Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 158

Lina was still dissatisfied. She said, "90%? I can sell these easily on a second-hand platform for much more. Why would I settle for their depreciation rate?"

"But aren't you in desperate need of cash? Isn't tomorrow the deadline you agreed on with Ryan? How do you plan to face him if you don't figure something out soon?"

That shut her up immediately. I had hit her weak spot.

If Ryan couldn't scrape together the million-plus he owed by tomorrow, he would end up in jail. He would latch onto the 90 thousand Lina owed him like a lifeline. Who knew what he might do if she couldn't pay him back?

Finally, she stood up reluctantly. "That discount wasn't something you negotiated for me, was it?"

"It wasn't."

"Good. Because I don't want to owe anything to someone as pathetic as you!"

With that, she clutched her clothes tightly and stormed off.

Felicia hurried over and helped me up from the ground, her face full of indignation. "She's so ungrateful! You saved her life, and she doesn't even say thank you. Instead, she insults you."

"Let her be. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, that's enough."

If she had actually ended her life over those clothes, I would've carried the guilt of it for the rest of mine. I pulled out my phone and called the store manager, instructing her to process the return at 90% of the original price.

"Will that work? Would it cause too much of a loss for the store?"

The store manager chuckled. "Don't worry, Mr. White. It's no problem. Clothes that have only been washed once can still fetch at least 80% of their value on second-hand platforms."

"Really? Give her 80%, then."

I didn't want to exploit her predicament too much.
