Chapter 1147:
The implication in those words was too strong; there was no need for the man to say more to understand the meaning behind them.Xylia Xandrell’s face suddenly changed dramatically, and she stepped back, putting some distance between herself and the bald man, with fear in her eyes.
Lily Johnson was also anxious upon hearing this. Although she was somewhat of a gambler, she had never thought of selling her daughter.
"No, no, we’ll pay back the money, but you can’t take my daughter away!"
Lily Johnson hurriedly said.
The bald man changed from his previously smiling demeanor, glaring viciously at Lily Johnson.
"No? If you can’t pay back the money, it’s not up to you to say what can or cannot happen!"
Xylia Xandrell bit her lip tightly for a while before she found her voice again.
"I will pay back the money, so can we leave now?" Xylia Xandrell was almost too exhausted to speak.
"Wait, you can leave, but your parents have to stay. Otherwise, if you run off, where would I find you?"
Xylia Xandrell gritted her teeth, staying silent, knowing that the other party would never let them go.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the bald man pursing his lips before suddenly adding.
"But let me say the ugly words upfront: one day late, the interest is a hundred thousand, but my memory isn’t that good, so if you’re late by a day, I’ll leave a mark on them. It’ll save me from forgetting how much interest you owe. However, as for the depth and location, I can’t guarantee that."
The bald man still wore a full smile, yet spoke the most cruel and terrifying words as if they were nothing.
It was precisely this demeanor that was even more alarming, clearly showing that he was not joking.
Xylia Xandrell was so frightened by his words that she almost couldn’t stand.
Her eyes widened instantly, looking at the bald man in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe he would actually do such a thing.
Wasn’t this forcing her onto a dead-end road?
At this point, Bella Green, who had been silent, couldn’t help but furrow her brow and look at the bald man.
She hadn’t mentioned borrowing money; she merely thought of having Lily Johnson detained for a few days to scare her, hoping it would teach her a lesson and make Xylia Xandrell see clearly.
But she never expected the man to be so ruthless—to carve a mark on someone just for being a day late?
Though she hadn’t experienced such things, she clearly understood that this wasn’t how things should work.
If afraid Xylia Xandrell wouldn’t repay the money, they could just detain her; there was no need for this.
Xylia Xandrell thought of this too, biting her lip and taking a deep breath before speaking.
"Are you forcing me to pay back the money by tomorrow?"
The bald man suddenly laughed upon hearing this, his eyes narrowing to slits, giving a somewhat innocuous impression.
"Just a million, if you’re sincere, you’ll definitely be able to pay it back."
With just one sentence, Xylia Xandrell’s eyes turned red, the pain in her heart almost tearing it apart.
Bella Green thought she was in a hurry and stepped forward to grab her arm, only to be sharply shaken off.
Bella Green, caught off guard, stumbled and nearly fell, looking at Xylia Xandrell in astonishment.
Xylia Xandrell was looking straight at her, her eyes terrifyingly red, filled with inexplicable anger, which frightened Bella Green somewhat.
More than anything else, it was confusion and puzzlement.
"Xylia Xandrell? What’s wrong?"
Xylia Xandrell looked at Bella Green, and rationality was almost overwhelmed by anger.
If earlier she was scared senseless, only thinking about that million.
After hearing what the bald man said, how could she not understand what this was all about?
This was a conspiracy, a conspiracy targeting her!
