Callan Handerson smiled faintly and stretched out towards the low cabinet on the side. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Savannah Lea. "Look at it clearly. This is the receipt from the hotel that night. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. The hotel kept the record."
She looked at the receipt and her heart turned cold. How could she have expected that things would turn out like this?
"I don't have that much money!" Savannah exclaimed in panic.
Callan's mouth curved slightly as he thought silently, "I knew it!"
"You don't have money? Well, I'll give you two choices. First, get off the car. Try to earn 150,000 dollars in three days and pay me back, or I'll see you at the police station. Second ... " He stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms easily. 11 8e my woman, and I'll pay for the expenses that night! Not only that, and I'll also give you whatever you want in the future."
She looked up at him and a panic that she had never felt before came to her mind. "Does this mean that I am getting paid to be his woman?"
"You ... the latter option is what you want, isn't it?" Savannah cried.
"Smart!" Callan lowered his head with satisfaction and as if he wanted to kiss her.
Savannah covered her mouth with her hand in time, and said, "Wait, I choose the first option! 150,000 dollars, right? Okay! I'll pay it back! I'll find a way to pay you back within three days!"
"Oh?" Callan's eyes and tone grew cold. "Okay, then 1'11 wait."
He let her go, as promised.
When she ran back to the dormitory, Savannah was sweating and her heart was beating extremely fast. Thinking of what just happened, it felt like a dream. It was too surreal! 150,000 dollars! Where could she get so much money?
Even if she had no money, how could she put her dignity and future at stake just because of a mistake? That man was obviously trying to force her to do so! She was not that stupid to sell herself for 150,000 dollars!
Savannah Lea checked her bank account, and her savings these years, with her part-time job salary and scholarship, totaled up to less than 20,000 dollars! She thought of asking her grandma for money, but, how could there be any more money with her grandma after spending so much on Savannah all these years? Savannah cracked her head in anxiety, but she really couldn't think of where to get the money!
There was no other way. She had no choice but to look for Walden George.
She did not dare go to the George family. As long as her stepmother Hilda Kent was around, she would not be able to ask for money successfully.
She went to the principal' s office in City T University' s administrative building.
Although she was a student at City T University, this was the first time of her coming here. And the person inside was her biological father, who was supposed to be her closest relative!
Savannah called Walden's mobile phone from outside the door, and said, "Hello, it's me."
"Savannah?" Obviously, Walden did not expect that his daughter would call him. It had been 14 years since his ex-wife passed away. This was the first time that his daughter took the initiative to call him!
"I'm at the door of your office. I need to talk to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the principal's office was opened. Walden came out and said, "Savannah, come on in. What's the matter?"
Savannah broke away from Walden's grasp unceremoniously, and said bluntly, "I am here to borrow some money from you."
