Chapter 169 Deceit


    J picked up the file from the floor and read the documents consisting of several pages of


    iprehensible,plicated text. She couldn''t understand the gist. However, the papers indeed


    contained Hannah''s signature and fingerprint.


    "What does it say?" Ethan asked as he walked in with a stick in his hand.


    He was wearing a thin ck shirt, and his tall frame almost blocked the entire doorframe. Ethan


    almost stood a foot taller than those men. The wind made his shirt stick to his body, revealing his


    chiseled muscles.


    J sighed and handed the document to Ethan. "I don''t understand it. There are so many terms


    and conditions."


    Ethan skimmed through the papers and found Hannah''s signature in the end. The document


    revealed Hannah owed three hundred thousand dors to these people.


    "Did you read the document clearly? I wasn''t lying. Give me the money! Hannah is very old. You


    don''t want us to injure her, do you?" The strong man arrogantly leaned against the kitchen top and


    nced at the stick in Ethan''s hand from time to time.


    "I really don''t have the money now. Can you give me some time? I will borrow money and repay the


    debts." J had no idea what happened and why Hannah owed so much money to these men.


    Therefore, she had no choice but to persuade the men to leave first.


    "I''ve heard enough excuses. Tell me the specific time. You can''t keep me waiting all the time." The


    strong man spat on the floor again and squinted at J. However, his gaze involuntarily flitted to


    Ethan, who was staring at him with a stick in his hand.


    The muscr man flinched back in fear. He wondered who Ethan was. The man had been in the


    underworld for many years, but he had never met such a powerful man before. He felt inferior


    around Ethan. Besides, looking at Ethan''s strong muscles made him wonder if he was a trained


    fighter.


    "How about one week?" J asked after a moment''s pause.


    Seeing that J hadpromised, the strong man scratched his head and stole a nce at


    Ethan. A shiver ran down his spine.


    The man coughed awkwardly and nodded. "Okay, I''ll give you a week''s time."


    He then waved at the men behind him. "Pack your things. Let''s leave!"


    "What? What''s the matter? You were determined to get the money today."


    "You didn''t behave like this before."


    The strong man stole a nce at Ethan again and cast a reproachful look at his men. "Shut up! It


    doesn''t seem like the right time. Didn''t you see the helper standing behind that woman?"


    After they left, J anxiously held Hannah''s hand. "What''s going on?"

    Hannah rubbed her temples and let out a weary sigh. "A few days ago, a group of people came to


    sell health care products. They seemed very enthusiastic. At first, I just thought I''d give them a try.


    But they coaxed me into buying their products. I said I didn''t have money, so the salesman asked


    me to sign a few papers saying that I could avail the products for free. I was confused and couldn''t


    understand what was going on. Several vigers had also signed the agreements, and they all


    seemed fine. And these people kept pressing me, so I signed. A couple of days ago, arge group


    of people barged into the house, saying that I owed them money. But I never borrowed money from


    anyone. When I asked them about it, I found out the salesman had deceived me into signing up for


    a loan. Now, I have to pay them three hundred thousand dors — including the interest. I still can''t


    figure out why I owe them so much money."
