    Severin was slightly surprised to hear that. “That doesn’t sound right. You’re working in a bar, and your


    sry probably isn’t very low. How is it that you still owe them a little under nine thousand when you’ve


    been paying them back for a year? Didn’t you only borrow about eight thousand dors?”


    “Well, those people are all a bunch of crooks. Their interest rate is very high to begin with, and they


    even tampered with the contract. I fell for their trap out of carelessness, and I can’t pay them back


    regardless of how hard I work now. That’s the reason the debt keeps umting.”


    Queenie smiled bitterly and continued, “By the way,st night, a rich guy wanted to take me out, saying


    that he’d give me fifteen thousand in exchange for spending the night with him. I hesitated for a long


    time, but I rejected him in the end. But that doesn’t change the fact of how scared I was of myself…I’m


    worried that I’d one day give in to the temptation of money.”


    Severin nodded. “I see. Alright then, it’s getting a bitte, so why don’t you take me to those people


    tomorrow morning? I’ll help you return the money tomorrow.”

    Although those people were despicable, Severin did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, and


    he was fine with helping her return the money. After all, it was only nine thousand dors, and it was


    not a lot for him.


    “I’m sorry!” Queenie looked at Severin and could not help but smile. “You saved me, but I pped you


    instead. The main reason is because I thought your family was hiding from us and had escaped


    somewhere in secret. After all, I couldn’t get through to Aunt Judith and Uncle Maurice, so I thought


    you guys were nning not to return the money to us.”


    “It’s alright. I’m the one who should say sorry. Your family has been helping mine in the was in prison,


    and we won’t just run off now that I’ve returned.” Severinforted her with a smile. He finally


    understood what his cousin was feeling.

    “Are you alright, Severin?” Someone appeared from behind, and it turned out to be Maurice.


    Severin turned around and could not help but ask, “Why are you here, Dad?”


    Maurice stood close by and said, “We saw those men running out not long after you went in, and we


    waited in the car for you toe out but you were still nowhere to be seen. Your mom and your wife


    were all worried that something might have happened to you, so they told me to check if you were


    alright.”


    Severin smiled. “Rx, Dad. I’m fine. Look what the cat dragged out of the bag.”


    Because the lights there were very dim, Maurice had to go a little closer to get a better look at who that


    girl was. When he finally got a good view of her, he eximed in surprise, “Wait! The girl that was taken


    in earlier was Queenie?”


    Queenie felt extremely embarrassed. She has always been a good girl in everyone’s eyes and was


    never the kind to wear heavy makeup, colored contact lenses, a miniskirt, and sexy ckce


    stockings.


    “Hello, Uncle Maurice!” Queenie smiled awkwardly. “It was thanks to Severin that I wouldn’t be in


    trouble tonight.”


    Maurice also felt embarrassed to ask too much and merely reminded her, “You need to be careful when


    you go out alone at night, Queenie. It’s not safe, especially in these clothes. Besides, it’s pretty dark


    too.”


    Queenie lowered her head in embarrassment.


    Severin immediately smoothed things over and said, “You’re being too old-fashioned, Dad. Girls all


    dress like this nowadays as long as they look good. This is the trend!”


    Maurice smiled awkwardly. “You’re right, I’m an old man now. But anyway, we should get out of here


    soon, or else your mother mighte here anytime to try and look for us…”
