I was ready to tell them to leave.
But Jordan spoke first.
“Come in,” he said calmly. “We can talk over tea.”
They sat in our living room, teacups untouched, and spent nearly two hours explaining their situation.
They talked about debts. Deadlines. Bank notices. Business mistakes.
But not once did either of them say, “We’re sorry.”
When they finally ran out of words, Jordan walked into his office and returned with a check for $20,000.
My mother’s eyes lit up instantly.
Jordan held it back.
“You can have it,” he said. “Right now. But only on one condition.”
My father stiffened. “What condition?”
Jordan’s voice stayed calm.
“I want an apology.”
