Chapter 62 Please Talk With My Lawyer (1/2)
Shirley reached for Winner's cell phone, but he refused.
”Sister, do you want the pictures?”
”Yeah, of course! If you don't want a lawsuit, just give me the pictures.”
”I can give you the pictures, but you have to give me something as compensation. You know I went out without permission and I took the pictures at risk of being discovered by our father.” Winner raised his eyebrows and smiled cunningly.
Shirley didn't expect Winner to ask her for compensation. Both, Shirley and Winner were facing prosecution. Why would he want to negotiate over the pictures that would save them from imprisonment? She got a little angry and said, ”You will also benefit from it if we successfully alienate Jean and Zed with these pictures. How can you ask for compensation from me at this critical moment? Winner, do you still have a soul? I am your sister.”
After hearing Shirley, Winner raised his eyebrows, put his legs on the coffee table, and said nonchalantly, ”You're my biological sister. Don't you know that sisters and brothers are alike? You are no better than me. I just have the pictures you need and you have something that I want. If we make a deal, we could both benefit.”
”You are such a bad person!” Shirley gnashed her teeth. However, she had no choice but to take Winner's offer. After all, her disappointing brother had what she wanted.

”Okay, deal. But I only have fifty thousand dollars on me.”
”Fifty thousand dollars?” Upon hearing Shirley's words, Winner felt deflated. Then he asked, ”Why do you have such a small sum of money? Are you lying to me?”
”You know I don't have a job. I slowly saved the fifty thousand from my pocket money. It is not easy for me, okay? Winner, you should not be so greedy.” Shirley was too angry to say another word. She thought, 'I am so unlucky to have such an ungrateful brother.'
Although Winner was not happy to give Shirley the pictures for just fifty thousand, he had no choice. He thought, 'If I don't agree with her, I will get nothing. After all, there is no use keeping the pictures with me.
If I give them to Shirley and she shows them to Zed
