?Chapter 1420:


    “…your family. That should make you give me morepensation. If you keep refusing to give me more money, I’ll expose everything to the public!”


    “What are you panicking about?” Brenna said, her tone calm and steady. “Even if the Harper family owed child support, it wouldn’te close to the outrageous figure you’re demanding. Byw, my father would only need to pay twenty percent of his monthly sry. His ie has been steady over the years—twenty thousand a month. Twenty percent of that is four thousand.” After a brief pause, she continued, “Multiply that across twelve months, and it’s forty-eight thousand a year. Support ends when Sandra turns eighteen. Eighteen years at forty-eight thousandes to a total of eight hundred sixty-four thousand. That’s all thew requires. But since our family is wealthier than most, we’re willing to offer more than that. Exactly how much more depends on my father’s generosity.”


    Shepard gave a nod of approval at Brenna’s reasoning. As Sandra’s father, doing the math himself would have made him look miserly, but through Brenna, it sounded fair.<fn9ffd> Official source is find·novel</fn9ffd>


    “She’s right; we’ll follow the legal standard. Still, because our ie is higher, we’ll add more. We’ll give you an extra ten million,” he said.


    Keira’s eyes widened in shock. “Absolutely not! Shepard, what game are you ying? Don’t forget, you also receive dividends from the Harper Group. Those dividends count as ie, and twenty percent of that shoulde to us, too! Don’t try to trick me.”


    Shepard shook his head firmly. “You’re wrong. The dividends are reflected only in thepany’s ounts. They never enter my personal ount. The only funds deposited into my ount are my sry.”


    Keira’s face went pale with disbelief. “That’s impossible! You’re lying! You just don’t want to pay—I refuse to believe it!”


    Brenna, unfazed, knew it didn’t matter whether Keira believed her or not. The Harper family’s financial system was governed by strict procedures, and no one in the family could alter the records. Even if Keira demanded proof, she would find nothing to support her ims.


    Unbothered, Brenna said, “Since you and your husband did cover Sandra’s college tuition, we’ll add that in, estimated at one million. Altogether, the child supportes to eleven million. We’ll have a check written for you right now.”

    Keira’s voice shook as her confidence crumbled. She hadn’t expected her n to copse sopletely. “It was supposed to be one hundred million! You promised me one hundred million earlier! What is this? Are you backing out now? I’ll expose you for the greedy, heartless people you really are and let the world see how cruel the Harpers can be!”


    Julia stepped forward calmly, tilting her head toward Keira. “Ms. Evans, do you notice what’s pinned to my cor?”


    Until now, Keira had barely noticed Julia, dismissing her as just a servant. But when her eyes finally fell on her, she caught sight of the tiny camera clipped to Julia’s cor, its red light blinking steadily.


    Her stomach dropped. “You’re live-streaming this?” she eximed.


    Rage surged through her veins. So her greed had beenid bare to the entire world? It was exposed that she hadn’te here to prove her daughter’s identity—she hade to extort the Harper family.
