In six months, the debt collectors will come knocking. I suggest you start preparing early. You wouldn't want to end up with nowhere to hide." "You… You ungrateful wretch!" Mom yelled, trembling with fury as she jabbed her finger at me. "We raised you all these years, and now you don't even care whether we live or die!" Mable chimed in, fanning the flames. "You've gone too far, Talia! Mom and Dad worked so hard to raise you, and now that you've made something of yourself, you want to wash your hands of us? Life doesn't work that way!"

Phoebe sighed, “you know that’s not what I mean.” “No, no, no, no, what do you mean then? Huh, telling me that I don’t pay back, what is that supposed to mean then? You are talking as if I won’t give it back if I have it. I haven’t paid back because I don’t have it and you know it.” “But when you do have it, Cal, you don’t give me, you don’t pay back.

He leaned against the chair. "It's too tiring for you to be in this position. You're still young, and you shouldn't limit yourself." I pushed the envelope back to him. "Mr. Zachary Lowe, I'm Ethan Lowe," I said. His finger paused on the desk for a moment. "I know your name." The corners of his lips twitched. "And I know who you are." Zachary rose to his feet and buttoned his coat. "Ethan, if you refuse to help, I'll opt for another way out."

Seeing that, Sofia quickly added, "If you don't think that's possible, then at least let him borrow the money, Finn. Once the project starts making a profit, he'll pay back every penny-with interest." For the first time since the conversation began, Finn finally reacted. A slow, mocking smirk tugged at his lips. His next words, laced with sheer disdain, cut straight through her act. "Payback? Sofia, do you take me for a fool?
