Chapter 199 17 thousand dors for One Night
Approaching footsteps sounded inside the door. Darnell walked over. When he heard that Gustave had
gone out, he was worried, so he came over to take a
look.
Darnell drank a little less than Gustave. After Darlene left, Darnell went back to the bedroom andy
down for a while. He was almost sober.
When he arrived at the door, Darnell looked at Gustave, who had blocked Darlene by the door.
Immediately, it was as if Darnell saw nothing, his gaze naturally drifted away from them. Then, Darnell
looked at the sky, turned around, and walked straight inside.
Darlene called out to him anxiously, “Darnell,e over and help me. He
drank too much.”
Darnell stood inside and hesitated. He thought about Darlene’s current physical condition. If Gustave
really drank too much and did something to her, it would be inappropriate.
Darnell didn’t know whether Gustave had really drunk too much or was just pretending to be drunk.
In the end, Darnell turned around and walked out. He looked at Darlene and smiled awkwardly, “Ms.
Garcia, you’re back. Mr. Walpole, you’re here too. I’ve been looking around for him for a long time.”
Darlene waited for him to finish lying and then said anxiously, “Pull him away first and help him to the
bedroom. I’ll go buy him some hangover medicine.”
Darnell didn’t think about it and immediately replied, “No need, Ms. Garcia. It’s not safe for you to go out
in the middle of the night. There’s hangover medicine in the bedroom. I’ll just get it for Mr. Walpole.”
Darlene was stunned for a moment. “Really?”
“Yes.” Darnell’s expression was extremely confident.
As if to prove that he did not lie, Darnell said, “I just took it. Otherwise, I would not have sobered up so
quickly.”
Darlene really wanted to ask him, “Then why didn’t you let Gustave take it?”
Thinking that it was toote to say so, she did not speak again.
Darnell helped Gustave to the bedroom, brought him hangover medicine, and then went to the kitchen to
make him a ss of honey water.
Darlene stood at the side and watched. There was nothing she could do here. When Darnell was done
with all the work, Gustave fell asleep, and she returned to her bedroom to sleep.
As soon as Darlene left, Gustave, who had been drunk and asleep a moment ago, immediately sat up
from the bed and looked at Darnell with gloomy eyes.

Darnell had a feeling that he might lose his year–end bonus in the next ten years, so he defended
himself with a guilty conscience.
“Mr. Walpole, I really didn’t know that you had asked Ms. Garcia to buy the hangover medicine. I casually
said that we had it at home. Don’t worry. The hangover medicine and honey water will definitely not harm
you.”
Thinking about how Gustave had blocked Darlene at the door, Darnell couldn’t help saying, “But Mr.
Walpole, don’t me me for being nosy.
“No matter how difficult it is for you to control your feelings for Ms. Garcia, it
is better to wait until Ms. Garcia has a sessful heart transnt before you
express them. At this time, you should be more careful.”
Gustave thought that Darnell had just personally fed him the hangover medicine and a ss of honey
water. No matter how he looked at Darnell, Gustave felt awkward. Originally, he wanted to punish
Darnell, but now, Gustave waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright. Go out. I have a headache.”
Darnell felt relieved and immediately wanted to leave. Gustave’s phone on the bedside table rang.
It was already midnight. It should not be the time to make a call.
Darnell guessed that Cassius might be calling to cause trouble. When he
walked to the door, Darnell could not help listening.
Gustave picked up the phone and was a little displeased when he saw that the caller ID on the phone
was Josefina.
Meanwhile, the usually calm and steady Josefina’s voice was now filled with fear. Her voice was so
shaky that it was hard to hear clearly.
“Mr. Walpole, I really have no other choice. No one can help me. Please give Braylen a call and ask him
to spare me. Braylen and you are good friends. He will definitely agree.”
Gustave had an impatient expression. “Ms. Hogan, I’ve reminded you once. You are my employee, but
it’s your private affair and has nothing to do with me. In the future, don’t call me because of this kind of
thing.”
know. I don’t have any other rtionship with you, Mr. Walpole.” Josefina probably noticed that he was
about to hang up, and her voice suddenly became
urgent.
“Just… just take it as a favor to Ms. Garcia. She and I are from the same
university. We can be considered friends.”
Gustave interrupted her, “Ms. Hogan, I will say it onest time. I will not
interfere in your private affairs with Braylen. It’s none of my business.
“Darlene is not familiar with you. You have not been in contact for years. Even though you are in a bad
situation, don’t try to use her.”
Gustave’s voice turned cold. “After all, there are some things that you can only me yourself for. Others
can’t help you.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and fell asleep. This matter was thrown to the back of
his mind.
Josefina stared at the phone and put it aside with a pale face.
In the dark room, she clenched her fists and walked to the man sitting in front of the floor–to–ceiling
window nervously.
Josefina squatted down and grabbed his trousers. “Braylen, don’t be like this. Dayton is in danger. The
doctor said that he wouldn’t give Dayton surgery
without money.
“The 17 thousand dors was all spent. I have already borrowed money from all the people who are
willing to help me. Just lend me another 17 thousand dors. I will definitely repay you all the money in
the future, okay?”
Braylen put his arms on his legs, leaned forward, and looked at Josefina’s face in front of him in the dim
light.
Even though it was so dark, it was not difficult to see that her face was as beautiful and attractive as
before.
No wonder a few years ago, Braylen was willing to break with his family for Josefina, give up his career
and future, and apany her in a rented house that was less than 120 square yards.
Braylen, who had never cooked before, was worried that she would not be able to endure the poor life.
For her, early in the morning, he went to the market to buy ingredients and learned how to cook.
He ttered a group of vulgar, fat, middle–aged men and drank with them
until his stomach bled just for a contract worth 17 thousand dors.
In order to marry Josefina and let her live a better life, Braylen risked his life to get 17 thousand dors.
She had probably forgotten it long ago.

Braylen smiled coldly and sarcastically, “Josefina, I always thought that had taken hundreds of millions of
dors from my father before running away. I guessed you had gotten several billion dors at least, but
you only
took 85 thousand dors.
“85 thousand dors,” Braylen repeated these words and felt it was really funny. Hisughter became
louder.
“Josefina, you really think ‘highly‘ of me and my family. 85 thousand dors made you betray me and run
away with another man overnight.”
Braylen raised his finger to lift Josefina’s chin and looked at her carefully. “You are borrowing 17
thousand dors from me now to save that man.
“Josefina, you are wrong. Last time, I spent 17 thousand dors buying you for a night, but you slept with
others. I feel disgusted thinking about it now. Even the women who tried to seduce me at Twilight
Paradise are all virgins.
“Now you want me to spend another 17 thousand dors buying you again. I am more willing to use this
money to find someone to kill Dayton.”
