Chapter 7

"You're thinking too simply." Orborne said smugly: "That jewelry workshop is worthless now; all the equipment is damaged. A mortgage? That will never be enough! And the rent for the workshop is still unpaid. If not handled well, your father could even be accused of contract fraud and end up in prison."

"You!" Dulcie bit her lip, a murderous thought flashing in her mind.

This was a common tactic in the business world. Orborne, with his substantial assets, had many ways to deal with a bankrupt jewelry workshop like Dulcie's family.

"Have you thought it over? Do you want to beg me?" Orborne, seeing her distress, couldn't hide his pleasure.

"Have you said enough? If so, then leave." Theophilus said, his expression unchanged as he looked at Orborne.

"You, a useless guy, dare to tell me to leave?" Orborne's face changed, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Theophilus.
