Chapter 989
Peyton slouched on the couch, surrounded by seven or eight guys and gals, all about her age. They were all
relatives of hers
Truth be told, Peyton had faced hardships in her family due to their preference for sons until she met Paige’s dad.
After marrying Grant Sutton, she finally became what the average person would call a rich lady
Suddenly, relatives who had little to do with her before started showing an interest in her
Peyton dug the attention from these mlatives, even if they hadn’t been good to her in the past.
And so, she’d lend a helping hand to her relatives from time to time
Over the years, the Sutton family’s business had been booming
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese guys were green with envy and shamelessly get a piece of the action, making a pretty penny every year
Last month was supposed to be the biannual settlement day
These several families combined had millions to be settled, including costs.
In the past the Sutton family had always settled their accounts quickly
They present their bills on time, and after the finance department crunched the numbers, the money would be in
their accounts within a couple of days
But this time they’d been waiting for a month, and these accounts still hadn’t been settled
The day before yesterday they found out from their financial assistant who had quit that the Sutton family business
was going belly up
Peyton’s relatives were taken aback and immediately dropped everything to come to H City
Sis what’s the big idea? All our capital is tied up in this Davin banged on the table. My brother–in–law told us to ask
Paige for the money but she won’t even answer our calls! What are we supposed to do?”
“We trusted you, and that’s why we partnered with your husband! You gotta have a conscience, sis. You’re always
splashing the cash around. You even said Paige gives you loads of money every month. How about this, you give us
our money first, and then you and your husband can sort things out later
“We’re family! You can’t shortchange us!”
Everyone was pressuring Peyton to cough up the dough.
Ever since she was assaulted by Grant, he’d been AWOL, not answering her calls
addition to her family, other creditors had also come knocking
She called the cops to get rid of them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut these were her relatives. She couldn’t possibly call the cops on them, could she?
if she really did, what would they say about her behind her back?
Tm broke” Peyton said weakly
“What are you talking about? How can you claim to be broke? What happened to all the money Paige gave you?” A
middle-aged woman crossed her arms and hollered in disbelief
She was a regular with Peyton. She knew!
he money Paige had given her over the years should amount to ten million.
They just wanted five million.
Peyton could definitely afford it. She just….
She just didn’t want to give it to them!
Tm really broke gave all my money to Grant! Peyton broke down in tears, “I can’t find him now! Stop pressuring
me!”
Peyton and Paige’s dad had known each other since they were sixteen.
