Elena found it hard to understand Martina's thought process. How could the two of them sit down for a chat or even have a meal together?
Thankfully, Martina quickly clarified things and made it clear that she hadn't gone out to dine with Adam. That wouldn't make any sense, as she didn't have that much free time to casually dine with him.
"Damn! Adam is so shameless, he's practically resorting to blackmail!" Elena was understandably outraged after hearing what happened. But then, thinking about the torn-up check, she couldn't help feeling a bit of regret. "That 10 million wasn't a small sum. Honestly, you should have kept the money at the start and then declined his offer."
Elena could have done that without a doubt, but Martina couldn't.
Martina shook her head. "It's a case of giving a thief an inch, and he takes a yard. I don't want to get too involved with him, so I'd rather not take his money."
