The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 168

Hearing that, Janet rushed into the house and saw a group of burly men surrounding Hannah with bats or clubs in their hands. It looked like they had broken in while she was cooking.

"I don't have so much money. Please try to understand." Hannah scooted back beside the stove, still holding knife and vegetable scattered all over the ground. She looked terrified. Janet could only see Hannah's grey hair and the side of her haggard face from where she was standing.

Hannah staggered backward, grabbed the knife tight with her shaking hands, and pointed it at herself. "If you keep forcing me, I will have to die!" "Okay, we won't force you, you old bitch." A muscular man with a scar between his brows spat on the floor and glared at her. "Your neighbor told me that you have a granddaughter. She lives in the city, right? I heard she is pretty. We want to see her. I'm sure she will visit you if you have trouble, won't she?"

With that, the man took out his mobile from his pocket and knocked the stove with a wooden club. "Hurry up! Call your granddaughter and ask her to pay your debt."

Hannah's face reddened with fear, and her wrinkles grew prominent. "I... I won't."

"Damn it! You won't call her? Fine! Break this old bitch's leg!" the strong man bellowed his orders.

He put a cigarette in his mouth as the other men surrounded Hannah.

"I'm here. What's going on?" asked a cold voice of a woman.

The men unanimously turned around and saw Janet's pretty face and met her icy gaze. Janet walked over and stood in front of Hannah.
