Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 437: She shot back, "I don't believe you'd let Lamont go to jail." Greyson fixed his steely gaze upon her. His eyes flicked to Lamont, cowering and uncertain, before he uttered icily, "You're right. I've never considered you family. Nor do I consider him my father. How could I? He abandoned my mother. I wish he'd be expelled from the Harman family, too. Care to test that?" Rachel's eyes blazed with anger, but she knew deep down that she was no match for Greyson. She had pocketed a substantial sum back then. However, she never expected Greyson would figure it out.

If he blew the whistle, she'd gain nothing. Her weakness was firmly in Greyson's grasp. "Two hundred million isn't enough. I want five hundred million!" Rachel demanded, driven by desperation. She had been with the Harman family for eighteen years and had served them diligently. Greyson countered, "Three hundred million, tops. Also, you need to clarify the truth about Corrine transferring five million dollars to you for debt payment. Write it down and sign it." He turned and signaled a servant. The servant hastened to bring paper and pen. "Stop bargaining, or I'll change my mind.

You'll be left penniless," Greyson warned, his voice icy. Rachel surveyed the hall, recognizing she had no choice. Taking the three hundred million and leaving was her wisest option. With reluctance, she picked up the pen. Greyson then approached Hutton and briefed him on the situation. Hutton conferred in hushed tones with the elders in the grand hall. Ultimately, they agreed with Greyson's actions. Another Harman family scandal could jeopardize their pharmaceutical empire, and no one wanted that.

Rachel hastily documented the details of the money transfer and signed the paper before handing it to Greyson. Greyson's eyes scanned the document. It revealed that Rachel had been duped into investing in a fraudulent high-yield fund, resulting in a significant loss she couldn't recover. At the time, Madilyn had framed Candice with a vicious lie, accusing her of orchestrating an attack on her. When Corrine learned of Rachel's debt, she offered five million dollars to help her through the rough patch, hoping Rachel would stop making Candice's life difficult.

Rachel's signature was at the bottom of the paper. Read it first on gⱯlnoⱱels.cøm Greyson folded the paper and tucked it away. At that moment, a servant approached and handed Rachel the divorce agreement once again. She glanced at Greyson and asked, "What if I sign this and you don't give me the money? What recourse do I have against you?" Greyson scoffed. "Whether you sign or not, you're powerless against me. You're in no position to negotiate. Your only option is to trust me." Rachel clenched her jaw, utterly at his mercy. She had lost.

Picking up the pen, she looked toward Lamont before signing the agreement. The spineless man dared only a quick glance at her before averting his eyes, as if she were a harbinger of doom. Her anger flared as she signed her name on the divorce agreement. . . .
