When Love Breaks by jack novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

Lloyd was at his wit’s end, and with another slap, his hand landed on the r

man’s head, spittle flying. “Damn it, you’ll be the death of me! That’s not an ex-wife. That’s a curse!”

“Boss,” The raspy-voiced man gestured toward the boot still on my face. “Maybe you want to take your foot off first?”

Only then did Lloyd glance down, shivering, as he quickly retracted his foot. Right at that moment, someone yanked open the garage door!

Initially, I thought Gary’s guys might have seen me get kidnapped while dropping off some stuff for me and sent someone to rescue me.

But as I looked up, I saw Bryant’s cold, sinister face.

Wasn’t he out shopping for tampons for Margaret when I called earlier? How did he make it here so fast? We were at least an hour’s drive from BlessedCare Medical Facility.

“Oh, Mr. Ferguson!” Lloyd, who was all bluster a moment ago, suddenly became meek. “I’ve heard so much about you!”

Bryant’s face was frosty, his tone sending shivers down his spine, “This is your reason for kidnapping my wife?”

“It’s all a big, fat misunderstanding. I wouldn’t even think about it, no matter how gutsy or fearless I was.” Lloyd was trying to pass the buck, pointing at Allen with a sycophantic laugh. “We were just inviting Mrs. Ferguson over for a chat. Look, Mrs. Ferguson’s uncl is here, too!”

“Is that so?” Bryant sneered, clearly not buying it.

“Of course! Lloyd was grinning like a sunflower, pushing Allen forward. “If you don’t believe me, ask him. He just wanted to borrow some money from Mrs. Ferguson.”

Bryant eyed them, his gaze dangerous and narrow. “Borrow money?”

His presence was so imposing that Allen couldn’t muster the courage to speak.

Finally, Lloyd said, “Allen borrowed a payday loan from me, and now, he owes me ten million with interest.”
