Chapter: 936
The couple had had no idea that Claudia was more than just a wealthy woman
She was a renowned pianist and a skilled motorboat racer who recently gained widespread attention.
Shortly after the couple posted the photos, Claudia's fans quickly recognized her. A group of people entered the couple's live stream, demanding an apology from them,
Aiyana and Stan were caught off guard by what they saw. Their faces flushed with embarrassment as they quickly deleted the photos and video, pretending to send messages to Claudia and Aurora to apologize.
They thought it was the worst thing that could happen, but little did they know that the matter would go viral on Twitter in just over ten minutes.
As more and more tweets about the matter appeared, they couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. It was one thing for it to become a trending topic, but why did the official account of the Segarine Group have to get involved and speak up for the two girls? The weight of their mistake hit them like a ton of bricks.
It wasn't until this moment that Aiyana and Stan realized who they had provoked and offended.
The comment section was brutal, with one remark in particular standing out: “The wife of the chairman of the Segarine Group will extort thousands of dollars for compensation from you?" Aiyana and Stan couldn't believe what they were reading.
When they discovered Claudia‘s true identity, Aiyana and Stan attempted to seek help from their friends and contacts to resolve the situation.
However, their friends revealed that none of them was acquainted with the chairman of the Segarine Group.
They lacked the connections to be familiar with such an influential and powerful figure. Even if they were, they weren't esteemed or prominent enough to advocate for the couple in Bennett's presence.
The feedback from their friends only made the couple panic, and now they knew they were on their own and had to dig themselves out of the trouble they put themselves in.
How could they solve it themselves?
Apart from making a phone call, admitting their mistake, and offering compensation, Aiyana and Stan didn't know what else to do.
Efforts to reach Claudia were in vain, but Aurora answered their call. Despite their pleas, Aurora remained steadfast. She refused to settle and insisted on taking the matter to court.
If the situation escalated to court, the fate of their restaurant hung in the balance,
Aiyana and Stan endured a sleepless night, finally succumbing to exhaustion in the early morning. Just as they managed to have a few hours of sleep, a call summoned them downstairs to receive a letter of demand.
After reading the letter, their faces paled, and they exchanged worried glances. They were in over their heads, and they knew it, Aiyana couldn't help but plead with Leif, the lawyer, "Sir, can you please help us contact Mrs. Dreskin? We're willing to negotiate and make things right."
Leif's gaze was impassive as he addressed Aiyana.
“If you wish to resolve this matter privately, you must adhere to the stipulations outlined in the letter, These are the requirements instructed by my clients. Once you have fulfilled the specified conditions, my clients are willing to withdraw the case."
Stan, who had remained silent throughout, wore a grim expression.
“But the compensation they're demanding is excessive. Isn't it? It's nearly four hundred thousand in total! We admit our mistake, but paying such a hefty sum seems unjust."
“My clients determined the amount. If you find it excessive, we can settle this in court," Leif responded, giving Stan a pointed look.
With that, he turned on his heel and left. He wasted no further time with them. Aiyana and Stan were left to grapple with the situation.
