The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 989

Peyton slouched on the couch, surrounded by seven or eight guys and gals, all about her age. They were all relatives of hers.

Truth be told, Peyton had faced hardships in her family due to their preference for sons until she met Paige's dad. After marrying Grant Sutton, she finally became what the average person would call a rich lady.

Suddenly, relatives who had little to do with her before started showing an interest in her.

Peyton dug the attention from these relatives, even if they hadn't been good to her in the past.

And so, she'd lend a helping hand to her relatives from time to time.

Over the years, the Sutton family's business had been booming.

These guys were green with envy and shamelessly got a piece of the action, making a pretty penny every year.

Last month was supposed to be the biannual settlement day.

These several families combined had millions to be settled, including costs.

In the past, the Sutton family had always settled their accounts quickly.

They'd present their bills on time, and after the finance department crunched the numbers, the money would be in their accounts within a couple of days.

But this time, they'd been waiting for a month, and these accounts still hadn’t been settled.

The day before yesterday, they found out from their financial assistant who had quit that the Sutton family business was going belly up.

Peyton’s relatives were taken aback and immediately dropped everything to come to H City.

"Sis, what's the big idea? All our capital is tied up in this!" Davin banged on the table, "My brother-in-law told us to ask Paige for the money, but she won't even answer our calls! What are we supposed to do?"

"We trusted you, and that's why we partnered with your husband! You gotta have a conscience, sis. You're always splashing the cash around. You even said Paige gives you loads of money every month. How about this, you give us our money first, and then you and your husband can sort things out later!"
