Chapter 396
“Ms. Lambert, this is all so sudden. Did something happen? Ariana asked.
No matter how terrible the circumstance she was in, Gwen would never tell Ariana that she had borrowed money from loan sharks. It was part of the Torreys‘ principles to over come into contact with them.
If word about this got out, Gwen would never be able to live it down. Ariana might even use it against her to kick her out of the family.
Ariana knew from the beginning that Gwen would never come clean to her about the loan sharks. She just smiled and said, “I’ll send a contract to you. Once you put your signature on it, the contract will immediately go into effect. I’ll have someone in the finance department transfer the money to you.
“However, Ms. Lambert, please be informed this also means that you and Igor will give up the right to all of the inheritance my father left behind ”
Being face to face with the terrifying loan sharks, Gwen couldn’t even spare a moment to think about the consequences of signing the contract. “Fine! I’ll sign the contract. I’ll sign it right now!”
Ariana promptly sent the contract over to Gwen’s phone. Gwen wasn’t even in the right mind to look over the details of the contract. She signed it without another word.

Gwen didn’t dare go against Jeremy’s orders. She nearly sprinted up the staircase in her rush to get to her safe. She prabbed everything and anything that had value.
Carson had gifted her these luxurious goods and precious jewelry when he was still alive. Even though many years had passed since then, Gwen had always thought them too precious to wear. She had only worn them once, during Igor’s birthday celebration.
“Are these… Are these enough?”
Gwen handed her treasures over to Jeremy.
Jeremy had only glanced at them for a second before he grabbed Gwen’s collar. He shouted, “You scheming bitch! You have the guts to hide your valuables from me? I know there’s more than this! Go and get everything that own. Just this few is far from enough!”
Gwen was scared out of her wits by Jeremy. She had indeed fried to hide some of the jewelry. But she was too frightened to wonder how Jeremy knew she hadn’t given everything up.

In the end, Gwen had to discard her sentimentality and hand over every valuable that she owned, including some branded bags and clothes.
“What about the mommy’s boy? Get his things for me too.
Igor had always lived an extravagant lifestyle. Whenever he went shopping, he never looked at the price tags. He owned many limited–edition cars and shoes and even had clothes that were hand–signed by celebrities. All of his
