Chapter 218 Demanding Money
“That's certainly not the case, Naomi. We've known each other for years, why
wouldn't we tell you?”
Agnes smiled awkwardly and added, “We just moved in and haven't tidied up
everything. I was planning to inform you in a day or two.”
When she moved into Horizon Mirror with her family, she indeed did not want the
Laime family to know, but she could not escape them forever.
The three of them waited for her outside the house and when she returned from
grocery shopping, they caught her.
Naomi grunted and scoffed, “Agnes, are you taking us as fools? We called you
and asked if you've moved, but you stammered!
“I know what you're thinking. You don’t want us to know that you moved into a big
house so we can’t get money from you. But can you run from us forever? Don’t
forget you are the reason my daughter is dead! You owed us! And you can never
ever repay us!”
She slammed the tea table suddenly, startling Agnes.
Her words pried open Agnes’ old scar.
“Yes, I understand, Naomi. It was my mistake. I accidentally caused Letty’s
death. I am sorry...”
Her eyes teared up as she apologized profusely.
Darcy and Sky felt terrible when they saw their mother bow repeatedly.
The scene had happened countless times for the past five years.
Even the two of them had done the same.

They could not do anything since they owed the Laime family their daughter's
life.
“Ma, stop wasting time on her. If her apology worked, Letty would have come
back to life.”
Larry crossed his legs on the tea table and then he looked at Darcy and her
family. He said, “I'll be straightforward. I want some money to
start a business.”
“How much do you want, Larry?”
Agnes had seen this coming. All she could do was find out the amount and then
send the family off.
From the moment they stepped into the house, the living hall became smokey
and dirty.
“A million.” Larry waved his finger.
“A million?” Agnes was surprised.
The Laime family asked for money many times before, ranging from fifty-odd
thousand to a few hundred thousand.
Agnes could not do anything and went to borrow money just to fulfill their
demands.
This time, Larry asked for an exorbitant amount.
Ptooey!

Ten million?
Lance was missing one zero, but Agnes would never tell him the real price of
Horizon Mirror.
Naomi chimed in, “Agnes, your daughter is now the CEO of
Quintessential Group. She has all the money of the company, I'm sure she can
come up with a million.”
“That money belongs to the company!” Darcy argued.
“I don't care whose money!” Naomi shouted at Darcy.

His words silenced the living hall.
Naomi bolted up from the couch like a cat's tail being stepped on. Who the fuck
are you, punk? What are you talking about?”
“He is Darcy's stupid husband.”
Larry got on his feet and stared at Kaze. “You useless piece of fuck, this is no
place for you to make noise!”
