Chapter 211: Paying debt (3)
"You will not do any kind of business here. Regardless of what my son owes you, you don’t get to walk in here and demand that we do as you say. You are to put those things back," Kate said, angry that they were taking what belonged to her. "We will pay you."
Victor placed the paper, which contained his deal, on top of a chair. "You’re an angry little lady. It’s the opposite of what I hear about you around town. You’re right," Victor said, clapping his hands to gather his men. "I didn’t give you a chance."
"I’ll give you one day to gather the money for the first payment. I’ll send one of my workers back here to collect it tomorrow night. I like this home, so I am going to do my business here," Victor said, ignoring what Kate wanted.
Since Victor was owed money, Kate wasn’t in a position to give orders. If she wasn’t careful, Victor would take the home.
"Put back what you picked up, except for the portrait. Would you look at this?" Victor took a portrait of the late baroness. "I don’t remember her being this beautiful."
Kate attempted to move, but she remained seated. "Put that back."
Victor handed the portrait back to his workers. "You’ll get it back when you pay me off. I remember that she once worked in a brothel and married her way into your father’s home. She hid where she came from for years. A woman like that has my attention."
Victor admired a woman who knew how to swindle a man. They were the ones he liked to employ. He was curious if Kate was anything like her mother.
"It’s time for you to leave," Noah said, pointing at the door.
For the first time in his life, Noah wanted to get a gun. The sole purpose of the gun would be to kill Victor and every other man who was in his home now.
"I will leave. I don’t want to disturb your time worrying about your son. I will do another act of kindness to search for him along with you. No one ever borrows for me and runs off for long. I bid you all a pleasant night," Victor said, dramatically bowing.
