Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Given his previous experiences of being turned away, Zane didn't immediately open the door. Instead, he looked through the peephole.
Outside stood two men in suits.
On the phone, his wife, Lily, was still speaking hesitantly, clearly frightened.
The doorbell rang again, making Zane jump. He said, "Don't do anything: I have something to deal with here."
He hung up and then opened the door.
"Who are you?"
One of the men in suits extended his hand with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Looney. I'm Desmond, the executive assistant of the CEO of DK Group. This is lawyer Charles Dean. We have something we need to discuss with you. Is this a convenient time?"
Zane looked at them warily. They weren't the landlords here to evict him, so what did they want?
Zane stepped aside. "Come in."
Desmond nodded slightly and entered the house with Charles.
Seated on the sofa, Charles placed two documents on the coffee table.
Zane asked, "What are these?"
Desmond smiled and said, "Mr. Looney, I believe you've noticed the six hundred thousand dollars that appeared in your account?"
Zane's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "How do you know about that?"
Desmond replied, "The funds were sent by us. Additionally, here is a check for 1.5 million. If you leave Cloudflare City and sign these two agreements, the money is yours.”
He took out a card and placed it beside the documents..
Zane's eyes widened in shock. He picked up the documents and began reading them, realizing they were two guarantee letters.
One document was a promise not to frequent the Tudor family's properties, and the other was an agreement to renounce his parental rights to Bobby.
Zane's face grew darker. "What do you mean? Are you trying to buy my son's life with two million
dollars?"
Despite Zane showing hostility, Desmond kept smiling. "Mr. Looney, please stay calm. Everything is negotiable. The items Bobby stole are worth over forty million, which is enough to keep him in prison for life. I think you should take a look."
He produced another document listing the prices of various valuable items.
"Impossible!” Zane said firmly, not even glancing at the document. "Bobby may only be a driver, but he would never steal!"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Desmond's smile faded slightly. He took out a tablet and played a surveillance video.
"Mr. Zane, this is the entire process of Bobby stealing."
Zane's expression nearly crumbled, but he picked up the tablet and watched intently.
In the video, Bobby sneaked into a luxurious house and came out a while later with his arms full of
items
Desmond then produced another document. These are the sale records and photos of the items he sold."
Zane's face fell instantly, and his hands began to tremble. "How... how is this possible?"
Desmond said, "Mr. Zane, the Tudors haven't turned him over to the police because his mistake is severe, and they won't let him off easily. To avoid any further complications, I advise you to sign these two agreements and leave Cloudflare City. This way, you can protect yourself and your wife."
By this point, his words carried an unmistakable tone of threat.
