Chapter 290 It's Really Over Now
Tonight, they were brutally beaten by Violet's people. With their bodies aching, they had no mood to think about much.
"Mrs. Wilson, please wait a moment, I'll go and see if Madam Wilson has a medicine box here, I'll look for it."
After all, this is not their villa. It took a while, but eventually, the servant finally found a medicine box and opened it to find some medicine that had not expired.
Mr. Wilson was in so much pain that he couldn't stand straight. He lay on the couch and let the servant apply the medicine. "Be gentle... Ouch, my old back..."
"Mom, how could Abella be the Medici couple's biological daughter? How could she be Philippe's fiancée? She was recognized as Mr. Walker's granddaughter and Violet admitted she was her niece..."
Abella had so many identities, each one was more noble than the previous one. Upon hearing this, the servant who was disinfecting Isla's wound was shocked. They exchanged glances with the each other, never expecting Abella's true identity to be so noble. They were ashamed, they had treated her so poorly in the past. But it was too late for regrets.
Isla lay on the couch, allowing the servants to apply the medicine, gritting her teeth in pain and agitation. Why? Why did that wretched woman get all the benefits?
Mrs. Wilson lay on the couch, enduring the pain as she spoke, "The Wilson family raised her for eighteen years. It was already generous of us to not ask the Medici family for repayment of their nurturing, but how did they treat us... Ouch, be gentle! Do you want to kill me?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wilson. I didn't mean to..." The servant overheard their conversation and immediately apologized.
"They all said that their daughter stayed with us for these years, but she didn't receive the care and attention she deserved. On the contrary, it's because of Abella that we have our current social status. They should be grateful that they haven't taken everything away from us, yet they still want repayment for nurturing?" Mr. Wilson shouted in pain as he spoke.
Mrs. Wilson, knowing she was in the wrong, said, "I was just venting! Violet was too harsh tonight; her actions were so severe..."
They spent the whole night groaning in pain. The next morning, Mr. Wilson received a phone call, and he was completely dumbfounded. "What... What are you saying?"
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't even stand properly and fell onto the couch. Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wilson was suddenly alarmed.
"What's happened?"
"How... How could this be..." Mr. Wilson couldn't find the words to say, his mind completely blank.
Isla, suffering from foot pain, slowly descended the staircase while holding onto the railing. Unable to hold back, she asked, "Dad, what happened?"
"Jeff, please speak! What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wilson touched his heart, patted his back, poured him tea, and comforted him in a soft voice. Finally, Mr. Wilson regained his senses.
"We have to start the construction on the plot of land we bought within a month, and for five years, we can't sell it or use it as collateral for a bank loan..."
In other words, they had to keep the land in their possession, they couldn't use the land to apply for a bank loan for the next five years. More money needed to be spent, and it couldn’t be sold to others.
Not only that but, construction must start within a month, if they didn’t, it would be considered a breach of contract. Isla was stunned after hearing this!
"What did you say... Is the information accurate?" Mrs. Wilson was incredulous.
"We don't have a single penny on hand right now, and we were counting on selling this piece of land to turn things around! You say we can't buy or sell for five years? How are we going to repay the loans we owe to the local banks, with interest running into millions every month?"
And the money they borrowed from others, agreeing to pay interest every month, adds up to over three million US dollars when combined with the bank interest. The Wilson Group's current, monthly, operating profit, is not even half a million US dollars. How are they going to repay over three million dollars. They simply couldn't afford it!
"Who said this? Is it true? Did you confirm it?" Mrs. Wilson clung onto a glimmer of hope and asked, "Why haven't we heard about it before?"
"All the other groups know about this, that's why only top-tier conglomerates participated in the bidding. Only they have spare cash on hand. Even if they hold onto the land for five years, it won't affect their cash flow..."
But they couldn't do it! They had borrowed from numerous local banks, and other people, selling everything they had, finally raising a total of twelve billion dollars. They originally planned to buy the land and immediately sell it. They had no intention of keeping it!
"According to the documents I signed that day..." Mr. Wilson deeply regretted it!
He was too excited and happy at the time, only concerned with signing his name, without bothering to read through all the details.
"And before the bidding began, the organizers mentioned this issue... but we only heard it as hearsay. We received the news at the last minute and decided to bid for the land, so we didn't inquire much..."
Mrs. Wilson's vision went dark. She quickly reached for the sofa to support herself and collected her thoughts before commenting.
"So, our family is really done for this time... No wonder so many smaller groups didn't dare to take over this land... It's not just about the funds, but also the fact that once you secure it, you have to hold onto it for five years."
Forget about five years, they couldn't even wait for five months. How could they withstand repaying so much interest every month? They simply couldn't afford it.
"Jeff, what do we do now?" Mrs. Wilson's voice was shaking, bordering on going hysterical. "It's such a huge piece of land, and we don't have the money to start construction. And the interest, of over three million dollars, every month, how can we repay it? We simply can't afford it!!"
Mr. Wilson felt like the sky was collapsing, remaining silent. Isla was trembling in fear, unable to believe that they thought they could make a lot of money by securing this piece of land. But now, everything had changed!
If the Johnson family found out about this, her engagement celebration would definitely be ruined!!
Last night, Mr. Hamilton was so frustrated that he wished he could strangle her. If they found out that her family didn't have any extra money to start this project... her future would be ruined!
No, this was not acceptable! Although she didn't fancy Remy, the Johnson family was definitely better than the Wilson family right now, she had to hold onto Remy tightly!
"Mom, Dad, please don't worry. We still have Grandma, right? Grandma still has some shares and funds... she should be able to help us get through this!" Isla spoke up, giving the Wilson couple a glimmer of hope.
Yes, they still had Grandma, Grandma had shares, funds, and even an RV... she could definitely offer some assistance!
"Skylar, hurry, let's go to Grandma's..." They needed Grandma's help this time. Mr. Wilson didn't even have time to change his clothes, and neither did Mrs. Wilson. They hastily left with Isla.
