Urging Him to Get a Divorce (Aveline and Xavier) novel Chapter 695

So when Jacob said he wanted to sell the villa in her name, she knew he had a point. The house they were in now was very valuable and would likely appreciate more in the future.

Not only was the location great, but the original developer was reputable, so the construction quality and design were excellent.

Someone in this neighborhood had indeed sold a house for nearly two hundred million.

Courtney gestured for Josephine to be quiet, so the debt collectors in the living room wouldn’t know they were there and come bother them.

Hearing Jacob say this, one of the debt collectors in the living room sneered, “If you don’t hurry up and pay your debt, in a little while, even this two–hundred–million–dollar house won’t be enough to cover

it.”

Jacob said angrily, “Don’t threaten me. If you push me too far, I’ll call the police.”

The debt collector sitting on the sofa picked up a decorative object from the coffee table, smashed it on the floor, and shouted, “Don’t you fucking threaten us with the police. If we were scared of that, we wouldn’t be in this business.”

The other debt collector said, “Think about it. If you call the police, the fact that you’re into loan sharking will be exposed. Will you still be

able to run your company? Will anyone still do business with you?”

Jacob was speechless.

“Pay the five million in interest first. As for the fifty million principal, we can give you a few more days.”

Jacob replied, “I can’t come up with five million right now, and besides, the interest you’ve calculated is wrong.”

“You live in a two–hundred–million–dollar house and you can’t even come up with five million?

You got into loan sharking, you should know how the interest works. Now that it’s time to pay up, you’re playing dumb with me.”

“Since we’re here, we’re not leaving empty–handed. You have to pay something.”

“You have a wife and a daughter, and your wife is pregnant. You wouldn’t want us to go bother them, would you?”

Hearing this from the dining room, Courtney and Josephine’s faces turned pale with fear.

Courtney was so angry she gritted her teeth. Jacob had gotten into loan sharking, and those people knew every detail about his family.

All she could hope for now was that this useless man would quickly give them some money to get rid of these two debt collectors.

But unexpectedly, Jacob still said he couldn’t produce a single cent right now.

The debt collector said, “This antique of yours looks nice. We’ll take this as partial payment for the interest.”

Jacob didn’t say a word, so the two debt collectors took the antique.

Courtney didn’t know which antique they took, but she knew none of the antiques displayed in the living room were worth more than five million.

There used to be an antique vase worth over ten million that Bethany had bought. Luckily, she had put it away in her collection. Otherwise, if the debt collectors had taken it, it would have been a huge loss.

Jacob returned to the dining room with a grim face and said, “They took the two–million–dollar vase.”

Courtney glared at him. “You didn’t even make them write a receipt. What if they deny it later?”

Jacob snapped, “I just wanted to get them to leave. I wasn’t thinking about all that.”

“If you thought of it, why didn’t you come out and tell them to write one?”

Courtney picked up a fork and threw it at him. “I’m pregnant, how could I dare go out there? What if they hurt me?”

“You bastard, they even know who’s in your family.”

Jacob sat down, annoyed. “If you’re scared, then hurry up and get the money to solve this. Then they won’t show up at our door again.”

Courtney said angrily, “I don’t have any money.”

Josephine said, “Dad, you should go find Aveline. She definitely has money to help you.”

“Tell her that if she doesn’t help you, this house her mom bought will be sold to pay off the debt.”

Courtney suddenly had an idea. “Have Aveline give you two hundred million to buy this house. You can pay off the debt, and with the rest of the money, we can buy a new house to live in.”

Bethany had originally bought this house, so she was never happy living here. But it was the best–located and largest of all Jacob’s properties, so she had to live here even if she didn’t want to.
