Chapter 61

At the end of the day, all Ron wanted was money and not Jethro's life. When the shouting behind him fainted, he instructed his men to stop.

Sweeping his gaze past Jethro, who was half-dead, Ron then turned to Leanna. "I didn't expect you to be quite ruthless. You're just watching, even though he's your father."

Leanna's throat felt a little dry, and after a few seconds, she uttered, "If he still had me and my brother in his heart, he wouldn't have done something like this today."

This point was difficult to disagree with and Ron was quiet. "So, what do you plan to do now?" he asked instead.

Taking a breath, she answered, "Take this 50,000. As for the rest, no matter if you're asking him to repay you through labor or any other way, that's between the both of you and nothing to do with me."

Only by making one clean break like this would Jethro's other creditors know that it was useless to look for her for the money he owed.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ron looked at Louis, who was quiet the whole time. "What about you? Are you washing your hands off this, too?"

With a stone-cold face, Louis said, "He reaps what he sows. I don't care." Then, he grabbed Leanna's hand. "Let's go."

Watching them as they walked out of the room, a man asked, "Boss, are you going to let them leave like this? What about our money?"

Turning his head, Ron gestured to Jethro on the floor. "Isn't there another person here?"

Previously, Jethro was hounded by creditors as well, but he managed to catch hold of two million from somewhere afterward. Since he had channels like that, Ron didn't have to worry about not getting the money.

Crouching down on the floor, he said to Jethro, "I'll give you a few more days, but you better consider it carefully because the interest grows daily. Don't even think about escaping. I'll have someone follow you all the time, and if you make even the slightest move… Since I won't get my money, anyway, so don't blame me for not keeping you alive at that time."

After walking out of the main entrance, Leanna suddenly felt weak at her knees. If Louis wasn't there to hold her, she would have stumbled to the ground.
