My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols

Chapter 90 Huge Compensation

Lorenz was very handsome. In the past Cherry might have been as shy as her friends behind her, but

now she could care for nothing, and she turned pale.

“Lorenz…” Cherry shouted, pointing to the fragments of the collection on the ground, and said, “I didn’t

mean to smash your exhibits. I was thinking of something just now. These people spoke out, and I was

taken aback, and my bag touched this exhibit, so…”

She explained in a hurry. Her face was pale, and she looked at him. “Cousin… Can you please forgive

me for Cynthia’s sake? My parents will kill me if they know that I have caused trouble.”

Lorenz looked at her who was pretending to be piteous with a blank expression and a sneer. “Cousin?

The Millers are interesting: The older ones long for the upper circles, and the younger ones are eager

to recognize relatives. I am Cynthia’s cousin, not yours. Cherry, don’t make a mistake.”

“I’m sorry.” Cherry looked ashamed when he talked back but still said, “They said they want me to pay

28 million in compensation. Is it worth all that money? I am not uninformed, but I have never heard of

such a thing. I’m afraid I have been taken advantage of!”

Lorenz looked at her dissatisfied face, raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of porcelain from the

ground, looked at it, and showed regret. “The Green family just moved to Fort, and the curator asked

me to borrow it for today’s art exhibition. As a show of sincerity, I took out the most expensive collection

I brought from Coast City. They didn’t blackmail you.”

Cherry’s complexion changed. Her fingers trembled. She thought, “The Green family had a great

heritage in Coast City, and the most expensive collection of Lorenz might be worth 28 million dollars.”

“This blue–and–white porcelain is very ancient and precious. My father bought it at an auction back

then. It cost 14 million pounds, plus commission, which is equivalent to 32 million dollars. It is worth far

more than 28 million, but they are asking you for less than that. After all, the longer the collection, the

higher the value, and now it is more than that price.”

After Lorenz had finished, Cherry felt dizzy. Her legs gave way and she almost fell but was supported

by a friend behind her. “You have to stand still.”

Cherry supported herself and stood up. Cold sweat broke out on her head.

As if Lorenz didn’t see it, he took out the appraisal certificate in his hand. “Here. This is the appraisal

given by the auction house at the time of the auction, as well as the transaction records. We should

discuss the issue

of compensation next.”

“28 million, I don’t have 28 million. You also understand the situation of the Miller family.” Cherry looked

down

and bit her lower lip. “I can’t afford it.”

“Can’t afford it!” Lorenz even put away the sneer on his face. “Since you can’t afford it, let’s go to the

Miller family to discuss it with your parents.”

“No!” Cherry cried out in horror. “You can’t go to my parents.”

She thought, “Now that my family is in such a state of chaos. If they knew that, they would cut the ties

with

me. Even if they don’t, the Miller family won’t be able to get the money out.”

Cherry was a little panicked. “You… Can you give me some time? I… I will find a way.”

“It’s not that I doubt you.” Lorenz interrupted her. “Even if I give you time, where did you get the

money? As far as I know, the liquidated damages paid by Miller Group already empty your pockets.

How many years it will take for you alone to get 28 million.”

Cherry was silent when she heard that and thought, “No one is willing to lend me money. No matter

how much time Lorenz gave me, I couldn’t get the money.”

Lorenz felt a little impatient at her silence. “The Green family just came to Fort, and we have a lot of

things to deal with, so I won’t waste time with you. If you can compensate, you can pay as soon as

possible. If you

can’t, 28 million can make you stay in prison forever.”

“No!” Cherry looked up in horror. “I don’t want to go to jail. I’ll find a way. Please give me a chance.”

She thought, “Ivan’s imprisonment has already been embarrassing in the circle. If I also go to prison, I

will be

ashamed.”

Lorenz frowned and looked at her embarrassment. After a long time, he smiled. “By the way, there is

another

way. You can exchange something of the same value.”

Cherry was stunned and thought, “Something worth 28 million dollars? How could I have that thing?”

“I… I don’t…” She shook her head in panic, and the friend behind her pulled her.

Cherry turned around. That girl was Dave’s younger sister, Tina Clinton.

Tina took out her cell phone and showed her the text message Dave had sent her. “My brother just sent

me a

message saying that Smith Group asks Miller Group for liquidated damages. Miller Group had to give

10% of

their shares to counteract 14 million.”

When Cherry saw that message, her eyes lit up. She thought, “Right! I still have shared.”

She looked at the impatient Lorenz with bright eyes, and her voice was still trembling with excitement.

“I still

have shares in Miller Group. 20% of the shares should be enough for 28 million.”

“Miller Group’s shares?” Lorenz smiled. “What do I want Miller Group’s shares for? What is the value of

20% of

your shares in the current Miller Group?”

Cherry was in a hurry, and the sweat was dripping from the tip of her nose. “My father used 10% of the

shares.

this morning to offset Smith Group’s 14 million liquidated damages. My 20% shares will be worth 28

million.”

Being begged by her all the time, Lorenz agreed. “Okay, I have other things to do, and I won’t waste

time with

you for a little money.”

She thought, “A little money?!”

Cherry was aggrieved and thought, “In his eyes, 28 million was nothing at all, but to me and to the

Miller family, it is everything.”

Lorenz made a phone call, and the Green family’s lawyer prepared the equity transfer contract and

brought it over. After Cherry signed and stamped it, the equity transfer contract came into effect.

By the time Cherry signed, she was in such a mess that she was in no mood to stay there. She said

goodbye to a few friends behind her and went home.

Holding the contract, Lorenz smiled and said, “It’s almost Cynthia’s birthday. She must like this gift very

much.”

Cherry returned home in a daze and met two pairs of eyes as soon as she entered the door. Beck’s

eyes were

full of anxiety. When he saw her enter the door, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over. “You are back.”

He was too enthusiastic. Cherry just signed the equity transfer contract without notifying him in private.

She was too ashamed to look at him.

Just as she was about to return to the room, she heard Beck’s flattering voice. “Will you help me do

something?”

“What’s the matter?” she asked.

Beck hesitated for a moment, and then said, “How about you transfer your 20% shares to me? Anyway,

Miller Group will be yours in the future, and when I get old, I’ll leave all the shares in my hand to you…”

He laughed, but Cherry felt cold, and her fingers were stiff. She thought, “How could it be such a

coincidence that my father asked me for it just after I transferred the shares.”

Cherry didn’t even dare to turn her head. With her back to Beck, she winked at Jane as best she could,

her

face was full of anxiety.

Jane noticed that. Although she was afraid of Beck, Cherry was her only daughter. She still bit the

bullet and

said, “Although you gave 10% of the shares to Smith Group, you are still the one in Miller Group with

the most. shares. In fact, there is no need for Cherry to give up her shares to you. Cherry will always be

on your side, and Cherry will support you no matter what you do.”

“That’s right,” Cherry smiled, and said to Beck, “You are my father. I will always be on your side.”

Beck reprimanded Jane. “What do you know!”

He was scared of being calculated, and he didn’t trust anyone, even his own daughter.

Beck looked at Cherry’s stiff expression. “Cherry, are you not willing to transfer the shares to me?”
