Rebom to Dodge the Bad Marriage:

Chapter 201 Turn Yourself In

Finished

Yette’s answer was the only thing that spared Blake another beating. He was sobbing as he begged, “Aunt Yvette, you have to send the money fast! Every minute it’s late, the interest goes up, and they said they’d cut off one of my fingers!

“They also said if you can’t come up with the money, there’s another way, Turn yourself in and apologize to Nora in public, and they’ll knock $30,000,000 off the debt! Then, you only have to wire me $20,000,000!”

Yvette was frantic and furious all at once. “I turn myself in, I apologize, and I still don’t get the $50,000,000 wiped out? I still have to pay $20,000,000?”

Who the hell does Nora think she is? She was dying to say it out loud, but she didn’t dare, not while those men still had Blake.

Nora tipped up her chin and smiled at her. “Sure, Blake and your little confession aren’t worth much. So let’s change the deal.

“Turn yourself in and apologize right now, and I’ll get them to give you two extra hours to pay. How’s that?

“You schemed against me, and here I am, putting in a good word for you and giving Blake a fighting chance You really ought to thank me for being so generous.”

“You…” Yvette was so angry that her whole face twisted. She opened her mouth to let Nora have it.

But she knew those gamblers and loan sharks had no mercy. If she ran late, they really would cut off Blake’s finger, and no amount of pride was worth that.

Yvette had no way out, and she hated every second of it. She glared at Nora, her jaw clenched. “Wow. Thanks a lot.”

Nora gave her a gracious smile and even pointed at the police station. “Don’t mention it. Now, go on inside and turn yourself in.”

Yvette was about to walk inside when her phone rang again. This time, it was Victor.

She’d need Victor to help her cover the debt anyway, so she picked up. “Victor, I need some money. Could

you…”

Before she could finish, Victor roared down the line, “Yvette, what the hell did you do this time? Did you go after Nora again?

“Every company in the city is cutting ties with our family! Our stock is in free fall.

“Right now, this minute, you tell everyone what you did, and you apologize to Nora. Mandy too! Or you’ll be sorry!”

Victor had barely finished yelling when another call beeped in. Yvette hung up on him and switched over. “Dad…”

Yvette’s father was just as bad. He started cursing the second she picked up. “You good-for-nothing! It’s bad enough you never lift a finger for this family, but now you’ve dragged us into your mess! We’ve all been suspended from work! And if Blake loses so much as a hair…

Chapter 201 Turn Yourself In

“I swear I’ll beat you to death myself, you worthless piece of trash!”

Finished

The moment he hung up, her phone rang again. She answered, and sure enough, it was one more person demanding that she and Mandy apologize to Nora and tell everyone the truth.

More calls came in after that, but she didn’t pick up. She didn’t need to. She already knew they’d just scream at her and tell her to apologize..

Mandy came storming out and marched straight up to Nora. “Nora, you have no shame!

“All you’ve got is that pretty face! You seduced Julian, and now you hide behind him and push everybody around. What else have you got?”

In the last few minutes alone, Mandy had taken call after call from people tearing into her. On top of that, every company she worked with had put their deals with her on hold.

Plenty of them were even threatening to sue her for breach of contract. And that was before her own family weighed in. Victor and her grandfather had both called to scream at her and make threats.

Only one person could make that many companies drop her at once. It had to be Julian.

Nora looked Mandy up and down, cool as a queen, and let out a scornful laugh. “No wonder you’re so bent out of shape. You finally cracked, didn’t you, ugly?

“I’m better than you at everything, and I’m prettier too. And what was that? I seduced Julian? I hide behind him to push people around?

“Please.” Nora smirked. “Julian’s my husband. When a wife seduces her own husband, it’s not called seducing. It’s called keeping the marriage spicy, and it’s perfectly legal.

“And I’m not hiding behind him to push anyone around. We’re a team. That’s what married couples are. Unlike you…

She glanced up at Adrian, who was standing behind Mandy, and let out a short laugh. Then, she turned back to Mandy. “You’re ugly, you have no clue how ugly you are, and you steal other people’s-”

Mandy screamed right over her. “Shut up! Shut the hell up!”

Nora’s smile turned openly taunting. “Go ahead. Seduce Adrian right now and get him to throw his weight around for you. If that doesn’t work, be a good girl and go turn yourself in.”

She turned to Yvette with a sweet little reminder. “Better hurry. Time flies, and you’ve got a lot to do. You might not make it.”

Yvette went cold all over. She grabbed Mandy. “Stop wasting time. Get inside. We’re turning ourselves in.”

“Mom, it’s not like we did anything,” Mandy protested. “Why should we apologize? I’m not scared of her.”

Then, she grabbed Adrian’s arm and looked up at him, pleading. “Ace, please help me! I don’t want to get locked up. I don’t want to go to prison! Nora’s using Julian’s power to force us into confessing.”
