seriously affected too."
At this point, Charlotte deliberately paused, then turned to face the crowd gathered outside the door.
"What do you all think? Is five million too much?"
The onlookers were just ordinary people who naturally harbored some resentment toward the wealthy, so they immediately responded in unison, "Not too much."
Charlotte smiled and turned back. "Mr. Forbes, what do you think?"
A vein throbbed at Alexander's temple. "Fine, five million."
"Alexander, you can't..."
Calvin panicked and was about to protest when Sabrina secretly tugged at his sleeve: "Calvin, don't rush. Let's hear what Alexander has to say first."
Actually, Sabrina also felt bad about the five million.
Although this amount of money meant nothing to Alexander, she just didn't want Charlotte to benefit from it.
After all, if she married into the Forbes Family in the future, everything of Alexander's would be hers.
However, to get Charlotte to step aside quickly, this money could be considered charity for her.
Charlotte caught their little exchange and a mocking smile crossed her lips: "Good, Mr. Forbes is straightforward."
After sarcastically praising Alexander, Charlotte added, "As for emotional compensation... I'll have to trouble the three of you to apologize to Dr. Smith again."
This time Calvin couldn't hold back. "Charlotte, don't push your luck! You want me to apologize? Dream on!"
Charlotte shot him a cold glance: "Dr. Smith has spent his whole life healing people and doing good deeds, and his reputation was almost ruined by you. Isn't an apology appropriate? Even children understand this."
After a pause, Charlotte added: "Oh, I almost forgot—Mr. Wallace, your upbringing has never been very good..."
Calvin was so angry he almost jumped up: "Charlotte!"
The next moment, his shoulder was pressed down hard by Alexander: "Fine, we agree."
Charlotte smiled and slowly gave the grim-faced Alexander a thumbs up: "Worthy of Mr. Forbes indeed."
"Officer, write it down."
The officer had just responded when Alexander suddenly added: "How about we also include the divorce terms we discussed before."
Calvin's letter of understanding, and Cynthia's medicine.
As expected of Alexander—even now he hadn't forgotten to protect his own interests.
However, compared to the divorce, these demands were nothing.
"Fine."
At this moment, Oliver, who had been watching the show with Landon, suddenly spoke up: "Isn't this getting too big?"
Landon's attractive eyes narrowed slightly: "The bigger, the better."
Oliver glanced at him knowingly: "You little devil."
Landon smiled, but his gaze never left Charlotte.
The mediation agreement was quickly written up.
Alexander also readily transferred five million to Oliver on the spot.
Charlotte didn't hesitate either and immediately wrote the letter of understanding for Sabrina.
However, Charlotte insisted on waiting until after the divorce agreement was signed before giving Calvin's letter of understanding and the medicine.
Alexander reluctantly agreed, but in return, he also demanded that the hundred million in the divorce agreement would only be transferred when they officially received the divorce certificate.
Charlotte agreed.
Next, all that remained was for Alexander and the other two to apologize in person to Oliver and Charlotte, and then both parties could sign the mediation agreement.
But at this moment, Alexander hesitated.
The Forbes Family, as one of River City's top families, had existed for decades.
So Alexander had always been high and mighty, living in luxury.
But now, he had to bow and apologize in public to his wife and an unknown old doctor... If word got out, how could he maintain his standing in River City and the business world?
Having taken care of him wholeheartedly for seven years, Charlotte understood what he was thinking the moment he frowned.
But when people do wrong, how can they not pay a price?
"So she interrupted his thoughts. "Mr. Forbes, an apology should be made with the proper attitude.""
"These were clearly the words he had used when forcing Charlotte to apologize earlier, and now they had come back to hit him like a boomerang."
He couldn't help but shoot Charlotte a cold look, only to see her smiling brightly, waving the agreement she had written but not yet signed...
For some reason, Alexander suddenly felt something gently strike his heart.
In seven years of marriage, his memories were filled with Charlotte wearing worn house clothes, bustling around taking care of him and their son.
"He had almost forgotten that Charlotte had once been so vibrant."
Seeing Alexander staring at Charlotte in a daze, Sabrina had a bad feeling.
No, they were finally about to get divorced—nothing could go wrong now.
Gritting her teeth, Sabrina threw herself down with a thud, falling heavily to the ground.
