Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Can we not go to Belfard anymore?

“Whatever amount I can claim for myself, you all can get the same. We will all have the same amount. There won’t be anyone who can get more while others get less. There will be no such unfair treatment.”

“However, if any of you feel that the compensation amount doesn’t meet your expectations and you’re not satisfied, I might not be able to satisfy you. If you want a higher amount, you can also opt out now.” Harrington Lawrence made it clear to them in advance.

“Mr. Lawrence, may I ask, in our situation, how much can we claim?” Someone asked.

Wendy Clarke also pricked up her ears, wanting to know their plans.

The more they knew, the clearer their understanding, and the better they could respond with more comprehensive preparations on their side.

Harrington Lawrence smiled and said, “In my experience, we can each claim 1 million.”

“Holy crap!”

Everyone was shocked.

This was much more than they had expected.

Many customers thought that there were so many people dining at the restaurant.

It would be nice to claim tens of thousands of dollars per person.

At most, it would be around 100,000.

Unexpectedly, Harrington Lawrence asked for 1 million just like that!

As expected from a big shot lawyer from Capital City, experienced in worldly matters. They dare to ask for 1 million just for seeing a mouse!

Fortunately, they all agreed to let Harrington Lawrence represent them.

Otherwise, if they did it themselves, they wouldn’t know how much money they would lose.

With 1 million, one could buy a big house in Nork City.

Wendy Clarke almost called out.

1 million per person, there were more than fifty people present.

Why don’t they just go rob a bank?!

Wendy Clarke pinched her leg hard to restrain herself and not lose her composure.

If she called out now, wouldn’t they seize the opportunity to find fault?

It seems that they must find a lawyer on their side now.

It’s impossible not to find a lawyer.

It’s not like they would really be pressed into compensating 1 million per person by Harrington Lawrence, right?

On Harrington Lawrence’s side, he took out another business card and handed it to Wendy Clarke: “Miss Clarke, I am now the representative lawyer for our side. If the restaurant has any matters to discuss, you can contact me directly.”

“The customers here, as my clients, cannot be directly contacted and negotiated with by the restaurant. No matter what happens, it must go through me,” Harrington Lawrence said.

Not to mention 50 million, even giving away 10,000 to unrelated people would make her cry bloody tears.

This 50 million was even more painful than taking Christy Xenos’ life.

“Of course, it’s impossible to pay that much.” Wendy Clarke said, “The restaurant doesn’t even make that much in net profit per year.”

Although the restaurant business seemed glamorous, she had to manage everything from top to bottom.

Taking care of various departments, annual inspections, and ensuring that various documents all passed smoothly.

She also had to deal with the underworld so they wouldn’t cause trouble.

Not to mention the cost of ingredients, utilities, decorations, tableware, and the salaries of every employee from the chef to the waiter.

After deducting these costs, the annual profit wasn’t really that impressive.

The Clarke family enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle in Nork City.

But the cost of living in Nork City was also low.

The consumption level and housing prices were not high.

Of course, putting all that aside,

Even if she made several hundred million a year, she still wouldn’t be willing to pay fifty or sixty million in compensation.

What a joke.

Wendy Clarke thought that even giving several thousand dollars per person would be excessive.

“It’s too weird. I think someone planned this in advance,” Wendy Clarke said. “Because today’s customers always seemed to grasp the timing of every step so well. Thinking about it carefully, there was even a sense of rhythm to it.”

Wendy Clarke detailed the entire incident to Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke.

Though the two couldn’t help,

Wendy Clarke really needed to vent,

To keep her emotions in check.

After finally finishing her explanation, Wendy Clarke stood up and poured herself a glass of water.

“Now, that lawyer Harrington Lawrence represents the customers. He said that he will send me a lawyer’s letter and start the legal proceedings,” Wendy Clarke said.

“So, I have to find a good lawyer to deal with this,” Wendy Clarke said solemnly.

“Then... can we still go to Belfard City?” Christy Xenos remembered this matter.

With such a big problem in their own restaurant, Wendy Clarke certainly couldn’t leave.

So how could they go to Belfard City to find Cindy Clarke?

Wendy Clarke thought about it and said, “Go!”

“You’re still going?” Joshua Clarke asked in surprise.

“I really can’t leave. I have to stay here to deal with the restaurant’s problem. This time the incident is far too serious,” Wendy Clarke said.
