Chapter 319

Jacob also sensed something unusual. He turned to look at Xavier.

Xavier signaled Jacob to lead the way by nodding his head slightly.

Seeing those tall figures leaving, the old man sighed and said to himself, "What trouble has the family caused this time?"

Otherwise, why would the two men visit them?

People in the room made the small space even more crowded. Grover's head was pressed down on the table by two hoodlums. In front of him stood a tall man with a scar on his right eyebrow, which was long enough to reach the corner of his right eye. He spoke with the flesh on his big face trembling. "Give me the money, or I'll chop off his hands and ruin his face.”

Janet stood in the corner behind the door. She had seen things like this so many times over the years and had compromised every single time. She really didn't want to get involved this time.

She was too tired. There was nothing she could do about it.

"Do what you want. Maybe it's better if you cut off his hands since he obviously can't control them." "Janet, what are you talking about? He's your brother. How can you give up on him?" Ellen rushed to her and grabbed her collar. "You can save him! You can get the money, can't you? Go get it now!" Janet stared at her mother in despair, who was now asking her for money emotionally with a flushed face. "Mom, how much money have I paid back for Grover over the years..."

"He's your brother," Ellen repeated.

How many times had Janet heard this sentence again?

All these years, Ellen had always used this excuse to force her to pay the debt for Grover. You couldn't leave him alone because he was your brother. You had to listen to me because I was your mother who had given birth to you after a ten-month pregnancy. Janet had long been tired of hearing those words over and over.

"I don't have any money." Janet didn't want to argue with them anymore because the only child her mother cared about was her son, Grover.

Her daughter meant nothing to her.

"How can you have no money? Aren't you carrying Jasper's baby? Ask the Clintons to give the money!" Ellen held Janet's hand tightly. "Didn't you get a lot of money last time? You can do it again.”

Janet allowed Ellen to hold her. Her mother's nails were pinched into the back of her hand, but she couldn't feel the pain.

"Sister, you have to save me! I promise I won't gamble anymore! I won't dare to!" Grover begged Janet with his eyes.
