Chapter 256 There’s No Escape

“I’m at the same clubhouse as last time. I’ll send you the location.”
“Okay!” I agreed and hung up, receiving the location from Atticus shortly after. After checking the location
and directions, I headed straight to the place. When I arrived, Atticus was already waiting there.
“Mr. Atticus.” I walked in briskly.
He wasted no time and poured me a cup of tea, saying, “I have a favor to ask of you, Ms. Chloe.”

“Naturally, I trust you.” Atticus nodded and gave me detailed background information on the mortgage contract. He also explained why he didn’t want Echelon Group to handle it.
I knew there were risks and suspected that this situation wasn’t as straightforward as Atticus made it
Take your time to consider it. I trust you completely. Please provide an answer as soon as possible, Though I’m in a hurry, Atticus said, looking at me earnestly, “I can’t find anyone I trust more than you. Of course, you can sel your conditions.”
“All right, (‘il discuss with Ryan and get back to you. Thank you!” | replied.
“Thank you!” Atticus seemed relieved.
