Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 40 Debts

“My father’s debts are taken over by Opulence Financial. Where are you from?!”

When she was in the bank, Jean looked through the information that Ben had sent. Opulence Financial was a debt collection agency founded a few years back. The head of the company had a large influence. Those in the same field called him Draco.

The agency first started with illicit dealings. But they have turned over a new leaf for a while now. They no longer use violence in their work but functioned the same as any other collection agency.

These men must have other intentions for approaching her.

While they were distracted, Jean reached into her bag. She took out her pliers, the one she packed before the competition, and held it fiercely towards them.

“Don’t come near me!”

The ruffians smirked. “She’s a fierce one. We didn’t come for nothing today.”

“Man, I’ve heard that she served at Luminance Villa a while ago. Must have been pretty hot.”

“Edgar Royden’s lucky. A feisty ex-wife, and now he’s with Gigi Reece, the woman with that great body.” They leered at Jean every now and then.

Jean gripped her plier, trying to stop her hand from shaking.

Her heart was pounding out of her chest.

The yellow-haired leader raised his hand. “Come on, boys. Remember, treat her gently.”

“Stay away! Don’t come near me!”

Jean was on edge as she aimed for the weakest one in the center. She clenched her jaw and sprinted towards the man with her pliers in hand.

Although she was relatively weaker, she dashed as fast as she could. The man was caught off guard.

She hit him in the abdomen before he could dodge.

He doubled over with a shriek. Jean took the chance and ran with all her might.

She couldn’t turn back nor stop.
