Chapter 29: Can't get the money

Inside the bank, a tense conversation was taking place, while outside Lani was impatient. She felt extremely insecure. Lani kept looking at her watch and realized that more time had passed than expected. Enoch and Vera should have come back soon, but no, they were carefree, casually leaving Lani to the bad guys to watch. As a result, the big brother is extremely angry because he was made to wait for so long. And he was about to do something terrible to punish Lani. Lani's instincts told her so.
"Are you and your father trying to play tricks?" He glared at Lani menacingly: "Prepare yourself mentally to be a prostitute to pay your father's debt."
Lani gulped, even though she was scared, but she knew that she couldn't lose her temper. Lani tried to keep her spirits up and tried to convince the big brother to give her a little more time.
"Please calm down." Lani tried not to let her voice tremble as she said, "Banking procedures are often very cumbersome, there are many stages, you should understand that. Besides, with such a large amount of money, the settlement to hand over money must be sure. It's going to take some time. Please have a little more patience."
"You've said that three times since we got here." He smirked as he said, "Don't you have a line that's fresher, better, and more convincing?"
"That's all I can say." Lani defended: "I can't lie to deceive you. I know the consequences if I dare to do so, so please understand and wait a little longer."
"Honestly, your father doesn't have any money in the bank?" He looked at Lani accusingly: "From the beginning, you two have colluded, tricked us into coming here."
"What do we do that for?" Lani argued, wanting to vindicate herself as well as her father: "I volunteered to be your hostage? If there were other intentions, why would I have to sacrifice? We really have money." Lani affirms again before suggesting another idea: "I will contact you again."
With that, Lani called Enoch, but as before, Enoch didn't answer the phone. Seeing the disgruntled look on her creditor's face, Lani knew something really bad was about to happen. So to avoid being sold, Lani resolved to negotiate with the creditor again:
"Or like this, to avoid wasting your time." Lani slowly presented: "I have a proposal, you just bring the girl you want to go to first, then we will try to pay the debt for you as soon as possible."
As if fearing that creditors would retort and disagree, Lani added: "Please rest assured, our house is also of great value, selling it will probably be enough to pay off your debt. You can send someone to supervise to know that we will obediently cooperate with you."
Seeing the man's thoughtful expression, Lani timidly probed: "Don't know what you mean? In my opinion that is the best solution in this situation."
Listened to all and the creditor felt very angry when Lani's father and son led the nose.
"So you're admitting that you and your son planned to play with us?" The man snarled at Lani: "Now do you want to be punished?"
"Not." Lani brazenly denied the allegation. Lani's calm expression caused the creditor to raise his eyebrows in suspicion. Why is Lani able to act as if she's been wronged, when in fact the accusations are true? "What my father and I said are all true. There is only one thing that we have not mentioned."
The creditor's gaze became more and more fierce, making Lani unable to delay in explaining: "That girl is very stubborn, it is difficult to cooperate with us. I think she played a new trick to make my father I'm stuck in there. And most likely it was because she messed up that my father couldn't get the money."
Lani continued to make up a few more bad things about Vera when she saw that the creditor seemed to be listening attentively to her: "You don't know, she originally wanted to get rid of me and my son. She wanted to hug her. All that inheritance money to run away. How many times has she recklessly escaped from home? As you witnessed, she was caught by my father at that time, so he beat her. Maybe. She took the opportunity to get out of the house, took advantage of a crowded place, and tried to hide again. It was easy to escape in there, my father was alone, so the unexpected happened. It took your time and damaged your trust. I sincerely apologize."
Lani dropped water and told the world's most lies. Lani's crocodile tears always make men feel pity. Lani believes that this time she will also succeed in making the creditor's mind shake.
The man has yet to comment on the story. Seeing that, Lani continued to look for a chance to survive again:
"As I expected, my father will come out empty-handed anyway. And that will certainly make him angry. But as I have suggested before. We can negotiate again. First, you take the girl with you, while we sell the house and valuables to pay off your debt."
After saying that, Lani anxiously waited. Lani really hoped that luck would be on her side, the creditor would accept the deal again.
Although I don't understand the story Lani just told. However, the creditor saw Lani's unpretentious performance, and he believed it a little.
...
Back to Vera. The quiet room became oppressive, the atmosphere thick with private speculations. That situation must eventually come to an end.
After spending a few minutes processing the shocking news, Enoch indignantly interrogated him: "What the hell are you talking about? Why is that? Nonsense..."
It was impossible for Enoch to receive information that was unfavorable to him like that. There was no way that Enoch would easily accept and ignore such a large fortune. At all costs, Enoch must take it for the period. Not only to pay off debt but also to use later. Father and son Enoch relied on Vera's inheritance, so they did not worry about the future, refused to back down and work to earn money. During the past few days, they lived off the money left by Vera's mother, so they could only play and gamble to their heart's content. Now Vera's mother's money is dwindling, while Vera's father's assets are frozen in the bank, hard to get out of.
