“How are we going to catch the swindler if we didn’t come here personally?” Victoria shot him a glare.

“That’s right! How dare you enjoy dining in such a luxurious place after cheating us of our money? You’re utterly shameless!” Florence demanded with her hands on her hips.

“Who are these shrews, Terrence? Should we throw them out?” Terrence’s friends asked meanly. Terrence was about to be the wealthiest one among them, so they were all dying to suck up to him.

“No, that won’t be necessary. I know them.” An idea came to Terrence, and he quickly told his friends, “You guys head on back for now. I’ve got some personal matters to deal with. I’ll buy you all a meal some other day.” And with that, he urged his friends to leave the private room.

“You’re playing the fool with us, are you? Here, I’ll help jog your memory. A week ago, you swindled us into purchasing the plot of land where the abandoned building was, for a total of a hundred million dollars. Do you remember now?” Florence’s piercing gaze bore into Terrence. That piece of land had nearly caused her to go bankrupt, and she still had recurring nightmares

about it.
