Chapter 1101
Sophia Peterson refused to go with them. The two men standing in front of her were pure trouble.
The bulky man had a green dragon tattooed on his arm, and his predatory gaze swept over her with malicious intent.
“If you don’t explain yourselves, I’m not going anywhere,” she refused, taking a few steps back.
It was New Year’s Eve. If she was in danger, the police were her only hope, but by the time they arrived, it would be too late.
Sophia glared at the two men, her body tense.
The bulky man lost his patience. “If you want your son to live, you better come with me,” he threatened loudly. “He’s at a casino in Vegas and lost thirty million dollars. He can’t pay up, so he offered you to settle the debt. Our boss saw your picture and thought you still had some charm. Come to Vegas with us, earn back that thirty million, and we’ll let you go.”
“What?” Sophia gasped in disbelief, her eyes widening as a suffocating wave of despair washed over her. She couldn’t believe the son she had spoiled since childhood would do something so vile.
He lost and offered her to pay the debt.
Her son would never do that to her.
He hadn’t come home for the holidays, but she assumed he was just out having fun.
She understood he was upset about losing the company and needed to clear his head.
She never imagined he would go gambling.
And lose thirty million dollars.
She didn’t even have three million to her name right now, and the villa wasn’t worth much either.
The worst part was she had just found out his overseas branch was sabotaged by Wendy Don Scott.
It was freezing outside. The bulky man, shivering in his sleeveless shirt, glared at her with a somber gaze.
“Stop asking questions and come
with us Our boss said once you pay off the thirty million, you can take him back. Your son is waiting for you to save him FindNovel.net
“If you’re a second too late, his life is over.”
“Ah!” Sophia cried out in terror.
She stumbled backward, shaking her head. “No, I’m not going. Go find his father.
His biological father is rich. He’ll give you the thirty million.”
Mr. Wilson would definitely save him. That was his own flesh and blood.
Sophia finally understood why Mrs. Wilson hadn’t reported Mr. Wilson for attempted murder when she came back alive.
What they were going through right now was far worse than rotting in prison.
Wendy and Mrs. Wilson had set a trap to strip them of everything.
She had spent her whole life as a secret mistress. Aside from pleasing men and spending money, she knew nothing about business.
How could she possibly outsmart a woman like Wendy?
Wendy had deliberately made them think they won, only to push them off the highest cliff so the fall would shatter them completely.
Tears streamed down Sophia’s face. She felt utterly helpless and hopeless.
Was this her karma for stealing Wendy’s husband and living off unearned wealth all these years?
When people faced an insurmountable crisis, they always assumed it was retribution.
The bulky man scoffed. “We know
about Mr. Wilson. The guy can’t even afford a hot meal right now. He’s begging on his ex-wife’s doorstep. With this freezing weather, hel probably be front-page news tomorrow, and the world will have one less piece of trash.”
Sophia stared at him in disbelief. Wilson had gone back to beg hi ex-wife? This entire nightmare bad to boa setup orchestrated by Wendy and his ex-wife.
