Chapter 989
Peyton slouched on the couch, surrounded by seven or eight guys and gals, all about her age. They were all relatives of hers
Truth be told, Peyton had faced hardships in her family due to their preference for sons until she met Paige’s dad. After marrying Grant Sutton, she finally became what the average person would call a rich lady
Suddenly, relatives who had little to do with her before started showing an interest in her
Peyton dug the attention from these mlatives, even if they hadn’t been good to her in the past.
And so, she’d lend a helping hand to her relatives from time to time
Over the years, the Sutton family’s business had been booming
These guys were green with envy and shamelessly get a piece of the action, making a pretty penny every year
Last month was supposed to be the biannual settlement day
These several families combined had millions to be settled, including costs.
In the past the Sutton family had always settled their accounts quickly
They present their bills on time, and after the finance department crunched the numbers, the money would be in their accounts within a couple of days
But this time they’d been waiting for a month, and these accounts still hadn’t been settled
The day before yesterday they found out from their financial assistant who had quit that the Sutton family business was going belly up
Peyton’s relatives were taken aback and immediately dropped everything to come to H City
Sis what’s the big idea? All our capital is tied up in this Davin banged on the table. My brother–in–law told us to ask Paige for the money but she won’t even answer our calls! What are we supposed to do?”
“We trusted you, and that’s why we partnered with your husband! You gotta have a conscience, sis. You’re always splashing the cash around. You even said Paige gives you loads of money every month. How about this, you give us our money first, and then you and your husband can sort things out later
But these were her relatives. She couldn’t possibly call the cops on them, could she?
if she really did, what would they say about her behind her back?
