GoodReadScarlett glanced at the number on her cell phone, got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window. She dialed the number.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn't get through to this number for the first and second time, so she dialed it for the third ttirelessly.
Darnell’s life had been tougher than ever recently. His family had suddenly gone bankrupt and was in debt to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. In the past few days, debtors had been at his gate asking him to pay every day.
His newly married wife had taken all the gold bars and scash from his home, and his cars had been towed away to pay off his debts.
In spite of all this, he couldn't pay off the debts. The unpaid workers were at the gate of his villa every day, and loan sharks were calling him one after another.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was the third call from an unknown number. Darnell thought it must be a debt collector's call, and he instinctively wanted to slam down his phone, so that he could worry less.
However, while he was looking at the number on his phone, somehow he answered the phone.
He didn't know why he was expecting a little bit that this was a call from his wife who had run away with the gold bars and the money.
However, the fact made him very disappointed. The woman on the other end of the phone had a very unfamiliar voice," Hello, Darnell, do you remember me?" After a pause, the woman added, "I'm Scarlett." ‘Scarlett! ‘The woman that | had been chasing for two years at university, and that | had been obsessed with but had never got.' Five years after graduation, she called him out of the blue. He wondered what she was up to, "How did you get my phone number?" "Is it strange? Not only do | have your phone number, but also | know what's been going on with you." Men were always very feisty with the women they had been obsessed with and had never got, and Darnell was no exception. Scarlett's words pierced his heart like a needle, "What do you know?" He didn't believe it.
"Nothing special. | just know that your company has gone bankrupt and you owe more than one hundred workers' wages. And even | know that you can't pay the balance of the project and owe sixty to seventy million dollars in debt." As she spoke, Scarlett smiled, "By the way, your wife seems to have taken all the gold bars and the cash." "You spy on me?" "Don't speak so harshly. | have no such hobby." After a pause, Scarlett said, "I'm just confident in what | have done." "It was you who did it. Why? Why did you do this to me? Is it because | chased you for two years at university?" As it turned out, Linley was nothing more than a passer-by in Darnell's life. He had done such a bad thing, but he forgot it long ago.
Scarlett sneered coldly, "Do you forget what you did to Linley?" "Who is Linley? | used to have dozens of girlfriends. Do you want to ctoagain and again for them..." As he spoke, Darnell’s face changed.
