Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2095

Beck had never encountered such a shameless woman before. In an instant, he wanted nothing to do with her and just slammed the door shut in her face.

The very next day, Stella was politely asked to leave. The servants relayed Beck's message, hoping she would never come back.

For the following week, Stella didn't catch a glimpse of Beck.

However, there was news from Morgan. He had blown through his cash and was now being hounded by Jason's goons for debts. In a bold move, he even struck one of Jason's debt collectors.

Naturally, Jason couldn't let this slide. Morgan was now in his clutches, and no one knew what he was going through.

Stella was just sitting in Boris's mansion, waiting for news.

In the evening, when Boris returned for dinner, their meal had barely started when Boris received a threatening call from Jason. He claimed Boris's son owed a whopping $5 million and demanded payment for his release.

Boris knew all too well who Jason was - a ruthless loan shark whose business spanned across the city.

The elite of North America sought their fortunes in clandestine casinos, where fortunes were made and lost in a night.

These casinos lent money but had strict entry requirements.

Jason, on the other hand, had no such requirements, but not repaying him could result in broken limbs or worse, putting your entire family in danger.

After all, Jason's enforcers were merciless, and a human life was worth merely $10,000 to them. Successfully collecting a debt could net them millions.

Furious, Boris clenched his phone, "Where's Morgan?"

Morgan's voice came through, pleading, "Dad, please save me. They're going to break my arms, my legs. Please, bring the money."

For the first time, Boris realized how disappointing his son was.

He nearly threw his phone on the floor, but Morgan's wailing continued.

"Five million? Where's the exchange happening?" Boris asked, after which he hung up.

Then, he turned to Stella, who was quietly sitting across him, serving soup as if she hadn't heard his conversation.

Boris had never felt the weight of being a father until now, a sense of guilt rising within him.

"Your brother's messed up. He needs $5 million. But I have to leave North America tonight for a critical five-year deal. This meeting is crucial. So, can you handle freeing your brother? Take enough people with you. Don’t put yourself in danger. They only want the money."

Stella raised an eyebrow. She was to rescue Morgan?

She wished Morgan would just disappear.

"Stella?" Boris called again.

She looked up and smiled. "Of course, Dad."

After a quiet dinner, Boris handed her a card containing $200,000.

"You must've spent the last of your allowance. Here's some more. Don't let yourself be short-changed in this house."
