“I do anything to get what I want,” he squinted and added provocatively, “and the same goes for women.”
Clenching her fists, she bit her lower lip hard as she struggled to come to a decision. Finally, a reply was heard lamely, “… What do you want me to do?”
“Come over here.”
He commanded her softly, yet it weighed on her heavily.
She drew a sharp breath and took the first step toward him. Her every move was like a step into the abyss.
Each step was slow and heavy.
“Come over here.” He frowned in irritation.
Her every action seemed heavy as she looked at the man’s handsome profile. Before she could react, he caught her wrist with a raise of his arm and pulled her to him.
Ahh…
Her vision spun for a second as she fell into his embrace.
He used his palm to hold her in place. She was now straddling him in an embarrassing position.
Her face burned hot. She tried to resist but was stopped by a painful pinch on her waist.
She glared at him. “Shameless!”
“Miss Yun, who is the real shameless one here?” he smilingly asked her back, “Who stole my son and tried to cover the truth but got discovered? You owe me a billion, so I am technically your creditor.”
Pausing for a bit, he eventually continued with a look of mocking intolerance to her ignorance, “You owe me money; is this the attitude you should show your creditor?”
“I’ll pay that one billion. I’ll work and definitely pay you back!” she solemnly declared, not at all cowed by his threatening words.
“Let’s count the interest for this penalty in the past six years, then.” He shrugged uncaringly as a lazy smile formed on his lips.
She stared at him in disbelief, protesting, “You mean there’s still interest?”
He arched a brow and looked at her deeply. “It’s all in the contract. Haven’t you read it carefully?”
She could feel her face burning hot from his look. “I…” she started to say but failed to find the right words to continue.
Many clauses were indeed in the contract, which she knew she should have read. However, back then, she was too eager to receive the money that would help tide her father over the financial crisis and did not foresee the subsequent events, so she did not pay close attention to that part in the contract about the breach of it.
“How much… is the interest?” Her voice started to shake again. In fact, she was rather reluctant to hear his answer, fearing that the sum would be astronomical.
He looked slightly displeased now. “Why are you so adamant to make things clear with me?”
“I don’t like to owe others. What I owe you, I’ll return to you fully.”
“Oh…” his voice trailed off. Following a long silence, his lips curled into a faint smile.
His eerie smile made her shudder and caused her breathing to turn ragged.
This man can be so evil.
Just like a king, his every look and smile commanded others’ submission.
She subconsciously straightened her spine, so she would not lose to his presence.
He suddenly lifted his eyes, closed in on her face, and muttered in her ear, “What if you get banned from showbiz; what will happen, then?”
