Chapter 433
Stella had just removed her wig, so her hair was tied up behind her head. Her makeup from the shoot
was not heavy but added a chilling aura to her look.
’Who are you, and who sent you here to cause trouble?" she asked.
The man withdrew his scrutiny, raised his eyes, and asked, "Who are YOU?"
"Rainee Spade is my mother,’ Stella said in a deep voice.
The man glanced at Stella's attire and the designer bag she was carrying, and the corners of his lips
curled upward. "Then we found the right person," the man said while he opened the leather bag under
his arm and took out a stack of lOUs, "This is the amount of money your mother borrowed from us.
Since you are her daughter, you must repay this debt."
Stella frowned and took the lOUs from the man. There were at least a dozen in the stack, with different
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtamounts of money on each sheet, ranging from tens of thousands to millions. Each of them had
Rainee's signature and fingerprint that Dahlia forged. The earliest was more than ten years ago, and
the latest was eight years ago.
'There are 17 lOUs in total. So, plus interest, the total is 43 million dollars. I thought of letting you pay
us back in installments, but seeing you with all these fancy designer items; I'm sure you have the
money. So, let's settle it all at once.’
But Stella just tore those lOUs to shreds.
"My mother did not sign these lOUs. Go find the one who signed them." After that, Stella flatly said,
"Get out of the way!"
The man's face changed, "How could you say that? It's all there in black and white."
Stella looked at the other party and said in a different tone, "Bro, I don't know who you're working for or
if those bills are even real. The interest rate on them has exceeded four times the bank's rate. This is
clearly usury, and it is not protected by law. Even if you get the police involved, you can only get about
30% interest on these lOUs at most."
The leader had been collecting debt for years, yet she was the first to talk about the law. "Little miss girl
here thinks she can talk to me about the law after two years of study? Hah. Listen up, girl. You weren't
even in your mother's womb yet when I studied the law." he laughed.
His words sounded harassing. The men beside him laughed lowly, looking at Stella maliciously.
"If you pay back the money today, we will immediately go and leave everything untouched; if you don't,
we'd have to talk. Since we don't have any money, and you're clearly bathed in gold and silver, we'll
just stay here. We'll leave when you pay everything off. But let me remind you, girl, my patience doesn't
reflect my boys. If you take too long, I can't guarantee your mother's well-being.”
Stella's expression darkened when she heard that. 'Seems like there's no negotiating with these
people,' she thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that she didn't speak, the man said again, "You look like you have the money, kid. Look at this
ward. I'm guessing it costs more than ten thousand for a day. Others will go bankrupt if they live here
for one or two months. Yet, she has lived here for seven years. It would be unreasonable if you told me
you don't have the money."
Stella frowned, "Why didn't you come all those years before if you knew she was here?"
The man glanced at her, ’I didn't come because someone had been paying the interest, so I didn't have
to worry about it. But they haven't been paying me back for the last few months. So I had to ask for the
money somehow, right?"
"Who paid the previous interest?” Stella asked.
"Albert Jewell."
"Go find him then!" "He and your mother are divorced. There's no way he'd continue paying your
mother's debt."
