Chapter 989


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


    were all rtives 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, rtives who had little to do with her before started showing an interest in her


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


    And so, she’d lend a helping hand to her rtives from time to time


    Over the years, the Sutton family’s business had been booming


    These guys were green with envy and shamelessly get a piece of the action, making a pretty penny


    every year


    Last month was supposed to be the biannual settlement day


    These several familiesbined had millions to be settled, including costs.


    In the past the Sutton family had always settled their ounts quickly


    They present their bills on time, and after the finance department crunched the numbers, the money


    would be in their ounts within a couple of days


    But this time they’d been waiting for a month, and these ounts 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 rtives were taken aback and immediately dropped everything toe to H City


    Sis what’s the big idea? All our capital is tied up in this Davin banged on the table. My brother–inw


    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 sshing 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 outter


    “We’re family! You can’t shortchange us!”


    Everyone was pressuring Peyton to cough up the dough.


    Ever since she was assaulted by Grant, he’d been AWOL, not answering her calls addition to her


    family, other creditors had alsoe knocking


    She called the cops to get rid of them.


    But these were her rtives. She couldn’t possibly call the cops on them, could she? if she really did,


    what would they say about her behind her back?


    I''m broke” Peyton said weakly


    “What are you talking about? How can you im to be broke? What happened to all the money Paige


    gave you?” A middle-aged woman crossed her arms and hollered in disbelief


    She was a regr with Peyton. She knew Paige had given her over the years should amount to ten


    million.


    They just wanted five million.


    Peyton could definitely afford it. She just….


    She just didn’t want to give it to them!


    Tm really broke gave all my money to Grant! Peyton broke down in tears, “I can’t find him now! Stop


    pressuring me!”


    Peyton and Paige’s dad had known each other since they were sixteen.
