Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1298

Isla stared at her phone, taking a long time to process what had just happened. What the hell? How dare he yell and threaten her? How rude!

Had she called the wrong number?

Stumped for a couple of seconds, Isla entered the digits as she checked the name card and called Lexx again despite her irritation.

On the other side, Lexx had nowhere to vent his frustrations, having had one too many. But the more frustrated he was, the more trouble he got, landing him inevitably in a bad mood. Then his phone rang again before he could even put it away; he was PISSED. F*cking hell, f*cking scammer! What the hell was wrong with her? Should he really get some guys to teach her a lesson?

This time, he chose to end the call directly!

Isla gritted her teeth at that, mad. "Aren't you just some f*cking personal assistant? How dare you hang up on me? Sh*t!"

After cursing, she turned her phone for a couple of seconds before pausing. "This won't do. How am I going to eat if I don't have any money?"

With that, she took a deep breath and twitched her mouth, calling Lexx again.

Receiving 'the scammer's' call before he could even block the number, Lexx rolled his eyes in anger and pressed the answer button, gnashing his teeth.

"You-"

"Don't you dare hang up on me! I'm Isla Luther, Willy Bowles's sister-in-law! He said to look for you! I can only exchange the cheque tomorrow; come and verify if you don't believe me! He told me to look for you. I don't have any money left; give me a hundred thousand first! Deduct from next month's allowance; people are waiting for me to pay the bill!"

Her roar sobered Lexx up a little, visibly stumped for a few seconds before he tugged at his necktie.

These scammers were really getting better and better! They sure have done some thorough digging!

A Luther, the young lady of the Luther family, would be so short of money that she'd need his help? Who did she think she was fooling? She could've at least come up with a better lie than that!

A hundred thousand, ha, she sure knew to make demands.

Just as he was about to give her a good yell, he paused right when his words were in his mouth. It wouldn't do. If he yelled at her and hung up, who knew if she'd continue to harass him? How annoying!
