The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 229

Hackett didn't feel it was his problem at all. If Leilani hadn't been whispering in Callahan’s ear, why would Callahan suddenly refuse to work with them? If not for her, the Sloan family wouldn't have been reduced to this state!

Facing Hackett’s anger, Josiah remained silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice. “How about... I go talk to Leilani again?”

“Talk about what?” Hackett sneered. “She’s climbed up to the Langley family now. Do you think she’ll still have any regard for us?”

Josiah and Hackett were anxious to find a solution, completely unaware that a slender figure had stopped outside the study after hearing their conversation.

Zadie was holding a coffee pot, preparing to bring coffee to her husband and son in the study, but she heard the argument from the corner of the hallway.

“Fifty million dollars isn't nearly enough! The bank has already called three times. If we don't repay the loan, the pledged equity will be seized!” Hackett’s voice was suppressing rage.

“Dad, we can only stabilize the situation for now. Selling the house will get us money to delay things for at least half a month...” Josiah’s tone was heavy.

“Delay? Delaying until the end is still a dead end! Unless that ungrateful daughter can get funds from the Langley family, otherwise...”

Zadie’s fingers trembled slightly, and the pot nearly slipped.

Selling the house? Bankruptcy?

These words drilled into her ears. She took two dazed steps back, Leilani’s face flashing through her mind.

Actually, when Leilani was kicked out of the house, Zadie had even breathed a sigh of relief. That disgraceful daughter finally wouldn't drag down the Sloan family’s reputation anymore.

But now, the Sloan family was on the verge of bankruptcy, while Leilani... had climbed the social ladder with the Langley family.
