Chapter 164
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 164<\/p>\n
Who is knocking at this hour?<\/p>\n
If I\u2019m a man, I might think that this is a special service. But I\u2019m a woman and this should not apply to me.<\/p>\n
Can it be a burglar?<\/p>\n
After all, the security at a motel isn\u2019t as good as a hotel.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps it\u2019s a psychotic murderer?<\/p>\n
Or a rapist?<\/p>\n
The knocking doesn\u2019t stop. I get up to put on my clothes. As I walk from the bed to the door, my mind already plays back the scenes of horror movies.<\/p>\n
My limbs are starting to tremble with fear.<\/p>\n
I walk carefully to the door and open the door slightly. As I look out, I see Frances\u2019 dark and frightening face.<\/p>\n
How is he able to find me?<\/p>\n
I shut the door in a hurry and lean against the door.<\/p>\n
My heartbeat starts to race.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it! Frances found me. From the looks of his face, I\u2019m sure something bad is going to happen!<\/p>\n
\u201cOpen up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances\u2019 deep and furious voice thunders from outside the door, causing me to tremble in fear.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ll be a fool to open the door at this moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d I insist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t mind if you want more onlookers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances is threatening me.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to cause a scene and can only open the door in defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got this cheque from my mom, right?\u201d Frances hit the nail on its head.<\/p>\n
There is no point for me to deny since he is already so certain. What\u2019s done is already done.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. This money was given to me by your mother to leave you. I accepted it because I needed the money.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances grasps my neck and he says furiously, \u201cJane, are you so cheap to be bought with this money? Am I only worth five million yuan to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
His look of contempt is like countless needles pierce into my body.<\/p>\n
Regardless of how hurt I am I maintain a smile from beginning to the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Louis is a wealthy man. You are unfamiliar with my world. Five million yuan to you is a small amount but to me, it is a huge sum. Furthermore, I don\u2019t think you are worth five million yuan. Instead, my freedom is worth this amount.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFreedom? I won\u2019t give you the freedom that you want!\u201d<\/p>\n
Frances tears up the cheque forcefully after he finishes saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-188","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/188","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=188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
