The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"One billion US dollars?!"

Kathleen's words instantly caused the whole world to be in an uproar.

In third-world countries, the civil compensation for human life was only a few thousand US dollars.

It was only tens of thousands of US dollars in developing countries or hundreds of thousands of US dollars at most.

In developed countries, it was true that there would often be some cases with very high compensation, but tens of millions of US dollars would generally be the peak.

Moreover, there would generally be a team of top lawyers who would have to be racking their brains to get this kind of compensation that was up to tens of millions of US dollars.

So, the victim could only really get a small portion of the compensation, and a large part of it would basically go into the lawyers' pockets.

Nevertheless, Kathleen had said that the Fox family would be compensating one billion US dollars per person as soon as she spoke up. What kind of concept was this?! This was equivalent to giving a public listed company to each victim's family! The video footage showed that there were at least more than twenty girls who had died in Homer's hands.novelbin

This also meant that the Fox family would have to spend more than twenty billion US dollars to settle this matter!

This... This could no longer be described as wealthy and generous.

This was simply no cost. No cost at all!

Therefore, at this moment, Kathleen's image became unusually amazing in everyone's eyes.

What kind of courage could make this woman speak up and give compensation of one billion US dollars for each person?!

Moreover, one billion US dollars would be enough for any family anywhere in the world to live a top luxury life, and this money would be enough for them to spend for several lifetimes.

This kind of compensation was simply unheard of and simply impeccable!

Someone started applauding, and

eventually, the whole hall was thunderous with applause that lasted for a long time. Homer's actions had indeed made everyone grit their teeth with anger, but Kathleen's attitude and the solution

that she had proposed truly

convinced everyone.

She was not shirking any responsibility, nor was she avoiding any sensitive factors, but at the same time, she was making up for the fault at all costs. Kathleen's solution made it so that no one could find any fault with the Fox family. Therefore, at this moment, everyone's negative feelings toward the Fox family instantly dissipated.

However, Kathleen was still not finished.

She waited for a few minutes, but when the applause did not stop, she could only hold up her hand to signal for everyone to stop applauding.

After waiting for another minute or so, the applause finally stopped gradually.

Kathleen continued, "As for the payment of this money, we will communicate fully with the police first. After confirming the identity of each victim, we will take the initiative to contact the victim's immediate family and pay the compensation to the victim's immediate family. If the victim does not have any immediate family members, we will donate the money to the women and children's rights protection organization in the victim's birthplace. We will also disclose the details of the donation to the whole society and accept supervision from the whole society."

When Kathleen said this, there was thunderous applause from the audience yet again.

So far, the crowd had never seen any wealthy families who could handle their own scandals like this, and this was beyond anyone's expectations.

In the past, when those wealthy

families made mistakes, the first

thing that they would do would be to

shirk all responsibilities. If they really could not shirk their responsibilities, they would come up with a lot of reasons to defend themselves or simply pretend to be deaf and dumb without responding at all.
