Chapter 559 Confess the Truth

Tom bit his lip, finally giving in to the pressure, and spoke in a shaky voice.

"Emily, if I'd known borrowing money would be such a hassle, I wouldn't have asked you!"

"Don't sweat it. I can handle it."

Hearing Tom say "I can handle it" was a rare thing.

Seeing him so scared now, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

The thrill of making someone back down without even saying a word was exhilarating. She didn't have to lift a finger.

Reflecting on it, Emily realized her previous tough approach was foolish.

Using intimidation to counterattack was way more effective!

Emily also remembered how Tom used to rely on Evelyn for everything, never showing any independence. This was her way of teaching him to back off and stop dreaming.

Now, Emily waited for Tom to reveal his true reason for coming.

Meanwhile, Candice was just as nervous as Tom.

At Patrick's house, Candice clutched her coffee tightly, her knuckles white from the pressure. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and waited quietly for Patrick to come downstairs.
