Gladys could only wring her hands anxiously.
The whole family was in a state of panic.
Just when they thought they were anxious enough, the Xenoses lawyer’s letter was here to make things worse.
It accused Thea of unlawfully possessing the wealth of others and misappropriating 500 million dollars. It demanded that she return the funds within a certain time frame. Otherwise, she’d be prosecuted in court.
As the saying goes when it rains, it pours.
Before they could even pay off David’s debts, the Xenos had transferred the money in Thea’s bank account away.
The Callahans were in a full-blown crisis.
They gathered.
No one was able to utter a single word. The atmosphere was suffocating.
“Think of something, mom.” Desperate, Alyssa broke the silence.
There was nothing Gladys could do.
What could she have done?
They owed the Xenos 500 million. Add that to the 800 million loans and the interests and the amount they needed was astronomical. Even if they sold the Callahans’ Eternality Group, they still would not have enough.
“You’re David’s only hope, Thea.” Gladys looked at Thea mournfully.
“How?!”
Thea cried out.
The money was not hers in the first place. It was only natural that the Xenoses wanted it back.
However, David had stolen 500 million from her bank account, and she was forced to pay back his debt. She didn’t even have 500 million for David at the moment, let alone one billion.
“Thea, don’t you know a bunch of rich men? Try sleeping with them. That way, you can…”
Slap!
Thea slapped hard Alyssa across the face and snarled, “Why am I supposed to clean up the mess your husband created? If you’re so desperate, why don’t you sleep with them?”
Alyssa burst into tears.
“I would if they wanted me. How would those powerful men even be interested in someone like me?”
“She’s right, Thea. I’m begging you.”
David knelt on the floor again.
“Surely you can’t just stand idly by while I get beaten to death, right? Go find the Black Dragon. Isn’t he the chairman of Majestic Corporation? Isn’t he filthy rich? What about Mr. Watson? He’s a wealthy man too. Go spend the night with them. If you’re able to do them, I won’t have to suffere.”
“You…!”
