Chapter 113 Apologies and Bottom Lines

Chapter 113 Apologics and Bottom Lines

Family–that was Nancy’s bottom line.

And Wendy had crossed it. No matter what sweet words she tried to offer, Nancy wasn’t going to let this go easily.

After a pause, Nancy continued, “Yes, we were college classmates. But no amount of old friendship excuses the 3.98 million you owe. Wendy, Elsa–apologize, pay up, or we can take this to the police. Luke Group’s legal team has been bored for years. I’m sure they’d be thrilled to stretch their legs.”

Wendy was so furious she could taste rust in her mouth.

Nancy really was going to make this as painful as possible!

She didn’t want to apologize, didn’t want to pay. But she knew if Nancy pressed charges–accusing her of willfully destroying property worth millions–the Luke Group’s legal team could absolutely land her in jail.

She had no choice but to swallow her pride.

But even if she had to eat dirt herself, there was no way she’d let her proud, brilliant daughter bow to that tramp Lily.

Choking on bitterness, she forced herself to say, “Nancy, this has nothing to do with Elsa, she-”

“Nothing to do with her?”

Nancy cut her off with a mocking sneer. “What, are her eyes just two bleeding holes? She was standing right next to you and didn’t see you cut up that dress?”

“Mm. She knew you were setting Lily up and still chimed in with those sweet, poisonous words to criticize her… Your daughter is so innocent, so pure, huh?”

Nancy didn’t hold back at all.

Her words smashed Elsa’s so–called pride into the ground.

Elsa’s face turned green, then white. Her expression was utterly hideous.
