Chapter 311
Arabella took out her phone to answer a call, only speaking after Romeo had left, “Jack.”
[Arabella, it’s day 10! If the Murphys don’t pay up, Fiona is going to take them to court!]
Arabella remembered that.
Fiona had signed a contract with Yolanda before, hoping that Yolanda could be the spokesperson for their piano brand. But there was a clause in the contract that Yolanda couldn’t have any negative news during the contract period; otherwise, she would have to pay ten times the breach of contract penalty.
Yolanda was accused of plagiarism, violating the terms of the contract. Fiona demanded that the Murphys pay five million in compensation within ten days, or she would take the matter to court.
Today was the last day.
[Should we sit back and see how Fiona handles this?]
“It’s not time yet.” Arabella answered indifferently, “Stick to the original plan.”
[Okay.]
At this point, the Murphy family was in a bind. They had never expected that of the 8 downtown stores they planned to sell, not a single one had been sold. Ten days had passed, and there were no interested buyers.
“Could Arabella be pulling strings behind the scenes? Otherwise, how could there be no buyers for the stores in ten days?”
Olga Murphy was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, but Attlee slammed the table.
“Enough! Can you stop blaming everything on Arabella? Even if she has some connections, she can’t possibly stop all buyers from purchasing the stores! It’s a market issue, not Arabella’s problem! Why are you always targeting her?”
“Then you tell me, why can’t our stores be sold? Those are prime locations downtown! The market price is two hundred and fifty thousand each; we’ve already dropped the price to two hundred thousand!”
“You’re asking me, how would I know?” Attlee had had enough. For ten days, he had not eaten properly or slept well.
He didn’t understand why their once smooth life had turned into such a mess.
Since Arabella left the house in less than a month’s time, their life had turned upside down and become so terrible.
Attlee couldn’t help but recall the past. It seemed that the Murphys business had only started to improve and become more successful after Arabella came.
Ever since she left, everything has gone downhill.
“What should we do? In another hour, Fiona is going to sue us! They’ve already prepared the legal documents!” Olga was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. “Once they post the legal documents on their official account, everyone will know about Yolanda’s plagiarism. Not only will her reputation be affected, but even Murphys reputation will be hit.”
Attlee held his temples in pain. Listening to Olga’s nagging in his ear, his mood became even more irritable.
“In this way, the six hundred thousand we paid to Arabella before was a complete waste.”
Yolanda also started to feel scared and uneasy.”
It’s all Arabella’s fault; everything was fine at home without her.
“Can you call the real estate agent again?” Olga begged, “Only half an hour left!“.
“I called 20 minutes ago.”
