Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Not Stepbrother

After the debt collection call, Caleb said nothing. He quietly removed the SIM card from his phone and tossed it into a trash can like he was performing some kind of disappearing act, like this single gesture could render him invisible and spare him from everything unpleasant chasing him down.

The five million had originally been offered by Anne. She said it was to help him. She never called it a loan, never asked for a promissory note. Back then, they'd been practically inseparable, sweet to the point of saccharine. Anne had spent a small fortune

on him.

And it was him, trying too hard to prove he wasn't some gold-digging loser, who insisted on writing her that stupid IOU.

If he could go back, he'd break his own damn hand before letting himself write that IOU.

Should've just embraced being a freeloader. It wasn't like it was

Caleb was seething.

He'd been so sure he'd had Alistair right where he wanted him that day. And even if things hadn't gone to plan, he could've tried again later. But to this day, he still couldn't figure out how it all

backfired.

They had seen Alistair drink the spiked water with their own eyes,

so how was it that he and that female coworker were the ones

who ended up in trouble?

Whatever the explanation, all of this misfortune traced back to

Alistair.

And Liam.

Caleb's eyes turned cold and dangerous.

Alistair's off-limits-at least for now. But his dad? I can still make

him pay.

If Liam hadn't conned him out of that five million, he might've had

a fighting chance to bounce back. But now? With that kind of debt hanging over

his head, he'd never claw his way out.
