Chapter 87 High Interest Loan 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.
âWho is this?â
A manâs voice came from the other end. It sounded sinister. âMs. Warren, do you want your brother to live?â
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. âDonât threaten me! If youâve done your research, youâd know that Iâm not Justinâs biological sister. I wonât save him!â
âOh?â Laughter came from the other side. There seemed to be many people there. âDid you hear that?
Youâre so useless that even your sister doesnât want to save you!â
There was the sound of a knife slicing. Justin cried out miserably, âSis! Help me! Sis!â
Josie froze on the spot. âWho are you? Where are you from?â
âWhat do you think? Your brother owes us over half a million. Iâm giving you half an hour. Come to Heaven on Earth and help him pay it off. Otherwise, Iâm going to kill him!â It was Justinâs debtor!
Half a millionâ¦
âNo way! Iâve seen his credit report. Itâs only around two hundred thousand. Donât lie to me!â
âHaha, two hundred thousand!â The people on the other end roared in laughter. It was as though they had heard a hilarious joke. âDo you know which loan your brother took up? Itâs 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 Josieâs palms were sweating. âI donât have money, and I canât save him. Youâre just in time. I was worried that I had no way to punish him. You can help me do it!â
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. âWhat happened? Are you feeling unwell, Jo?â
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.
âItâs nothing! Something urgent came up. Iâm leaving! Josie suddenly flung Matthewâs 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 dadâs face kept appearing in her mind. When she was young, her dad often advised her.
Although donât have blood relations, youâre better than bloodârelated 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.
Justinâs wails and Mr. Warrenâs advice kept replaying in her mind. Josie shut her eyes forcefully and almost had a breakdown. âMister! Iâm changing my destination, I want to go to Heaven on Earth!â
Heaven on Earth was in a reputable redâlight 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 couldnât come up with five hundred thousand.
She called the number that had called her. They answered quickly. âWhatâs up? Have you come to your senses, Ms. Warren?â
âWhich room?â
âItâs good that you have. Room 307. Say Mr. Laneâs name and come up at once!â
