The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 915

Grant chuckled on the other side of the phone, "Paige, you got it all wrong. Your mom came willingly. I tried to stop her, but she insisted, saying you're her daughter and it's your duty and responsibility."

Paige's gaze stayed on Peyton, "Really? You didn't force her?"

"Of course not! You know me, I'm not that kind of person. But yeah, it's true that our investors pulled out, causing a financial shortage and we couldn't pay the workers. Your mom's freaking out about it. Look... if you have the money, just lend it to us, and I'll pay you back later."

Paige chuckled and hung up the phone.

"I'll only ask you once," Paige stared intently at Peyton, "Did he force you, or did you come to me on your own?"

Peyton looked at her, tears rolling down her face, "Uncle Sutton and I... we're family," she sobbed.

"Answer me!" Paige demanded, "If you want the money, tell me the truth!"

Peyton pouted and reluctantly told the truth, "If I didn't come, he'd divorce me..."

Paige took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, "So what's wrong with divorce? I've given you so much money, and you have all those jewels and houses..."

"I can't handle a divorce!" Peyton shook her head, crying.

Paige clenched her fists, "I need to think about this," she said solemnly.

"How long?" Peyton asked anxiously.

"President Owens, we don't have much time..."

"7 million? You think it's just gonna fall from the sky?" Paige cut off the thug's words.

From her experience, this guy was definitely someone Logan Sutton found to scare Peyton and herself.

"What's with your attitude? Are you..." the thug's eyes widened when he heard Paige speaking so rudely.

"What attitude should I have when you're trying to rob me?" Paige stared fearlessly at him, "If you dare to touch me, you won't get a single cent."
