Leaving Apple City (Part 2)

The main reason Amalia bought the MegaGrocers Supermarket was the original owner's parents.

After the Vanquez family went bankrupt, Vanquez's father began working tirelessly from early morning till late at night to repay the debts.

Later, the Rodriguez family cleared the Vanquez family's debt, but Vanquez's father didn't quit his job.

Besides supporting his family, there was another reason; he wanted to attempt a comeback, repay the money to the Rodriguez family, and bring the original owner back to their side.

Six months ago, Vanquez's father, after saving a small amount of money, tried his hand at business but ended up losing all his capital.

He had always thought it was just bad luck, but it wasn't; it was the Rodriguez family's covert interference, attempting to prevent any chance of the Vanquez family making a comeback.

The only condition the Rodriguez family had for helping Vanquez's father clear his debts was that the Vanquez family couldn't contact the original owner, and the original owner couldn't contact the Vanquez family.

So, the original owner had no idea that the dire straits of the Vanquez family were orchestrated by Arthur and continued to this day.

...

The next day, Amalia packed her bags and left Apple City.

Once she left, Arthur knew about it, and he smashed a glass.

Alex overheard the conversation and couldn't care less about anything else. He burst into the study, "Father, I heard that Amalia left Apple City. Is that true? Does she know something and want to escape from Apple City?"

"Why didn't you knock before entering?" Arthur frowned unhappily.

"I couldn't care less about that when the person has already left," Alex said urgently.

"Alex!" Arthur's expression darkened.

Alex's face stiffened, realizing that his father was genuinely angry, he didn't dare to say another word.

"Why did I end up with such a foolish son like you? Use your brain for a moment. The Vanquez couple is still in Apple City. Would she leave her adoptive parents behind unless she wanted to endanger their lives?" Arthur snorted coldly.

Alex, in his moment of desperation, calmed down and realized, "Then why did she suddenly leave Apple City?"

Arthur picked up the teacup that the housekeeper had just brought in, took a sip, and spoke confidently, "No matter the reason, if she doesn't return within half a month, she's well aware of the consequences."

Half a month later was the time Amalia had agreed to return to the Rodriguez family for dinner.

"That... that matter..." Alex wanted to bring up the fact that Amalia had agreed to go to the main house in his place.

"She has to go whether she wants to or not," Arthur said coldly.

Alex's face brightened. With his father's words, he felt relieved.
