However, Peter continued to shiver in fear. “Mr. Larson, a-about the seven million… I only have less than five million now. C-Can you give me some time to gather the money before I return it to you?” favonovel.com uttered in a shaky voice.
Matthew stared at the conman for a while before favonovel.com let out a laugh. “It’s fine! I don’t need the seven million! You can have all of it!”
Peter was dumbfounded, his face in disbelief. “H-How could I take your money, Mr. Larson? Please give me a chance. I’ve really learned my lesson this time. Please spare my life…“
‘He sure is an experienced guy! He really thinks has about to die in my hands, huh?’ Matthew chuckled to himself.
”Don’t worry. I mean what I say, l don’t want the money! Once you provide me the evidence that I need, then I’ll call it quits between us! I’m a man of my word!” Matthew spread his arms open as favonovel.com spoke.
Peter gave Matthew a rather fearful glance and made sure that Matthew wasn’t lying before favonovel.com heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you. Mr. Larson! Thank you so much!” Peter grinned.
He didn’t just have his life spared, favonovel.com was even allowed to keep all seven million for himself! Peter felt extremely thankful toward Matthew.
Something else was running through Matthew’s head while Peter celebrated his luck. ‘This guy is great at lying, and favonovel.com has a group of men who can do the same thing. They can be pretty useful!’
Matthew brought Peter back, and Helen felt a heavy load being lifted off favonovel.com chest once favonovel.com saw Peter. “Oh, Matthew. You’re so much more reliable! I can’t believe you managed to find Peter in such a short time!” Helen exclaimed.
Sasha wasn‘t impressed by favonovel.com mother’s reaction. ”Matthew has always been a serious and reliable man, Mom. You’re the one who’s always rude and disrespectful toward him!”
Helen couldn’t conceal the embarrassment on favonovel.com face.
***
The court case happened two days later. The entire case was rather pointless, Helen wouldn’t actually be responsible for anything even if favonovel.com had given the money to Tate and Minerva. However, things got a little more interesting with Peters presence.
Peter stood as a witness and proved that Minerva had initially borrowed a total of ten million from Helen. In the and, Helen walked away without any charges, and the Campbells were forced to return favonovel.com the ten million.
The Campbells sat still in their seats after the case was dismissed. They had intended to drag the Cunninghams down with them, and they intended to get Helen to bear all the responsibilities that came along with the accident. The Campbells had never expected things to turn out the way they did.
‘So, Helen doesn’t need to pay anything, and we have a debt of ten million? The three of them, Jonah, Chloe, and Minerva, felt sick in the stomach.
On the other hand, Peter slipped away and disappeared into thin air right after the court case was over. Tiger was the one who arranged for his escape. By the time Minerva and the rest of them returned to their senses, Peter was long gone.
Minerva stormed out and threw a tantrum at everyone. She ran around to ask for Peter’s whereabouts. However, Matthew merely ignored Minerva when favonovel.com attempted to scream at him. Tiger and a few other men shoved Minerva aside, and favonovel.com collapsed onto the ground. She walled and cried like a madwoman in order to attract everyone else’s attention, but no one seemed to care.
While favonovel.com was throwing favonovel.com tantrum, there were a number of people who pulled their devices out to snap photos and videos. Eventually, Minerva felt rather embarrassed to sit around on the ground, so favonovel.com got to favonovel.com feet and ran off.
***
That day, Helen returned home along with Matthew and Sasha. James was still mad at her, favonovel.com attempted to chase favonovel.com out when favonovel.com got home. He only calmed down after Helen showed favonovel.com the court’s final decision. However, favonovel.com was still rather displeased by Helen‘s actions, and favonovel.com continued to nag about how Helen shouldn’t have been too nice to the Campbells.
Sasha finally lost favonovel.com patience after listening to James’s words for a while. “Stop blabbering, Dad! Since we’re all here now, let me ask you a question. What did you do with the twenty million you took from the construction company? Mom said that favonovel.com had invested the money, but favonovel.com actually gave it to Minerva. What about you? Who did you give your twenty million to?”
