GET IT NOW
Chapter 618
Timothy turned to Heath and instructed. “Take him to the bathroom and get him cleaned up.”
Despite his initial inclination to step in, Heath hesitated out of fear of becoming Ginger’s next target.
Upon receiving Timothy’s order, he promptly escorted the disheveled Caleb to the bathroom.
Seeing Caleb being led away. Ginger felt a twinge of frustration.
She turned to Timothy, exclaiming. “Tim, put me down first! I want to teach that jerk a lesson!”
Timothy complied, but he confiscated her backpack.
He stood up and peered inside the backpack, hoping to find some information about Ginger’s family.
“Timothy, give me back my backpack!” Ginger cried out, jumping up and down on the floor. Despite her
efforts, s
she was too short to reach even his thighs.
Frustrated, she climbed onto the sofa, attempting to tiptoe and stretch her chubby little hands to grab her
backpack.
But she still couldn’t reach it!
On the verge of tears, Ginger exclaimed, “Tim, you’re being unfair!”

Ginger lowered her head and remained silent.
“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll just dial them one by one,” he threatened.
“Please don’t! I’ll tell you,” Ginger replied, looking somewhat reluctant.
She couldn’t believe Timothy had taken her Apple watch; the thought of him dialing each number was utterly intimidating.
What if he called Uncle Dominic, Uncle Nathan, Uncle Connor, Uncle Claude, Uncle Jason, or Uncle Liam?
She’d be exposed immediately!
Seeing the mischievous Ginger finally behaving, Timothy settled onto the sofa and pulled out his phone, glancing over at her. “So, what’s her phone number?” he asked.
Ginger paused for a moment, contemplating her next move. Nonetheless, Timothy swiftly caught on. “If you give me a fake number again, I’ll have to take you to the police station.”
