Chapter 1384: They Met Again
"If | just give you money like this, it proves that | am condoning your behavior," Tristan said calmly. "If | allow extortion to happen,
then similar incidents will probably occur from tto time. You'll extort others, and others will extort me."
He had a firm grasp of their mentality, making the family members feel guilty...
Tristan wasn't angry, and he spoke logically, "How the elderly person died can be determined through an investigation. | think you
wouldn't want the results to cout."
The family members didn't dare to speak...
But Tristan was kindhearted. He wanted to settle the matter and not waste any more time, as he had a meeting with business
partners later.
So he told them, "I will give you smoney."
The family members, who were sitting on the sofa, looked up at him in disbelief.

Tristan met their gazes and made his own judgment, "Perhaps you encountered difficulties and resorted to this as a last resort." He
said this because they didn't seem like evil people.
Hearing such magnanimous words from the man, the family members were shocked for a few seconds before sliding to their knees
in gratitude.
"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Norwell."
"We have a sick child at home. We really did this out of desperation. We spent all our savings on his treatment."
Outside the door, Monica peeked inside, watching the scene play out clearly.
When she had cin earlier, Kevin had briefly explained what happened.
She was initially furious, thinking that this was blatant extortion. Did they have any shame?
She thought Tristan would coldly follow legal procedures and not let the wrongdoers take advantage, but instead, he reasoned with
them and agreed to give them smoney.
The family members knelt and kowtowed, full of gratitude. Monica was moved but didn't know what to say.
Then the family members left the room, and Monica stepped aside to let them pass.
As for Tristan? He was still in the reception room.
Monica didn't know what he was thinking, only seeing the tall figure with his hands in his pockets. She felt a strange sense of pity
for him.
The police guarding the door left, and Kevin received a call, going to the entrance to meet the business partners.
Monica saw that he was fine, so she felt relieved.
Just as she was about to sneak away, a voice cfrom the hallway-
"Miss Swain!"
Not only did Saskia Holt's voice make Monica's footsteps falter, but it also reached Tristan's ears. He turned to look upon hearing

In the hallway, Monica's heart skipped a beat as she turned to see Saskia Holt. "Hey~" she greeted with an awkward smile.
She glanced subconsciously at the door of the reception room, and sure enough, Tristan had cout.
He saw her at once, and their eyes met.
Saskia Holt hesitated for a moment and then quickly slipped away, realizing that it was not the right tfor a third person to
appear.
Tristan just looked at her, his hands in his pockets as he stepped towards her.
His aura wasn't oppressive, but as he approached her step by step, Monica's heart began to race. She tried to control herself,
searching her mind for a reason to be at the company.
"Um, I..." She didn't know how to explain, but Tristan stopped in front of her, looking down at her with his considerable height
advantage. They stood less than half a meter apart.
He didn't ask anything, his expression gentle and his gaze deep, as if he just wanted to hear what she had to say.
