Chapter 162
“Don’t worry, I’ll transfer the money to you as soon as I hang up!” Lucy said.
Lindsay smiled. “Alright! If you ever need help with this kind of quick–cash job again, just let me know!”
On the other end, Lucy hung up and immediately transferred the money to Lindsay. She then looked
at Audrey.
“Audrey, what’s next?”
Lucy sat on the sofa, watching Audrey make coffee in the kitchen.
“Let Charles wait for a bit.”
Audrey put the coffee pot down.
She carried two cups over and handed one to Lucy.
“Charles is already addicted to gambling. He’ll continue to gamble while looking for you. When he can’t win anymore, he’ll become even crazier in his search for you.”
Lucy nodded, gripping the coffee cup tightly in her hand. “No matter what, I’ll make Charles pay!”
Audrey took a sip of coffee. “He will. He’ll experience everything you and your sister have been through.”
Now that the Franklin Group had assigned part of its orders to the Murray Group, this would be the largest deal for the Murray Group in recent years.
How could the Murray Group, with its limited cash flow, compare to the Franklin Group? Things would get interesting if Charles touched Murray Group’s assets or stole the formula.
Charles owed Harper his life.
Audrey would watch Charles suffer and beg Harper for forgiveness in the afterlife.
As Audrey anticipated, Charles couldn’t resist gambling before he even found Lucy. He had to borrow more money from Shawn because he was broke.
Shawn didn’t say much; he just handed the contract to Charles. Charles signed his name on the last page without even looking at the terms.
Shawn smiled and lent the money to Charles, casually mentioning that the previous loan hadn’t been repaid yet.
Charles only replied that he would repay the previous loan once he won the money this time.
“Alright! Let’s hope Mr. Murray can repay the previous debt as soon as possible today!” Shawn smiled at his subordinates and said, “Escort Mr. Murray out.”

However, as expected, Charles lost all the money he had borrowed again.
As he was about to leave the casino, Shawn and his men intercepted him and took him to a secluded alley behind the casino.
“Mr. Murray, we agreed that you’d pay for the previous debt today, no?” Shawn said with a smile.
Charles’s expression slightly changed as he looked at the group of people behind Shawn, his brows furrowing.
“I’ve lost all my money today, but don’t worry. I’m not someone who owes money. Once I find my lucky star, winning it all back will be a piece of cake!”
“But Mr. Murray, including the interest from your previous loans, you’ve already borrowed over five million from us.”
Shawn reached out and accepted the document his subordinate handed to him.
“Take a look. I trusted you enough to lend you so much, but now I can’t explain it to my superiors. Regardless, you need to pay the interest from the initial one million you borrowed, it’s about—let’s see, 250 thousand now.”
Charles gritted his teeth. “You know my brother–in–law is Nathan, the chairman of the Franklin group, right? Do you really think I’d owe you guys money? When I borrow money from you, I’m doing you a favor!”
“Yes, yes! The Franklin Group is a big corporation. It’s precisely because you’re Mr. Nathan’s brother- in–law that I dared to lend you so much money! But look Mr. Murray, you’ve borrowed so much, you can’t just not repay a single cent, right?
“To save us both the trouble, let’s start with repaying the 250 thousand in interest. It’s just a small amount for Mr. Murray, isn’t it?”
Shawn was smiling, but the tough henchmen behind him looked fierce and menacing.
