Chapter 427
Seeing that Celeste was still on the phone, the scarred man grew impatient “Are you done yet?”
Celeste replied, “Yes”
Celeste put her arm down and said. Please wat a moment My friend will be here soon. Once he arrives, we can tak your people step aside and let the nurse help with the breathing machine
The man was skeptical but didn’t budge. As soon as the money is paid well step aside
out the debt Please have
Celeste’s face turned ugly. Tim here, where can I run? If something happens to her today, forget about the money, none of you will get away”
The man sneered and grabbed her chin. “Are you threatening me, little gei?”
Celeste felt a chill down her spine and reflexively slapped his hand away
“Slap” The sound was crisp and clear
His subordinates grabbed Celeste’s hair and slapped her, “You bitch! My bro is talking to you! What’s with your attitude? Apologize to my bro
Celeste didn’t hear what the man had said
The strength of a woman is no match for a man. When the slap hit, her head was filled with buzzing, and half of her face was numb in pain, so she couldn’t hear anything
Seeing her not responding, he grew angner, “Are you deaf? I told you to apologize to my bro!”
He raised his hand again, but before it could land, someone kicked him from behind with such force that he flew out and crashed into the machines, knocking everything to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned and turned to look over.
Nicolas stood there, coldly saying, “You should be grateful I haven’t been practicing at the boxing gym lately Otherwise, you’d be carried out of here today.”
Mason stepped forward to help Celeste up.
Her hair was disheveled from the slap. Mason brushed her hair aside to reveal the clear handprint on her pale left cheek. Her skin was slightly swollen, and there was blood at the corner of her lips, probably from biting her mouth.
Mason’s eyes instantly turned icy cold.
Celeste gently pushed his hand away. She didn’t dwell on why Mason was there, as the important thing now was to deal with the people in front of her. She whispered to Mason, “I’m fine. They have a stack of IOUS saying my mother owes them money, but the signatures on them aren’t my mom’s handwriting”
“I got it,” Mason pulled her behind him and whispered, “Leave it to me.”
Seeing the well-dressed couple, the man said, “You two just got here and started attacking my bro. That’s not very appropriate, is it?”
Nicolas replied. “Is it appropriate for you guys to attack a frail woman?”
“My bro got a bit impulsive, and I couldn’t stop him,” the man paused, “Are you two here to help her pay the debt?”
As soon as Nicolas heard about the debt, he immediately stepped back and said to Mason, “You handle this.”
Celeste…
Why did she feel like Nicolas only stepped back because he was afraid of want to pay?
Mason glanced around the room and said calmly, “Where are the IOUS?”
Scarface thought he looked gentle and reasonable, like someone who could reason well, so he took out a stack of photocopies of IOUS from his bag and handed them to Mason
“Bro, we don’t wanna cause trouble, we’re all just trying to make a living, you know? If you can pay up, just do it, man. But if you can’t, don’t stand in our way here.”
Mason reviewed the IOU
