chapter 51

Janet and Lucy were roughly thrown on the ground in Shadow Eagle's dark basement. Their hands and wrists were tied.Lucy frantically looked at them."Who are you, people? Why have you kidnapped us here?""Shut up. You will soon know. Until then, keep quiet or I will cut off your tongue."Lucy jolted and shut her mouth.They left them alone and locked the door.Lucy looked at Janet, who looked as white as a ghost."They will kill me. They will kill me now…It's all over..." he mumbled to himself.Lucy said, "Hey! What are you mumbling to yourself? Do you know what is happening here? Why did they kidnap us?"He was sweating hard and panting breathlessly.He didn't respond to her at all.Ughhh, useless!Lucy bit her lip. Her heart raced in panic, but she had no choice but to wait.It is definitely a misunderstanding.I don't have anything to do with these people. They have to let me go once I clear everything!---A while later, the door opened and  Vicky Lawrence stepped in. Lucy got afraid a little, seeing the huge scar on his eye. She gulped.Vicky sat on his Boss's seat and stared at them. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed Lucy."Why this extra person?"The subordinate bowed. "We saw her with Janet Jackson and figured she knew him. So we brought her too.""Hm," he nodded."What?" Lucy was stunned. "I don't know this man! I would never have anything to do with such a heartless and disgusting man!"Janet's mouth twitched."Silence. You will not speak until I tell you to."He glanced at Janet and sneered. "Long time no see Janet Jackson. I heard you were leaving the country, but it seems you forgot that there is this debt to us you haven't paid back until now. You were trying to run away huh? But I cannot let you leave until you settle all the money I loaned you."Janet stiffened and paled.Lucy immediately understood the context.Loan sharking?Vicky asked, "How much is the money accumulated by now?"The subordinate immediately responded. "Boss, with interest, it sums up to seventy-two million dollar."Lucy widened her eyes.So much money..."And how much has he returned until now?""Nothing, Boss.""Ahh...well this makes things ugly for you Janet Jackson," he sinisterly smiled. "I already gave you an extra month but seems like it has gone to waste."Janet sweated hard. He glanced at Lucy and suddenly an idea struck him."Boss, please have mercy on me! I am not at fault. This wretched woman took away everything!"Lucy jerked her head towards him in shock.What the hell?"She was my mistress and she cleverly fooled me into giving all the money to her. She took your money and spent it all on herself!"
