Chapter 2240: The Insatiable Man
Despite Spencer’s calm demeanor and his effort to suppress his aura, the couple was still quite frightened by his presence. Was he here to finish them off? They stared at him, their faces turning pale.
Spencer’s hands hung loosely at his sides, not giving off an air of superiority. He didn’t waste much time and directly stated his purpose, “As long as you agree to break off the engagement and promise not to bother Summer or anyone from the Campell family again, I am willing to cover all of Rupert’s medical expenses.”
Mr. Brightwood and Mrs. Brightwood were shocked by his words! For a moment, they thought they were hearing things. But Spencer waited seriously for their response.
They quickly calmed down and thought it over… Just covering the medical expenses didn’t really solve the problem! Today, Spencer had come to negotiate; he must really love Summer, and he had money!
Mrs. Brightwood gradually collected her thoughts and slowly sat up straight. Although she hadn’t slept all night, she was full of energy now that it was time to negotiate, even putting on a bit of a front.
“We can break off the engagement, but we have one more condition,” Mrs. Brightwood said firmly, staring at him.
Spencer calmly looked down at her, meeting her gaze. His thin lips parted slightly, “Go on.”
“You need to pay off all of Rupert’s debts,” Mrs. Brightwood said bluntly, startling Mr. Brightwood beside her.
Spencer wasn’t shocked or anything; instead, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a slight smile. Mrs. Brightwood watched him with a pounding heart, starting to feel uneasy. What did that smile mean?
Soon, Spencer put away his playful smile. His eyes turned sharp as he looked at Mrs. Brightwood with a hint of coldness.
Facing his gaze, Mrs. Brightwood felt her chest tighten and her heart tremble slightly. Her mind also became much clearer-had she gone too far?
This thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly reassured herself that Spencer had money and cherished Summer; he would probably agree.
Spencer didn’t bother wasting another word with her but had promised Summer he would handle this matter properly.
So he spoke patiently: “I am willing to cover these medical expenses only because of Summer. Do you think you can’t break off the engagement without your consent?”
Hearing this tone, the two elders’ hearts trembled.
Spencer said coldly, “We can sue Rupert. The court will judge fairly; he’s a fraud trying to scam a marriage!”
Hearing this, the two elders panicked!Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“No!” Mrs. Brightwood quickly changed her tune, almost losing her soul from fright. “Don’t sue him! He’s already so injured; please don’t sue him! We agree to break off the engagement. Please cover Rupert’s medical expenses; we promise never to disturb Summer or anyone from the Campell family again!”
Spencer despised them but still handed over a breakup agreement that clearly stated $300, 000 in medical expenses in black and white.
Mrs. Brightwood took it with trembling fingers and then took the pen Spencer handed over, signing her name at the bottom.
“Give it to him,” Spencer said with thin lips.
Mrs. Brightwood handed the agreement and pen to Mr. Brightwood. To save their son, Mr. Brightwood also signed his name; they knew better than anyone that this money was free for them.
Spencer didn’t lack money but wouldn’t pay for Rupert’s debts either. He just wanted to buy some peace with money; as for those debts, they were none of his business!
