"If you were to come looking for me again and behave like a lunatic in the hospital, then what awaits you is a lifetime in prison. Mister Payne, please get out of my way. If you don't, I'll call the law enforcement officers."Vireo was very calm when he said that. He no longer has any feelings for the Payne family anymore. It was already good enough that he did not resent them. Seeing that Lucius did not get up, Vireo had no choice but to call the law enforcement offices. Within a few minutes, the law enforcement officers came over. They forcefully restrained Lucius and his wife and made way for Vireo."Sir and Madam, just be content with what you have. We've been working for decades, and this is the first time we see a person who was abducted let the people who had abducted him back then off the hook. Hurry up and go back. If you make trouble here, then I'm sorry, you will have to go back to prison!"While the law enforcement officer was talking, Vireo's car slowly started as well.
"Holden." Isadora called out.She found that it was easier for her to call him Holden, to begin with. Elsa, even more so, did not have much of an opinion on her son's name because her son had been stolen from her before she had the time to name him back then. As long as she was still able to see her child, why did it not matter what her son's name was?"Holden, my child, wash your hands and let's eat," Elsa gently called out."Alright, Mom," Holden said with a smile. He felt very relieved. From then on, he would no longer have any more worries. He would no longer have those nightmares of being entangled, blackmailed, slandered, and defamed. However, he really had to thank a person, even though that person was the true culprit.While they were eating, Holden said to his mother, "Mom, I have a request, and I hope you don't blame me for it."His mother smiled calmly. "My child, I understand. That man and I are not fated, but he is your biological father, after all. If he didn't step
"We could have been the relatives of the richest man in the country. What happened in the end? Everything is now screwed because of you bunch of greedy people. We're going to be homeless! We are being chased by debt collectors! We may even die in the streets tomorrow…" Abigail sobbed.Abigail, being the youngest daughter, had always been used to being a spoiled and wilful person. When things have developed to such a state, she would be the best at pointing fingers at the others. She even had the cheek to say that she was the closest to her brother growing up. Since childhood, Abigail had beaten up Vireo countless times. She had always bullied her brother as she wished. Nobody knew how she still dared to say such things without a sense of guilt at all at that moment. Hmph! She could say whatever she wanted to because her days were numbered, anyway. They were homeless and they had a crushing debt from gambling. These were enough for the Payne family to be stuck at a dead end with no way
As soon as they heard their mother's miserable cry, as well as her asking them to look who was behind them, the three sisters stopped fighting at the same time. They looked toward their mother altogether."How could you still have the mind to fight? First, take a look at who is behind you!" Their mother's cries became even more miserable and hopeless.The three sisters turned around and looked behind them at the same time. There were six tall and strong men dressed in all black standing behind them. One of the men, who was the leader, said coldly, "You said your brother is the most outstanding and the youngest doctor at the best hospital in South City, and he also has a property here. Not only does your brother have a property, but he also has many friends in South City, who were all the wealthy relatives of his patients. Your family has truly made such exaggerated empty promises to us. At first, we didn't even believe you. We then followed you to South City. After we saw your brothe
She truly was not considered young and beautiful anymore. At the age of forty-six, she was asked to earn fifty thousand dollars a month to pay off her debt. Would she still make it out alive?"Could it be less…""Sixty thousand dollars a month, then." The man dressed in black was still as calm."I'll go, I'll go, I'll go…" Ashnah knew that if she were to continue bargaining there, the amount may be raised to two thousand dollars a night. She then frantically crawled over to that black car not far away from her.Abigail was the only one left on the ground. She lifted her tearful face and smiled as she looked at that man dressed in black. "Sir, I-I am only one year shy of forty. With my figure and my looks, I…""Mm-hmm. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars a month." The man did not even look at Abigail."No…" Abigail was so frightened that her face was as white as a sheet."Three hundred thousand dollars then.""I can…I can accompany the…" Abigail was very tempted to say that w
That scene was truly tragic. Even though Vireo had made up his mind to cut off all ties with the Payne family, he had never expected that things would end up being like that. Vireo teared up. "Mom."However, calling out to her was all that he did because he knew he had already done his best for the Payne family a long time ago. He had long paid them back a hundredfold and even a thousandfold of whatever he owed them. The reason why the Payne family was in such a state where they had no way out was indeed their own fault. They only had themselves to blame for this. Therefore, even if Vireo was covered in tears, he still remained seated in his car without making a move at all.The traffic got worse. Many people, who had great guts, got out of their car and went to have a closer look, so the traffic got worse.Lucius was on the ground hugging his wife and was shouting at the top of his lungs in tears. "My dear, o-our family is going to be broken. What was even our point in this? I know
They were usually targeted in advance, and step by step, they were then lured into the trap that had already been set up beforehand. Step by step, they were tricked into gambling all of their family fortunes away. As a result, they would be in a lot of debt. In the end, they would have a crushing debt that could never be repaid, so they had to use their bodies as the capital to pay off their debts until their bodies were completely worthless. In the end, they would be secretly executed.Such a vast and despicable criminal gang was quickly destroyed by the police with the clues provided by Vireo. However, no one knew what the Payne sisters had been through in those three days. By the time the police found them, they were already dead. Their bodies were covered in bruises and not a single part of them from top to bottom was spared. The mouth of the eldest sister, Chloe, was even slit open. When Vireo saw that the sisters died so miserably, he could hardly bear to look at them.In the s
"Uncle Holden, you must be Uncle Holden!" said the man in a straightforward manner while smiling.Vireo was confused. "Looking at your age, you should be…""I am calling you uncle because of your age but your position in the family," said the man with a smile.Vireo was speechless."It's like this, Uncle Holden, I need to explain to you about this. My Uncle Alex and your brother, which is my Uncle Sebastian, are blood brothers. Their relationship is so great that both of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. I'll let you in on a secret. Back then when Uncle Alex and Uncle Sebastian were very poor, they had once shared the same pants. Therefore, their relationship is not much different from your relationship with Uncle Sebastian. Say, since I addressed Sebastian as my uncle, I can't be just calling you like a friend now, can't I? Uncle Sebastian would skin me alive that way." Ryan was already a father of two children, but he was still like a child when he was in f