"Please calm down." The director tried to reassure Enoch: "Then I will explain to you the will of Mr. Lagan Taylor."
Another revelation left Enoch gaping in surprise.
"Will? Which will?" Enoch had never heard of such a strange thing: "How can there be a will that I don't know about? Are you kidding us?"
Enoch's voice was irritated and his demeanor was like he wanted to eat the other person alive.
"It was Mr. Lagan Taylor's will written down before his untimely death." The director still kept his composure when he revealed, "The will is recognized by law in the presence and witness of my lawyer and mine. In addition, it is also filmed in case witnesses are recorded. having an incident such as sudden death."
"So what?" Enoch asked stupidly, he tried to argue to get the money: "Isn't the will also leaving property to his family, but here is his daughter, Vera Taylor?"
"Yes, but in order to inherit the property left by Lagan Taylor, there must be some conditions attached."
Stunned by the news, Enoch really didn't expect this to be the case. It is true that human calculation is not equal to heaven calculation.
"What is that?" Enoch tried to stay calm and probed further.
"We need the chosen person to provide the key and password that Lagan Taylor gave to us in order to access his property."
"What the hell are you talking about, only the chosen get the inheritance?" Enoch processed the information and was confused by the problem.
"Exactly, only you, given the keys and passwords to you by Lagan Taylor, have access to his property." The director corrected for complete and clear information. Then he turned to Vera and asked:
"So girl, do you have the password and the key?"
Vera put on a dumbfounded expression. In fact, she doesn't know anything. Vera was only told by her mother that her father left her property in the bank. That's what she said before she died, and Enoch overheard it. So he had the idea of ​​taking over Vera's inheritance. In the past, when Vera's mother was sick, could die at any time, Enoch had planned to kick Vera out of the house if her mother died, but when he learned about Vera's inheritance, he changed his mind. determined. Enoch accepts the responsibility of being Vera's guardian in order to get the main way to get Vera's money. Then, as Vera grew and became more beautiful, Enoch again had a sick desire to possess Vera. But Vera cleverly made conditions with Enoch, Vera saying that when she was twenty-two years old to inherit the property, she would give it back to Enoch, as long as he didn't touch Vera. Actually, the twenty-two-year-old lie was made up by Vera, she was scared if her lie was discovered by Enoch, But it was a good thing that Enoch believed it. It is true that greed has made people sometimes lose their reason, easily deceived, believe in others.
Enoch was also staring at Vera, wanting to see if Vera was hiding something. Unfortunately, Vera didn't know anything so her expression was completely genuine. Finally, after a minute of silence, Vera spoke up to break the tense silence:
"I don't know about what you just said." Vera confessed: "I just heard my mother say that my father left the inheritance to me when I am twenty-two years old, I can inherit it."
"Did your mother tell you about the password or the key?" asked the director, and Enoch looked at Vera as if threatening her not to be stupid enough to lie.
"Looks like my mom doesn't know about the key and the password either." Vera kept her cool, adding: "I only found out about it on the day my mother was dying. She lay on her hospital bed and communicated to me about my father's estate without saying anything about keys or passwords."
"Are you sure?" The director emphasized that he wanted to re-authenticate.
Vere immediately nodded: "Perhaps she forgot at that time. She passed away so suddenly, perhaps she was not prepared for that moment of separation."
Vera said and tears slowly rolled down. She missed her mother, it was natural to think back to that difficult time.
There was a pause for Vera to express the pain she hadn't felt in a long time. Then the director spoke up:
"We're sorry that without the key and password we couldn't give you the money." The director's voice was firm, completely firm.
"Even his daughter can't take her father's money?" Enoch cried out indignantly. The old man glared at his opponent.
"We are only following the will of Mr. Lagan Taylor." The director did not flinch, still politely replying to Enoch's words.
"Don't try to make up stories to appropriate other people's property. Hurry up to pay us. If you don't throw up money, we will not be polite anymore, we will resort to the intervention of the law. ." Enoch hissed, he was so angry that he rushed to grab the director's collar and threaten.
"Please calm down, if you don't believe we can call a lawyer here. That lawyer is the one who made a will for Mr. Lagan Taylor." The director was soft-spoken, but Enoch defiantly didn't believe him.
"Who knew you were colluding to take other people's property?" Enoch raised his voice accusingly: "Be smart, throw up your money, or I'll raze this bank."
Enoch did more and more, while Enoch agitatedly attacked the banker. Vera took the opportunity of Enoch to leave her and cut the paper on the table with a knife, cutting the cord. Then she carefully escaped from the room.
