Chapter 2173: Full of Lies
Rupert panicked, "Brother, don't do this... I'll pay you back! Let's talk this over! I just got some money, I'll pay you back first!"
The other person was not interested in talking, "This is your last warning. If you don't repay the debt, your father will have to. I've found your hideout!"
"Brother, don't do this! You know my situation, I'm at the end of my rope," Rupert was genuinely scared. "I'll transfer $500,000 to you right now! It's all I have at the moment. I'll pay off the rest as soon as possible. Please give me a little more time, believe me! My parents are old and can't afford it. Please don't disturb them."
"You have one hour for the money to be in my account. This is your last chance. Otherwise, I'll go after your parents. Even if they don't have money, they still have a house!" The other person left no room for negotiation. "I've tolerated you long enough, you liar!"
With that, he angrily hung up the phone.
Rupert gripped his phone tightly, listening to the busy signal. He felt terrible, his face contorting in distress.
He immediately drove to a nearby bank and transferred $500, 000 to the account number sent in the message. Then he called back with an extremely appeasing tone.
After confirming that the money was received, he continued to speak kindly until the other person was pacified. When he hung up the phone, Rupert let out a heavy sigh; this matter was temporarily resolved.
No one else should know his new number.
Soon, his father's call came through. He hesitated but calmly answered, "Hello, Dad."
"Are you paying for the house already? That was quick," his father asked in confusion.
Rupert realized his father would receive transaction alerts. He had no choice but to answer, "Yes, I'm paying for it."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Why did you only pay $500, 000? You should pay it all at once; there's no need to incur interest."
"No, no, I'm paying," he quickly thought of an excuse and smiled while saying, "The sales office's account has a limit today; I can only transfer $500, 000 per transaction. We're making payments in batches and you called right in the middle of it
"Alright then, I won't disturb you," Mr. Brightwood finally felt relieved and asked one more question, "Is Summer there with you?"
"Of course she's here," Rupert replied
with a smile. "She's signing the documents now. The home-buying process is quite complicated; fl hang up now and continue with the transfers."
"Alright then, you get back to it," his father said with a sigh of relief. "Finally getting this house will let your mother sleep peacefully tonight. I'll go tell her now."
After hanging up, Rupert returned to the bank and transferred his father's money into his own account in several transactions.
He even transferred an odd amount because he knew buying a house wouldn't be an even number.
He left a few thousand dollars behind as he couldn't bring himself to take every last cent from his father. At the Brightwood family home.
