Chapter 539 Borrowing Money


    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!


    "YoubastardlDidyou gamble atthe 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 into


    laughter. 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 and


    come 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.
