Calter was sighing.
He thought that he could make a fortune by taking over this small store, but that didn't happen at all! Instead, things got so bad that he had to close the store!
He really regretted doing this now. He wished he had taken the money that Preslie's friend had offered him before!
Now that he had no more money, the shop was useless to him!
Celine even started scolding him, calling him useless and an idiot.
"I nearly died! And all you got from that was a shabby store! Preslie and her friend owed us! You should have forced them to give us their recipes and make them work for us! What's the use of just one lousy shop? Now, we've had to close it down and we're left with nothing!"
Calter didn't say anything.
He had been too short sighted!
If he had properly thought things through, he wouldn't have settled on a single lousy store!
Calter and Celine were struggling to keep it afloat, even Amelia was having a hard time!
She had seen how good business was for this small store and became extremely jealous. That was why she had urged her parents to take it away from Preslie.
At the time, she believed that if Preslie gave the store to their parents, she would eventually own it!
Then she could earn money while she slept!
But she didn't expect the business to go under before she made any money from it!
No!
Absolutely not!
This tiny store had been extremely hard to get, she can't give up now!
Amelia encouraged her parents. "Dad, Mom is right. She nearly lost her life because of this. So long as we still have this store, we can turn things around. We just have to find them again and get them to agree to give us their recipes and help us bring business back to the store."
Calter was hesitant on the idea. "I'm afraid that Preslie and her friend will never agree to that. Her friend had already signed the contract to give up complete ownership of this store, that makes things even between us."
Amelia snorted coldly and said, "Signing that contract means
nothing! Think about it, why would they have agreed to sign off this
store over to us so easily? Then
must have known that it was going to go out of business anyway. This was all a part of their plant They took advantage of us!"
"They must be laughing their heads off at us right now. Mom nearly died and they're laughing at us for being fools!"
The more Calter listened to her, the more convinced that she was right, which made him very angry!Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She's right!
So long as they worked at this small shop, they weren't going to get rich anyway!
Those lousy, rotten tricksters!
"I won't stand for this. I'm going to look for them right now!"
Calter then said, "Amelia, I'm going to go look for them right now. Do you know where they are?"
Amelia replied, "They seem to be getting a new store ready. Well find out if we ask around."
Celine snorted and said, "Opening a new store?! They must be living a comfortable life! But it's not over yet! I don't think getting the recipe from them alone is enough! Well have to make them work for us as well!"
Calter shook his head. "
That's being greedy. We
can't expect both of them to work for us. At most we should have one of them working for us instead. If they don't agree to that, then they should provide us with the recipe."
Amelia chimed in, "Mom, dad is right. After all, we're not heartless. We are compassionate people."
