Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 420

In the evening, I put the card away, took the coffee mugs, and drove home first.

Although I was a little unhappy and didn't want to go, I still made up and changed my clothes.

Sitting on the sofa, I looked at the words on the card, "Seven o'clock tonight, Viennese Restaurant".

I was struggling whether or not I should go.

It was 6:40 now. If I wanted to go, I would have to set off immediately.

I thought for a while, and finally, I picked up my bag and cup, ready to go!

Fortunately, the traffic was no longer much crowded. It took me about 20 minutes to get to the Viennese Restaurant.

I looked at my watch and found that it was exactly seven o'clock.

I stopped my car at the intersection and looked over the situation. There was no car in the parking place of the restaurant, and several waiters were standing in a row at the door.

Patrick had booked the entire venue again.

When I was about to start the car and get in-

My phone rang.

I looked down and found that it was the number of Jason.

I picked up the phone. Just as I was about to speak, it was noisy at the other end of the line and a voice came from there, "Is that Janetta?"

"What happened?"

I was a little surprised because the voice on the other side of the phone was very loud as if he was very anxious.

Also, that was not the voice of Jason.

"I'm Jason's roommate, Steve. Do you remember me?"

Steve? Well, it seemed one of Jason's three roommates was called that name.

I admitted, "Yes."

"Can you come to our school now? Something happened to Jason!"

Steve said.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing his words, I suddenly became nervous. I looked at the restaurant next to me and hesitated at once.

Steve paused and said, "I don't know when Jason had taken out a loan from the P2P Network Loan Platform! But he didn't have money to pay off it. Now, someone else in society came to ask for money! They said if Jason can't pay back the money, they would've chopped off his hands!"

"What?" I was stunned. I didn't think that Jason was such a person in usual. Why had he taken out a P2P network loan?

However, at this moment, I couldn't think that much at all. I immediately said, "I'm coming right away."

I turned to look at the restaurant. Although I was reluctant, I still started the car again and drove in the direction of the school.

I got to Jason's school at about 7:30 p.m..

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a tall boy standing there. Although I was not sure if he was Steve, I knew he must be one of Jason's roommates.

When he saw me, he didn't get in the car but ran ahead to lead the way!

He was really in a hurry!

I was worried very much. I was really afraid that something bad would happen to Jason. "After all, he was a promising boy. If he will be hurt in some incident, it's a pity!" I thought.

Steve ran ahead and I followed him. He ran very fast and soon led me to the door of the indoor gymnasium of the school.

This indoor gymnasium was newly built, and I had never been here before.

As I saw Steve wave at me, I knew that Jason was here.

After parking the car, I took my cell phone in my hand and switched to the dial interface. I was ready to call the police if there is an emergency.

However, if they would only ask for money, I would just give it to them.

Maybe I had a lot of experience in society. Once this happened, I always doubted whether Jason wanted to blackmail me for a sum of money as he would resign from his job in my house soon.

After making preparations for the worst- case scenario, I followed Steve to the door.

The door of the gym was closed, with only a small gap. I took a look inside and found it was dark. I had a bad feeling.

I could not help but take a step back and asked, "Is he really here?"

"Yes, he's inside!"

Steve's answer was positive!

It was getting dark, and I didn't turn off the lights of the car. Looking at Steve's face, I felt that he was hiding something.
