Chapter 216
After Patricia received the money, she clicked through every text message sent by the bank and
checked the sum of money transferred. Finally, she noticed Darcie''s voice message. Patricia pursed
her lips slightly while listening to the message. Darcie is quite a good friend, isn''t she? I can''t believe
she transferred 600,000 to me.
Then, Patricia sighed. 600,000 is enough. I promise I will never make Darcie worry about me anymore.
After noticing Patricia''s phone constantly beeping with notifications, Lovetta, one of the kidnappers,
asked, "Has the money been credited into your ount?"
Patricia looked up at her in response. She hesitated for a while before replying, "My friend transferred
600,000 to me. With half a million in my hands, the total has reached 1.1 million. So, can you guys let
us go already?"
After she asked, she thought, Surely, they will release us now, right? After all, even as usury, they won''t
take things too far, right? They can even get 600,000 doing nothing! This amount alone has surpassed
the principal!
Lovetta lifted a finger and waved it in front of Patricia.
"Miss Aniston, you may not understand the rules of our business. Did you think we don''t charge interest
for the loan you made? The numbers will keep on adding up as long as it''s unsettled. So, hear my
advice: it''s best you pay it off tonight."
Then, Lovetta raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Otherwise, I have no choice but to drown you and
your daughter in the river."
Patricia felt her heart ache whenever she thought she needed to give them so much money. However,
there was nothing she could do after she listened to the threatening words that escaped Lovetta''s lips.
Patricia tried calling the police but was shocked that she couldn''t make a single call in this ce.
Therefore, she concluded that these people might have tampered with the reception.
Suddenly, Lovetta yawned. "I''ll go inform ke. Damn it. I''m so sleepy, yet I have to deal with your
affairs. How annoying!"
As soon as she said that, she opened the door and went out.
Patricia nced at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly. Sylvie''s mood is much more stable with
me around. Now, I only need to give them the remaining 600,000 and discuss it with them. I think they
will probably agree to let us go home. Patricia rolled her big eyes as she thought about how she should
negotiate with ke, the leader of the usury,ter.
After a while, Lovetta returned with a few men. She was extremely sleepy to the point that she kept
yawning.
"Miss Aniston, it''s almost dawn. If you don''t repay the money, these men will send you two off directly."
As Lovetta spoke, several brawny men made their way toward the bed. They looked like they were
going to grab Patricia and Sylvie and throw them into the car.
Panic crept in, and Patricia immediately called out, stopping them in their tracks. "Wait a minute. I can
give you the 600,000 I have with me, but please let me and my daughter go."
Lovetta shook her head and smiled, "Do you not hear us? You have to repay in full. Nothing less. Not
even a penny."
After she had finished speaking, she raised her jaw and beckoned those brawny men to take action.
Once again, Patricia said aloud, "Wait a minute! I want to talk to ke alone."
Lovetta''s facial expression changed. "Miss Aniston, I suggest you dismiss the intention of negotiating
with ke using a honey trap tactic."
While saying that, her eyes wandered over Patricia''s body. With a disdainful look on her face, she
thought, With that face and in that cumbersome military coat, any man would feel disgusted by her
appearance. Besides, ke is mine! Except for me, other women can forget the idea of being together
with ke!
Noticing Lovetta''s disdainful look, Patricia smiled faintly and said, "How can someone looking as
unattractive as me bepared with a beauty like you? So rest assured, I''m not going to use a honey
trap tactic. I just want to speak to ke alone, that''s all."
Lovetta rolled her eyes. This woman refuses to give up until she is confronted with a grim reality, right?
Hence, she hooked her fingers at the brawny men, asking them to go out.
"Okay, I''ll call ke for you."
After that, they walked out of the room. Seeing this, Patricia breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she shook Sylvie''s body and called out softly, "Sylvie, wake up."
Sylvie opened her eyes. Her sleepiness made her ufortable at this juncture, and she even had
tears in her eyes.
"Tricia, are we going home?"
Looking at her daughter, Patricia thought, We only have ourselves to rely on at a time like this.

Therefore, she helped Sylvie sit up. "Sylvie,ter, you clutch my clothes and follow me closely,
understand?"
Seeing Patricia looking so serious, Sylvie nodded hard.
Scott and Sten had taught Sylvie that the more dangerous a moment was, the calmer she should be.
Furthermore, her two brothers even told her that crying was useless in a dangerous situation. Although
Sylvie was scared and kept crying when she was kidnapped to this ce today, she believed that
Patricia and her brothers woulde to save her.
A trace of a smile slipped across Patricia''s face when she saw that Sylvie was no longer crying and
even cooperating with her.
"Lie down first. Later, when I call you, get up quickly and clutch my clothes."
