That sparked a loud laugh out of everyone, and the woman chuckled seductively. “Are you just learning about this, Ms. Ashton?”
There seems to be no difference between high-interest loans and robbery, yet people still fall for it, namely me.
Panic flashed in her eyes as everyone roared in evil laughter. What should I do now?
She blinked. I need to see Juliette first.
“I’ll repay my debt, Samuel, but could you please let me see my daughter? I’ll call my friend to bring the rest of the money once I’ve made sure she’s safe.”
“Your friend? Can we trust her?”
Samuel sipped his drink and leveled a dark gaze on Gwendolyn, thinking she was aggravating for knowing the terms and conditions when she agreed to borrow the money but was refusing to pay it back now.
She raised her right hand like a boy scout. “I swear that I’d pay this debt that my friend had incurred to cover her hospital bills. She’s currently in the process of selling her house and will be able to pay off the loan once the sale goes through. I only need to make one phone call to her, and she will get the money here,” she uttered breezily, but a cold sweat broke out along her spine.
Gwendolyn didn’t know if Lucy had managed to sell her house. Even if she did, the sale might not have amounted to two million.
The more Gwendolyn racked her brain over this, the more exasperated she felt at being duped out of so much money.
This is pissing me off. There’s nothing I can do after saving Juliette except to make up for this huge loss.
Samuel could see Gwendolyn was sincere and turned to the woman beside him. “Follow her and listen to her phone call, Andrea.”
She untangled herself from him and hooked a finger at Gwendolyn in a come-hither motion. “Follow me!”
Gwendolyn followed her into a bedroom where she saw Juliette tied up on the bed after the light switch was flicked on, her eyes swollen from crying.
