Chapter <b>311 </b>


    Dn pounced on Peachie, protecting her in her embrace. However, George still kicked her mercilessly on her arm.


    Dn screamed in a hoarse voice, yet George cursed her, “Useless woman! How dare youe back! I told you to get the money from that bastard, yet you couldn’t even get a few hundred thousand dors from her.


    “Tell me! Are you doing this on purpose so that they’ll kill me?”


    He cursed as he unbuckled his belt and whipped Dn’s back.


    There was a loud and crisp smack. The man’s continuous humiliation and curses resounded in the house.


    “Let me remind you of one thing. You’ll have to suffer when I suffer. I’ll sell this little bitch abroad and make her some man’s mistress if you don’t get me what I want.”


    Dn hugged Peachie and cried. In the end, the beating stopped because George was tired. He fell onto a chair and scratched his face in frustration.


    Then, he kicked Dn as he said in a deep and cold voice, “I’m not kidding. I owe them an amount of money. If I don’t clear my debt, we’ll all die!”


    Dn was startled and looked at him in disbelief. “What do you mean?”


    “What do I mean? What could I mean? I borrowed money from loan sharks.”


    George did not seem to realize his mistake. “Your heartless daughter refuses to help me, so I could only think of something to help myself.”


    Dn understood the situation they were in now. She hugged Peachie and sat there in a daze as tears flowed down her cheeks.


    Mnie knew nothing about what happened in Hearth City.


    She went with Xander to meet Quentin.


    They had arranged to meet him in a café in the city center. He came with Lisa.


    Lisa was not surprised to see Mnie and greeted her with a smile.


    Quentin stretched out his hand and pretended to be polite, yet his eyes regarded Mnie. ” Mnie, I’m happy we’ll be working together again.”


    Mnie did not shake his hand. She did not want to have any skin contact with Quentin.


    Xander pushed Quentin’s hand away and said calmly, “Mr. Emerson, let’s talk about business and forgo the greetings.”


    Quentin looked at Mnie, feeling pity for his missed chance. Even so, he quickly hid his lustful expression. Grinning, he said, “You both know about the agreement between Vanke Group and Dreamcatchers. So, I’m meeting you to discuss the cooperation.


    “We’re businessmen. We don’t need to make things difficult and ruin our rtionship.”


    Xander lifted his eyes slightly. He looked cold and distant when he said nothing.


    He stared at Quentin indifferently. “Mr. Emerson, do you mean if we choose not to cooperate, you’ll make things difficult for us?”


    Quentin was still calm. “Why would you think so?”


    Xander scoffed. “Mr. Emerson, you’re indeed good at threatening others.”


    Quentin smiled and looked at Mnie. He said, “Mnie has once worked in LeapCo. I’m sure she knows what I mean.”


    His tone sounded a little weird. Mnie even felt a little disgusted upon hearing him speak.


    It was different from being nauseous. Mnie felt as if she had seen something dirty that disgusted her.


    However, she still suppressed her difort as she looked at Quentin expressionlessly. “Let me be frank. We can’t ept the cooperation terms you suggested.


    “We did everything, including the proposal and idea. Meanwhile, Dreamcatchers is trying to take away the result of our hard work with otherpanies.”
