Chapter 560: Lost
Chapter 560: Lost
"Where’s the money?"The matriarch asked Mrs. Kane again. Seeing Mrs. Kane’s troubled expression, the matriarch frowned. This woman was as greedy as ever. If the Kanes’ financial chain weren’t in trouble, she would never have given the manor and the Dragon Bracelet to Mrs. Kane. Now that this woman sold them, did she not want to give her the money?
The matriarch’s face darkened. She would not allow this to happen.
"Give me the money. I need to buy back the manor and the Dragon Bracelet."
The matriarch’s tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Mom, return the money that shouldn’t be taken to Grandma. If you need money, I can give it to you."
Mrs. Kane wanted to roll her eyes at Leon Keane. Give her money? He could barely help himself now, what money could he give her? Not to mention the amount wasn’t small; there was a gap of over two billion.
"I can’t come up with the money right now. It was just auctioned. The buyer hasn’t paid me. They applied for a bank freezing service and will only release the funds once the property title is transferred to them."
Mrs. Kane’s mind worked quickly. She suddenly thought of this and felt secretly relieved. Now this old lady couldn’t force her to hand over the money, could she?
"What? You actually allowed the buyer to apply for the freezing service?" The matriarch was almost infuriated by Mrs. Kane. A financial rupture needed funds urgently, and her actions were clearly harming the Kanes because transferring property titles takes time, especially for properties in Meridia, where efficiency is low.
"It’s such a large sum of money. How could they possibly transfer it immediately? Of course, there needs to be some security. Mom, be rational, okay?" Mrs. Kane said indifferently.
"Give me the buyer’s phone number." Leon suddenly said.
"What are you going to do?"
"Break the contract. I’ll pay the penalty. The manor was left for Grandma by Grandpa; it contains their past memories and can’t be sold."
It also carried memories of his childhood.
Like the matriarch, Leon held deep feelings for the manor too. Luckily, since the transfer hadn’t been completed, there was still time.
"Impossible." Mrs. Kane’s voice was a bit flustered and angry. In her heart, she was particularly annoyed. This son just always opposed her. Ivana Monroe must have led Leon astray; he wasn’t like this before.
Mrs. Kane felt sad and distressed. Perhaps sensing her own loss of composure, she made another excuse: "The breach penalty is very high, as much as a billion. Right now, the Kanes’ financial chain can’t be filled, so where is the money to pay the breach penalty?"
Tears glistened in the matriarch’s eyes as she looked at Leon Keane, deeply moved. This precious grandson of hers was truly kind and filial. If it hadn’t been for letting Ivana Monroe act recklessly, causing the Kanes’ financial chain to break, how could she bear to take the Kanes away from his hands?
"I will personally negotiate with them. Believe me, the value I can offer them won’t be as simple as just a billion," Leon said confidently. "Give me their phone number."
Anyone who could afford to buy Grandma’s manor and the Dragon Bracelet must own a listed company; as long as it’s a company, Leon could win them over.
However, Leon did not yet know that the buyer wasn’t concerned about money at all.
"I lost it,"
Mrs. Kane shook her head. No matter what Leon said, she would never give it to him.
Giving it to him would be the end.
"Forget it." The matriarch wiped away her tears and said, "Sold is sold. Once the money arrives, immediately transfer it to me. I’ll take a moment of silence at an overseas nursing home. Now book me a flight ticket."
The matriarch no longer pursued the matter, still thinking of the Kanes. This money could fill the financial gap.
"Okay, I’ll book a ticket for you right away, Mom."he manor and the Dragon Bracelet can’t be sold to you. I can compensate you for your losses."
The other party was momentarily stunned.
After a moment, they said, "Hello, Mr. Kane. I don’t care who you are. The manor and the Dragon Bracelet have already been sold. The money was also transferred to you. It’s too late to go back on the deal now. We don’t want your compensation; we’re interested in the items."
