Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 161

On the third day of their getaway to the old town, Joshua got a call from his right-hand man, Thomas, letting him know they had finally tracked down Sue. On the other hand, Allison was tuckered out from all the sightseeing and was itching to head back to Oak Lake for a couple of days of well-deserved downtime. So, they packed up and hit the road back home.

Sue had pulled a fast one by faking a pregnancy and was whisked away from jail by Lillian's people. She ended up being smuggled to another country. Lillian had promised her the world—a cozy place to stay and a decent job—but those promises turned out to be nothing but hot air. Instead, poor Sue found herself sold into a fraud ring, living a miserable life that was worse than any stray dog's.

Joshua's crew managed to find her. The boss of the whole operation was also from their homeland, and knew all too well about the clout the Fisher family carried. He wasn't about to cross them, so he handed Sue over without a fuss.

Sue was tied to a rickety old chair in a dimly lit basement. Her hair was a mess, her skin was bruised, and she looked absolutely defeated. Those bruises weren't from Joshua's people—they were from the beatings she got while she was stuck in that compound.

Joshua walked in, dressed in black from head to toe, radiating a chill that matched his sharp. His handsome features was shrouded in shadow. He plonked himself down on a sofa about ten feet away from Sue, his eyes steely and unforgiving. "Spill it. Who put you up to this?"
