Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928 She Owes Money

Time flies by in the blink of an eye. Rhys closed his computer and got up, preparing to go home.

Almost at the same time, Jenna also stood up.

"I have a social engagement tonight, you can go back by yourself," Rhys glanced at her and walked away with long strides.

He deliberately sent the driver away to make things difficult for Jenna.

Jenna had planned to take a taxi home, but after searching through her bag, she realized that she had forgotten to bring any money with her. With no other options available, she was forced to walk home.

"You're such a penny-pincher, even though you're a CEO. It's fine that you sent the driver away, but at least leave me some spare change!"

On the way back, Jenna kept cursing Rhys in her mind.

As she was passing by a small alley, several men suddenly emerged from the side and surrounded her in the middle.

"Jenna, I heard you married a wealthy man, so you should have quite a bit of money, right? We happened to run low on cash at the moment. Could you give us some? We've known each other for a long time, so help us out."

The leader of the group smirked and leaned towards Jenna, reaching out to touch her cheek.

"Long time no see, you look even more beautiful now."

Jenna slapped his hand and immediately recognized him as the creditor who had come to their house to collect debts before.

At that time, my father owed a huge gambling debt and the creditors came knocking on our door every day to collect. They banged on the door loudly, causing us to huddle together in the closet for safety - my mother, younger brother and I.

But now, with the five million, this debt should have been paid off.

"The money has been returned to you. What do you mean by this? Do you want me to report to the police?"

Jenna took out her phone with a cold expression and pretended to call the police.

His expression changed instantly, and he stopped harassing her, taking out an IOU from his bag and slapping it down in front of her.

"The previous debts have been paid off, but how about the debts incurred in the past two days? At the gambling table, your father said that his daughter married into a wealthy family and doesn't lack money."

Jenna suddenly had a bad feeling.

She took the IOU and glanced at the amount, getting so angry.

The more money you owe, the deeper the hole becomes. At this rate, it would take eight lifetimes to fill it up.

"Debts must be repaid, it's only natural. Since your father doesn't have the money, you'll have to repay it. You've found such a good in-law family, I'm sure you don't want this matter to escalate, do you?"

"If you don't repay the money, I'll expose this matter. By then, your in-laws will kick you out, and then I'll drag you to nightclubs. You look pretty, young, and can use that to make money."

Jenna immediately understood his meaning and looked around, hoping to find an opportunity to escape.

There were many people surrounding her, so she had to figure out a way to calm them down first.

"I will repay this money, but you can't drag my dad into gambling anymore. If it happens again, I won't take care of him."

"This won't work." The man directly refused, "It's your dad who wants to play with me, what does it have to do with us?"

Such a good money tree, unless they are crazy, how could they possibly give up?

"Don't talk to me about the future, just pay back the money now. Call your husband and have him send the money over!"

"You've only been married to me for two days, and you owe half a million dollars." Rhys shook off her hand and revealed his identity to the gang in front of him.

"I'm Rhys. My wife owes you money, right? I'm here to pay it back, but you just said you were crippling me. How are we going to settle this?"

The gang instantly quieted down.

The small gang members looked at each other for a few seconds in shock before running away. They wanted the money, but they weren't stupid enough to mess with the Williams family.

"You're quite impressive; owing so much in just two days. If it goes on like this for another year or so, will you have lost all the properties of the entire Williams family?" Rhys mocked Jenna as he spoke.

It turned out that she wasn't just good at making people angry; her ability to rack up debts was also unparalleled and awe-inspiring.

Jenna silently got up from the ground and shook her head. "Thank you for helping me today. This isn't my debt; it's my father's fault. They always force him into gambling and then come asking for repayment when he loses."

She had experienced countless situations like this since childhood.

"Why do you care about him? If those people can't get their money back, they won't be able to drag your father into gambling again," Rhys added some blame into his tone, "Isn't all of this happening because of your enabling them?"

Jenna fell silent.

She admitted that what Rhys said made sense, but those people would come knocking on her door, smashing things, or even trying to take away her little brother as collateral if they didn't get paid back immediately.

She had talked with her mother about moving houses multiple times already – every time after finding a new place though, her father would go gamble again and creditors would find their way there soon after.

"What are your plans regarding these debts?"

As they left the alleyway behind them, Rhys casually asked Jenna.
