You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 201

A group of policemen and members of the Business Association showed up at the nightclub, locking it down and putting it under investigation due to a report that was lodged against them for allegedly selling illegal liquor. The liquor, costing up to millions, was then

discovered in the warehouse of the club.

Not only were the fake goods confiscated, a fine was also imposed upon the nightclub by the Business Association, as per accordance to the law. It was not a small number, ranging up from more than 50% to less than three times the market price of the authentic goods. Due to the huge amount of the confiscated goods, the operating license of nightclub was also suspended.

It was hell of a day for Tommy. His club was locked down, his cash ran dry and he almost got himself a court case. If Deborah had not sought Steven's help, things would have turned out even worse.

Compared to Tommy, who had lost all money, Logan and Deborah fared better, but they still lost all of their shops that they had worked so hard to build. They only had one last beauty salon under them before they would go completely broke.

Loraine gave her son a good scolding for not having proper savings for the house, but even she knew that it was futile. The money they had lost would never come back.

The mother and son were restless for the next few days. Tommy did not even have a place to stay, opting to rent a room for the time being.

At the same time, Edric closed his eyes as he rested on a sofa of the luxurious lounge of After Dark. He delighted at the thought of how things had progressed at a promising pace and how ugly things had turned out for Loraine, her son and Deborah.

He wondered how they felt now that they had lost all of their investments. Did they regret it although it was already too late? If he could see their faces at that moment, he would have asked them to be rest assured. He had plenty of plans to let them experience a life worse than death.

At first, Edric's plan only involved Loraine and her son. Edric was the one who had asked Director Lewis to ensure Tommy was fired from his job, enabling a jobless Tommy to seek his old friends out for some comfort. He held nothing back and told them everything about his plans to start a business.

Edric had then told Tommy's friends to encourage him to open up a nightclub. He knew that Tommy was penniless and that he would ask Loraine to seek help from Deborah. It turned out that Deborah also lacked sufficient funds and was hesitant to lend such a huge sum of money to Loraine.

The nightclub business had always been generating a steady stream of income and coupled with Deborah's greed, she would never let the opportunity go. Edric would first let those greedy people pay the price after they got entangled in his trap.

Edric owed his thanks to Irene to be able to come up with such a meticulous plan against Deborah. The latter had called him after hearing Jordan mention about Deborah having an affair. It came as a huge shock to him.

He immediately began his investigation and found out the truth about Logan. The man owned several shops and they were doing pretty well. It was clear as day that he had immense support behind him and Edric guessed that the supporter had to be Deborah herself. He had to admit how cunning and sinister Deborah was. On one hand, she had coaxed Steven, while on the other, she had an affair with another man. Edric had been looking for ways to bring her down and now he finally possessed one. Dealing with her in the future would be a lot easier with the news of her affair.

However, Edric would sit back and enjoy the show for now. He would watch as those people lost their hard-earned cash. Humans would usually lose their rationality once they were tempted. Deborah was going to suffer for quite sometime.
