Now, those clients wonât deal with him unless he compensates them!
Iâm not sorry for him.
Just for Janet and Yvonne!â
Julie exclaimed with frustration.
She wished Shawn would work hard and earn some honest money to support his family.
Melissa had cautioned him countless times but he had always brushed it off.
Now, he was deep in troubleâ¦
Hearing Julieâs words, Melissa was stunned.
That was a hefty sum.
It equaled her yearly earnings.
And she wouldnât get her hands on it until year-end.
After pondering, Melissa suggested, âIt looks like weâve got no choice but to sell the apartment.
â
But the apartment wasnât fully paid off.
After settling the mortgage and gathering her cash, she would only have around four to five million dollars.
That was nowhere near enough!
Julie and Janet objected to Melissa taking on the debt.
It was all Shawnâs fault, they argued.
They couldnât let Melissa shoulder it.
In the end, they both broke down in tears.
Meanwhile, Melissa resolved herself.
Julie had been her rock for years.
No matter how bad Shawn was, she couldnât abandon them.
Soon, Melissa contacted an agent and listed the apartment online.
Due to the relatively low price, potential buyers flooded in.
Melissa had to stick around for house viewingsâ¦
Eventually, she sold the apartment at a bargain that very night.
But Janet refused to move into the villa.
Melissa had to find a rental for them.
In the evening, Shawn called, sounding anxious.
He hinted that if he didnât cough up the cash, they were going to come after himâ¦
Shawn used to be a smooth-talker but now fear laced his every word.
He even broke down on the line.
âWhat do we do? If something happens to Shawn, what about Yvonne and me?â
