After all, Bridger wanted money, not Josh's life.Until the shouts behind him gradually faded away, he stopped his man.Bridger glanced at Josh, who was dying, and then he looked at Sharon.
"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless.You just stood there and watched him suffer.I hope you didn't forget he is your father."
Sharon's throat so dry that she couldn't speak for seconds, "If he still considers me and Ruben as his children, he wouldn't come."
Bridger didn't say anything, since it was hard to deny.
"Then what are you going to do?"He said.
Sharon took a deep breath and said, "Here is fifty thousand.As for the rest, it's between you and him.I don't care if you let him work or do anything to pay you.I do not care.’’
Only through this, those creditors of Josh could understand that Sharon would not repay his debts.
Bridger thought for a few seconds and looked at Ruben, who had been silent, "What about you?"
Ruben's expression was cold, "He deserves it.Do what you need to do."
It was not until he finished, he held Sharon's hand and said, "Let's go."
They left the private room and a subordinate of Bridger asked, "Boss, should we just let them go? What about our money?"
Bridger turned his head and looked at Josh, who was lying on the ground, "He is our money.’’ Josh had been in debts, yet he suddenly got two million from somewhere.
If he could do that for once, he could do it twice.
Bridger kneeled and said to Josh who was on the ground, "I'll give you a few more days.But consider it carefully, the interest will rise day by day.Do not think about escaping.I'll have my men keep an eye on you.If you play any trick, don't blame me for ending your life."
When they were out of the room, Sharon suddenly felt weak.
If it weren't for Ruben holding her arm, she would have fallen to the ground.
After a long time, Sharon said in a hoarse voice, "Ruben, should we do this to him? After all..."
"You said that if he still considers us his children, he won't be here.Since he has come, we didn't do anything wrong." Ruben said.
Sharon remained silent.
Although she had long been numb to Josh's deeds, she could not help but feel sorry when she saw him being beaten and covered with blood.
Ruben said, "Don't worry, he will be fine.You have left the money for them."
Fifty thousand wasn't much, but it could at least keep Josh's life.
"I hope so."
She had asked about Bridger these past few days.He was a loan shark who collected debts.He was smart and meticulous.He definitely wouldn't do such an unprofitable business as killing people because he didn't get the money.
When they arrived at Sharon's home, Ruben took out a card from his bag and gave it to Sharon.
Sharon was puzzled, "What is this?"
"There's some money.I don't need it.Take it."
"New semester is coming, and you will need them.Keep it yourself.Why give it to me?"
Ruben stuffed the card into her hand.
"I already saved for that part.This is for you.You are pregnant and there is no one around to take care of you.Use them to buy anything you need.’’
Sharon wanted to return it, "I don't need it, you...Before she could finish her sentence, Ruben had turned around and ran away.Sharon looked at his back and smiled.
