FULL NOVELXO Chapter 232 I Want Money
Ada burst into tears. She did not want to be a cripple.
At the moment, she hated her brother. Her parents always said that her brother could stretch the family tree. As his elder sister, she must help him; otherwise, they would not recognize her as a daughter.
The money that Ada spent on her brother was countless. It might be tens of millions, which was enough to buy a fine villa in City J. She didn't even know where she got so much money.
"It is your brother's debt, but the guarantee shows clearly that you will pay the debt for him. See. Your print."
Ada's younger brother often came here. He would lose a lot of money almost every month.
The leading man with a beard sneered, "If you do not pay the money, I'll cut your fingers!"
He opened a pocket, which was filled with bloody fingers.
"Ah!"
Ada screamed, wishing she could immediately faint. He did want to cut her fingers!
"My husband can pay. He's rich!"
Not daring to resist anymore, Ada could only beg for mercy and asked for a few more days.
She did not have 3 million.
"You divorced and left the marriage with nothing. I believe it's no secret."
The bearded man was suspicious. Ada had been in the circle before. Perhaps she could borrow money from someone?
However, as a snob, she probably didn't have any good friends.
It was said that she was good with Mrs. Duncan. The Duncans were busy with their affairs now, so they probably had no time to care about such a trivial matter. "Ada?"
Pearl was not a busybody. She thought for a little time and believed that Ada still had a little value.
She remembered that Jane had mentioned that Ada had a gambler younger, who seemed to be a regular customer of this casino.
"Pearl?"
Ada's eyes almost popped out when she saw Pearl.
She crawled out from the gap of men. Kneeling, she cried to Pearl, "Help me, Pearl!"
It was only 3 million. It was an astronomically huge amount for her, but it could buy Pearl no more than a bag.
Pearl was rich and had helped her before. Her lie earned Ada 8 million.
In Ada's eyes, Pearl was a fool.
"What do you mean?"
Pearl looked at Big Beard and spread her hands.
"Miss, you know her?"
The bearded man did not know Pearl, but he was in the casino all year round. When he saw her clothes and jewelry, he immediately recognized her as rich. "Yeah. But not familiar."
Pearl crossed her arms and took a step back, looking down at the crying Ada.
"Well, then, you may be free to leave. This young lady owes us a debt. Today is the deadline."
Cut... cut off her fingers!
The bearded man raised his machete. Ada nearly fainted from fright.
Pearl was her only chance!
Ada sold some bags and pieces of jewelry, but it was still not enough three million. If she could get Pearl's help, she would be able to escape.
How could she convince Pearl?
Ada wiped the tears off her eyes and begged in a low voice.
"I want to talk to her alone. If I still don't have money to pay the debt, you can cut my fingers."
Ada was silent for a while before looking at the bearded man.
Anyway, it was important to ask for money. What was the use of this bitch's fingers? Even dogs wouldn't eat.
Without too much thinking, the bearded man agreed. He led the group of people to the side, watching them.
"Ada, what game are you playing now? Why should I help you? Because you are pitiful?"
Pearl looked around. There were too many people here who would lose their fingers for debts.
She was here for fun. No one should destroy her good mood.
"Pearl, you have a conflict with Daisy, right? I know a secret."
One could bring disaster to the Cart's.
Ada didn't mean to say it, but her fingers were important. It was more important to save her fingers than keep the secret.
"What secret worth my time to listen?"
Pearl curled her lips. She acted as if she couldn't care less, but she had thought a lot.
Ada would be a better choice to do the thing than herself.
"Here is more than a casino. There is a secret chamber underground."
Since it was a trade, Ada decided to tell Pearl part of the secret. She would keep the other for the money.
"Well, write me an IOU."
Pearl smiled. There was no way for Ada to cheat her money. If Ada was able to provide her with something useful, then she could save the money. "Alright."
Ada couldn't wait, so she wrote an IOU with all the additional conditions, afraid that Pearl would deny it.
"Alright."
Pearl took the IOU and handed it over to Robert. Then, she paid the money.
Ada's eyes were green with envy. Although Pearl's family was a nouveau riche. But she had so much money. There was no need for her to worry as she did. Men's destiny differed so much. Thinking about her own misery, Ada felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Let's go. It's about time. Let's go eat first."
Pearl brought Ada to a high-class restaurant. This restaurant had been Charlee's, but now it was Jane's property.
She could only get enough senses of security when she was on her own territory.
Entering the private room, Pearl handed Ada a cigarette. Then, she lit one herself. The room was immediately filled with smoke.
Robert was intended to stop Pearl but held back. Forget it, Pearl was under too much pressure recently, so she deserved to get some relief.
"Tell me now."
Pearl flicked the cigarette ash and narrowed her eyes to look at Ada.
Ada was strange the moment she went in. Could she fool her?
"Pearl, I want to tell you, but I will die for it."
Ada lowered her eyes. This news was definitely worth more than three million.
"Then how do you pay my debt?"
Pearl wore a playful expression. Ada was the most shameless person she had ever seen.
"If I tell you, when it's leaked, I will not be able to live."
Ada felt a lingering fear after she almost lost her fingers. Now, she no longer cared about her younger brother. Her families were all detestable.
Her parents only cared about their son. For her, they were vampires.
Ada would no longer give anything to them. After all these years, she had repaid them.
"I want money."
Ada didn't hide her thoughts. Her intuition told her not to play tricks on Pearl.
The money she wanted was nothing in Pearl's eyes.
"How dare you ask me for money without a single word about your secret?"
Pearl put out the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray. Ada must have seen her as a piggy bank, right?
Pity. She was a girl, rather than those lecherous old men.
"What I said is true. It's about the Underground Network."
Ada then refused to say anything.00000
