Chapter 111
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 111<\/p>\n
\u201cAntique? What antique?\u201d I withdraw my hands embarrassedly from Frances Louis’s neck, pretending to know nothing.<\/p>\n
But I feel very guilty in my heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cJane Noyes, don\u2019t challenge my patience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances Louis\u2019s eyes darken and he looks at me with a cold face.<\/p>\n
The air in the room is extremely tense.<\/p>\n
I know, if I kept hiding the truth, Frances Louis would definitely be mad.<\/p>\n
I clear my throat and look at him confidently, \u201cI bought an antique, so what? You forced me to receive your card to buy something I like. You can\u2019t be regret now because I spent too much money, right? In that case, I’ll give you back your card.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, I get up from Frances Louis and prepare to take the card out of my purse and return it to him.<\/p>\n
But he forces me down to sit back on his laps, his arms holding my waist tightly.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s breath sprays in my ear slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard that you broke my vase, so you went to the antique store trying to buy a new one, and then you broke another vase. Finally, you bought a similar one, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
I gasp and look at Frances Louis in\u00a0surprise, \u201cHow do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
Betty betrayed me? It can\u2019t be her. I didn’t tell her about breaking the vase in the antique store.<\/p>\n
Was I being watched by his subordinates?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a coincidence. That antique store you went just happens to be mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
It turns out that the so-called boss is just a store manager.<\/p>\n
Damn it! I really can\u2019t get out of the claw of Frances Louis!<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know it and still make me to pay the money! That\u2019s too much!\u201d<\/p>\n
I say angrily.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances Louis, you want to force me to die, don\u2019t you? You are not lack of money, why you haggle over every once with me? Besides, the original price of your vase must not be so much money. You wouldn\u2019t run an antique shop if that sells at a loss!\u201d I argue with Frances Louis in the hope that he suddenly show some mercy and spare me, a poor woman.<\/p>\n
Yet I seem to have underestimated the relentlessness of capitalism.<\/p>\n
Frances Louis smiles lightly and says to me, \u201call businessmen are profiteers. I won\u2019t do a losing business. Considering your hard work on bed, I won\u2019t charge you interest, are you not satisfied?\u201d<\/p>\n
I push the man away whom I am clinging to. I stand up and go back a little, glaring at him and saying, \u201cNo! I am not satisfied! Do you know what four million is? I won’t pay you off until I die!\u201d<\/p>\n
Just thinking about that huge amount of money makes me hopeless. I have dreamed of one day earning nine hundred thousand to leave Frances Louis. But the debt is like a bottomless pit, which can never be filled.<\/p>\n
Today I broke his vase and tomorrow I don’t know what I will break. Stay with him, there are a million ways to vanish my hope in escaping.<\/p>\n
What should I do?<\/p>\n
The man doesn\u2019t get mad. He stands up and approaches me step by step.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can pay me off. You can pay me ten thousand dollars every month, and you will pay twelve thousand a year. Then you can pay me off with only thirty- three years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-135","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
