It was noisy where Ron was; Leah could hear people talking in the background.
“Ron, is your girlfriend calling you?” “Ask her to join us! It’s been a while.” “Girlfriend? Ron, you have a
girlfriend now?” “……”
Leah frowned. The noise finally stopped after a while. Ron spoke mischievously, “Have you borrowed
from a loan shark? Or has someone tried to mess with you?”
“No to both your questions,” Leah replied, “Now you should answer my question.”
Ron answered, “First of all, loan shark harassment is an offense. Secondly, loan sharks who dare to do
such things are usually backed by the cops. So, the cops would simply turn a blind eye to unimportant
cases like this.”
Ron pulled out a cigarette. He took a puff before he continued. “I’d say anyone who’s borrowing from
loan sharks is pretty shady. Why are you asking anyway? Is someone you know borrowing from loan
sharks?”
Ron raised an eyebrow. Leah’s heart sank hearing his answer. The cops would not care about such
cases; she should have known it. She sighed, “It’s nothing. Just asking.”
Not buying her answer, Ron asked impatiently, “Tell me if you’re in any trouble. I’ll take care of it for
you.” Leah refused his offer, “It’s really nothing.”
“Fine. If you say so,” Ron shrugged. He asked instead, “Where are you now? I’ll go to you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Why?” Leah was puzzled. Ron put out his cigarette as he chuckled, “I miss you.”
At a loss for words, she ended the call abruptly. She thought Ron was a nice guy, but he talked too
much nonsense for her taste.
After breakfast, Leah was about to leave for money withdrawal, when she saw a black Bentley outside
her house. She was startled for a moment and she continued walking.
Han watched her from his car until she was out of his sight. He tightened his grip. He knew she saw
him in the car, but why did she ignore him?
Leah kept walking for a while before turning around to see if Han was following her. She was relieved
to find no car following her.
She thought maybe he was simply passing by and maybe he did not intend to look for her. He had lost
his memory, hadn’t he? He should have forgotten where she stayed by now.
Leah went to the bank to open a new account. She deposited 40 thousand dollars into the account.
At 6 p.m., she began to make a move to the abandoned chop shop Jack had asked yesterday to meet
at. The sun was setting and it started to get chilly.
She wrapped herself tightly with her jacket and she made sure her dagger was in place. She hid a
dagger by her waist underneath her black jacket. Feeling secure with her dagger, she slowly walked
into the abandoned chop shop.
The rusty gates squeaked and echoed in the space as she pushed them open. Her heart raced as she
entered the chop shop.
Someone called out to her. “Hey, you’re early. Got the money?” Leah was shocked. She took a deep
breath to stifle the urge to scream.
“Where’s Regina?” Leah tried to remain calm. “I need to know she’s safe.” Her soft voice echoed in the
abandoned chop shop.
Jack grinned as he examined Leah from head to toe. Leah was wearing a black jacket over a dress
which showed off her long legs. She was undoubtedly a stunning beauty.
He lifted a satisfied smile, “Bring her here.” Following his order, a few men went away and they
returned with Regina. Regina was starving and she looked terrible; Her makeup was smeared and her
hair was unkempt.
Seeing Leah there, Regina yelled at her, “Stay out of my business, you nosy bitch!” Leah pursed her lip
and she was relieved to see Regina unharmed otherwise.
“Now, where’s my money?” Jack asked, grinning. Leah slowly took out a bank card from her purse,
“I’ve deposited 40 thousand dollars into this account.”
Jack’s eyes gleamed with greed. He was about to grab the bank card when Leah took it away. He
frowned. “What are you trying to pull here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah glanced at Regina and she said as calmly as she could, “How do I know if I can trust you? Let her
go first, and then I will give you the money.”
“Bitch, don’t try to mess with me,” Jack scowled. Leah replied, poker-faced, “I have no reason to trick
you. I only want to make sure she’s safe and the money’s all yours.”
Jack looked at her and Regina. Even if they were to try to pull a fast one, they wouldn’t be able to run
away from him and his men. He made up his mind.
He walked toward Regina. With a mocking grin, he lightly tapped her face. “You should be grateful your
bestie is here to save you.” Regina glowered, “She’s not my bestie! She’s a busybody and nothing
more.”
“I don’t care,” Jack pushed Regina toward Leah. Regina staggered and Leah quickly tried to help her
steady herself. Annoyed, Regina frowned at Leah.
Regina had never thought Leah would save her after what Regina said. She hated Leah’s guts for
taking away what belonged to her. Now this woman was here to rescue her.
“Are you okay?” Leah asked Regina with a concerned look. Regina avoided eye contact with her and
she simply shook her head.
“It’s not the time to catch up now. Where’s my money?” Jack urged. Now she had made sure Regina
was safe, Leah threw the bank card toward Jack. “Take it.”
As Jack tried to grab the card, Leah attempted to leave the chop shop with Regina.
