“Have a seat,” she nodded..
“Aren’t we supposed to sign the compensation agreement? Where is it?” I didn’t want to play games with her. I went straight to the point.
“What’s the rush? Have some tea first. Let’s talk slowly.”
I raised my eyebrows suspiciously. I looked at the tea in front of me, picking it up to examine it carefully. “Isn’t there poison in it?”
Vera Winter scoffed. “If you’re afraid of poison, don’t drink it.”
I
put down the cup and pushed it away. “It’s best not to drink it.”

Vera Winter seemed speechless and smiled wryly, about to start her usual insults, “You are an powerless omega from a small family…”
“Stop it. That old line is tiresome. Let’s get down to business and not waste time,” I interrupted her rudely.
Vera Winter’s face turned green with anger. She took out the agreement, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.“Sign it.”
I picked it up and read through it page by page. The compensation was all there should only be one page but this had over ten pages of nonsense. It was as if she was afraid I would examine it carefully.
After reading it, I calmly put down the agreement.“I need to discuss this agreement with my lawyer. I’ll give you my answer tomorrow afternoon.”
“If there’s a problem, tell me directly, and I’ll change it for you.”
“Can I just ask you to change it? How about I draft a new one?”
“No, it must be according to mine,” Vera Winter’s face turned cold.Her aura suddenly surged, and her wolf became faintly visible.
I leaned back leisurely. “Didn’t you just say that you can change it for me? Why are you saying it must be according to yours now? What’s the meaning of this?”
Vera Winter said, “It means you must sign it today before you can leave.”
I didn’t get angry.My wolf was a bit panicked, but I didn’t show it. I pretended to consider it again. Then I’ll call my lawyer to ask. If she says there’s no problem, I’ll sign immediately.”
I got up, taking the contract and walking out. As soon as I stepped out, I left quickly without looking back.
I sensed something bad gonna happen to me. Those clauses hidden in the ten pages made my scalp tingle when I read them, such as one clause: If there is an improper relationship with another person of the opposite sex before the bonding severance, the agreement is automatically invalidated.
At first glance, it didn’t seem like anything, but upon closer inspection, it was terrifying….
I had no improper relationship, but such things could be framed.
I had overestimated Vera Winter’s conscience.
In the tea room. Vera Winter took out her phone and made a call.“She’s gone, and she’s taken the agreement. Tanner, do you really have a way to help me save that breakup fee?”
“Aunt, don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything. I guarantee that the Winter Family won’t lose a penny, and she won’t dare to blackmail you again.”
That’s great. Tanner, you’re really capable. The next step is up to you.”
“No problem, Aunt Vera, leave it to me.”
to..
They ended their calls. Vera Winter felt relieved and contentedly took a sip of tea. Thinking about announcing the engagement between the Winter and Cooper Families openly and without worries at the charity gala she was organizing tomorrow night, she felt happy.

As for that powerless omega, Sophia Wells, hmph, even though she didn’t know what Tanner’s methods were, it was good to give her some suffering.
On the other hand, Tanner held her phone, her eyes filled with malice.
Tonight is Sophia Wells‘ death sentence!
