Chapter 191 Collecting Debt, Promissory Notes, and Courting_2

"But I haven't received the money, I can't afford to pay it back."

Lance stroked his chin, "Is this Arthur, the son of Councilman Williams?"

A hard-to-describe expression appeared on Mr. Ted's face, the kind often associated with a very peculiar psychological reaction.

Victims begin to empathize with their victimizers, even standing with them in spirit, and could eventually become their accomplices, helping them harm others.

He didn't need to speak; Lance already knew the answer.

"Yes."

He touched his chin, on which some stubble was just beginning to show, slightly prickly to the touch, "Any evidence?"

Mr. Ted's eyes flickered, "No."

Actually, there was—a note on which Arthur had written that he had borrowed an amount of fifteen thousand yuan from him, interest-free.

The reason Mr. Ted insisted Arthur sign that note was similar to what Mr. Jiobaf had in mind—he wanted Arthur to feel disgusted when taking money from him to reduce the frequency of such blackmails.
