Chapter 5
Shane frowned. Her birth mother, who didn't have much emotions, had two extremes in her voice and personality.
Before the age of 19, Shane lived with her adoptive parents, and she didn't know what her biological mother looked like.
And suddenly she appeared in front of her telling her that she owed a debt of 12 million in Macau casinos.
Shane is afraid of receiving her call because she usually just remembers her as a daughter when she loses in gamble.
Ever since Shane helped her settle her gambling debt and her mother knew very well what role his future son-in-law would be.
"What's the matter?" To the phone, Shane's tone was cold.
The attitude of her mother on the other end of the line also seemed to be very calm as if she's talking about a usual routine. She said: "I lost some money. 2 million is not much this time..."
Shane’s anger condensed to a boiling point, and it seemed that she finally found an outlet to vent, and shouted at the phone, "When will you ever stop? You gamble again and again and keep on losing. Didn't you promise me that you will stop gambling?!"
Shane's tears flowed from her cheeks unconvincingly, and this sense of powerlessness made her feel extremely depressed.
Rose on the other end of the phone seemed to have expected that she would react like this, and said in a steady tone, "Don’t teach me what to do. Don't forget that if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't live and have a good life you're enjoying now. "
A good life?! Shane suddenly wanted to laugh. Her fiancé just left her alone on the street and now, her biological mother said that she's living the best life. Is this a joke?!
"I have no money!", Shane coldly on the phone.
Rose on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before speaking, “I know you won’t leave your mother alone, right? Give me the money in three days. Let's meet at the Starbucks Coffee shop on the Cheatum Road. I’ll wait for you there!"
After speaking, Rose hung up the phone quickly, and she didn't even give Shane a chance to refute.
...
Shane angrily wiped the tears from her face. She hated her mother for giving birth to hers without even caring about anything. She hated her for never caring about her life, and hated her for reaching out to her again and again asking for money and treat her like a bank.
But even so, can she really not care about her?
This woman gave her life after all and they are related by blood. If the debt she owed is not paid off within the specified time, she knows how it would end on TV...
Thinking of this, she finally picked up the phone, dialed a series of numbers, and said, "Lance, where are you now?"
...
When Shane appeared in the KTV VIP room on the 4th floor of Hauge Business Hotel, she stopped and hesitated.
Lance left in anger. At this moment, she doesn't know how he will react if she asks money from him.
Thinking of this, Shane thought it might be better to wait for Lance to return.
But before she turned to leave, she was hit by a beautiful lady in a blue dress who suddenly came out of the private room.
The woman grabbed the overcoat on Shane's shoulders and barely managed the high heels that weighed more than ten centimeters on her feet. After she stood firm, she frowned at Shane.
"I was scared to death, what are you doing standing at the door? Either go in or get out of the way. Don't get in the way here..." the woman in blue skirt said unceremoniously.
Shane just wanted to speak, but through the crack of the door he saw Lance inside looking towards the door.
This time, she couldn't go even if she wanted to go, so she had to bite the bullet, apologized to the woman in front of her, and opened the door and walked in.
In the private room, a row of black leather sofas merged with the background under the warm and dim light. Shane, who had just walked in from the strong light, couldn't see the situation inside for a while.
After getting used to it for a while, she can see everything clearly.
There were at least a dozen of people sitting on the sofa. Except for Lance and a man she hadn't seen, the others were all beautiful women, all dressed beautifully.
The woman in red sitting next to Lance was snuggling in his arms, peeling a purple grape and sending it into his mouth.
Seeing Shane standing at the door, Lance pushed the woman away from his arms, smiled evilly at her, and stretched out his hand to signal her, "Come here!"
Shane suppressed her emotions and walked slowly in front of him.
Lance leaned on the sofa and raised his head to look at her. After a chuckle, he pulled the woman beside him into his arms, pointed at Shane, smirked and asked the woman in his arms, and said, "Baby, do you think she is beautiful?"
The woman who was embraced by Lance looked up and down at Shane and said with disdain, "Lance, are you kidding me?! Which part of her is beautiful?"
Shane knew very well that Lance was deliberately humiliating her. But at this time, she had no capital to slam the door away, and she had to bear it anyway.
Without looking at the contemptuous expression of the beauty in red, Shane took a step further and whispered to Lance, "Lance, I have something to tell you.Can you come out?"
