Chapter 55

"Of course, it's real. You will only get two hundred thousand dollars a year at most. Do you think the amount is too little for you? I'm sorry, I cannot do more than that," Vernon said. "But worry not. I will handle your tax, so you will get the fixed amount after I deduct your salary to clear your debt to me."

Chloe continued staring at the contract for a while, and a drop of tear wetted the contract. She wiped it immediately.

Vernon frowned when he saw the tear; 

'Was it too shocking for her? Just because I gave her two hundred thousand per year? Is it that humiliating for her? That means she will have to be stuck with me for a year at least.'

'Does she not realize that's already a decent amount of money in New York? I mean, it's decent earning for one person, considering she doesn't need to pay for rent. Or she is just way too spoiled by my brother that she can't imagine living with that small amount of money?'
