Chapter 285: -Chapter 285-

"I merely want to make a proposition," Matilda said with a grimace.

That sent alarm bells ringing in Lake's head, "What proposition?" He asked carefully.

"If you conveniently forget the events of last night, I'll write off the money you owe me."

Lake's lips turned down at the edges, in that moment, he felt exactly like his father.

And he had spent his entire life trying to escape it that it almost made him blurt out the wrong thing.

His first instinct was to try and pay back but what had that done for him?

He had spent his entire life trying to pay back debts he didn't incur, and he wasn't happier off because of it.

But his money complex aside, Matilda was a snake.

Agreeing to this would be to his own detriment, only if he were to hold up his own end of the agreement.

He would get to keep the hundred grand and still tell Davian about what happened at the right time? It was like winning twice.
