The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Attlee came home looking pretty bummed out.

Olga Murphy took one look at him and gasped, “What on earth happened to you? Did the Collins family lay hands on you?”

They’re all big shots. How could they stoop so low as to mess with the richest man in Tranquil City?

Talk about uncivilized!

“It was two security guards.” Attlee didn’t feel like elaborating.

“I can’t believe Arabella would dare to air Yoli’s dirty laundry in public!”

Attlee sighed heavily without saying a word. He knew Arabella’s character all too well. When push came to shove, she wouldn’t hesitate to throw her family under the bus.

It was nine o’clock at night, and Attlee’s 14 stores and four mansions were still on the market.

Melody’s lawyer called. “Sir, if we don’t receive your compensation by midnight, we’ll have no choice but to expose your daughter’s plagiarism of Melody’s work”

“Wait, give me some more time. I can’t control the fact that these properties aren’t selling.”

“You’ve got three hours left.” The lawyer said this before hanging up.

Attlee was freaking out. He had been trying to sell his properties for three days without any luck. How was he supposed to sell them in three hours? And who would househunt or shop for commercial properties in the middle of the night? And pay the full amount at once?

He hurriedly called the agent. “What’s the holdup? Why can’t we sell these properties?”

“Sir, it might be because the price is too high and you’re asking for full payment upfront.”

14 stores and four mansions valued at 18 million were hardly affordable to the average Joe.
