Chapter Billionaire 258



Chapter 258

Lisa, of course, hadn’t told the entire truth. She was indeed under threat, but it wasn’t because of gambling debts. The real reason was something she could never voice out loud. So, she had to find an excuse.

Leah and Jacob were both beside themselves with anger. Half an hour later, they had somewhat calmed down. Jacob swallowed several heart pills in quick succession, fearing a

relapse.

Lisa stood in a corner, quietly crying.

Chloe was watching the drama unfold, and seemed quite satisfied. “Dad,” Chloe said, “since Lisa has already sold her shares, there’s nothing can do.”

Jacob was furious. “Are you trying to kill me too? Would you be happy only if, the Meadows family goes bankrupt?”

Chloe responded calmly, “If the Meadows family goes bankrupt, it wouldn’t be because of me. You don’t need to take your anger out on me.”

“What do you want? What will convince you to help us?” Jacob asked.

“Dad, getting Miss Y to drop the lawsuit is not easy. I don’t know how much it’s going to cost,” Chloe said, looking towards Lisa in the corner. “Lisa sold her stocks for thirty million. I don’t ask for more. Just give me that thirty million, and I’ll help the company this one time.”

Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief. Though the shares were sold, thirty million wasn’t a significant amount for the company. He had anticipated that getting someone like Miss Y to drop the lawsuit and settle would cost a considerable sum. Thirty million was within his

expectations.

“I’ll give you the thirty million,” Jacob said.

Chloe replied, “Dad, I don’t want your money. I want Lisa’s.”

Lisa looked up at Chloe, her eyes filled with hatred, as if she wanted to carve a bloody hole right through her. She had almost gotten away with it. But now, Chloe pulled her back to the guillotine.

“But all my money has gone to paying off debts. Where am I supposed to find thirty million for you?” Lisa retorted.

“It’s okay if you don’t have it now. Just sign an IOU,” Chloe said.

Lisa was furious. Chloe wanted Lisa to sign an IOU and give her money. No way.

“In your dreams!” Lisa shot back.

Jacob, however, thought this was an excellent solution, a way for Chloe to give him a graceful exit. It seemed Chloe was still the kind, sensible daughter he had always cherished.

Jacob’s face turned cold as he said to Lisa, “If you don’t sign this IOU, I’ll disown you.”

Seeing the coldness in Jacob’s face, Lisa knew he was serious. In the end, she humiliatingly signed the IOU in front of a lawyer, who also notarized it.

After signing, Chloe took the IOU. “Lisa, from now on, every penny you earn has to be deposited into my account. Otherwise, I’ll sue you in court and enforce the repayment. If you don’t pay, you’ll be blacklisted. I think you wouldn’t want that.”
