Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the CCTV footage, Attlee was seen kneeling by an old woman's bedside, sobbing, “We finally managed to buy this piece of land, but we've been told that we must start construction within a month and can't sell it for five years.” It was true. The Panter family had been interested in the property before, but they backed off when they heard about the five— year hold period.
They were puzzled about how the Murphy family could afford to sit on the land for five years. As it turned out, the Murphy family was clueless about the whole thing.
“We've borrowed money from many local banks and acquaintances. Just the interest alone costs us over $300,000 a month. But our company’s funds are tight, and our monthly profit can’t cover this debt!” The room was full of stunned faces at this revelation. Over $300,000 in interest! That was a terrifying figure! It might be manageable for a few months, but who could bear it for five years straight? The big question was, were the rumors about the Murphy family’s financial troubles true? Their monthly profit was less than $50,000 after all expenses.

She was frustrated with her ungrateful son, who kept bothering her while she was ill. She had made it clear that she wouldn't help, but Attlee kept coming back with his wife and daughter, which was quite irritating.
“Mom, don't you own 30% of the shares? Worth $30 million. | have a suggestion. Hearout. Sell your shares, keep $10 million for yourself, and give us the remaining $20 million for emergencies. This $20 million could cover our debt for about five years.” Grace hadn't expected him to have planned it all out already and gave a cold laugh.
“In five years, | will sell the property and get more money than now. Then Pll repay you the $20 million. You can keep it or give it to Arabella. What do you think?” Grace’s smile turned even colder, “I might be old, but I'm not a fool! If | sell my shares now, will you repay me?” Knowing Attlee and Olga, they would definitely deny everything when the tcame! “Mom, | could give you a promissory note! If you lent us two-thirds of your shares, we promise to repay you!” In fear of her refusal, Attlee quickly added, “Otherwise, if the company goes bankrupt, your 30% shares will becworthless!” Grace looked expressionless, her voice full of bitterness, “If it weren't for you ignoringall these years, not even visitingwhen | was sick in the hospital, even wishingdead; if it weren't for you hiding the fact that you sent my granddaughter away; if it weren't for all the terrible things you've done, | would definitely help you.” Attlee looked anxious hearing this and tried to say something more, but Grace cut him off abruptly.
