Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) -
Chapter 234
Chapter 234
"Ms. Stewart, stop playing the victim with me! Don't think that just because you've found a sugar daddy, you're in the clear. Now that your sugar daddy has abandoned you, you should figure out a way to snag another rich guy and have your mom pay off the 80 million dollars in gambling debts that she owes us. Then, maybe I'll let you off!"
"80 million dollars?"
Clara's face turned pale. "How could she owe so much money?"
"What do you think?"
The older men exchanged glances. Clara suddenly realized, "You're loan sharks. What you're doing is illegal!"
"Illegal?" The men burst into laughter.
"Who do you think you are? Are you talking about the law with us? Debts must be repaid. Your mother signed the 100 herself. It's her responsibility to pay it back."
"I have nothing to do with her anymore! Why should I pay her debts?"
"Debts of the mother are paid by the daughter. Do you think changing your identity means that you're off the hook?"
One of the men held up a birth certificate and sneered. "I have all your and your mother's details right here. As long as you owe us money, you can't escape.
At that moment, Olivia returned to the private room. She pretended to be confused. "What's going on? Why is everyone standing? Let's sit and eat."
Clara composed herself and quickly sat down. However, her face was still pale, and she couldn't eat a bite.
"Ms. Brown, I don't feel well.. I think I should leave."
"Is it serious? Do you need me to take you home?" "No, it's fine." Clara practically fled from the room
Olivia watched her leave with a steely expression.
50, Ms. Brown, how about we discuss business?" one of the men said. He placed his hand inappropriately on Olivia's leg
Olivia merely smiled. Then, she stood up and said, "Sorry, tonight's meal is on me. Enjoy yourself."
With that, Olivia left the room, leaving the men looking bewildered.
Meanwhile, Maeve had already received the surveillance footage.
She knew clearly that these people were not to be trifled with. They were shady businessmen who should not be provoked. However, with this footage, she could finally uncover some of Clara's secrets. Watching the video and listening to Clara's conversation with the men, Maeve pondered over what they had meant by Clara faking her death.
As Maeve was considering this, the office's phone suddenly rang. She answered, and a policeman on the other end said, "Ms. Scott? We're from Seathbum City's police department."
"Yes?"
"We've identified the anonymous online poster. However
"What is it?"
"The poster died five years ago."
"Five years ago? The person is already dead?"
Maeve was stunned. Her mind flashed back to what the men in the video had said.
"Your mother owes us five years' worth of gambling debts!"
"Don't think you can just fake your death and latch onto a rich guy to clear your debts!"
"Five years of debt and taking death..." Maeve murmured.
Marve quickly pieced it together. So, this was Clara's secret.
At that moment, there was a knock on the office's door. Larry walled in and said, "Madam, Mr. Brooks has asked me to bring you houne." Chapter 235
