“Please tell me if this request is reasonable," she asked.

“It's very much so, Mrs. Dreskin.”

He paused, and then added, "By the way, the restaurant owner who posted your and Miss Haywood's photo online yesterday violated your and her right to privacy in several ways. The video also includes false accusations against you. You have the right to demand more compensation since you're a public figure."

Claudia nodded in understanding. Since Leif was one of Bennett's trusted lawyers, she decided to give the decision-making rights to him.

“Mr. Wilde, my friend and I don't really know what legal action to take or how much money to seek in compensation, so we'll just count on you for that."

“Understood, Mrs. Dreskin. Do you have a recording of your negotiation yesterday?"

Claudia eyed him warily.

"Yes, but we recorded it secretly, so.

“It's fine, We can still use it as evidence."

Leif calculated the settlement amount on his laptop as he talked. A few minutes later, he asked, “Mrs. Dreskin, is this amount enough?"

Claudia pressed her lips into a thin line and studied the numbers displayed on the screen.

"Mr. Wilde, I know you're a good lawyer, and I trust you. If you think this is acceptable, then we'll go with it."

“Alright. I guess that's it for now, I'll get back to you soon, Mrs. Dreskin, but don't hesitate to get in touch with me if there's anything else you need."

"Okay." The two of them exchanged contact details before Claudia saw Leif off. He was really a good lawyer. As expected of the Segarine Group.

Leif actually thought it was reasonable to demand three hundred thousand dollars of compensation from the restaurant owner.

Claudia did not show it on her face, but she was really shocked when she saw the amount.

As soon as Leif left, Claudia sent a message to Aurora, saying, “The lawyer will demand three hundred thousand dollars from the restaurant owner on my behalf. He'll also request twenty thousand dollars for you."

Aurora, who was otherwise occupied at work, let out a surprised yelp upon reading Claudia's message.

Her coworker thought she had come up with a great strategy for the project and asked, “Aurora, did you come up with something?"

"No, no, no. I just accidentally hit my foot." Aurora laughed awkwardly while rubbing her nose.

Her coworker chuckled.

“I thought you came up with an idea to promote the new product already."

“That's impossible. I'm still searching for more information."

"I see, I won't bother you anymore, then."
