Chapter 11 - Desperate Pleas to the Austin Investor
Ethan grabbed his phone and dialed his prospective father-in-law in Austin with trembling, sweaty fingers.
The phone picked up on the first ring, but instead of a warm greeting, an ice-cold voice answered immediately.
“Do not ever call this number again, Ethan,” Richard Vance growled through the speaker with absolute venom.
“Mr. Austin—please! You have to help us! These lawyers are throwing us out onto the street!” Ethan begged frantically.
“You lied to my daughter, you lied to me, and you made us cross paths with Claire Sterling,” Richard shouted back.
“Consider yourself blacklisted from every major commercial market in the entire state of Texas by sundown.”
The line went dead with a harsh beep, sealing Ethan’s complete banishment from high society.
