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.

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.
