His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 459 Dishonorable Since Day One

It wasn’t eight in a thousand. It was eight percent.

Because of the full–width input period added at the end, it looked like an extra zero was included, making it barely distinguishable from a comma separator. It was hard to tell the difference without careful scrutiny, especially since Maverick had over two hundred degrees of presbyopia.

I knew it. How could Zachary possibly be that kind–hearted?

He had essentially dug a pit for her family.

Lysander’s heart had sunk to the lowest point.

Based on this interest rate, the annual interest alone would amount to one hundred and sixty thousand.

However, as she continued to look further, she felt as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her head.

The interest rate stated in the document was not written as “per annum“, but rather, it was indicated as “per month.”

Every month, a whopping interest of a hundred sixty thousand had to be repaid.

How could her family afford it?

If they couldn’t pay back the money, the interest would be compounded with the principal. In no time, the amount would skyrocket to astronomical figures.

Lysander felt a chill run through her entire body as she read.

Luckily, she had returned home that day and had chanced upon that contract.

If her parents continued to hide this form her, it would eventually become a bottomless pit. In the end, Lysander’s parents might be left with no other choice but to jump off a building.

Zachary Powell…

Lysander was so infuriated that she felt like skinning him alive..

“Lysander…” Michelle was worried sick. “Are you all right?”

Lysander composed herself and said, “I’m going to the balcony to make a phone call.”

“Is it to Zachary? It’s quite late. He’s probably asleep by now.”

“He had to get up, even if he was asleep!”

Lysander went to the balcony, found Zachary’s number, and dialed it.

The response on the other end came swiftly, foregoing any formalities. The first words out of his mouth were, “Still not back together with Josiah?”

Lysander struggled to keep her voice down, fearing that any loud noise might worry her family. She managed to choke out, “Are you trying to drive us all to our graves?”
