After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Are You Trying to Rob Me?

“You were referred by someone I know, so there’s no need for ID, just the loan number. Earlier, when you asked your sister to sign, I didn’t ask her for an ID, did I Garth looked at Liam, a hint of disdain flashing

in his eyes.

They were loan sharks, offering loans designed to trap people in endless debt.

But seeing someone trick their own sister into taking out a loan? That was something new to him.

Garth wasn’t a saint by any means, but even he couldn’t respect Liam for this.

Meanwhile, Liam wasn’t about to take any risks himself with a loan shark.

If the factory starts getting big orders and things improves, paying back the loan won’t be an issue.

But if the factory fails to turn a profit, how will I ever repay the money?

And if word gets out that I’ve taken out a loan from a loan shark and can’t pay it back on time, how will I face the neighbors?

No, I can’t afford to sign this loan.

“Just a little more time. My niece went to find Caroline. I’ll give her a call now.”

Liam, visibly anxious, dialed Helen’s number. The phone rang for what seemed like an eternity, but no one answered.

Desperately, he dialed again. This time, the voice on the other end informed him that the phone was off.

Caroline’s phone was off earlier, but now Helen’s is off too?

While Liam tried to process this, Garth spoke up again. “Mr. Somerton, we’ve been waiting almost two hours. We haven’t even had lunch. I’m sure you’re hungry too. Why don’t we just sign the loan and get it over with?”

He pushed the contract back toward Liam.

Liam gritted his teeth. His stomach was growling loudly, and the wait for Helen and Caroline/seemed pointless now.

I’ll sign it, then.

Once the factory is making money, the loan

on’t be a big issue.

He began scanning the document, but as soon as he reached the second pàge, his expression changed. He looked up sharply at Garth.

“I’m borrowing 300,000, so why does this say 380,000

Garth’s response was calm. “I already explained this. Since we’re providing the funds immediately, the service fee is higher,”

Liam’s anger flared. “But this is insane!”

This is 80,000 dollars in fees! Who charges that much in loan fees? This is blatant exploitation.

He had been so focused on getting the loan approved quickly that he didn’t care about the extra costs.
