Chapter 17 From Today On , We're Done Chapter 17 From Today On , We're Done Renee glared at Caroline with venom , teeth clenched tight . +5 Free Coins Caroline did not even bother to acknowledge her , instead turning to Patricia . " I want the shares and funds my parents left me ! I'm breaking off the engagement - I want nothing more to do with Jonathan , that lying , cheating scumbag ! " Otherwise , what I have here will ruin the Lowlands s completely ." Patricia was just one step in her plan . First reason , then force - that was Caroline's style . " You dare ask for fund shares ? Those belong to the Lowlands ! " Jonathan suddenly shouted , no longer caring about the humiliation of the scene . He lunged at Caroline , trying to snatch the camera from her hand . However , Caroline had not been training for nothing lately . Jonathan was nothing but a weak , pretty boy , so he was not worth a second thought She dodged and kicked him square in the knee , forcing him to fall right in front of Patricia . The problem was that Jonathan was not wearing anything . To fall like that before Patricia , and right in front of Renee as well was beyond embarrassing . Renee let out a sharp scream , covering her face as she ran out . Watching the ridiculous scene , Caroline thought Jonathan was nothing but a fool with no backbone . What a disgrace . Patricia's hands trembled with rage as she pointed at Caroline . " Caroline , what exactly do you want ? " 1 Caroline curled her lip . Was the old woman deaf ? Hadn't she just said what she wanted ? So Caroline repeated herself . Patricia glared at her , anger plain on her face , but Caroline could tell she was hesitating . " Mrs. Lowland , you know as well as I do this isn't going to end quietly . Your grandson's heart was never with me , and forced marriages never end well . Plus , I have evidence that could destroy your family's reputation . Do you really want mutual destruction ? This footage is backed up online . Even if you destroy this device , you can't stop me . All you'll do is make me your enemy . " Caroline did not bother dragging it out anymore as she laid all her cards on the table . Jonathan scrambled to the side to put on clothes , his shame written all over his face . Patricia finally said , " I'm afraid we can't give you all the shares . The Lowlands put years of effort into managing them . " " I know . Give me 20 million , and we'll call it settled . " Those shares and funds were worth at least 30 million . By asking for 20 , Caroline was already giving them the better deal . And besides , shares took time to cash out . They were not about to hand them over so easily . Better to part with 20 million in cash and stockpile supplies . Sure enough , both Patricia and Jonathan showed relief . Transfer it right now . Don't make me regret this . Don't tell me the Lowlands can't even produce 20 million " Caroline's tone was ice - cold , every word deliberate . 1/2 p p . Chapter 17 From Today On , We're Done Patricia's gaze was sharp . " And if you take the money but still release the footage ? " " We'll put it in writing . I can even film myself giving you my word . If I leak anything , you'll have proof to hold me accountable , even throw me in prison . " And just like that , Caroline's engagement to the Lowlands was officially over . A few phone calls later , 20 million landed in her account . She signed the agreement , smashed the device in front of Jonathan and Renee , and deleted the cloud backup . Everyone looked pleased . " From today on , we're done . Don't ever come bothering me again ." Caroline tossed the words coldly over her shoulder before walking out . On her way out , she noticed the faint smirks still on their faces . They thought they had scored a bargain since the shares and funds now fully belonged to them . However , they had no idea that in a few months , that money would be nothing but waste paper . As for the keepsake they had once given Caroline ? Nobody asked for it back . After all , it originally belonged to the Sinclairs . And they had assumed it was not worth much . No matter. At last , Caroline was completely free of the Lowlands . Just outside , she spotted Zoe poking her head around . Caroline walked over and told her everything was settled . Zoe rolled her eyes . " You owe me one . " +5 Free Coins Caroline nodded . When the apocalypse came , she would make sure to warn Zoe , as that would be her way of repaying the debt . With the matter finished and the money in hand , Caroline felt a rush of satisfaction . She immediately called up a pharmaceutical rep she knew . Medicine was always costly . Now that she had 20 million , she did not hold back when she was going over the list with the rep and buying more than two million worth of supplies in one go .
