Brayan sneered mockingly, "Do you think I would sign this? And for free? Curtis, are you daydreaming?"
"You will!" Curtis smiled confidently and turned to Steffen, making a gesture.
Steffen immediately turned on his tablet and showed a surveillance video clip.
Pointing at the video, Curtis explained, "This is evidence of Victoria's involvement in the loan operations of the loan shark company. Each transaction is recorded, and I have all the documentation. If I were to hand this over to the police..."
"Are you threatening me?" A cold glint flashed in Brayan's eyes.
"Little Mr. Riley, don't get agitated. I'm not threatening you. I'm just helping you to analyze the pros and cons." Curtis spoke with a warm smile, "You see, your daughter has openly committed a crime, who will be humiliated? It will be you, of course!"
Brayan's face twitched in anger and couldn't say a word.
Curtis added, "From what I know, your company recently launched a new loan product. It has received a positive response in the market, and your son intends to use this opportunity to take the subsidiary company public. If this video is out, people will say your family is using the façade of financial products to engage in usurious lending practices. Whether it's true or not, your company's stocks will plummet, and the subsidiary's public listing plans will be ruined. The stakes here are worth far more than the value of this piece of land..."
"You..." Brayan's chest heaved with anger. He picked up the document and glanced at it. Then, he signed his name with a huff.
After signing, Brayan angrily threw the pen at Curtis.
Curtis quickly caught the pen aimed at his face, stopped him from leaving, and said, "Hold on!"
"What else do you want to do? Don't go too far!" Brayan had lost all patience. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
At that moment, Sara politely handed over a pair of oranges.
"These were specially prepared for you by Mr. Riley! Wishing you good luck and success."
She said it with utmost sincerity, "Can't you see how nice Mr. Riley is? He could have easily taken away a piece of your land, but he didn't do so and give you a pair of oranges instead. He is truly a good person."
Adeline was speechless.
"Hmph!" Brayan glared at the oranges, snorted, and then left with an annoyed grunt.
After Brayan left, Curtis looked satisfied with the document in his hand and explained it to Adeline.
"Our family has a billion-dollar project, a renewable energy environmental project in cooperation with Dremlandia. If this project can be materialized, it will not only lower the electricity costs but also make the power generation process more environmentally friendly and pollution-free. It's a sustainable development project that benefits both the nation and the people. However, the project's planning requires two pieces of land from Victoria's family, but they have been unwilling to give up the land. They demand exorbitant prices for the lands which led to the project being put on hold for two years..."
Adeline nodded as she felt supportive of this environmental project. She said, "So, you took the opportunity to get a piece of their land. But didn't you say you needed two pieces of land?"
Curtis chuckled lightly and answered, "Victoria isn't worth two pieces of land. If I ask for too much, Brayan is likely to turn against me and the scheme won't work."
Adeline nodded again, then pretended to be annoyed and said, "Oh, Curtis, you said you were here to seek justice for me, but it turns out you are here for the company's benefit."
Curtis laughed softly, "This is indeed for your justice. You could say it's a win-win situation. Let me ask you, with my status, can I beat Victoria up?"
Adeline shook her head.
"That's right. Victoria is my sister-in-law. My parents have always advocated for family harmony. As long as my brother isn't thinking about divorce, Victoria will always be my sister-in-law. If the younger brother-in-law was to slap his sister-in-law, ethically, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on."
Listening to Curtis's analysis, Adeline found it reasonable.
"But, it's completely fine for a father to discipline his daughter."
"I took a chunk out of Brayan's hide here, and he'll be angered enough to slap Victoria. In this case, ethically speaking, there won't be any problem."
That guy's thinking was so meticulous and unsettling!
Curtis smiled politely and said, "Let's go. Let's go tease Victoria."
