Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter: 185
The Betel Nut sneered, âWhoo are you keeding? Open your moobile payment app and geewe me your
fone!â
âAlthough he talks as if he had two tongues fighting, he isnât stupid after all, â Debbie thought to herself.
She clutched her phone tightly. It was her only hope. She would never give it up to them.
Then an idea struck her. She clicked the Contacts button on her phone and tried desperately to
intimidate her captors.
âI have a very powerful background. The people I know will kick your asses if you dare hurt me.â
However, the Betel Nut didnât seem frightened at all.
âCall whooever you want. I weell wait and see whoo weell come. If one perthon comes, we meke $28,
000. If two come, we mekeâ¦er⦠itâsâ¦â
â$56, 000. If two people come, you make $56, 200,â prompted Debbie. It was hard for her to watch the
man being tortured by Math. Nonetheless, she found it silly and hid a wicked smile.
âGosh! I thought I was bad at Math.â
She scrolled the call log back and forth, while her eyes wandered around the room. She was looking for
an escape route. She had no intention of calling anyone, but her finger accidentally touched
Haydenâs number. When she realized it, the phone had already been connected.
The call was soon answered, but what he said was really disappointing.
âDeb, an important conference is about to commence. Do you have something urgent to say? If you
donât, then I have to go.â
Somehow, Debbie wanted to see how he would react when he knew what was happening to her.
âYes, I do. Hayden, some people are trying toââ
âTo what?â He didnât even wait to hear her out.
âDeb, the conference has begun. I have to go. Iâll have my secretary call you back later, okay?â
Actually, Hayden indeed had a meeting, but it hadnât begun yet when Debbie called. He had lied
because he was angry at Debbie hanging up on him earlier.
So he ended her call in a hurry.
It never occurred to him that since she had called at this really late hour, something awful might have
happened to her.
The two men in the room grew more impatient. When the call ended, they snatched away Debbieâs
phone and said, âI donât believe that you donât have money on your phone or in your card. Come. Iâll
swipe your card and youâll input the code.â
Then they searched out from her purse the card Carlos had given her. It was a premium Gold Edition
Visa Card.
Before they could swipe it, Debbieâs phone rang again. The caller ID said, Old Man.
Her hopes were renewed. After being disappointed in Hayden, she started expecting rescue from
Carlos.
âI have to take that call.â
The two men refused.
