Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 527

Harry perked up, hope flickering in his eyes. “Okay, Mr. Smith. I’ll keep everyone calm, I promise!”

Jenson ended the call, his face set with determination. He turned to Milana. “Come on, let’s head back to Fortune Pawnshop.”

Milana dragged her feet, her heart heavy. These things meant the world to her. The idea of letting them go for next to nothing hurt more than she wanted to admit.

Sandy noticed her hesitation and chimed in, “Mom, we really don’t have a choice right now. We need the cash. When Dad’s doing better, he’ll buy you something even nicer.”

Jenson backed her up, “Exactly. Even Sandy gets it. You should too.”

Milana wanted to snap at Sandy. Of course it was easy for her to stay calm. None of this was hers.

“Fine. Forty million. Whatever.” She sighed, defeated. There was no other way.

When they got back to the pawnshop, Jenson felt his cheeks burn. He remembered what he’d said earlier about not coming back. Now here he was, tail between his legs.

But there was no time for pride. If he didn’t bring back money today, the people causing trouble at the office would tear him apart.

Maverick greeted them at the door, still smiling politely. “Welcome back, sir, ma’am. Have you made a decision?”

That friendly attitude took a little of the steam out of Milana’s anger. They’d already checked around. Fortune Pawnshop was offering the best price and they’d pay in cash.

Milana nodded. “Yes, we’ll take the forty million for both sets. We need the money right away. Otherwise, trust me, I’d never agree to this price.”

Maverick nodded. “Understood. Please wait while I call my boss to confirm.”
