The old man was stunned. "What?"
The old lady remained calm. "I am here to pay you back the fifty thousand dollars to you, I will also pay back the interest! However, I have also brought along the ledger that I have been using for bookkeeping in those ten years today. Every single expense is recorded on it. Taking away the expenses, we should still have savings of six hundred thousand in our house. Half of the fifty thousand dollars that I had taken should be considered mine, and the other half is yours. You also have to give me half of the six hundred thousand dollars."
Neo was suddenly terrified. "Are you...here to threaten me?"
He wholeheartedly thought that the old lady was here t o take care of him, but he did not expect that she was here to split up the properties with him. At that moment, Neo was not only feeling heartbroken from having his properties being divided and taken away, but he was more terrified that if he no longer has the care from the old lady in the future, he may not live for too long. He looked at the old lady in horror. The old lady, on the other hand, was still very calm.
In those ten years, all the anger and sadness in her heart had long been worn down into nothing by this d* mned old scoundrel who only pretended to maintain
solemnity! She calmly said, "No, I am only taking the portion that I deserved! I will also warn you in passing that if your children come to harass me again, I will call the police! If I have no other ways to deal with you, then I will kill all of you! I am already a homeless old woman, so what should I be afraid of?"
Neo was speechless.
At that moment, Zayn spoke up. "Sir, I have contacted the people from the court. They will come over to verify your fixed assets in a while. If you can't compensate Cecilia for the property settlement that she deserved, then this house of yours will be auctioned."
"You...you want to auction off my house?” asked Neo, trembling in fear.
Not only was he going to lose someone to take care of him in the future, but even his house would be auctioned?
Zayn shrugged his shoulders innocently. "Not necessarily! If you can immediately take the money out and pay Cecilia on the spot, then no one will sell your house. Even if you can't take the money out, I'm not the one who wants to sell your house anyway. It will be executed by force from the court. They will first sell your house at an auction. After they sell the house, a portion of the money will be given to Cecilia, and the remaining sum will be returned to you!"
