Chapter 590

Florence and Victoria came for Terrence to get their money back. In fact,

they were prepared to resort to

violence to get things done, ready to teach him a lesson the moment Terre

nce tried to

pull anything funny. However, they had not foreseen that he would readily

admit his mistakes and even humbly tell them that he would pay them for t

heir loss. For a moment, both of them were unsure if he really was a swin

dler. Could it be possible that Terrence was indeed innocent?

"If you truly are a victim too, Terrence, where would you get the money t

o pay us back?" Florence

was doubtful.

"Indeed, I do not have the money right now, but I can borrow some from pe

ople around me." Terrence sighed before he continued, "I've got some conn

ections here in Millsburg, and I have plenty of friends. Did you see thos

e people who were here with me earlier on? I invited them here for a meal

so that I could borrow some money from them to pay you your loss."

Florence and Victoria were moved by his words. They were impressed by his

resolution to pay them their money and even went as far as to borrow mon

ey from others. From the looks of things,

they had misunderstood him. "Have you gotten any money from them

yet, Terrence?" Victoria mellowed down and asked cautiously.

"I have, and it's just enough to cover your loss." Terrence nodded.

"Well, we're not in a rush to get the money back. You can take your time.

It's good to see that

you're fine." Victoria smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, that's right! We were too impulsive and misunderstood you. Please d

on't take it to heart."

Florence quickly added.

"Oh, it's all my fault. I'm the one who's brought you trouble. A man shou

ld make right what he's done wrong. I'll transfer you the money now." Ter

rence took out his phone and was about to make

the transaction.

"Hey! We're all family! What's

the rush?" Florence smiled radiantly at him. "My bank account

number is 622700030…"

"Wait a minute!" Terrence suddenly stopped midway

through typing in his password and pretended as if he had just thought of

something. I can give you your money back, but the ownership of the plot

of land with the abandoned construction should be transferred back to me

."

"Why would you want that? It's basically worthless, Victoria asked.

"It's not about how much it's worth. Since I'm borrowing money from my fr

iends, it only makes

sense that I give them something as collateral, and I think that piece

of land will work just fine."

Terrence explained earnestly.

"I see…" Victoria nodded and continued, "But the ownership of that piece

of land is no longer with

us."

"It's not with you?" Terrence's eyes widened. "Did you sell it?"

"That's right!" Victoria grinned gleefully. "We sold that piece of land t

o a gullible person."

"Who was it? Who was the one that bought it?" Terrence leaped out of his

seat anxiously. Damn it!

been trying to locate my friend to get him to pay back the money that he

ripped off of you! I've been doing that for you!"

"You claim to be so righteous, but where's our money?" Florence demanded.

She wasn't going to believe his big talk anymore. If he did not return t

heir money, everything he said was as good as

trash.

"My friend has disappeared without a trace. I suspect that he has long si

nce fled to another city." Terrence sighed deeply.

"Hah! I knew you were going to say that!" Florence smiled sardonically.

"Although my friend has run off with your money, I'll take full responsib

ility for the money you've

lost!" He declared righteously with a resolute demeanor.

Everyone was taken aback by his words, and they all had an astonished exp

ression on their faces. It was beyond their expectation that he would tak

e responsibility for the matter, as they thought that he would deny every

thing.

"So, what you're saying is that you'll pay us our

money?" Victoria asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Terrence nodded earnestly. "I may be a victim too, but at th

e end of the day, all of you

were implicated only because of me, so I'll pay you what you lost in full

!"

Well. Florence and Victoria exchanged a sheepish glance. For a moment, ne

ither of them knew

how to react.
