She truly was not considered young and beautiful anymore. At the age of forty-six, she was asked to earn fifty thousand dollars a month to pay off her debt. Would she still make it out alive?
"Could it be less..."
"Sixty thousand dollars a month, then." The man dressed in black was still as calm.
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go..." Ashnah knew that if she were to continue bargaining there, the amount may be raised to two thousand dollars a night. She then frantically crawled over to that black car not far away from her.
Abigail was the only one left on the ground. She lifted her tearful face and smiled as she looked at that man dressed in black. " Sir, I-I am only one year shy of forty. With my figure and my looks, I..." "Mm-hmm. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars a month." The man did not even look at Abigail.
"No...” Abigail was so frightened that her face was as white as a sheet.
"Three hundred thousand dollars then."
"I can.I can accompany the..." Abigail was very tempted to say that with her beauty, she was able to accompany the leader of their gang. When she was taking a loan from them back then, it was because of her beauty that she was able to loan one million dollars more than her sisters.
"Yes, I know that it’s very easy for you to make three hundred thousand dollars a month. That's why I gave you a bigger target compared to your sisters. If you think it's very easy, I can set the target a little higher..." "No, no! No need. I'll get in the car myself." Abigail dejectedly crawled toward that car not far away.
The men had dirt on the three sisters, so they did not dare to resist them at all. Their conversation was extremely vague. From a n outsider's point of view, it was simply a dispute among a family, especially when Abigail was smiling at that man dressed in black the whole time. How would the outsiders know what was going on? However, when Lucius and his wife watched their three daughters being held i n the car without knowing if they would ever be able to make it out alive, they were simply stunned.
Those were their daughters. Their three daughters. They only had these three daughters in their life, and they had always loved them more than life! They had never treated them with inequality even when they had a son. Were they really going to be destroyed and defiled by others like that? However, what other ways do they have?
"Both of you are already so old. We are civilized people and never disrespect the elderly. I will buy train tickets for both of you in a while and send you back home. What do you think? We're still quite humane, right?" The man dressed in black looked at the old couple extremely seriously.
The couple was speechless.
A full minute later, the old lady suddenly threw her head back and threw up a mouthful of blood. "Karma! This is all karma! Us spending money to buy a baby i s the greatest harm we've caused others! W e had never even loved him after we bought this child. We only harmed and leeched off him. Not only did we stand idly by and not save the child, but we even rubbed salt into his wound and attempted t o have him killed. After we saw that he had made a comeback, we still wishfully thought of continuing leeching off him. This is truly retribution for us! God! I've made too many mistakes in this life, and I'm too ashamed to be living in this world anymore."
After saying that, the old lady, who was feeling hopeless beyond measure, suddenly rushed toward the concrete pillar of the overpass next to her and knocked herself on it.
There was a loud bang and the old lady died on the spot.
"Dear..." Lucius shouted at the top of his lungs and quickly rushed over to his wife.
