No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 653

Immediately, she whipped out her phone and provided me with a bank account number. Without a second's hesitation, I wired $60,000. "I'll need a promissory note for that," I demanded, extending my hand.

They handed over the note, one of them quipping, "Didn't expect a rich lady like you to bail her out."

"I'm not just rich; I've got connections. Mess with her again, and you'll find yourselves too dead to spend that money," I warned them.

Sometimes, you've got to show your teeth. My words had the desired effect; their laughter died down. But as they were leaving, they couldn't resist a parting shot at Deborah, "With a sister like her, why would you need a payday loan?" "Get lost!" I snapped.

They left, but Deborah was far from relieved. In fact, she was shaking all over.

"It's okay, they're gone," I said, pulling her into a hug.

That's when she broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.

I didn't try to stop her tears, understanding she had a lot bottled up inside.
