Josie leaned against the wall and pondered. Shortly after, her cell phone rang again. It was an unknown number, but it had a Wavery area code. She furrowed her brows.
“Who is this?”
A man’s voice came from the other end. It sounded sinister. “Ms. Warren, do you want your brother to live?”
It was a threat. Josie was startled, and her eyes immediately widened. Justin!
She gripped the corner of her clothes tightly and tried calming herself down. “Don’t threaten me! If you’ve done your research, you’d know that I’m not Justin’s biological sister. I won’t save him!”
“Oh?” Laughter came from the other side. There seemed to be many people there. “Did you hear that? You’re so useless that even your sister doesn’t want to save you!”
There was the sound of a knife slicing. Justin cried out miserably, “Sis! Help me! Sis!”
Josie froze on the spot. “Who are you? Where are you from?”
“What do you think? Your brother owes us over half a million. I’m giving you half an hour. Come to Heaven on Earth and help him pay it off. Otherwise, I’m going to kill him!” It was Justin’s debtor!
Half a million…
“No way! I’ve seen his credit report. It’s only around two hundred thousand. Don’t lie to me!”
“Haha, two hundred thousand!” The people on the other end roared in laughter. It was as though they had heard a hilarious joke. “Do you know which loan your brother took up? It’s a loan with very high interest! The interest goes up to a few thousand daily. His debt reached five hundred thousand a long freaking time. ago!TM
High interest loan… It was no joke. When members of organized crime were enraged, nothing could
them!
stop
Josie’s palms were sweating. “I don’t have money, and I can’t save him. You’re just in time. I was worried that I had no way to punish him. You can help me do it!”
After that, she immediately hung up!
At this time, the door of the hospital room opened. Matthew and the head nurse walked out together and saw Josie with a pale expression. She was in a cold sweat. “What happened? Are you feeling unwell, Jo?”
Matthew reached out to feel her temperature. He was worried.
Josie stayed still and looked at her dad lying on the bed between their figures. His face looked like he had been through a lot.
“It’s nothing! Something urgent came up. I’m leaving! Josie suddenly flung Matthew’s hand away. Her footsteps were hurried, and she started running as she disappeared at the end of the corridor.
As it turned out, Justin had been missing for such a long time because the mafia had captured him!
The sky was getting darker outside. Josie hailed a cab to go to Mason Garden. The vehicle drove steadily,
and she rested her head against the window. She tried to calm down. Justin had done many evil things, so he deserved to suffer and be treated violently.
But her dad’s face kept appearing in her mind. When she was young, her dad often advised her. Although
don’t have blood relations, you’re better than blood–related siblings. Never let there be bad blood between you two.
you
Josie wanted to treat him as her brother at first. It was a shame that his mother went too far in bullying her. The two had basically been strangers for all these years.
Justin’s wails and Mr. Warren’s advice kept replaying in her mind. Josie shut her eyes forcefully and almost had a breakdown. “Mister! I’m changing my destination, I want to go to Heaven on Earth!”
Heaven on Earth was in a reputable red–light district in Wavery. She had heard rumors that the mafia was. the driving force behind it!
Josie stood outside the beautiful and spectacular venue. She gritted her teeth and ultimately conceded.
She had brought nothing with her. No matter what they did to her, she couldn’t come up with five hundred thousand.
She called the number that had called her. They answered quickly. “What’s up? Have you come to your senses, Ms. Warren?”
“Which room?”
“It’s good that you have. Room 307. Say Mr. Lane’s name and come up at once!”
