“Chester, I’m here to inform you, not negotiate. You have no room for bargaining. You either break ties with my family or leave Pyralis. It’s your choice.” Ivor sounded calm, but Chester still felt his coldness.
Although the latter felt scared, he gathered the courage to plead with Ivor, “Can you give us another chance? We’ll discipline Eloise properly this time and prevent her from doing such reckless things again.”
“I thought I gave you a chance before. You didn’t cherish it,” Ivor said, “Again, do you want to break ties with my family or leave Pyralis? If you choose the former, I’ll make it happen now.”
If not for the long-standing friendship of the Gallagher and Knight families, Chester would probably have bankrupted his family by now. However, Ivor offered Chester a choice, which was merciful enough.
Chester looked into Ivor’s cold eyes and knew he could not negotiate. Soon after, the former sighed and lowered his head in defeat. “Give us three days, Ivor. We’ll pack up and leave as soon as possible.”
Ivor responded, “I hope you keep your word. If you and your family fail to do what I asked, I will take action.”
Chester sighed again, looking resigned. “Rest assured, I will keep my word.”
“Hmm,” Ivor hummed and returned to his Maybach. “Floyd, let’s head back.”
“Right away, boss.”
Sharron began to cry as she watched the car leave her sight. “It’s over for our family!”
