President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 43

Ella smiled awkwardly. "Well, she's my only bestie."

Daniel sighed, "Then we could only eat together next time. Today I have to eat alone. I will not bother you."

"Thanks, Mr. Nelson. Then I'll go."

When the elevator was ascending to the top floor, her phone rang. It was a strange number. Wondering it might be her mother, she answered the phone immediately.

"Hello, is that Ella Williams speaking?"

On hearing a strange man's voice, a very unfriendly voice, she answered with a sense of revulsion, "Yes, I am. Who is that speaking?"

"You can call me Doug.Your parents are in my hands now. Your father owes me 10 million gambling debts and your mother wants to take him away with only 2 million. Too naive! If everyone doesn't pay their debts like you, how can I run my business!"

His voice revealed he was obviously unhappy. Although he did not speak ferociously, his frigid tone was enough to make she shudder. 'Apparently, he was a difficult guy!'

Doug took Luke as her father, but she did not want to explain anymore. She carefully let out a breath, frowning and asking, "Doug, how do you want to deal with it?"

"It's perfectly justified to pay off debts. I run a legal casino in Las Vegas! So don't think about calling the police. They won't interfere!"

He added, "But I can assure you I won't hurt them. But if you don't pay off the 8 million debts, I won't let them go. I'll leave them in the casino as cleaners until they pay off the debts!"

He snorted contemptuously, "But you can think of it. They can't pay it off even if they live 800 years! The most likely outcome is that they will die of overwork before 60! "

"Their lives are worthless for me, but they are your own parents. Don't say I treat you harshly. I'll give you a week to raise the money. But if you can't and they die of overwork, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Though smoldering with anger, she managed to listen until he finished his words and said calmly, "I want to hear their voice to make sure they are safe and sound now!"

At this point, Doug's voice became distant, "Hey, you two go and bring the old couple into the office."

Two minutes later, she heard the voice of her mother over the phone, "Ella, I'm so sorry! I lied to you. Your bastard uncle believed his friend's words and owes 10 million gambling debts! How can we pay it off? We would rather die! Please take care of Jack ..."

"Mom! Stop saying such silly things! How are you and Uncle Morris now? Are you hurt?" she said excitedly, but she tried to restrain herself from getting angry with her mother.

Caroline sobbed, "I'm fine, but your uncle seems to be petrified. He becomes delirious and remains silent these two days. I tell you, he was beaten hard by them before!"

"Why are you chatting away? Bring them back to the cell!" Doug's voice came from the phone again.

At the moment she had already broken in a cold sweat. She had never thought of encountering people at the casino!
