Chapter 619
Mr. Sage gave Todd an indifferent look.
The indifferent expression on Mr. Sage's face was no longer the same as when he was initially enthusiastic to please Todd.
"Since you don't have the money, I would like Mr. Anderson to stay here for a few days. You can only leave when the Andersons repay your debts," said Mr. Sage.
Mr. Sage made a gesture, and the thugs he brought directly covered Todd's mouth and dragged him out without allowing him to resist.
In Norlon.
Michael was socializing with people, and the phone in his pocket kept ringing. At first, he hung up patiently.
But, the other party kept calling repeatedly. Michael looked at the unfamiliar number and finally could not help but pick it up impatiently.
"Who is this?" Michael asked.
The person on the other end was excited when Michael answered the phone.
"Dad, it's me, Todd!" Todd said with a trembling tone.
Todd was locked up for a night. The people in the casino did not go rough on Todd, probably because they were giving face to the Andersons. They came to Todd with a phone first thing in the morning and told him to contact his family.
Todd could guess what would happen next. If he could not get his family to help pay back the money, the people in the casino would not be as polite as they were now.
"You fool, where have you been fooling around these past two days? I'm currently socializing outside. We'll talk about it later when I get home," said Michael, and he almost hung up the phone.
Todd panicked and hurriedly said, "Dad, Dad. Wait, don't hang up on me. I have something very important to tell you. I want you to listen to me..."
Todd was afraid that Michael would hang up the phone, so he hurriedly confessed that he borrowed money from the casino abroad for gambling. And because of that, he was locked up by the people from the casino now.
Michael stumbled and almost fell after he heard the figures that Todd had borrowed from the casino.
"How much did you say you owed?" Michael asked again in disbelief.
"Dad, I have run out of options. Please hurry up and get the money to pay for it. Otherwise, they wouldn't let me go," said Todd. He was afraid that Michael would refuse.
"You idiot! Where am I going to get that amount of money for you? " Michael rarely worried about his son, but he did not expect his stupid son would cost him so much money this time.
'If I had the money, why would I be entertaining my clients now?' Michael thought furiously.
"Dad, Dad! You have to help me. If you don't pay them, the people in the casino would do anything to me. I saw it before. They cut off the hands and feet of the people who owed them money. I beg you, Dad. You don't want that to happen to me, right? I'm very sorry..."
Todd was afraid that he would be abandoned. He recalled that the faces of the people he had seen before were all pale. He said, "Dad, don't we still have some private properties in our family? You can sell some of it and save me. Once I return home, we can work on earning back the money together!"
