Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 1273

Wilbur looked at him. "No, it's about what you want to do."

"I want to be free of them, but I owe them so much money and they injected me with drugs. I can't leave anymore," Jack said in despair.

Bailey looked at Jack in shock. "You've been controlled by them?"

"Yes, I have. I'm sorry, Bailey. There's nothing I can do." Jack clutched his head, ripping at his air.

Bailey got to her feet, coming up to Jack. "Go back to Dasha and get clean from whatever's in you. What's wrong with starting over?"

"It's not that simple. They confiscated my passport ages ago, and they've got eyes everywhere. I can't go, even if I wanted to." Jack shook his head helplessly.

Bailey was stunned. She had not expected this to be the reason behind Jack ending up in this state.

She turned to Wilbur, looking at him pleadingly.

For some reason, she felt like Wilbur would have a way out of this.

Wilbur looked at Jack. "I'll help you out this one time, seeing as you've still got a heart in you. Go back and tell Cade Lonen that I'll be there on time. Don't worry about the rest, you'll know when the time comes."

Jack let out a long sigh, nodding his head. "Okay, Mister Penn."

He turned to leave, stopping at the door to bow to Bailey. "I'm sorry."

Bailey shook her head at his retreating back. "Poor guy."

"You can't say he was entirely forced into it. He would've never even been around these people if he'd just stayed in school, would he?" Wilbur said.

Bailey blinked.

Indeed, Jack had always taken advantage of coming from a bit more money to slack off from school and hang around sketchy people. That was what landed him in this state.

There was no one else to blame, really.

Wilbur shook his head, continuing to drink on his own.
