"Yes. I must be insane. Without getting my money back, I'm on a one-way path to ruin. Might as well take us both down. You

David glared murderously at Susie, "If it weren't for my parents taking you in and adopting you, you would've been dead long ago. I text you to borrow money and you don't even reply. What am I to you? You're now married into the Brady family, so why won't you help me? Tell me

Susie trembled with anger, about to speak, when a cold voice interrupted, "Look here, Aunt Susie, can you stop dragging your family drama onto me? I just came here to have a meal and then was a fellow here, desperate to borrow money. What was Uncle Samuel thinking when he married you?"

Turning towards the voice, Susie beheld a handsome young man dressed casually, who bore a striking resemblance to Trevon, causing Susie a moment of surprise, "Herbert? You're a jerk. You've completely humiliated me."

Herbert, the youngest son of the Brady family, had returned not long ago from overseas study. During one of his visits to Samuel to get money from Susic, David caught sight of Herbert and saw an opportunity for money

The Brady family had always looked down on Susie because of her modest background, believing she wasn't worthy of their family. But as Samuel and Susie were truly in love and inseparable, the family tolerated their union. Walking nervously in the Brady family. Susie found that David was constantly causing trouble.

"What's your face even worth? My life is more valuable. Give me the money now."

David demanded, lunging for Susie's bag, only for Selina to react swiftly, smashing a water glass onto his head.

"Oh David screamed, blood flowing from a gash on his head.

"Damn!" Before David could finish his curse, he was violently kicked to the ground. Selina pressed her foot onto his chest with no mercy, seemingly squeezing his internal organs out.

This action shocked everyone. Susie covered her mouth, about to speak, when Nora pulled her away. "Mom, don't worry. Selina knows what she's doing. Uncle David needs a harsh lesson. After all the trouble you've cleaned up for him over the years, he's only gotten worse. It's time he got what he deserves,

Herbert squinted in silence, observing Selina's movements. While Barry spoke out, "Nice moves, but don't kill him. He owes me a fair amount of money. If he dies and you get locked up, who will pay it back?"

David tried to protest, but under Selina's forceful step, he twisted in pain, unable to speak. Selina looked at Barry, almost smiling. "I want to know if we don't pay his debts today, what are you planning on doing?"

Barry took a drag on his cigarette and said, "Just as the agreement says, I want one of his hands, plus an extension of ten days.

"Cool, I'll settle his debt," Selina said nonchalantly, "But chop off that hand first. Otherwise, this guy will never learn. Deal or no deal?

"Of course. I just want to recover the money he owes me, plus interest. Anything else, I'm indifferent about." Barry said.

"No. I don't agree. Terrified at the prospect of amputation, David cried out, "Susie, Save me. Please. I won't do it again, I

swear

Hearing David's desperate plea, Susie's heart softened after all, this was her brother she had watched grow up, and the only son of the couple who had raised her.

"Selina." Before Susie could continue, Selina cut her off coldly. "Susie, let me handle this. If you want what's best for this family, please stay out of it."

Chapter III

Nora spoke up. "Selina, I support you. Uncle David needs to face the consequences."

"You little brat." David was just about to cuss at Nora when Seling stepped on him, choking his words back, and casually took out a black card, "How much? I'll transfer the money right now. Also, spread the word out that if anyone lends David money and he can't pay it up, chop off another one of his hands and come to me for the cash-principal plus double the interest. Once both hands are gone, start with the feet. As long as you don't kill him, it's all good."

Barry flicked cigarette ash and chuckled, "Oh? Our interest rates here aren't low, you

"Don't worry, I can afford it, Selina reassured.

know."

Barry couldn't help but be amused by Selina's demeanor, "Alright, you're an interesting one. Don't worry, I'll spread the word"

After saying that. Barry glanced at David under Selina's foot, squatted down, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and blew the smoke in David's face, causing him to cough uncontrollably, "You should count yourself lucky. Someone's paying off your debts." debts. With your gambling addict hands, you're darn lucky to have them worth enough to settle your

Seeing that Susie, pulled aside by Nora, didn't speak up, David was almost scared witless, "Don't do this. I won't gamble anymore, I really won't. Please give me another chance. Susic, I know I was wrong."

"Selina, it's okay. Since David has promised to change, let's give him one more chance."

Susie also felt that Selina was just scaring David, and having achieved the goal, so she couldn't help but sigh in relief internally.

In truth, Susie had used this method many times before. There was a time when David was truly terrified by Samuel and

managed not to gamble for as long as half a month, only to revert to his old ways eventually.

Susie understood that David was beyond saving deep down. It didn't matter how much disgrace or trouble he caused - she couldn't let David die.

Susie might as well have owed David a life debt in their previous existence, only to repay it in this one.

But to everyone's surprise, Selina spoke up firmly, "No need. We must chop off one of his hands."

"What? Are you out of your mind? Susie just said to give me another chance. I really will turn a new leaf this time." David said

There are two kinds of people in this world whose word you can never trust-addicts and gamblers. Since I'm the one footing the bill, please take care of this guy." Selina said.

Seeing the earnestness in Selina's gaze, Barry's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, "Got it."

With those words, Barry dragged the screaming and howling David away, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd.

Susic collapsed to the ground suddenly.

Nora swallowed hard, looking worried, "Selina, you're not seriously considering taking Uncle David's hand, are you?"

"Of course, I am. Gamblers who think they've got something to fall back on will never learn their lesson unless you take something from them. It's lucky for him he has such a strong survival instinct-a hand in exchange for a peaceful life going forward isn't a bad deal.
