I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 897

Chapter 897: This is Karma

Felix continued, "Just because someone dies doesn't mean there's no evidence. Who knows if what you're saying is true?"

"Felix! I asked you to speak for me. Whose side are you on?" Old Raymond looked at Felix.

Felix looked at Old Raymond and said, "I know you called me here to speak for you, but do you really have the means to spend this money if you get it?"

Old Raymond was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"If Mitch has been to the city, and you baselessly claim that he borrowed one hundred thousand from you, and he transfers the money to you, you could be sued for extortion. You would not only have to repay the one hundred thousand to Mitch and his family, but also face legal consequences." Felix spoke seriously to Old Raymond.

Although Old Raymond had been living in this village, he had some knowledge about legal matters. Especially with Zane standing nearby, Old Raymond suddenly felt uncertain.

Taking advantage of Old Raymond's momentary confusion, Felix nudged Mitch with his elbow, indicating that he should say something to intimidate Old Raymond.

Mitch didn't expect Felix to take his side. He was initially stunned but then repeated what Felix had said. "Uncle, you're right. I can give you the money, but in the end, I will still go through legal procedures. If you can't prove that my dad borrowed one hundred thousand from you, then it's extortion on your part! Think it over!"

Felix's words had shaken Old Raymond, and now hearing Mitch's words, Old Raymond felt even more uncertain.

After hesitating for a moment, Old Raymond snorted. "Stop trying to scare me. I won't be easily intimidated by you!"

"Fine, let Mitch give you the money. Transfer it to my phone right now, and once it's done, I'll take you to get it. But remember, if the police come knocking at your door later, don't say I didn't warn you about the seriousness of the situation!" Felix said, taking out his phone from his pocket and handing it to Mitch. "Come on, transfer the money now!"

While speaking, Felix discreetly gestured to Mitch.

Understanding the signal, Mitch took out his phone and pretended to transfer money to Felix.

Just as Mitch raised his hand, Old Raymond suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Felix's hand, pulling it towards himself. "Superstitious! I'll help you choose an auspicious day. But first, you have to give me some of the money!"

Seeing that Old Raymond had eased up a bit, Mitch said, "You calculate the auspicious day first. I'll have Payne bring the money later."

Old Raymond grumbled and turned to walk inside. "Come in."

Those were Old Raymond's words to Mitch.

Mitch nodded and then turned to Zane, whispering, "Mr. Lawrence, you and Payne can go down first. Yanis isn't feeling well, and with the weather changing after the rain, I don't want him catching a cold."

Zane looked at Mitch and asked, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

"I'll be fine. You go down first." After speaking to Zane, Mitch turned to Payne, Taylor, and Reed. "You all can go down together. I'll come down on my own later."

Reed glanced in the direction Old Raymond had left. "I'll wait for you to come down together."

Taylor and Payne also chimed in, "We'll wait for you too. Let Mr. Lawrence go back with Yanis first."

Mitch frowned and looked at Zane.

"We'll wait outside together," Zane said. He knew it was better to wait and go down together in this situation. If anything happened later, they wouldn't be able to catch up in time if they were coming from above. It was better to go down together.

Mitch heard Zane's words and didn't say anything more. "Then you take Yanis to wait in the yard. It's more sheltered from the wind there."

Zane nodded. "You go inside first."
