Of cause you ask for your money back. I do not understand why they guys have to mention Olympic. Does this relevant? It is still 4 months away. Or they prefer the man to do this 2 weeks before Olympic? If she is so concerned, she should immediately settle that property and car issues right after the break off.
So there is one more excuse if she cannot make it in Beijing this year, right?
By the way, Guardian UK reported this.
