My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1496

Stephen knew that this was a trap set specifically for him, leading him step by step into it.

Simona was pure and innocent. After knowing her for so long, he considered himself very familiar with her. It was only because of his lies and deceit that she was hurt and broke up with him.

So, someone must be helping Simona to ruin him?

Although the women he had deceived before were all pretty well-to-do, they were nothing compared to Simona.

Suddenly, he thought of Simona's friends and the social circles she belonged to. Those were ones he had never truly entered or understood.

Then, it dawned on him—someone once mentioned that Simona's elder brother was no ordinary person, a highly capable individual.

He was among those who should never be provoked in Jipsburg.

Stephen instantly realized what had happened. It must be Simona's brother!

"Are you guys sent by Simona's brother? Is it him? It has to be him!"

Stephen connected the dots as he thought back to how his past deeds were recently dug up and exposed online, causing his downfall.

The money he had swindled from Rosa could have ensured a life of luxury, but he had been lured into gambling.

He had fallen into someone else's carefully laid trap step by step. He had never even met Simona's brother, yet he had already been outwitted!

Suddenly, he became acutely aware that the forces behind this were not something he could challenge. This was the kind of power that could destroy him without leaving a trace.

The debt collectors paid no attention to Stephen's ramblings. One of them slapped his face with the loan agreement bearing his signature.

"Can't pay your debts? I can make sure you rot in prison. Don't forget what you did while you were being beaten last night."

Stephen's eyes widened in terror.

"Simona? What does she have to do with this? Who's Simona? Trying to play dumb to avoid paying your debts, huh?" The debt collector sneered, looking down on Stephen.

No one would believe anything Stephen said anymore at this point.

Stephen was utterly desperate. "No, I'll pay! I'll pay the money! Just give me a few days, and I'll definitely pay you back!"

"A few days? By then, it won't just be five million," the debt collector scoffed.

Stephen nearly fainted in despair. "Today! I'll get the money today! I promise!"

"Fine. You have one day."

…

Rosa couldn't sleep a wink the whole night.
