These guys didn't believe the word Susan said. She had used various excuses to deceive them many times before.They were all debt collectors.The man sized up Susan with a lewd look in his eyes and said, "Open the door, let's wait inside. You call your friend now and tell her to bring the money over immediately. $200,000, or you can pay the interest with something else."Susan wasn't stupid; she knew exactly what would happen if she went inside.They wanted her to call Judy, and she knew the danger Judy would be in if she came.The four men had blocked the way, leaving Susan with no chance to run.Susan suddenly regretted her decision to move out from John's place."Guys, I really do have money, I'm not lying. I'll call my friend right now, we can just wait here," Susan said, trembling with fear as she took out her phone to call Judy.Susan had forgotten that she had argued with Judy before, and she had blocked and deleted Judy, who had also blocked her.Susan couldn't get through to
The sound of the phone connecting reignited hope in Susan's heart, and she couldn't help but smile.As long as Judy came, she wouldn't be bullied by these men.The faces of the four men also unconsciously broke into smiles, sinister smiles. They had already thought about how they would play later.Even if Judy came, they wouldn't let Susan go. How could they let go of meat that was already in their mouths?Susan, holding the phone, said joyfully, "Judy..."But before she could finish, the call was hung up on the other end.Very abruptly.Susan was stunned; her smile instantly vanished, and the light of hope in her eyes was extinguished.The man's expression immediately changed: "Why did you hang up the phone?""Susan, you're lying to us again.""Since you can't call your friend, you'll have to serve us instead.""I'll call again right away." Susan was terrified, her voice shaking as if clutching at a straw of life. She dialed Judy again, but this time, it was hung up directly.Hearing
After they left, Susan scrubbed every inch of her body, but she still felt dirty, covered in bruises.Susan cried alone in her rented room, hating Judy.Thinking of her own situation and Judy's marriage into a wealthy family, the vast difference between heaven and earth, she envied Judy even more."Pang!" Feeling frustrated, Susan picked up something and smashed the mirror in her room.Susan stood up and walked to the broken glass. She picked up a shard from the ground, looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, her mouth twisted into a cold smile."Judy, it's all your fault, you've ruined me like this."Susan dared not report to the police, let alone speak out about the incident, because they had taken photos. Once she spoke out, those photos would be posted online, and she would be truly doomed.Susan also knew that after her fallout with Judy, mending their relationship wouldn't be easy. To be precise, it would require an opportunity, and she had plenty of ways to become f
Judy knows that she has offended Amelia, and she's aware that staying here means she'll be in for trouble from Amelia.However, Perona treats her well, and Judy doesn't want to let down her kindness. She decides to stay.As Amelia speaks sarcastically, Judy calmly responds, "Thank you for the compliment."She ignores the sarcasm in Amelia's words and plays dumb.Seeing Judy's composure, Amelia gets even more furious: "Judy, you're gutsy. I fire you, and you come right back. Are you not afraid I'll kill you?"Judy chuckles, "Miss, it's a law-governed society. I believe as long as I haven't done anything wrong, you won't be able to kill me so easily. And I'm just an ordinary person, while you are the Meike Group's daughter, who has an exalted status. If you retaliate against me, it's not worth it. What do you think?"Amelia snorts, "Judy, then you'd better be on your toes. Don't let me find any fault in you, or you'll regret offending me."Judy nods slightly, "Thank you for the warning,
Judy wanted to verify the truth of Aaron's claims and judge his character.To her surprise, Avery said, "His family only has one child, where are the others you mentioned, Judy? Are you talking about a different person?"Judy was surprised, "Only one?" She asked, "Avery, Aaron is in his sixties, his oldest son is named Andrew, and his wife is Scarlett, right?"Avery replied, "His oldest son is indeed Andrew, and when we were little, we even climbed mountains together." She continued, "But his family only has one son, no other children."Judy was puzzled, "The names match, the address is correct, it should be right. Avery, since your family lives nearby, could you please think about it again? Really, there are no other children in his family?"Avery shook her head and then remembered something, "When I was a child, I went to Andrew's house to play and saw his mother with a big belly, but I never saw a child born in their family. I must have been around seven or eight years old at the t
Judy had Layla, a newly arrived colleague, follow her deliberately while she entertained. Layla's purpose was to keep an eye on Judy and report her every move to Amelia.At seven in the evening, Judy arrived at the restaurant with Layla and met Hogan. Hogan was approaching forty, unremarkable in appearance, with his hair thinning.Accompanying Hogan were his secretary and other project managers from different companies who had come to discuss cooperation with him. Judy was just one of them.As soon as Judy appeared, everyone in the room turned their attention towards her. Judy was exceptionally beautiful, and the lighting made her complexion even more radiant. Her good looks and figure naturally attracted the attention of the men present."Hogan, hello, I'm Judy from the Meike Group," Judy introduced herself with a smile. "This is my colleague, Layla."Layla responded timidly, "Hello, Hogan."Judy's unique temperament was particularly enticing. Hogan couldn't take his eyes off her, sm
Judy drank some water and leaned against the wall for a moment, then said to Layla, "Let's go inside."The dinner gathering was not yet over, and she needed to secure the contract, getting Hogan to sign the papers."Okay." Layla still seemed meek and obedient.Just as Judy was about to re-enter the room, Louis walked towards them from the other end of the corridor and caught a glimpse of Judy.Louis muttered, "Isn't that Judy?"He was aware that Judy had registered her marriage with Lewis and was quite surprised at the time, but quickly accepted the reality.Louis didn't go looking for Judy, instead, he looked at the room name that Judy had entered and went to find Lewis.Lewis was also at the dinner, so Louis said to him, "Big Brother, I just saw Judy. She's also eating at this restaurant, on the ground floor in a room."Lewis's eyebrows arched slightly, "Anyone else?"Louis truthfully replied, "Yes, she's with a woman too."Lewis wanted to send Judy a message to ask what was going o
Hogan immediately caught on, smiling as he said to everyone, "I'll step out for a moment, you all continue eating."Hogan was in high spirits, his face beaming with the anticipation of what was to come.Exiting the room, he hurried to the adjacent one.Pushing open the door, he found the room pitch black, with the curtains drawn and the lights off.Rubbing his hands together, Hogan said, "Playing hide and seek with me? I like it. Judy, I'm coming, I see you..."He hadn't actually seen her; he was deliberately saying that.His eyes scanned the darkness when he heard a noise behind him. Hogan reached out to grab, but missed."Don't tease me, I'm going to turn on the light," Hogan said as he reached for the switch. As the light came on, he saw Judy trying to leave through the door.Impulsively, Hogan rushed forward and embraced Judy. "Finally got you. Stop playing hard to get, I can't take it anymore. There's no one here, let's have some fun first, and then I'll sign the contract for you
