Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 

Severin was slightly surprised to hear that. “That doesn’t sound right. You’re working in a bar, and your salary probably isn’t very low. How is it that you still owe them a little under nine thousand when you’ve been paying them back for a year? Didn’t you only borrow about eight thousand dollars?” 

“Well, those people are all a bunch of crooks. Their interest rate is very high to begin with, and they even tampered with the contract. I fell for their trap out of carelessness, and I can’t pay them back regardless of how hard I work now. That’s the reason the debt keeps accumulating.” 

Queenie smiled bitterly and continued, “By the way, last night, a rich guy wanted to take me out, saying that he’d give me fifteen thousand in exchange for spending the night with him. I hesitated for a long time, but I rejected him in the end. But that doesn’t change the fact of how scared I was of myself…I’m worried that I’d one day give in to the temptation of money.” 

Severin nodded. “I see. Alright then, it’s getting a bit late, so why don’t you take me to those people tomorrow morning? I’ll help you return the money tomorrow.” 

Although those people were despicable, Severin did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, and he was fine with helping her return the money. After all, it was only nine thousand dollars, and it was not a lot for him. 

“I’m sorry!” Queenie looked at Severin and could not help but smile. “You saved me, but I slapped you instead. The main reason is because I thought your family was hiding from us and had escaped somewhere in secret. After all, I couldn’t get through to Aunt Judith and Uncle Maurice, so I thought you guys were planning not to return the money to us.” 

“It’s alright. I’m the one who should say sorry. Your family has been helping mine in the was in prison, and we won’t just run off now that I’ve returned.” Severin comforted her with a smile. He finally understood what his cousin was feeling.
