Chapter 7 - Chloe’s Wealthy Father Threatens Lawsuits
Chloe grabbed her phone with trembling fingers, quickly dialing her father, Richard Vance, a prominent import magnate in Austin.
“Daddy! You need to call your lawyers right now! Some corporate thugs are trying to kick us out of our home!” Chloe cried.
Richard Vance answered immediately, his voice booming with protective paternal fury over the speakerphone.
“Put whoever is in charge on the phone right now, Chloe! Nobody threatens my family in Houston!” Richard barked.
Nathan stepped closer, taking the phone from Chloe’s shaking hand with absolute professional ease.
“Mr. Vance, this is Attorney Nathan Brooks representing Sterling Crest Group. Before you make any legal threats, check your portfolio.”
On the other end of the line, Richard went completely silent for several tense seconds.
“Sterling Crest... You’re the primary institutional lender holding the debt on my entire import distribution network in Austin,” Richard whispered.
“Correct. And if your daughter does not vacate this property within one hour, we will call in every single loan immediately,” Nathan warned.

Richard’s tone shifted from arrogance to sheer, unadulterated terror in a fraction of a second.
“Chloe, pack your bags right this instant! Do not argue with them, or you will ruin our entire family business!” Richard yelled.
