"No, it happened because of me. I have to go too. I have to apologize to Miss Anita." Bruce looked up again and said firmly.

"You don’t even know what’s going on now. Stay in the company and do your work. I’m afraid someone will talk nonsense at the afternoon press conference. Investigate the reporters who will participate again." With that, Owen turned and entered the elevator.

"Yes, CEO, you have to find Miss Anita..." Bruce nodded and said to Owen, who was in the elevator.

Without saying anything else, Owen nodded and pressed the elevator button. When he reached the underground parking lot and got into the car, Owen continued to call Anita, but no one picked up.

Holding his phone, Owen began to try to calm down and seriously ponder where she would go. Other than school, there was only Anita’s parents’ house or their home.

Eric had found a hotel to stay in for a few days after leaving school yesterday. He didn’t expect to get such a wonderful video today. "I can leave this lousy place earlier now," he thought smugly as he shook the VCR in his hand.

"Eric, I told you yesterday not to call me again."

"Miss Joan? Don’t be angry. I have something good here. Do you want to see it?" Eric said with a smile as soon as the call connected.

"What video?" Joan asked while listening to Eric.

"What video? I guarantee you’ll be happy when you see it," Eric said with another smile.

"Don’t be long-winded. Tell me what video it is," Joan said coldly again, feeling impatient as she listened to Eric.

"Miss Joan, don’t be so cold. It wasn’t easy for me to take a video of Anita hooking up with another man. Don’t you want to see it?"

"What did you say? What video? Send it to me immediately," Joan said quickly and was excited by Eric’s words.

"Miss Joan, don’t be anxious. It wasn’t easy for me to take this video. You don’t know that that b*tch Anita even slapped me. My face still hurts," Eric said into the phone.

Hearing Eric’s words, Joan knew that it wouldn’t be so easy for her to get this video today. "What do you mean? Didn’t I just transfer you the money yesterday?"

"Miss Joan, how could the money you transferred yesterday be enough? I got a room and hired a few people to record a video. Do you think it’s that simple? Besides, there’s my medical fees too," Eric said on the other end of the line.

"Why didn’t she just kill you, scum?" Joan thought, but she didn’t say it. After all, Eric had what she wanted now. No matter what, she had to wait until she got it before turning hostile.

So she changed her tone and said, "I know it’s been hard on you, but didn’t I just transfer you the money yesterday? I don’t have any liquid funds on hand now."

"Miss Joan, don’t lie to me. You’re the daughter of a resort owner after all. How can you not have money? Why are you lying? I don’t want much. Just give me two million."

"Eric, do you think the video you took is gold? Or you think that I can’t do anything without you?" Joan sneered when she heard Eric’s words.

"Miss Joan, don’t be angry. I’m giving you a discount. If Anita comes over later, the price will be two million. How about that? Think about it."

"Besides, two million might be enough for Anita to break up with Owen. This should be a good deal. My asking price isn’t high anymore. Don’t regret it if you miss this opportunity," Eric said again when he saw that Joan was silent.

"You’re right, but how can I believe you? Besides, I don’t believe Anita has two million to give you," Joan said after thinking about it.

"Miss Joan, you’re wrong. Owen has been coaxed by Anita. She can even fork out five million, let alone two million."

Hearing Eric’s words, Joan felt a wave of jealousy again. As expected, that b*tch Anita was after Owen’s money. She couldn’t watch Owen be cheated.

"You’re so troublesome. If you don’t want it, I’ll give this video to Anita later. She’s anxious to have it. When she deletes this video, you won’t be able to do anything about her relationship with Owen." Eric knew that Joan was definitely hesitating, so he smiled again.

"I really don’t have that much money now. I’ll give you a million at most. If you’re willing, I’ll transfer the money to you now." Joan listened to Eric and gritted her teeth.

"Okay, since you’re so straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush with you. One million it is. Transfer it to the account from yesterday. I’ll send the video to you now," Eric said quickly when he heard Joan agree.
