Chapter 941

I’m Going Back on My Words Now

While Chloe was stupefied, Minerva stammered anxiously, “D-Didn’t we already reach a settlement the
last time? We even signed the letter of understanding—”

Bonds cut her off directly. “I’m going back on my words now.”

“Y-You signed the letter of understanding yourself!” Minerva exclaimed. “How can you take back your
promise now? A man shouldn’t go back on his words! Do you call yourself a man?”

Instantly, the men behind Bonds were infuriated. “D*mn it, b*tch. Who are you speaking about?”

“You’re asking for it, b*tch!”

“Boss, should we rip off her mouth first?”

The men looked fierce and sinister; they frightened Minerva so much that she staggered a few steps
backward.

While waving his hand, Bonds said indifferently, “So what if I’ve already decided that I’m going back on
my words? What can you do to me?”

This time, Minerva didn’t dare to talk back anymore, and Bonds turned back to Chloe. “I’m not going to
ask for much. One million, and this matter is over! There are so many of you here. It shouldn’t be difficult
to come up with a million.”



“I-I don’t have a million!” Chloe cried out in panic. “You’ve already signed the letter of understanding, so
you can’t ask for money anymore! This is extortion!”



Bonds snorted. “Yeah, I’m extorting you. So what? Just await your death if I don’t get a million.” After
that, he took his men with him and left in a huff.

Everyone looked at each other. They were stunned, as nobody expected the situation to turn out this
way. Frowning, Sasha asked, “What’s the problem with him? Why is he still asking for money after
signing the letter of understanding?”

With a smirk, Matthew leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I was the one who told him to come!”

“Huh?” She gasped, and Matthew shook his head at her, signaling her to not ask any questions.

After Bonds and his men left, Minerva cursed angrily and turned to Chloe in the end. “Mom… What are
we going to do?”

Chloe gazed at Helen helplessly. “Helen, w-what should we do about this one million?”

“You shouldn’t ask my mother-in-law this question, Aunt Chloe,” Matthew interjected suddenly. “Didn’t we
already agree that we’ll take care of twenty-three million? So, can’t you guys think of a way to come up
with this one million?”

“But we don’t have a million either!” Chloe cried out anxiously.

Paula pursed her lips and said, “There’s not much difference between twenty-three million and twenty-
four million. It’s just a difference of one million, and it’s still nothing to your family, Helen. You guys should
fork out this money.”

Her words received the support of everyone else, and they all went along with her.

James and Helen were so furious that they glared at Matthew, thinking that this wouldn’t have happened
if he hadn’t agreed to pay that twenty-three million. This is all his fault!



However, a smile spread across Matthew’s face. “Aunt Paula, I’m afraid you can’t put it that way. We’ve
agreed to take care of that twenty-three million, and it’s not appropriate that we even have to take care of
this one million now.”

“Well, Chloe and her family don’t have that much money,” she said anxiously. “What should we do then?”

“She may not have the money, but you guys do!” Matthew answered with a smile. “You guys said it
yourselves earlier that you can’t come up with twenty-three million, but you can still make it if it’s a few
hundred thousand or even a million. And now, this is only one million. I’m sure you guys can come up
with the amount if you put your money together!”

All of a sudden, Sasha grinned because she finally understood what Matthew meant.

“Why should we fork out the money?” Paula asked, feeling frustrated.

“Then why should we fork out twenty-three million?” Matthew retorted.
