The Ruined Bride of Velvet Nights by Brick Moving Ant

Chapter 96

  • Chapter 5

  • That night, a group of thugs showed up at my door.

  • They were Underground lenders.

  • “David’s dead, but the debt’s not.”

  • “You’re paying up,” their leader, a man with a scar on his face, threatened.

  • “First, I’ve renounced all claims to David’s estate.”

  • “My mother–in–law inherited everything, including the debts.”

  • “Second, David borrowed the money, not me. And third, all that money went to his mistress. I didn’t see a penny of it. Why should I pay?”

  • I handed them a stack of financial records.

  • The thug looked through them but still refused to back down.

  • “You’re David’s wife. You’re responsible for his debts.”

  • “If you don’t pay, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

  • “Go ahead. Do your worst,”

  • Said, my voice steady.

  • Just then, a tall, middle–aged man walked in.

  • Three days earlier, through my lawyer, I’d met Captain Johnson from the anti–crime task force.

  • I’d called him before opening the door.

  • The thug froze as soon as he saw Captain Johnson, terror flickering across his face.

  • “Scarface, you’ve got some nerve threatening my friend. Want to go back to jail?”

  • Captain Johnson said, slapping the thug’s head.
