The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 403

Leland's face turned ashen when he heard those words.

"Mom! What are they talking about? Debt? Ninety million what?"

Johanna had hoped to keep her financial troubles from her son, but now that their creditors had shown up at their doorstep, she had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Son, please, get the money I saved for your future wedding!"

"Mom! What are you talking about? That's my money! Didn't you say that money was for me to buy a house when I get married? How can you just take it away?"

Leland was visibly upset, but seeing his confusion, Johanna slapped him across the face, saying, "What's more important, money or your life? Listen to me and get that money now!"

Ever since Johanna had married into the Dawson family, she had been saving money for Leland every year, amassing over thirty million in over a decade.

Though it wasn't enough to clear all their debts, using the thirty million could buy them some time.

Leland, realizing how serious the situation was as he faced the threatening group, reluctantly went upstairs to get his bank card.

The leader of the creditors glanced at Leland’s bank card and sneered, "So you still have money, huh? Playing poor with us! Listen, lady, you owe us another forty million! If you can't pay up, I'm going to make sure your son won't be able to walk again!"

"I've already given you thirty million! That's over sixty million in total! I really don't have any more money! Please, just give me three more days, I swear I'll gather the money to pay off the remaining forty million!"

Johanna pleaded earnestly, having already sold almost everything she owned, she was virtually penniless.

Now, even the money she had saved for her son's future was gone.

"We've already given you extension after extension. You want three more days? Then your debt will increase to fifty million!"
