Estrella nodded and sniffled. Then she scuttled out of the office, sobbing.
The office was silent now, and Caleb stared at the cup of coffee in front of him with a rather vague smile.
“I’ve not come here to make trouble for you, Mr. Phillips,” he said, breaking the silence.
“Homecoming has lent you tens of millions of dollars before now, so we actually trust you pretty much.”
At this, Henry sighed in relief. He was about to say something, but Caleb continued almost immediately.
“But you owe that lady six billion. And we both know that’s not chicken feed. Your company’s working capital and Mr. Jaylin Phillips‘ shares are more than enough to clear that debt. But now that you say you can’t get his shares, you’ll only be making things hard for all of us.”
Clenching his teeth, Henry wanted to snap at the man in front of him.
But he knew he dared not do that.
Being run in Valmere, Homecoming was a really powerful organization, and Henry could lose his life if he laid a finger on Caleb.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Dury. Please give me one more day. I will get the shares and settle everything. You have my word.”
“I trust you.” Caleb nodded calmly.
“I’ll expect the payment tomorrow.”

Caleb stood to leave now, and Henry led him to the door with a smile.
When Caleb had left, the smile on Henry’s face melted at once and he slammed the door shut in rage.
Caleb called Bryson when he was downstairs.
“Boss, he promised to get the shares tomorrow. I will keep an eye on him.”

“Okay,” Bryson replied, his voice low.
Caleb was in the car now. He held the receiver closer to his mouth and said, “I met with Clive Wainwright’s team again. According to them, their boss wants to see you as regards the territory.”
“Take care of that; I don’t have time for it.”
“Alright, boss.”
Hannah returned to Valmere to help out her friend. She never expected that the Edwards family would get involved in this.
But things would have rather been easier if that was all. Franklyn’s people had also gotten involved!
Hannah arrived at the bar. The place was already tidied up, but it was empty as there were no guests yet.
Clive sat in the booth, a toothpick in his mouth.
