Chapter <b>386 </b>
“All you know is to eat! Is there anything else you know?!”
Dn pressed her lips but said nothing. Her face was swollen, and it hurt when she made any
movements<b>. </b>
George began to stare at her from the corner of his <b>eyes</b><b>. </b>“Think <b>of </b>something, damn it! Tyrone says I’m dead if I don’t pay up!”
It was raining heavily when Xander returned.
<b>‘ </b>
Mnie asked, “How’s the progress?”
Before Xander said anything, Reny sighed. “Vi went outstation for work yesterday. She must have said something before she left because everyone else said they can’t make any decisions for the contract<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie frowned. “Why didn’t you see Lee?”
Lee had been following up with this, and things had been working smoothly with him in charge.
Mnie had nned to wait until Vi left so that she could reach out to Lee.
“He has been sent <b>to </b>the South <b>district </b>for work.<b>” </b>
The atmosphere in the room turned cold. With everyone away<b>, </b>Eugene was the only <b>person </b>left to
handle the contract.
Mnie thought about this. Before she said anything<b>, </b>Xander spoke up<b>, </b>“<b>We </b>can handle LeapCo. Burning Star has been through lots of obstacles before we got to where we are today.”
Oliver nodded. “Do you know why <b>we’re </b>called Burning <b>Star</b>?”
He smiled. “It’s because a spark can turn into a wildfire<b>. It’s </b>just a minor obstacle. <b>We </b>can ovee
this<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Mnie did not think <b>there </b>were any connections between the <b>contract </b>and Burning Star’s story<b>, </b>but if Xander and the others did not want her <b>to </b>get involved, she would not ask anything about it.
Besides, George was still in Jepton. She was worried he would bring trouble <b>to </b>Xander and the others<b>. </b>
Despite this<b>, </b>she ended up going to LeapCo the next <b>day</b>.
However, it was not what <b>she </b>had <b>nned </b>to do<b>. </b>
When Yana <b>called </b>her, <b>it </b><b>was </b>working hours.
Xander and the others had <b>received </b><b>a </b><b>call </b>from the government department. The department had not settled anything with Dreamcatchers <b>yet</b>.
Something seemed to be happening where Yana was, and she sounded urgent. “Come <b>to </b>LeapCo,
Mnie. Something terrible has happened!”
When Mnie arrived at LeapCo, there were crowds gathered at the mini square outside of LeapCo’s
doors.
She was shocked. Mnie saw a short, fat man standing there.
Her face fell as she walked over. It was George Chapman.
He was holding a small piece of broken wood. The words written with paint read, ‘Pay your debt,
LeapCo‘.
Yana was in the crowd. When she saw Mnie, <b>she </b><b>came </b>over with her head lowered. She whispered, ” He came early this morning. The security guards initially stopped him froming in<b>, </b>but heter imed to be your father. <b>He </b>said he’s here to <b>get </b>Mr. Scott to pay up…”
Before Yana could finish, Mnie understood immediately what had happened. She took a deep breath and said hoarsely to Yana, “Call the police<b>. </b>Call the police right now.<b>” </b>
Yana felt a little sympathy for Mnie. It was a lifetime of bad luck to have such a family.
Thest time her mother came <b>to </b>demand money from Mr. <b>Scott</b>, it had already turned Mnie into aughingstock.
Yana was about to do it when she looked up with <b>a </b>stunned expression, <b>“</b>Mr. <b>Scott</b><b>… </b>
Mnie was taken aback, and she turned back <b>slowly</b>, only to meet Eugene’s dark eyes.
They were cold and dark.
It looked like a storm was brewing in them.
