Chapter 34 You Used to Like Him Before
Chapter 34 You Used to Like Him Before
"Gwen, you''ve gone too far." There was a hint of anger in Martin''s tone.
"Aren''t you the one who has gone too far instead?" His daughter drove over her with the car on
purposest night. If Edison hadn''t shown up, she would probably be lying in the hospital now, or
dead.
"You''re already an adult now, why are you not sensible at all?" Martinined angrily, regretting
coming here.
Hearing the sound of him stomping downstairs, Gwenyth loosened her grip on the broom. She fell
down on the sofa beside her, panting heavily, and beat her chest several times to calm herself
down.
Since Martin knew that they were living here, he would probablye over again the second time.
It''s better for them to move.
After regaining her cool, she stood up, put the broom back in the kitchen, and took out the
ingredients to cook from the fridge, starting to prepare for dinner. Soon night fell and she had
finished cooking dinner.
She went into the room to pack her things. Since the summer clothes were thin, they didn''t take up
much space. She stuffed them into her backpack and didn''t pack too much- just two sets of clothes
and a pair of canvas shoes.
After finishing her chores, she put her bag on the sofa, sitting on it while waiting for Urs and
Susie''s return.
When it was almost eight o''clock, she heard familiar footsteps from the stairs outside. Not long after,
the clinking sound of the key resounded outside the door. She got up and opened the door.
Noticing Gwenyth was at home with a beautiful dress on, Urs''s eyes sparkled. "Is this dress...
from your boyfriend?"
She hummed in affirmation and said, "Mom, dinner''s ready."
"Thank you."
"Mom, I was almost hit by a car when I came backst night. Edison broke his hand in order to save
me. I was taking care of himst night. He wanted me to stay with him for the time being. Since his
hand was in a ster cast, he can''t do anything. And, he lives alone so no one is there to take care
of him."
She didn''t return homest night, yet guessing who she was with, Urs didn''t ask her.
"Mom, his ster cast will be removed in about a month, and I''ll be back by then."
Patting Gwenyth on her shoulder gently, Urs said, "Just stay there if you want to. You''re already
a grown-up now, I believe you''re mature enough to make your own decision. There''s no need to ask
my permission for everything."
Gwenyth was a little surprised as she thought Urs would disagree.
"Gwen, you''ve sacrificed a lot for us. Thank you, my daughter. If Edison is serious about your
rtionship, then you should seize this chance tightly and don''t let him go. But, if he''s just ying
around with you, then you must leave him as soon as possible."
"Got it."
"You used to like him before, didn''t you?"
Gwenyth became embarrassed while listening to her words. "Nah, not at all."
"You''re my daughter, how could I don''t understand you?"
"Mom, stop making fun of me."
Lowering her head, Gwenyth picked up the backpack on the sofa, took out half the amount of the
sry she received from the hotel, and give it to Urs. "Mom, here you go."
"What about you? Do you still have money left to spend?"
"I still have some on me."
"Really?"
"Yes, don''t worry about me."
"You have to keep some money on you, don''t spend Edison''s money on everything, that''s not a
good choice."
"Got it. By the way, the food is in the pot, remember to eat it." Before Gwenyth could continue
saying anything to Urs, the ponderous footsteps resounded from the stairs.
Hearing the stomping sound of the footsteps as if there were many people climbing toward the
stairs, Gwenyth has an ominous feeling in her heart.
Don''t tell me that the dunners''ing, she thought. Deep inside, she hoped that it wouldn''t be
those people, but the more she was afraid of something, the more it woulde true.
The anti-theft door was soon knocked loudly. Susie shrank her shoulders and hid in Gwenyth''s arms
immediately. Without hesitation, Gwenyth led Susie into the bedroom and reminded her, "C''mon
Susie, quickly hide up."
"Open the door, I know you''re at home. If you don''t open the door, we''ll break up the door directly,"
spoke the one who was standing outside the door with a hoarse, terrifying voice.
It wasn''t their first time breaking into the house.
Inside, Gwenyth was nervous as cold sweat trickled down from her forehead. She turned her head
to look at the bedroom, confirming that Urs had locked Susie inside, then only did she muster her
courage to open the door.
A few tall, muscr men strode in one after another. Tensed by their existence, she stepped back
anxiously.
"Yo! We''ve got the beauty here!"
Gwenyth took a step backward instinctively.
"Are you going to pay me back today?"
"I''m afraid I can''t."
"Hah! You''re always speaking the same word. You must pay me back all your debts, do you think
we have nothing to do but run to this shitty ce of yours?"
"I really don''t have any money with me right now."
Before Seis got angry, Gwenyth continued speaking, "But soon, I''ll be having money."
"When is it?"
"I just got a new job, and I can earn three million dors in three months."
Seis narrowed his eyes as listening to her words. "You''re dragging my time and n to move away,
right?"
"No."
"Do I look as gullible as a three-year-old?"
"It''s been four years. Even if you''re not tired of chasing us, we''re tired of running. Give us a little
more time. My job pays monthly, I can get a million dors in a month."
Seis stared into her eyes, hesitating to believe her words or not.
"Still, three million dors is not enough. You owe me five million dors."
"But we''ve already paid back a lot before, and you guys keep moving out our family''s stuff."
Noticing Gwenyth''s serious expression, Seis found it somehow funny. He sneered, "Do you think
that money counts? Their sum doesn''t even reach a hundred thousand dors! They are merely
interest- five million dors is the principal, not a penny less."
"No way, you''re going too far."
"We just charged you a hundred thousand dors as interest. Do you think we''re going too far?"
Gwenyth halted, and couldn''t retort his words back. They weren''t the ones that she could offend.
Also, if they really haggle over the money, she''d be afraid that the four-year interest is more than a
hundred thousand dors.
"Okay, I''ll pay you five million dors. But, we can only pay you back the three million dors first,
please give us some time to prepare the remaining two million dors."Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
Hearing that she has money to pay back, Seis decided not to make things difficult for her. "I''ll only
make up my mind about it after you pay me back the three million dors."
"Of course, I will."
"Don''t y petty tricks on me." He reached out his finger and flicked on her forehead. "If you dare to
run away, I''ll find you and break your legs first, then drag you to sell. With your beauty, I suppose
you should be worth some money."
"Rest assured, we won''t run away," Gwenyth forced herself to be calm. Yet, Urs was frozen by
her words.
Three million dors for three months? What kind of job did she find that could earn so much?
After giving a few more warnings to them, Seis led his four men behind him and strut away. This
was the only time they didn''t smash and destroy.
The house was in good condition when they left, even Urs couldn''t believe what had just
happened.
Seeing that Gwenyth picked up her shoulder bag to leave, she went up and pulled her back.
"Gwen, are your words true?"
