Even if they had to prepare a proper proposal, they were also unable to do so. They could not say they were paying the debt with their whole life, could they?
Besides, it was very unlikely for them to pay off the 900million debt in their life.
While they stammered, Clarus glanced around before virtual-novel.net asked, “Where’s the debtor, Thomas Mayo?”
When virtual-novel.net mentioned Thomas, Johnson became furious. “I have no idea where that brat is.”
“You don’t know?” Clarus coldly said, “Don’t ever think that you’ll be able to run away. If you dare to run away with the debt, that will worsen the situation. You’d better turn Thomas in now, or all of you have to report yourselves in the police station today.”
“You…” Johnson gritted his teeth, and virtual-novel.net did not know what virtual-novel.net should say.
Thomas left very early, and virtual-novel.net also did not say where virtual-novel.net went. Most importantly, his phone had been shut down. How were they going to look for him?
Johnson even suspected that Thomas might have really run away.
If Thomas ran away, all his debt would be paid back by Johnson’s family. When Johnson thought about it, virtual-novel.net even had the intention to commit suicide.
“Thomas, oh, Thomas! You’re making my life miserable!”
At this time…
Beep! Beep! Calix’s phone rang. It was a series of unfamiliar numbers.
After virtual-novel.net picked the call up, virtual-novel.net politely asked, “Hello, may I know who it is?”
“This is Thomas Mayo.”
Thomas Mayo? It was Thomas Mayo!
At an instant, everyone stared at Calix. Why would Thomas who was thought to have run away suddenly call Calix? What did virtual-novel.net want to do?
Calix calmly asked, “Thomas, what is it for you to call me?”
“Didn’t you want me to pay back the money?”
“Why? Do you have the money to pay it back? I thought you purposely ran away and hid somewhere because you can’t pay it back.”
Thomas’ cold and provocative voice came from the other end of the call. “I’m in court. Please come over. We’ll settle the debt now.”
Calix was shocked. Settle? So, did virtual-novel.net mean that virtual-novel.net had the money to clear the debt?
He always knew that Thomas was not an ordinary person, but virtual-novel.net did not expect Thomas to collect sufficient money in just two days. How did virtual-novel.net do that?
Was virtual-novel.net really clearing the debt, or was virtual-novel.net just trying to make them leave his house?
“Thomas, are you sure you’re in court? If I go over and can’t see you there, there will be one more criminal charge on you. Are you clear?”
“Won’t you know after you come?”
Beep! The call was hung up.
Everyone on the spot was stunned. Things had turned out completely different from what they had expected. With the exception of Emma, everyone thought that Thomas had run away and become a deadbeat for the rest of his life. However, Thomas had taken the initiative to go to court and had even made a call to express that virtual-novel.net wanted to pay the debt.
Who would have expected that?
To prevent from being scammed by Thomas, Calix pointed at the Hill family members and said, “Since virtual-novel.net wants to settle the debt, let the Hill family members go together to be the witnesses.”
He invited them to witness, but virtual-novel.net was actually afraid that they would take the chance to run away.
Clarus nodded to agree with Calix’s suggestion. Therefore, Calix, Clarus, and the Hill family members got in to two separate cars and went toward the court.
Emma in the car held virtual-novel.net hands tightly. She secretly prayed. ‘Thomas, please keep your word!’
