The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Fifty Million Reasons

Even for an adult, fifty million was a staggering amount–let alone for a student.

“I know this sounds abrupt, but I swear–if you give me two years. I’ll pay Colton back, principal and interest. I can write a promissory note or sign a contract,” Eliza said, her voice steady. Then she admitted her biggest hurdle. “But… I’m a minor. I can’t apply for any loans.”

“Do you even know what the interest rate is for two years?” Nolan’s tone was cool. “In two years, you’d owe Gray Corp at least five million in interest. That’s fifty–five million total.

If she waited too long, the flu outbreak would already be in motion, and by then, it’d be too late to start buying

“One month. Around the time of the math competition. I’ll get it done.”

Nolan agreed on the spot–with no conditions. That surprised Eliza

After all, she was the one desperate for money.

Anyone else would’ve taken advantage of her by now.

“Anything else?”

Eliza shook her head, still processing it all.

“Then go back to class.”

During the next period, Eliza barely touched her test paper. Her eyes kept drifting to Colton.

So that was what the big secret was, Nolan thought. Just borrowing money.

When the two of them walked back into class, all eyes locked onto them,

A few classmates even ducked their heads to stifle their laughter.

“Can’t believe our cold–as–ice boss is finally showing some warmth.”

“He’s never been this nice to any girl before.”

A few students whispered among themselves.

At school, Nolan avoided girls like
