“You’re not even worthy to be called a human. In that case, there’s no need for me to show you any mercy,” Cecilia went on.
“Look closely! It’s stated very clearly here that if you make me move out prematurely, raise the prices, or refuse to rent me the apartment during the contractual period, you’ll have to pay me liquidated damages of one million dollars!”
At the mention of one million dollars, Samantha felt as though the sky was falling on her.
“What does this have to do with me?” she immediately rebuffed. “wasn’t the one who signed the contract with you. Find whoever it was who signed it!”
Cecilia wasn’t at all surprised by Samantha’s remark.
She nodded pensively. “Since you insist on being so stubborn, we’ll just have to go through the legal proceedings.”
With that, she stepped aside, allowing a man immaculately dressed in a suit to walk in.
“Ms. Judd, I am Ms. Young’s lawyer. Having read through the contract your husband signed, you have two options right now. You either let Ms. Young move in here and fulfil your contractual obligations, or pay her one million in liquidated damages.”
Cecilia looked smugly at Samantha. “If you refuse to take either option, we’ll have no choice but to bring you to court. Do think it through.”
With that, Cecilia left with the lawyer, not giving Samantha the chance to respond.
Samantha stared at the duplicate copy of the contract in her hand, broken. In her eyes was nothing but wrath and fury.
This also meant that she no longer had the right to sell this house!
What could she do to raise the outstanding amount?
Just then, realization dawned upon her.
Cecilia couldn’t have thought of this by herself. Otherwise, she should have found this loophole in the contract and sued her five years ago. She wouldn’t have waited till now.
Samantha called Arsen.
“Have you gotten any answers? Is she not actually dead and still alive?” she demanded coldly, her usual affable kindness all but
gone.
“Mrs. Lewis, we found signs of Ms. Lloyd being active in Yurelia City, but we can’t quite confirm that it’s her!”
Those signs, however, were enough for Samantha.
“Goes without saying that she’s the one behind all this. Arsen, find a way to lure Rachel out. Otherwise, I don’t know how long William has to be detained for!”
The longer William was kept in there, the greater the pressure she faced!
The shareholders and netizens were watching her every move. No one would pay attention to someone stuck with the police.
“Yes, ma’am. Oh, yes. I heard that something major is happening with the Lloyds recently. I think it’s about their family inheritance and the distribution of company shares. They’re calling for a shareholder meeting tomorrow.”
“Something’s happening to the Lloyds, too? Rachel must be behind it.”
Samantha decided to go to Lloyd Enterprise’s office and check things out for herself. She might just be able to find some clues.
“I’m not sure about that, Mrs. Lewis. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work. The lawyer I hired for Mr. Lewis is here. We’ll try our best to bail him out!”

Samantha’s eyes lit up at the news. “Of course, Arsen. Do what you can to get William out.”
“Still, Mrs. Lewis, I advise you to quickly settle the matters on your end. Given what I know of Mr. Lewis, he probably won’t help you suppress them.”
Samantha’s eyes dimmed once more.
“Arsen, you’ve been with William for many years. I have a question for you,” she said tentatively.
“Ask away, Mrs. Lewis,”
“If Rachel really does return, will William… Will he seek a reconciliation with her?”
