Chapter 89 You’re One Step Late
It was a call from Sean.
After two seconds of hesitation, Suzy picked up the call.
“Suzy, where are you? You’re finally willing to answer my call.”
“What’s the matter?”
On the other end of the phone came Sean’s casual teasing voice. “I’m on my way to your apartment. It’s not safe for you to be alone now. I’ll protect you.”
“No, thank you.”
Suzy hung up. A car stopped in front of her when she was about to reach the neighborhood gates.
Four to five men walked out of the vehicle, dressed like Sherman.
Suzy’s eyes darkened slightly. They got out of the car and blocked her way. With a cigarette in his mouth, the leader said, “You are Sherman’s sister, Suzy, right?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Suzy was speechless.
“I’m not.”
“Who are you trying to deceive? It’s not like I haven’t seen you on TV before.” The man threw the cigarette butt to the ground and waved his hand. “Take her away.”
Suzy did not struggle and left obediently with the other party. She knew very well in her heart that they were a group of people and that she was the one injured after struggling.
After getting in the car, Suzy took out her phone, but it was snatched away by the other party.
The red-haired man stared at Suzy disdainfully. “Do you want to ask for help? Do you think we are dead?”
Suzy was speechless.
The car drove to an underground casino. Suzy was taken to the office on the second floor. In front of the office chair, a fat man had his back on Suzy.
“Baker, this is Sherman’s younger sister, Suzy.”
The other party turned around. Baker’s greasy face disgusted Suzy.
“You’re Suzy, right? Sherman owes us over 30 million. He has no money. Since you’re his younger sister, I’m sure you’ll have to pay him back.”
Suzy sat on the sofa and pursed her lips. She sized Baker up and casually said, “Okay, give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer it to you when I get back.”
Baker stood up and burst into laughter. “You agree so quickly, but do you think I’m stupid? Will you transfer it to me when you go back?”
“I don’t have that much money in my private account. I can’t transfer it with the company account until I get back.”
Suzy was telling the truth. Her personal account did not have that much money.
“You can’t do it until you go back. How do I know if you will do it or not after you go back?” Baker looked at her face and stared at her with lustful eyes. “How about recording a video? I will post the video if you don’t transfer the money to me!”
Suzy naturally knew this sort of video, and a flash of unapproachable appeared in her eyes. “Give me your phone. I’ll get my friend to transfer it to you.”
“No, I changed my mind. How about this: you play with me and don’t have to pay back 30 million.”
“Damn you!”
Suzy knew that even if the other party could obtain money, they would not easily let her off.
At this moment, she looked very calm and smiled slightly. “Okay, let’s play something interesting, shall we?”
“Oh, okay. How do you want to play?”
“Since we are in the casino, how about taking gambles?”
The other party patted his thigh. “Okay!”
Baker called his men away and took a pack of cards. He sat opposite Suzy.
“The loser has to accept any punishment!”
Suzy smiled casually. “Sure.”
Baker was a gambling god. He was sure he could defeat Suzy, but after a few rounds, he lost to Suzy.
The punishment Suzy gave Baker was just a few drinks. A few minutes later, Baker lost again, throwing the cards in his hand onto the table.
“F*ck, I’m not playing anymore.”
The corners of Suzy’s lips curled up slightly. “All right, Baker, you lost this round. You have to be punished.”
Baker stood up with a smile. Having drunk a lot, he was a little tipsy at the moment. He sat shakily beside Suzy. “Alright, how do you want to punish me?”
When his hand was about to touch Suzy’s thigh, Suzy silently moved aside and untied the ribbon on her skirt.
“Let’s play a hide-and-seek game. If you catch me, you can do whatever you want to me.”
“Okay, this is interesting!”
Suzy was all smiles as she picked up a piece of cloth and covered Baker’s eyes. Then, she stood to the side.
“Little beauty, where are you? You have to hide well.”
“I’ve hidden it well,” Suzy’s charming voice replied.
Suzy rolled her eyes speechlessly as she looked at Baker’s shifty-eyed expression, “You think you’re the boss when you’re just like this…”
Baker soon touched her in front of her.
“Hehehe, beauty, I already smell your perfume; I’m coming!”
Baker rushed over. Suzy moved to the side, picked up the jade on the table, and smashed it hard on the back of his head.
“Huh?”
Baker exclaimed, and then he fainted and fell to the ground.
A few lackeys smiled at each other when they heard their boss call out from outside the door.
“Our boss is having a blast!”
“After he finishes playing, let’s go in and play! We must make that Suzy…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man came up the stairs with dozens of people behind him. It was Sean. His voice was no longer as evil as usual, with a trace of offish.
“Where’s Suzy?”
The two men got up in a panic. “Come on, come on!”
There was a fierce fight outside. The door of the office was opened, and Sean hurried in. He saw Suzy sitting casually on the sofa, eating fruit, and then looking at the person who had fainted…
Sean said, “F*ck! I was worried sick about you. Look at you, eating fruit here. Don’t you know how to go out and have a look?”
Suzy blinked and smiled. “You came quite quickly. Are you really interested in me?”
“You’re still suspecting me! I’ve done so much for you, and I’m injured!” As he spoke, Sean pulled up his sleeve. There was a bruise on his arm. He had been hit by one of Baker’s men.
Suzy shook her head. “I don’t doubt it anymore.”
Sean was speechless.
Suzy looked at his arm, which had a very long bruise; she felt hurt even when she looked at it.
“Let’s go to the hospital.”
When she was about to get up, the office door was opened again. Suzy thought that it was Baker’s men. When she saw the person at the door, she was suddenly stunned.
It was Evan.
Before she was brought here, Suzy thought Evan might appear. She also believed that Evan probably wouldn’t care about her anymore.
However, at this very moment… he had finally arrived.
Evan looked at the two people in the office, and his dark eyes were stunned.
The atmosphere was silent for two seconds, just like a living hell. It was Sean who broke the silence. He raised his eyebrows and said in an evil voice, “Mr. Hughes, you’re also here to rescue Suzy, but I’m sorry, you’re a step late.”
