Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 40 Spend Money to Avoid Troubles

Chapter 40 Spend Money to Avoid Troubles

While Gianna and Taryn were eating cake, they had already decided on a place to have their dinner - a light food restaurant.

Considering that Taryn was young, they ordered some light dishes.

After dinner, it was already 11 o'clock, and Taryn was feeling a bit tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Lloyd suggested that Murray send Gianna back, but she refused.

She wanted to walk around the streets by herself.

During her ten years on the mountain, she never had the opportunity to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. Even if she occasionally left there, it was only to finish what she had to do and then she would immediately go back.

It was a lovely cool day with a gentle breeze.

Lloyd insisted on sending her back, but Gianna insisted on going back by herself.

The two of them held their ground for a long time. Lloyd eventually gave in and said, "Text me when you get home safely!"

"Okay."

Because of Taryn and the strawberry cake, Gianna's attitude towards Lloyd improved a lot, and she didn't talk to him as coldly as before. She always had a slight smile on her face when talking to him.

After Lloyd and Taryn left, Gianna walked towards home.

The city center was not far from Fallingwater Community, only about a ten-minute walk away.

However, Gianna walked very slowly while looking at the lively city.

Halfway through her journey, a sudden urgent shout came from behind her, "Move! Move aside!"

Gianna turned around and saw several people running towards her, with another group of people chasing after them with sticks.

When she saw the girl in front of them, her eyebrows raised unconsciously.

An acquaintance!

When those people ran up to her, the girl in front suddenly stopped and exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Geller?"

Without waiting for Gianna to speak, the girl turned around and saw the people behind them catching up, so she quickly pulled Gianna to run together.

Gianna: "..."

Perhaps because Gianna delayed them, their pace slowed down a bit, and the people behind caught up and surrounded them.

The girl saw that they couldn't run away, so she protected Gianna behind and angrily said to a young man with a crew cut and about twenty years old across from her, "Burton, are you playing dirty tricks with me? You can't beat me in a fight, so you called others to come. Don't you have balls?"

"Natalya! I admit that I can't beat you, but you can't escape either! According to the street rules, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. You are in my hands anyway. If you have the ability, you can

also find someone to help you," the young man with a crew cut replied fiercely.

Gianna was a bit speechless. So, did she bump into a fight?

The protagonist was Natalya, the young lady from the Levine family who had spoken for her at the recent Geller family banquet.

It was unexpected.

"Bullsh*t!" Natalya spat at him. "If it weren't for you tricking me to come, how could I have brought only three people?"

Just thinking about it made her feel so frustrated!

After leaving the Geller's villa, she was originally planning to go out for a meal with some friends. However, someone came to find her and said that one of her friends had drunk too much. Without much thought, she called three people to go with her. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Who would have thought that it was a trap designed by Burton and they were then mobbed?

She then proposed to fight Burton one-on-one. However, that scumbag called more than twenty people when he couldn't beat her.

How could she possibly fight against so many people? She could only run!

"Stop talking nonsense! You injured my brother's head last time, and this time you have to leave with one leg." Burton held a stick and slapped his palm with it.

"You want one of my legs? Sure! We have our grievances to settle. But this girl has nothing to do with this, let her go." Natalya pointed to Gianna.

Burton looked at Gianna and his eyes lit up. She was so pretty!

Natalya could tell from his expression what the scumbag was thinking. She said with disgust, "The street rules dictate that we do not harm innocent people. We'll settle the score only between us!"

Burton took his gaze back from Gianna, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay!"

When he agreed, Natalya breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Gianna and said, "You go quickly."

Then she whispered in a voice that only two of them could hear, "Go to the Levine family and deliver a message for me. Tell my dad that if he doesn't help me, the next day he will see my dead body."

Gianna: "..."

How did she get involved in this fight?

And she even became a messenger out of nowhere?

But since Natalya spoke up for her at the Geller's villa, she reluctantly agreed to help her out this time.

Gianna nodded and left.

Natalya breathed a sigh of relief as Gianna left. This place was not too far from her family, only five minutes by car.

However, it was not easy to find a taxi at this time, so Gianna had to run there. If she could run faster, she should be able to get there within ten minutes.

She knew some martial arts, and even though there were about twenty people on the other side, and they had only four people including herself. So they could sure hold on for fifteen minutes.

Thinking of this, Natalya cursed in her heart, "Old man, you better hurry up. Otherwise, you will have no one to take care of you when you get old."

Unexpectedly, just as Natalya was about to start a fight, Gianna suddenly turned back.

Natalya frowned and asked, "Why did you come back?"

Was she stupid?

Couldn't she see the situation here?

She had already left, why did she come back?

The key point is, Gianna came back, who will inform her dad?

Gianna did not answer Natalya but walked up to Burton and asked, "How much did your brother spend on his head?"

Burton was confused by her question and said, "5 thousand dollars!"

Gianna thought for a moment and then said seriously, "I'll give you 30 thousand dollars, 15 thousand dollars to compensate your brother's medical expenses and the other 15 thousand dollars to eliminate the enmity between you and Ms. Levine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Natalya, Burton, and his men were all stunned!

Natalya was the first to react and hurried over to her, angrily asking, "What are you doing? These are real gangsters. They seek revenge for grudges and pay back grievances, and how can money buy them off?"

Gianna turned her head and became even more serious, saying, "If it can be solved with money, it's not a big deal!"

Natalya: "..."

I certainly know this!

My family has money!

30 thousand dollars is only a few days' living expenses for me!

The key is these people!

They are not just after money!

Gianna didn't look at her anymore, but continued to ask Burton with a serious face, "How about it? Can you consider it? Or do you want to name your price?"

Burton didn't say anything, but was calculating in his mind.

He was a hooligan in this area, with twenty or so brothers under his command and a boss named Enrique.

Their made a living by collecting protection fees everywhere.

On one hand, he had to give some money to Enrique, and on the other hand, he had to distribute part of the money to his subordinates. After dividing the money, each got only 800 dollars per month.

To be honest, this amount of money was barely enough for them to have a decent meal, as every meal meant sacrificing the chance to eat another meal.

If they had any ability, they wouldn't want to live like this either.

But now, being able to get 30 thousand dollars, he felt that his future life for the next several months would be bright.

Gianna didn't interrupt him and let him think.

After a long time, Burton looked at Gianna and said, "50 thousand dollars! With this amount, we can settle the score between us."

In fact, he thought that 30 thousand dollars was enough, but he wanted to leave room for bargaining.
