The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 247

"Dude. He's saying that he'll consider buying it only if it's six million. Otherwise, he's off to bed."

"Say what? Six million?" Attlee was almost jumping out of his skin.

"Yes, if it's six million, he'll pay in full. Otherwise, he's calling it a night."

Attlee was fit to be tied. Just when he was about to say 'no deal', Olga fell to her knees, pleading quietly, "Six million is okay. As long as we have a glimmer of hope, we're not dead in the water."

The clock was ticking; it was already 11:55 p.m.

With a heavy heart, Attlee gritted his teeth and said, "Sold!"

"Thank God!" The agent heaved a sigh of relief and quickly arranged the deal.

By 11:58 p.m., Attlee's phone pinged with a transfer of six million.

"Quick, transfer the money to that girl." Olga hurriedly said, "Time is running out!"

Holding back tears, Attlee transferred the money just as the clock struck midnight.

Olga and Yolanda quickly checked online. No news. Arabella didn't blow the whistle on the plagiarism!

They could finally breathe easy.

Attlee, however, was distraught. The property, initially worth eighteen million, had been sold for only six million!

What a rip-off!

He held his head in his hands in utter despair.

Olga knew they still had a debt of five million to repay and would have to sell more properties.
