Chapter 15 Setting the Trap, Kingsley Family Falls In–1
Cecilia looked so Innocent.
It was like she wasn’t talking about something hurtful, but something totally reasonable.
Everyone in the Kingsley family was stunned. They didn’t expect Cecilia to suddenly say something like that.
Cecilia felt a bit awkward under their states, “Did I say something wrong? I thought Uncle Nathaniel always sald he wanted to repay us because the Kingsley family didn’t want to take advantage of the Lockhart family. So I suggested writing an 10U, that way everyone would know the Kingsley family keeps their word, and the wouldn’t be any gossip about them.”
Nathaniel snapped back to reality.
At that moment, he felt a bit annoyed. He hadn’t expected that his empt to show off the Kingsley family’s strength would be
misunderstood.
But, was it really a misunderstanding?!
Now he was a bit hesitant.
But looking at Cecilia, especially since she had always been obedient to their family, Nathaniel felt that Cecilia couldn’t possibly have any ulterior motives.
Thinking this, Nathaniel quickly said, “Cecilia is absolutely right. Borrowing money should come with an IOU. Even if Cecilia hadn’t mentioned it, I would have written one myself.”
Cecilia smiled brightly.
Back then, the Lockhart family did indeed lend the Kingsley family $100 million.
But after that,
for that, the Kingsley fan
family never mentioned repaying it!
In this lifetime, she wouldn’t let them get away with it!
Nathaniel immediately instructed a servant to bring paper, pen, and ink pad, “I’ll write it myself.”
e then smoothly wrote it out.

After writing, he handed it to Theodore and said, “Theodore, see if there’s anything to add. If not, I’ll put my fingerprint on it.”
Theodore took it and looked at it with Cecilia.
After looking at it, Cecilia said with a puzzled expression, “Nathaniel you only wrote that you borrowed $300 million, but you didn’t mention the repayment period or what would happen if you couldn’t repay it on time. This IOU seems pretty useless.”
Cecilia’s seemingly innocent words made Nathaniel’s face turn red.
She acted as if she hadn’t noticed and handed the IOU directly to Dominic, asking innocently, “Dominic, you know everything. What do you think?”
Dominic was at a loss for words.
If he agreed with Cecilia, it would be a slap in Nathaniel’s face. But if he disagreed, it would be a slap in his own face,

Although Cecilia’s words were a bit hurtful, they were all reasonable,
Nathaniel had to quickly explain. “My fault, I’ve never wiltten an FC before, so I didn’t know how to do it. I’ll add a repayment peried now. The period will be…”
Cecilia said, “Half a year should be enough.”
Nathaniel was still hesitating between three years and five years, hu Cecilia’s suggestion of half a year shocked him.
“I just read a financial report on the Kingsley Group a few days ago, the first half of this year, the Kingsley family’s net income was $550 million. The trend for the second half looks good, so the income should be even higher, Cecilia explained clearly.
Nathaniel could only smile awkwardly, “I didn’t know Cecilia was interested in financial news.”
Because both the Lockhart Group and the Kingsley Group are on the list, I paid a bit more attention, Cecilia said sweetly.
“Alright, half a year it is. Nathaniel gritted his teeth and wrote down the period.
As he finished writing, Cecilia suggested, “If you can’t repay it in half a year, you can use Kingsley Group shares as collateral.

Nathaniel’s hand, which was writing..
“A few days ago, I heard Seraphina say that she’s the daughter of the chairman of House of Everhart Bank and also my best friend. She mentioned that when you took out a mortgage loan from their bank, you used Kingsley family shares as collateral. She said you borrowed $800 million and pledged 18% of Kingsley Group shares. So, based on market value, $300 million should be about 6.67% of the shares, Cecilia said, calculating as if she were just stating a fact, with an innocent look on her face.
