Chapter 539


    Eva was so shocked that she felt as if a bolt of lightning had flown out of the heavens and hit her


    squarely in the chest.


    One million? They couldn’t afford so much money!


    “You bastard! Did you gamble at the casino again?” Glenn had also heard these words. He came out of


    the room with a pipe in his hand. His face turned scarlet with fury. Hended two hard blows to Jeff’s


    head and said, “You bastard! How could I raise such a failure like you?”


    Eva rushed to Jeff to protect him. “Why hit him so hard? We only have one son!”


    Glenn clenched the pipe in his hand and said, “Well, now that he hasnded himself in such serious


    debt, what are we going to do?”


    Eva wiped her tears away andined, “You like drinking and gambling yourself. You are no better


    than him!”


    “The point is that we don’t have so much money now. You two might as well take my life to pay them!”


    Glenn was exasperated and his face darkened.


    One million was indeed a huge sum of money for them.


    Holding Eva desperately, Jeff said, “Mom, we can go to L! She definitely has the money!”


    *******


    L was busy ying games quitete that night, when she received a call from the hotel receptionist


    informing her that her parents and her brother were making a scene in the hotel lobby.


    Initially, L didn’t even want to give them any thought or consideration, but in the end, she decided to


    go downstairs. She didn’t want to be embarrassed by them.


    As soon as Eva saw L, she fell to her knees before her with Jeff.


    “L, your brother gambled away a huge sum of money and now he owes the creditor one million. Can


    you give us some money to pay them? We will pay you back when your father’s shop starts to make a


    profit!” Eva pleaded, cutting to the chase.


    L’s first reaction was to turn around and run away from this mortifying situation.


    It was so humiliating. She wanted to dig a hole to bury herself in it.


    She had no desire to give them even one penny. The money she received from the White family was


    for her to live her life.


    L had never cared about this so-call brother of hers after all. His life or death had nothing to do with


    her.


    “L, please! Jeff is your brother!” Glenn sighed and almost knelt down to beg her as well.


    Fortunately, it was veryte at night and there were very few guests in the reception area. L nced


    around and found that all the hotel staff were staring at her expectantly, waiting to see what she would


    say.


    L was so frustrated that she had no choice but to agree. “I will only help you this one time. And you


    have to pay me my money back!”


    The White family had given her a total amount of three million dors. After these days she had spent


    at the hotel, she had roughly two million dors left. If she gave Jeff one million to pay the debts, she


    would still have one million for herself.


    After weighing the pros and cons, L wrote a check and handed it to Jeff. She hoped the money could


    drive them away forever and she could be free of them.


    Now that he had the money in his hand, Jeff stopped crying immediately and even burst intoughter.


    Atst, he left happily with his parents.


    *******


    L had thought it was over.


    But a few dayster, Jeff came to her again with Eva.


    “Interest has rued, the debt collector said we need to pay him more money than just the principal


    sum of one million.” Jeff knelt down in front of L pitifully.


    He didn’t seem to find begging on his knees humiliating or degrading in the least bit.


    In fact, he didn’t owe any debts at all. He had taken one million and spent it on sleeping with hookers


    and on purchasing himself a few luxury items. In a matter of just a few days, he had spent all the


    money L had given him.


    He knew that L still had money, so he had even hired some friends to y debt collectors ande


    and threaten them at home.


    As a result, Glenn and Eva were so scared that they didn’t dare to go out at all. Under the persuasion


    of Jeff, they came to borrow money from L again.


    “No way! You haven’t paid me back the one million you have borrowed yet!” L was so livid that she


    wanted to curse.


    She felt that she was really unlucky. Why did she have such a brother and parents? They were like a


    gum stuck on the bottom of her shoe that she couldn’t get rid of at all.


    Eva loved her son so much that she would even die for him. “Are you going to lend us money or not?


    L, if they kill Jeff, I won’t be able to go on living. How pathetic is my state! My daughter doesn’t care


    about me or her brother at all!”


    As she rushed to the pir of the hotel, Eva shouted, “I might as well die!”


    L was startled by her. She had never met someone like Eva before, so she had topromise.


    “Fine! I will give you the money! Stop making a scene here!”


    She gritted her teeth and wrote him a check for another million.

    Now she didn’t have much money left. Plus, she had been staying in the presidential suite of the hotel


    for the entire month. The cost was very high, so she couldn’t stay here anymore.


    She had to go back to the Gillian family’s shabby apartment.


    It was a good news for Jeff, because he didn’t have to go to the hotel to ask L for money anymore.


    “You need more money? I have given you two million dors! Isn’t it enough to pay off your debts?” L


    was impatient. She really had no money left now.


    “How would I know? The creditor said I owe him three million dors in total. L, write me another


    check. I need to pay him as soon as possible!” Jeff said.
