Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 219

Chapter 219:

“We’re not leaving today until we see the cash!” the thin man retorted, folding his arms and positioning himself behind the tattooed man.

Their intimidating presence drew the attention of the office staff, who began to peek and whisper among themselves.

Noticing this, Eileen put her phone away and stated firmly, “Privately borrowing money isn’t illegal, but charging exorbitant interest is. Turning a debt of fifty thousand into five hundred thousand, with interest multiplied tenfold, is beyond legal limits—”

She intended to verify with Milford whether he had actually borrowed the initial fifty thousand.

However, before she could finish, the tattooed man pulled another document from his pocket and slammed it onto the table with confidence. “I expected you to use the law against me. I’ve been in this business long enough to know how things work. Without that knowledge, I would have faced significant losses long ago,” he said.

The receptionist bravely approached and examined the paper on the table. It stipulated that unless Milford’s payment was satisfactory to the tattooed man, he could refuse the money and require Milford to work off his debt for two years. The document did not specify an exact amount due; it only stated that it must please the tattooed man.

“You’re a smart person, and I don’t want to complicate things for you. How about this…” the tattooed man proposed with a smirk as he stood up. “By this time tomorrow, bring either the cash or Milford himself.”

With that, he and his crew departed, leaving Eileen to endure the disapproving looks from some of the staff at the educational institution.

Those looks made Eileen furrow her brow. She told the receptionist, “Clean up here. Everyone else, please continue with your duties.”

She then ascended to the second floor, gathered her documents, and left for home.

Her hurried departure did not go unnoticed. The tattooed man in the van captured it on camera, sending the photos to Zola. He expressed his gratitude to Zola, confident that Eileen would find a way to produce the money.

Zola quickly called him, saying, “I’ll provide the five hundred thousand. Don’t accept her money. Just make Milford drop out and join your crew.”

This left the tattooed man in shock. “Are you really Milford’s sister? Having him work with us for two years, even before he turns eighteen, would ruin his future.”

The tattooed man was more interested in the money than ruining a young life, and he wondered about Zola’s motives.

“That’s none of your concern. I’ll send you the money. Just don’t take Eileen’s money. By setting the price so high, they’ll have to give up the idea of repaying.” With that, Zola hung up the phone.

Inside the van, everyone listened to the conversation, exchanging puzzled glances.

The thin man cautiously inquired, “Boss, what does she mean? What should we do now?”
