Nathan Linstad was flustered. He knew that if Elly Campbell just walked out like this, it would mean he could only take the first path she had given him.
A path that would leave his entire family stuck in the mire for a lifetime, unable to rise.
He knew his life was done for, and the promised comfortable life he had vowed to his mother was now a broken promise.
All the hopes his siblings had placed on him were drowned in his greed for those five million.
He couldn't let them be dragged down by him anymore, so, even if Elly's response was indifferent, he had to confess honestly to her.
"I'll speak, I'll speak, Mrs. Jones, please give me a chance, I'll tell you everything."
With tears and snot running down, he knelt before Elly Campbell, appearing absolutely miserable.
This time, he dared not conceal anything or negotiate, and he told Elly Campbell and her husband everything he knew.
"That's all I know; I've never seen that person, nor do I know who they are."
