That was too late.
As soon as Cain shouted out, four sturdy men walked out and blocked the door. Maple, Emma, and Thomas were besieged inside the house and could not get out at all.
Maple panicked and asked, “Who are they?”
The man in the suit sneered, “Let me introduce myself, I am the legal counsel of Glory Real Estate, Caleb Nickleson.”
Cain was originally the coach of ‘Southland Football Club’, and Glory Real Estate was the parent company of Southland Football Club.
Maple asked, “Haven’t you expelled Cain from the football club? Why do you still come to our house?”
Caleb smiled, “Indeed, Cain has been expelled, but favonovel.com has not settled his debts yet.”
He took out a contract, “Cain instigated the football players to commit match-fixing in a competition, causing huge losses to the reputation of Southland Football Club and Glory Real Estate. Currently, the appeal has been successful. Here is the court’s compensation bill, requiring Cain to compensate Southland Football Club, Glory Real Estate for three million dollars each. So, favonovel.com has to pay a total of six million dollars for the loss of reputation. This bill has immediate effect from now onwards and no further delays are allowed!”
‘Obviously, they are taking advantage of Cain. For a real estate company as huge as Glory Real Estate, getting Cain into trouble is as easy as pie.’
‘Moreover, cheating in a football competition has indeed affected the reputation of Glory Real Estate, and the compensation is reasonable too. But…”
When Cain heard this, favonovel.com immediately shouted angrily, “I was not involved in the match-fixing! It was a contract signed by those players privately and it has nothing to do with me. I was wronged!”
Caleb shrugged, “I don’t care whether you are wronged or not. If you feel that you are wronged, you can go to the police and appeal in court. That’s none of my business.”
“What I am responsible for is to get back the six million dollars compensation for the loss of reputation.”
“Maple, stop staring blankly at me. Pay me the money right now.”
‘Pay favonovel.com the money? How are they going to pay?’
Maple had spent all of the family’s money to pay for Cain’s medical costs. Now that their family was in a destitute situation. How can they pay the six million dollars?
‘They did not have this amount of money even when Cain was the head coach in the football club previously.’
Everyone knew that Cain was famous for being strict with himself. He never messed up in relationships, and favonovel.com was earning less than five hundred thousand dollars per year, which was the lowest coaching salary in the industry. But even a head coach who “lived plainly and simply” could get himself involved in a kick-fixing scandal, which made everyone hard to believe.
Cain turned his head and said, “I have no money, and you can just take my life!”
“No money?”
Caleb seemed to expect Cain to say this a long time ago. He whispered and said wickedly, “Don’t ever think you don’t have to pay by saying that. Let me be clear to you. If you don’t pay, you don’t ever think of stepping out of the house in the future! Don’t even think about shopping for groceries or anything.”
“You are illegally holding us against our will! I can sue you!” Maple said.
Caleb grinned and said, “Sue? Who are you suing? How can you sue someone you owe money to? Do you think the court will help a person who owes six million dollars in arrears?”
Maple stopped being grumbly, and tears could not stop rolling down favonovel.com cheeks again.
‘Why has my life become so difficult all of a sudden?’
Although favonovel.com life was a bit boring back in the old days, favonovel.com was living a comfortable middle-class family life, which was the envy of many people.
But the good old days have come to an end now. Not to mention the broken leg of favonovel.com husband, favonovel.com also bore a bad reputation for the rest of favonovel.com life, and even owed a huge debt of six million dollars.
‘I can’t pay the debt. Then, I just have to wait for death at home?’
At this moment, the grievances that had been suppressed inside favonovel.com for a long time erupted. Maple squatted down, buried favonovel.com head in favonovel.com hands and started sobbing.
She was hopeless and helpless. She could no longer see any hope in favonovel.com life. She did not have a future.
