Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 965 Drive Me to Death

Amelie refused to follow them.

The two men in front of her looked like trouble, especially the fat man with a tattoo on his arm. His eyes were filled with contempt

and ill intent.

“If you don’t explain clearly, I won’t go with you,” she said firmly, stepping back a few paces.

It was Christmas, and if she ran into danger, only the police could help. But by the time they arrived, it might be too late.

She remained vigilant, eyeing the two men warily.

The fat man, out of patience, barked, “If you want your son to live, you’ll come with us. He owes 30 million dollars at the casino and can’t pay. He said you could pay off his debt. Our boss saw your picture and said you have some charm. Come with us, earn the money, and you can go.”

“What?” Amelie was shocked.

She couldn’t believe her son, whom she had spoiled since childhood, would do this.

It was Christmas, and her son hadn’t come home.

She thought he was out having fun, trying to clear his head after noveldrama

Chapter 965 Drive Me to Death losing the company.

She never imagined he would gamble and lose 30 million dollars.

She didn’t even have three million dollars now, and the house wasn’t worth much either.

The worst part was learning that her son’s overseas branch was ruined by Paula’s scheming.

Outside, it was freezing. The fat man, shirtless, shivered with the cold, his muscles twitching under the icy air.

He snapped, “Why so many questions? Hurry up and come with us. Our boss said once you pay off the debt, you can go. Your son’s life depends on it.

“If you delay any longer, he is dead.”

“No!” Amelie screamed in fear, stepping back quickly. “No, I’m not going. Go find his father. His father is wealthy. He’ll pay you.”

Mark would help his son.

She realized then why Lily had returned alive and hadn’t accused Mark of trying to kill her.

Paula and Lily had been waiting for this moment.

It was all part of their plan to destroy them.

She had spent her life as a mistress, enjoying wealth without

effort.

She didn’t understand business and was no match for Paula.

Paula had set them up to fall from great heights, ensuring their downfall was as painful as possible.

Tears streamed down Amelie’s face. She was helpless and hopeless.

This might be karma for her years of taking what didn’t belong to her.

People tended to believe in fate when there were no solutions.

The fat man laughed coldly, “We know about Mark. He’s so broke he can’t afford dinner and is now kneeling at his ex–wife’s door, begging. In this cold, he might be tomorrow’s headline-a dead scumbag.”

Amelie was incredulous.

This couldn’t be true.

She covered her face, shaking her head. “No. I was supposed to be the richest. How did it all come to this? This isn’t the ending I wanted.”

“Stop crying. Let’s go.” The fat man grabbed her arm, but she quickly pulled away, terrified.

She shouted, “Don’t touch me. My daughter has money. I’ll call her to save her brother.”

The fat man, shivering, pushed her towards the house. “Fine,

call her inside. It’s too cold out here. If she pays up, we’ll leave without any trouble.”

Once inside, the warmth cased their discomfort.

The fat man shrugged, while the other man scolded him, “Told you to dress warmer. Now you’re freezing. Serves you right.”

“I thought we’d be quick. Not cold anymore.” He looked at Amelie and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Call your daughter and get the money. It’s Christmas, and I want to go home to my wife.”

Amelie was furious.

She gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, and called Queenie.

“Hello, Mom.” Queenie was in the hospital, watching over George, who hadn’t woken up yet. She was already in a foul mood.

She had planned a wonderful evening with him, but now…

Queenie closed her eyes, frustration mounting.

Then Amelie’s tearful voice came through the phone. “Queenie, help. Your brother lost 30 million dollars at the casino, and the

debt collectors are at our house. If we don’t pay, they’ll kill him.

“Queenie, he’s your only brother. You have to save him.

“I know it’s easy for you to come up with 30 million dollars. Once this matter is over, I’ll have your brother work for you and pay off the debt. Is it okay?”

The news irritated Queenie even further.

She was so angry that her head felt like it was about to explode.

Ever since falling out with Paula’s family, she hadn’t had a peaceful day.

Amelie only brought her trouble and couldn’t help her with anything.

“Mom, that’s 30 million dollars, not 300 dollars. You know I’m struggling too,” Queenie yelled, her head pounding.

Amelie pleaded, “Queenie, I know it’s tough, but with George’s help, you can save your brother. We’re family. Please, Queenie, I’m begging you.”

“Can you stop bothering me?” Queenie snapped, exasperated. “I’m already stressed. Why do you keep dragging me down?

“Mom, are you trying to drive me to death?”

She was frustrated. It seemed like she had reached a dead end. Even though George had returned, he still hadn’t allowed her to

Amelie’s sobs continued. “Queenie, it’s just 30 million dollars. If your brother is dead, who will be there for you? Please, help

him.”
