Chapter 97


    Chapter 97


    “That leaves only one possibility, money!”


    Leonardo’s eyes narrowed, a glimmer of insight flickering in his gaze. Then he slowly told Roslind the


    information he had found about Lacy.


    Lucy came from an ordinary family. Her parents had already retired and were in poor health. She had a


    younger brother who was still studying in school, and the entire family’s financial burden fell on Lucy’s


    shoulders.


    Lucy’s parents were frugal, and her younger brother was obedient. With some effort from Lucy, their


    family’s life was good.


    However, not long ago. Lury’s younger brother, Keh, started dating an extravagant girl who


    demanded branded bags. Keh’s girlfriend threatened to break up with him if Kennedi didn’t buy her


    a bag


    Keh didn’t have the money and knew about their family’s situation and Lucy’s hardships, so he


    didn’t dare ask Lacy for money. He had no choice but to find predatory lending.


    Predatory lending was all interest-bearing, and the loan worth 20 thousand became 200 thousand


    within two months.


    Unable to repay the money. Keh broke up with his girlfriend, and under immense pressure, he


    couldn’t hear to share the situation with his family and jumped off a building.


    Unexpectedly, he didn’t die but became paralyzed from the waist down. He was sent to the hospital,


    and this incident recently became the headline news in Haldorin, causing quite a stir.


    The hospital informed Lucy to prepare 40 thousand dors for Kennelis operation. At the same time,


    people in charge of predatory lending also asked for 200 thousand dors. Otherwise, they would sell


    the Tonks family’s house. Over 2001 thousand dors was required at the same time. How could the


    Tonks family have so much money?


    The whole family was counting on Lucy to figure out a way, but she was just a newly employed junior


    designer with no means to handle such a situation.


    Just then, someone approached her.


    “She’s short of mung, so she went to sell my design drafts to Creek Fashion?”


    Rosalind couldn’t help but ask aloud.


    “Yes, and no!” Leonardo replied with a deep meaning.


    “What do you mean? Exin clearly.”


    What did he mean by yes and no? It should be a straightforward answer. Why was he being


    ambiguous?


    “Lucy didn’te to Creek Fashion on her own Creek Fashion came to her and offered her 400


    thousand to buy your three design drafts.”


    Although the person didn’t explicitly mention that they were from Creek Fashion, Leonardo still


    discovered they were indeed from thepany.


    “She agreed so easily? Isn’t she afraid of griting caught?” Rosalinal was speechless.


    Lucy’s career would be ruined if someone knew she stole design drafis. Who dared to use her in the


    future? Howe Lucy wasn’t scared at all about that?


    “Of course, she’s afraid. Initially, she had some integrity and refined their offer,”


    Leonardo paused for a while. Sering Rosalind’s serious expression before continuing,


    “Unfortunately, the day after Lucy refused, her younger brother Keh couldn’t bear the shame and


    the fact that he would be a burden 16 the family as a person with paraplegia. He attempted


    suicide in the hospital. This time, again, he failed, and not only út, he umted arge amount of


    medical expenses


    “Lucy didn’t want her brother to suffer anymore and didn’t want him to live as a disabled person for the


    rest of his life. So when the people from Creek Fashion came for the second time, she agreed to their


    demands. Not only did she agree, but she also asked ?ihem for 600 thousand dors. Surprisingly,


    Creek Fashion epted her conditions.”


    Leonardo raised an eyebrow, observing Rosalind’s reaction.


    However, Rosalind was silent and lost in thought for a long time.


    Used 600 thousand dors to buy her design drafts. They could have just approached her directly with


    such a high price. Why did people from Creek Fashon have in involve Lary in stealing her design drafts


    from Brooks Group?

    Muuruver, why was it so coincident that somerge from Greek Fashion came to Lairy for the design


    drafts just after something happened to Lucy’s family? And the pricepped to meet the needs of


    Lacy’s family.


    Why did Keh have an ident the next day after Lucy rejected Creek Faslina! Keh tried to


    jump from the building and was saved, but when he tried to kill l?mself again, he was saved again by


    someone else. Even though Rosalind didn’t


    Chapter 97


    want Keh to get hurt, this was too coincideral.


    Rosalind fell something was wrong.


    The motives of Creek Fashion didn’t make sense, and the timing of the trouble in Lacy’s family was


    also suspicious..


    Rosalind told Leonardo her doubts, but she didn’t expect Leonardo to smile.


    “What are youughing at?” Rosalind looked a little unpleasant..


    Tinughing because you’re not entirely foolish. You’ve realized that something is wrong!”


    It was obviously a deliberate trap aimed at Rosalind. Lacy and her family were just pawns in this game.


    But who would set up such a big trap to target Rosalind? Leonardo’s gave deepened.


    “Is it hard to guess? 600 thousand dors, although my design drafts are not cheap, they are not that


    expensive. Who would be so h ored to go through all this trouble instead of directly contacting me?


    Anyone can see that something is wrong.”


    “Have you offended anyone who is willing to spend lots of money to target you?”


    Leonarda looked at Rosalind with solemn eyes.


    He also checked for a long time and didn’t find out who was behind Creek Fashion, which made him a


    little strange. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Creek Fashion has developed rapidly in recent years. The legal representative on the business license


    was only information about a rural woman, and she should not be the actual owner of Creek Fashion.


    Leonardo was still investigating it.


    “I don’t know. Rasnd answered honestly.


    Since returning to the country, she has kept a low profile and didn’t frequently attend social gatherings


    or interact with many people.


    If anyone was offended, then… Virginia was one of them


    But would Leonardo believe it?


    Leonardo probably wouldn’t believe it and night even think Rosalind was deliberately trying to sow


    discord.


    Well, it was better not to say anything.


    “What are you going to do now?


    Rosalind couldn’t keep forcing it to know who was behind this incident. She still wanted to know how to


    solve the problem.


    “Hmph, since Creek Fashion likes to stral design drafts, I’ll make sure they steal them this time, and I


    make them pay double the price


    People were tting against Leonardo. If Leonardo didn’t do something, others would think Leonardo


    and the Brooks Group were easy to bully.


    He had never been willing to suffer a loss. This time Creek Fashion set a trap for him and Rosalind as


    well. Legrando ensured that Creek Fashion would pay the price!


    Leonardo was so confident that Rosalind didn’t have to worry about what would happen next.


    But…


    “Well… What about Lucy?”


    Although Rosalind also hated this kind of theft and would not forgive her. Lucy vited professional


    rules and thew. Even


    if Lucy needed to pay money or go to prison, Rosalind still sympathized with Lacy,


    It was not easy for a girl to live so hard under such tremendous pressure and be the only hope in


    her family. G od


    tortured her do much.


    There must be a pravon why others could hate someone.


    “She needs to pay the price for what she has done”
