Forbidden Passion

Chapter 335 I Got You

People often said that humans are inherently greedy, and Donovan must just be a case in point. He was once very close to success, but his desire made him want more. That was just the gambler's mindset.

In the end, Donovan lost everything. In half a month, he owed four million dollars, with loan sharks constantly chasing him for repayment. In the depths of despair, he embezzled company funds. On the day Donovan embezzled funds to repay the loan sharks, Darlene found him again. After she apologized profusely, they got drunk at a hotel, ending up in bed together. When he woke up the next day, he found all the money was gone. Darlene had taken it all.

Hounded by loan sharks and unable to return to his company, he called Phoebe, but she didn't answer, so he had to call his mother.

But Evelyn had little money. Although she sold her apartment, she couldn't raise ten million dollars to pay off his debt.

He had to hide first and then find Darlene to get the money back.

However, Darlene seemed to have never existed. Her previous address, her name, and even her sick mother were fake.

He regretted it deeply. The days of constant hiding and evasion filled him with a deep hatred forDarlene. He was utterly dismal, only wanting to find Darlene and die with her. Without that faith, Donovan might have died in some obscure corner long ago.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps ahead. Donovan pricked up his ears to listen. After hiding in the slums for over a week, he had learned to identify people by their footsteps. The approaching footsteps were orderly and definitely not those of homeless people or ordinary slum dwellers.

He saw a trash can nearby and quickly hid behind it as the footsteps got closer.

Through his matted hair, he watched the group.

The group of men wore black suits. They were all strong and fierce-looking, clearly bodyguards hired by the casino.

He quickly buried his head in his arms. The group approached, cursing in a foreign language, probably at having to search the slums for him in the middle of the night. He didn't listen closely. Suddenly, he was kicked hard, almost crying out in pain.
