Florence and Victoria came for Terrence to get their money back. In fact, they were prepared to resort to violence to get thingsdone, ready to teach him a lesson the moment Terrence tried to
pull anything funny. However, they had not foreseen that he would readily admit his mistakes and even humbly tell them that hewould pay them for their loss. For a moment, both of them were unsure if he really was a swindler. Could it be possible thatTerrence was indeed innocent?
“If you truly are a victim too, Terrence, where would you get the money to pay us back?” Florencewas doubtful.
“Indeed, | do not have the money right now, but | can borrow some from people around me.” Terrence sighed before hecontinued, “I’ve got some connections here in Millsburg, and | have plenty of friends. Did you see those people who were herewith me earlier on? | invited them here for a meal so that | could borrow some money from them to pay you your loss.”
Florence and Victoria were moved by his words. They were impressed by his resolution to pay them their money and even wentas far as to borrow money from others. From the looks of things,
they had misunderstood him. “Have you gotten any money from them yet, Terrence?” Victoria mellowed down and askedcautiously.
“| have, and it’s just enough to cover your loss.” Terrence nodded.
“Well, we're not in a rush to get the money back. You can take your time. It’s good to see thatyou're fine.” Victoria smiled sheepishly.
“Yes, that’s right! We were too impulsive and misunderstood you. Please don’t take it to heart.”Florence quickly added.
“Oh, it’s all my fault. I’m the one who’s brought you trouble. A man should make right what he’s done wrong. I’ll transfer you themoney now.” Terrence took out his phone and was about to make
the transaction.“Hey! We're all family! What's the rush?” Florence smiled radiantly at him. “My bank accountnumber is 622700030...”
“Wait a minute!” Terrence suddenly stopped midway through typing in his password and pretended as if he had just thought ofsomething. | can give you your money back, but the ownership of the plot of land with the abandoned construction should betransferred back to me.”
“Why would you want that? It’s basically worthless, Victoria asked.novelbin
“It’s not about how much it’s worth. Since I’m borrowing money from my friends, it only makessense that | give them something as collateral, and | think that piece of land will work just fine.”Terrence explained earnestly.
“| see...” Victoria nodded and continued, “But the ownership of that piece of land is no longer withus.”
“It's not with you?” Terrence’s eyes widened. “Did you sell it?”
“That’s right!” Victoria grinned gleefully. “We sold that piece of land to a gullible person.”
“Who was it? Who was the one that bought it?” Terrence leaped out of his seat anxiously. Damn it!

been trying to locate my friend to get him to pay back the money that he ripped off of you! I’ve been doing that for you!”
“You claim to be so righteous, but where’s our money?” Florence demanded. She wasn’t going to believe his big talk anymore. Ifhe did not return their money, everything he said was as good as
trash.
“My friend has disappeared without a trace. | suspect that he has long since fled to another city.” Terrence sighed deeply.
“Hah! | knew you were going to say that!” Florence smiled sardonically.
“Although my friend has run off with your money, I'll take full responsibility for the money you’ve
lost!” He declared righteously with a resolute demeanor.
Everyone was taken aback by his words, and they all had an astonished expression on their faces. It was beyond theirexpectation that he would take responsibility for the matter, as they thought that he would deny everything.
“So, what you're saying is that you'll pay us our money?” Victoria asked tentatively.
“Of course!” Terrence nodded earnestly. “I may be a victim too, but at the end of the day, all of youwere implicated only because of me, so Ill pay you what you lost in full!”
Well. Florence and Victoria exchanged a sheepish glance. For a moment, neither of them knew
how to react.
