Chapter 213
Patricia took out her ID card from the bag. "I have an ID card and have signed a contract with you
before, so you can check. I am the mother of that child. Let me meet her first."
The man inside looked at Patricia and the ID card in her hand. After ensuring she was the person in the
photo, he opened the door.
The room had very poor air circulation. The men were playing drinking games and yelling, and the
choking smell of smoke made her cough a few times.
"Boss, this is the woman who owes us money." Blake, sitting in the main seat, looked up at Patricia.
Before Patricia came upstairs with the two men, she deliberately messed up her makeup, so now she
looked ugly. Her black eyeliner was smudged around her eyes, making her look like a giant panda. Her
lipstick was smeared around her lips, giving the impression that she had a particularly big mouth.
Hence, Blake glanced quickly at her and looked away; he was obviously disgusted at her appearance.

was slightly pulled toward each side of his face as he spoke, making it uncomfortable to look at.
Patricia handed over the card. "The money is in here. You can swipe it directly, or I can transfer the
money." Initially, she did not want to use the card because she knew that her grandfather was the one
who had given her the 500,000. So, she was not willing to touch a single cent.
But today was different. Sylvie was in their hands, and she could save her daughter with the money.
Self-esteem and arrogance were no longer important to Patricia.
The man motioned to his subordinate, who took the card away. Patricia merely stood there looking at
those men, who were savages, swearing and drinking alcohol.
It was the first time she had seen such a scene, and she was pretty shocked. Now she knew the world
was full of people like the ones she saw tonight, not just handsome and cool wealthy young masters
like Isaac and the others. They were not ordinary people but dirty, stinky, ugly, bad-tempered, angry
men.
She clenched her handbag tightly in both hands. She was glad that she had made this ghastly
appearance before coming upstairs. Otherwise, a woman like her would be a prey item in front of these
men. She would be finished if one of them started having additional thoughts about her.
Doad and Fatty were also sitting at the table and were having a drink with the others. All the men
seemed excited. As they were eating meat and drinking wine, their voices grew louder.
Patricia kept glancing at the room not far away. Why was the guy so slow to transfer the money? She
wanted to leave here with Sylvie as soon as possible without having to delay any longer. The drunker
these people got, the more dangerous it would be for her and Sylvie. As these thoughts crossed her
mind, Patricia lost her patience and could not help but stare at the door.
A woman in a tight red skirt emerged at that moment, her hips swaying. "Blake, there's not enough
money on this card."
He glanced at Patricia with his fierce eyes upon hearing that. "Patricia, are you playing with us? If you
don't have enough money, who will you redeem?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatricia hastily explained, "There's exactly 500,000 in it. It's the principal amount I borrowed from you. I
can make up for the interest tomorrow." Tonight's event was too sudden, and she did not have time to
find Darcie. Since there were only 500,000, she thought she could beg them to give her some leeway
after she paid the principal. They should not be afraid that she would be running away if she repaid the
principal.
Blake suddenly sneered. "Only repaying the principal? Gosh, do you think we are this easy?"
The woman in red wrapped her arms around Blake's neck and smiled when Blake asked the question.
"Miss Patricia, you probably haven't had the chance to calculate it properly, have you? Yes, you
borrowed 500,000. If you fail to pay it off within a month, it will be 550,000. Not only did you fail to pay it
off within a month, but you also delayed it for another month. Do you know that from this month
onward, we calculate using compounding interest? Right now, you owe us a total of 2 million."
Patricia's eyes widened in bewilderment. "2 million!"
"Yes, it seems to be 2.23 million today, but it won't be the same price tomorrow."
Patricia became agitated and cursed the woman. "What! This is a robbery! How can you compound like
this?"
