Chapter 59: Picked Up from the Street
Chapter 59: Picked Up from the Street
After Josh took two million from Jameson, he lived a wealthy life.He enjoyed the flattery of others with
his well-combed shiny hair.
His vanity began to surge.
At this moment, someone gave him a way to make money.
Two million couldn't satisfy Josh's needs.
After the guy described a bright future to him, he immediately invested all the money he had.
However, there was still a gap of several hundred thousand.
He went to find a loan shark and invited them to join him.
However, this was obviously a trap.
After the swindler ran away with the money, the usurers came to him to ask for the bill.
Josh received the news and hid again, but somehow, those people found out that his son worked in a
convenience store, so they went to ask Ruben for the bill.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ruben to give them money, and since they had come with bad
intentions, they immediately attacked.
After hearing this, Sharon felt her temples twitch.
No wonder she had a bad premonition.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ruben frowned and said, "Don't worry about this.Their lives have
nothing to do with us."
"Little boy, you can't say that.It's compulsory to repay your debts.How can we not care?"
A sudden male voice sounded from behind.
Sharon turned her head and unconsciously grabbed Ruben's arm. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
This man was the man who broke into their house three years ago and pressed Ruben's hand to let her
make a choice.
Ruben also recognized him.
He was filled with coldness.
He wanted to charge forward, but Sharon firmly pulled him back.
Bridger Fowler looked at Sharon and smiled, "What a coincidence.I didn't expect that we would meet
again."
Sharon pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything.
Ruben blocked Sharon behind him, his face covered in coldness, "Ask Josh for the money.’ "Who is the
angry man? It's Josh's son.I haven't seen you in three years.You have already grown so tall."
As Bridger said that, he turned to the group of hoodlums behind him and said, "Come and take a
look.This is the championship of the college entrance exam in our province.Come here to share part of
his intelligence.’’
A group of gangsters began to laugh.
The commotion here alerted the police and a person walked over, "What are you messing with? What
place do you think this is?"
Bridger raised his hand and waved, signaling the gangsters to calm down.
"Officer, don't be angry.We have a champion here.We are congratulating him."
Bridger used to practice usury all year round, and he had a record in all the major local police stations.
The police glanced at him and warned him, "Save your satire, get to the point."
"Alright.This is a private matter.We'll just settle it privately.We don't need to trouble you."
At this time, Sharon suddenly said, "I want to sue."
When everyone looked over, she repeated, "I want to sue the people who beat up my brother."
Bridger's expression turned cold.
Just as he was about to speak, Sharon said to him, "Didn't you just want money? I can give it to you,
but they hit my brother, so it's impossible to just let it go."
Bridger smiled again, "That makes sense.After all, this is this and that is that."
The group of gangsters usually caused trouble everywhere, and it was common for them to be arrested
into the detention center.
Bridger said, "When will you pay?"
"Three days later.I need time to raise money.’
"Good, straightforward of you.Then it's settled."
Ruben grabbed Sharon and said, "You can't give it to him!"
Sharon whispered, "Ruben, leave this matter to me."
Bridger looked at Ruben and clicked his tongue, "Little boy, your sister is much more decisive than
you.If I were you, I would have broken my hand three years ago instead of letting her..."
There was a loud noise! Ruben punched Bridger in the face.
All the hooligans behind Bridger immediately stood up.
Bridger waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and rubbed his face, "Why are you all so
emotional? Our champion will just hide behind his sister.Let him vent his anger.It's no big deal."
Sharon grabbed Ruben again and said calmly, "Ruben, let's go."
Ruben would start school next week.She didn't want to make a fuss out of it.
After leaving the detention center, Ruben remained silent with a cold expression.
Sharon took a taxi and said to the driver, "Sir, go to the hospital."
After saying that, she said to Ruben, "You need to treat the wounds on your face.Take an X-ray test
and see if there are any internal injuries."
Ruben looked out of the window and said after a while, "Do you really want to give them money?"
Sharon smiled, "I'm not a fool.Besides, how can I get so much money?"
They gangsters wouldn't let them back.
How could they leave if they didn't agree? Ruben's tightly knitted brows relaxed.
"Then what should we do now?"
It didn't matter to him, but since those people could find his work place, it was only a matter of time
before they could find Sharon's.
"Find Josh first”
"He has been hiding for a long time.Can you find him?"
Josh had been in debt all these years, and he had perfected his skills.
As long as he hid, he would be like a rat in a sewer, which meant that unless he showed himself, it
would be very difficult for others to find him.
"There's always a way, Sharon said softly.
"But..."
"Don't worry about this, I can handle it.Just do well in school."
Ruben did not say anything and he did not look good.
Bridger was correct.
Ruben had no choice but to rely on Sharon to bear everything related to money.
But unlike three years ago, he had time to think of a way.
After a while, Ruben said, "Go home.I'll go to the hospital myself."
Sharon was indeed very tired, so she did not force herself.
Ruben asked the driver to send Sharon home first, and then to the Twilight Club.
Seeing that Sharon returned late, Tiffany immediately walked over and asked, "How is it, is Ruben
alright?"
"He's mildly injured.He has gone to the hospital."
"What exactly happened?"
Sharon exhaled a sigh of relief, "Josh owed money and ran away again.’’
Hearing this, Tiffany couldn't help but curse.She had lived for so many years, but she had never seen
someone like Josh, who had involved his children time and time again.
He didn't deserve to be a father.
Sometimes, she really suspected that Sharon and Ruben were picked up by Josh from the street.
Sharon said, "Tiffany, I'm not feeling well.I'll go to bed."
Tiffany came back to her senses and said, "Alright, hurry up and go."
Sharon walked into the room and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.A feeling of
powerlessness spread to all parts of her body.
Although she told Ruben that there was always a way to find Josh, she was still at a loss.
Even if she could find Josh this time, what about next time? Josh was like a bottomless abyss, and she
would never be able to fill it.
Moreover, if she were to find him, could she watch as they beat him to death?
