Chapter 14 Threats and Warnings



Chapter 14 Threats and Warnings

I ignored the apology from Layne and his family because I thought that was the best way to handle it.

As long as I ignored Layne, his wife would relax her guard. I did not want her money, and his wife

would not hate me.

So I turned and left, no longer wanting to entagle with them.

Unexpectedly, Layne's wife suddenly cursed that I had seduced her husband and then found someone

to help me retaliate. Her words were really unpleasant, that even Layne could not stop her.

I turned and looked at Layne. He looked at me with embarrassment. My heart softened. "I accept your

apology, but I do not need money. It's not easy to make money. You should take it back."

Layne still refused to leave. He said, "Darcey, you'd better take the money, or... or we'll feel guilty."

"It's really unnecessary. Layne. Our past relationship was really complicated and I think your wife

misunderstood. I won't take it to heart. You can go back."

I thought I was humble enough. Unexpectedly, his wife shouted again, "You don't have to pretend to be

noble! If you hadn't gone to Gavin to ask for help, none of this would have happened and he wouldn't

have threatened us!"

I knew this was thanks to Gavin, and was not surprised at all. I said, "Gavin is Gavin, and I am me.

What he does has nothing to do with me. Also, I have nothing to do with him. If the trial goes on, you'd

better think of your own problems first!"

After that, I turned to leave right away. I did not want to do anything with them anymore. I did not want

to see Layne and his wife again.

After I returned to the office, I heard from my colleagues that they waited a while before leaving. It

seemed that Layne's wife left because she did not feel well.

I secretly rejoiced that I didn't get involved with her. Otherwise, I would be blamed for everything that

could have happened to the child. In that case, even if Gavin came forward and helped again, I

wouldn't get rid of their entanglement anymore.

After sending them away, I thought I could finally have peace for a while. Unexpectedly, my mother

called me again. She hysterically said, "Darcey! They... they came to ask for money again! They said

that they would send your father to prison if we don't give money!"

Besides my mother's voice, I heard other voices over the phone. They must be the people who came to

my house to cause trouble. My heart suddenly beat faster, and I could not wait to run home right away.

Before I could comfort my mother, a fierce voice rang out from the phone, "You are his daughter, right?

Listen! We want two million and five hundred thousand. Nothing less! Otherwise, your family will suffer

the consequences." Then he immediately hung up the phone.

Suddenly my mind went blank. The first moment I panicked. I thought about how I could get so much

money. I became furious at the thought. Two million and five hundred thousand? Had not they said it

was only two hundred and twenty-five thousand?

Regardless of what I think, I still needed to raise the money. After all, they had reason now. I thought of

the one million check I just received, , and I regretfully wished to bite my tongue off. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I did not know what to do at such a critical moment. It seemed that I have underestimated myself."

'It's certainly not practical to borrow money now, but wait, don't I still have the necklace?'
