As soon as they heard their mother's miserable cry, as well as her asking them t o look who was behind them, the three sisters stopped fighting at the same time. They looked toward their mother altogether.
"How could you still have the mind to fight? First, take a look at who is behind you!" Their mother's cries became even more miserable and hopeless.
The three sisters turned around and looked behind them at the same time. There were six tall and strong men dressed in all black standing behind them. One of the men, who was the leader, said coldly, "You said your brother is the most outstanding and the youngest doctor at the best hospital in South City, and he also has a property here. Not only does your brother have a property, but he also has many friends in South City, who were all the wealthy relatives of his patients. Your family has truly made such exaggerated empty promises to us. At first, we didn’t even believe you. We then followed you to South City. After we saw your brother, we believed you. You bunch o f broke fools truly had such an outstanding brother. It's just such a pity that all of you are too vicious. In the past, those thieves who stole pigs, cows, and whatnot from others in the middle of the night would even leave some loose change behind to take it as they’ve already paid for it. On the other hand, not only did you not even spend a single penny, but you even want to leech off your brother till there's nothing left of him. We're debt collectors, but we can't be compared to you. We are not as cruel as you!"
He continued. "However, you've shot yourselves in the foot! You were so vicious and you thought your brother would obediently submit to you, but you didn’t expect that he would have even stronger support! Never would you have thought that your brother truly is a young master of the Ford family in South City! There goes your hope, right? Damn it! We're truly unlucky! We had followed you all the way here. Not only did we not get any interest, but we can't get back the slightest bit of our capital as well! We can’t afford to afford the Ford family in South City! However, you, as well as your children, will have to be ours! Get up and come with us obediently! The oldest one..."
The man surveyed the eldest sister, Abigail, from the top to bottom. "You’re rather old. You're fifty, right? Shit, you truly aren't worth anything anymore. It's a good thing that you've kept yourself in good shape. It’s still passable if you pretend to b e forty. We'll send you to the worst place then. No matter what you do, you have to pay twenty-thousand dollars a month! You will have five years. I think you'll probably also be ruined after five years!"
Abigail was so scared that her legs immediately turned to jelly. She was unable to cry out loud anymore. She barely supported herself and begged the man dressed in black. "No, please...you can't be this cruel. This is a public street..."
The man in black smiled calmly. "Alright, I'll be your daughter then..."
"No, no, no, I'll go, I'll go!" Chloe said frantically.
"Yes, that's how a mother should be. The way your parents treated your brother truly is not something a human should have done, let alone parents. Get in!" The man criticized lightly.
Chloe obediently followed the men behind the man in black and got in a black car not far away. She did not dare to scream and shout at all. Immediately after that, it was the second sister of the Payne family, Ashnah's, turn. The man, who was dressed: n black, had a slightly better attitude toward Ashnah compared to how he was with Chloe.
"You’re slightly prettier than your sister, but you owe us more money than her.
You'll be given five years as well, but you'll get a slightly better treatment compared to your sister. It's up to you if you want to walk to the car or ..." the man dressed in black said.
Ashnah still had blood on her face. It was from the fight she had with her sisters earlier on. She did not even bother wiping off the blood on her face, and she looked at the man dressed in black with a miserable expression. "H-How much do I-I have to make every month?"
"Fifty thousand," said the man casually.
"F-Fifty thousand? Then, I'll have to..." Ashnah's face went pale. She was already forty-six years old. If it was the charm for a n elegant lady, she did have that, but what about the beauty of a youthful girl?
