Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 379

Luk was like a cat on hot bricks.

He was at a loss what to do. He thought he could be free after paying back the money. But things didn't seem as simple as he thought.

"Dude, you have to believe me. I will never run away again," Luk begged.

"I'll give you a discount on the interest for the sake of you paying back one million dollars. Two million more will do." One of the men said.

Luk almost fainted after hearing his words.

If he had known that one million dollars wouldn't do, he would have run away long ago.

It was like a bottomless hole which can never be filled.

What's worse, he had no say at all.

Luk had no choice but to compromise, "I'll find a way."

The man said, "Don't think of any tricks. Even if you can escape by yourself, we won't let your beautiful daughter go. You'd better know."

Luk was terrified.

No one knew better than him what would happen to those who lost money in the casino.

Men ended up being killed and women sent to an illegal red-light district.

This was the best result.

Some of them ended up being tortured and feeling life was worse than death.

Luk did not dare to go back to Mose Clubhouse anymore. He dreaded to tell anyone about this.

He just wanted to run away.

But he wanted to bring Tina along.

Luk had to go to the hotel where Marina stayed to find her.

He didn't dare to tell Marina the truth, so he had to take them away first.

Marina thought he was leaving for Holland.

It was better than suffering in Birmingham.

She didn't even dare to go out now, afraid of meeting someone she knew.

Her life had fallen from the clouds to the bottom.

Marina usually boasted about herself in front of her friends all day long, regarding herself as Oliver's mother-in-law.

Now, she didn't even have a place to live, so she could only live in a hotel for the time being.

Unable to frequent high-end places openly, she didn't want to live this kind of life for a day.

She had no alternative but to live a dull life with Luk.

Luk told Marina that they could take the train instead of the plane.

They could travel from Russia, all the way through eastern Europe, and finally to central Europe.

They could enjoy the scenery on the way to the destination.

Tina and Marina had a lot of belongings, and Marina felt that Luk's suggestion was feasible.

It had been a long time since she went on a trip.

It was a good opportunity to spend more than ten days on the train and enjoy the scenery by the roadside.

Marina told Tina the news and told her not to book a flight to Holland.

Tina, however, disagreed upon hearing that they were taking the train.

She couldn't stand staying on the train for so long, at the thought of the bad surrounding particularly.

Tina immediately went to Marina's place and voiced her doubts.

Luc had no choice but to say that he was really afraid of flying, for fear that there was almost no chance of survival once an accident happened on the plane.
