Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 258

Lisa, of course, hadn't told the entire truth. She was indeed under threat, but it wasn't because of gambling debts. The real reason was something she could never voice out loud. So, she had to find an excuse.

Leah and Jacob were both beside themselves with anger. Half an hour later, they had somewhat calmed down. Jacob swallowed several heart pills in quick succession, fearing a relapse.

Lisa stood in a corner, quietly crying.

Chloe was watching the drama unfold, and seemed quite satisfied. "Dad," Chloe said, "since Lisa has already sold her shares, there's nothing I can do."

Jacob was furious. "Are you trying to kill me too? Would you be happy only if the Meadows family goes bankrupt?"

Chloe responded calmly, "If the Meadows family goes bankrupt, it wouldn't be because of me. You don't need to take your anger out on me."

"What do you want? What will convince you to help us?" Jacob asked.

"Dad, getting Miss Y to drop the lawsuit is not easy. I don't know how much it's going to cost," Chloe said, looking towards Lisa in the corner. "Lisa sold her stocks for thirty million. I don't ask for more. Just give me that thirty million, and I'll help the company this one time."

Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief. Though the shares were sold, thirty million wasn't a significant amount for the company. He had anticipated that getting someone like Miss Y to drop the lawsuit and settle would cost a considerable sum. Thirty million was within his expectations.

"I'll give you the thirty million," Jacob said.
