Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 222

Gwendolyn received the money that was transferred into her account. She pursed her lips after hearing Lucy's voice message.

Luce is such a loyal friend. She transferred six hundred thousand.

Gwendolyn sighed. This amount of money was more than she could ask for. She would not let Lucy worry about her anymore.

Andrea glanced at Gwendolyn's phone and asked, “Has the money been transferred?”

Gwendolyn looked up at her and hesitated for a moment.

“My friend transferred six hundred thousand. Adding it with the five hundred thousand I have, it will amount to one million one hundred thousand. Can you let us go?”

Even loan sharks have sympathy, right? Giving them an additional six hundred thousand should be more than enough. It is already more than the principal amount.

Andrea waved a finger at her.

“Ms. Ashton, maybe you aren't sure about the rules of our business. Pay as much as you have? If you don't pay it all, there'll be interest tomorrow. I suggest that you pay it all by today.”

She raised her eyebrows and sneered, “Otherwise, I'll have to feed you and your daughter to the fishes in the river.”

Gwendolyn felt her heart ache at the thought of giving them so much money.

However, after hearing those words, there was nothing else she could do.

She had tried calling the police but was unable to. It was likely that the signal had been tampered with.

Andrea yawned. “I'm going to inform Samuel. I'm so tired but still have to deal with you. It's so annoying.”

With that, she opened the door and left.

Gwendolyn glanced at her sleeping daughter. With her here, Juliette's emotions were much more stable.

Now, she just needed to pay them the remaining six hundred thousand and negotiate a little. She believed that they would agree to let them go.

Her eyes darted around as she thought about how she should negotiate.

Not long later, Andrea entered the room with several men.

She was so sleepy that she kept yawning.

“Ms. Ashton, it's almost dawn. If you don't pay up, they'll send you and your daughter off.”

The burly men approached the bed, looking as though they were about to throw them into the car.

Gwendolyn stopped them. “Wait a minute. I can give you six hundred thousand now. Please let me and my daughter go.”

Andrea shook her head with a smile. “I already told you. Not a single cent less.”

With those words, she gestured to the men to take action.

Gwendolyn shouted, “Wait! I want to speak to Samuel alone.”

Andrea's face darkened. “Ms. Ashton, if you're thinking of seducing him, you better forget about it!”

Her eyes swept over Gwendolyn's body as a disdainful expression appeared on her face. Look at that puffy military jacket she is wearing. Her face is so ugly that any man would be disgusted by it. Samuel is mine and mine alone. No one else can have him.

Gwendolyn smiled lightly. “How can my looks compare to yours? I won't seduce Samuel. I simply want to speak to him alone.”

Andrea rolled her eyes. She really doesn't know when to give up.

She beckoned at the men to leave.

“I'll go and get Samuel.”

Gwendolyn heaved a sigh of relief after they left the room.

She shook Juliette awake. “Sweetheart, wake up.”

Juliette opened her eyes. She was very tired, and there were tears in her eyes.

“Gwen, are we going home?”

Gwendolyn looked at her daughter. At this moment, they could only rely on themselves.

She helped Juliette to sit up. “Juliette, hold on to my clothes later. Follow me closely. Understand?”

Juliette nodded vigorously at her serious look.

Her older brothers had taught her to stay calm in dangerous situations. There was no use crying.

Although she was afraid and kept crying after being brought to this place, she believed that her mother and brothers would rescue her.

A faint smile appeared on Gwendolyn's face when she saw that Juliette was not crying and was being cooperative. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Lie down first. When I call you, get up quickly and hold onto my clothes.”
