    As soon as he crossed the threshold, the man wore a frigid expression as he shouted, “Damn it! Who is the one refusing to pay my second aunt the money she’s owed?”


    Linda pointed usingly at ine, saying, “Hudson, that’s her!”


    The neer was none other than her nephew, Hudson Howard.


    Hudson directed his piercing gaze at ine and asked, “What? You actually think you can get away with not paying my second aunt? Do you even know who I am? Are you tired of living in Aurous Hill already?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Trembling with fear, ine replied, “I…I honestly don’t have the money to pay you…”


    Linda coldly retorted, “Quit with the nonsense! If you don’t have cash, then hand over your vi! Otherwise, you’ll regret it today!”


    On the verge of a breakdown, ine shouted, “I don’t have any money! I have nothing to give you, even if it costs me my life!”


    Hudson advanced, seized ine by her hair, and delivered a sharp p to her face.


    Instantly, ine’s cheeks turned red and swollen, and blood began to trickle from her nose.


    Copsed on the floor, she cried out in pain. Hudson pped her again, cursing, “Shut up! If you make another sound, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”


    Terrified, ine immediately silenced herself, staring at Hudson without daring to make a sound.


    Hudson then kicked her to the ground, continuing to stomp on her. He asked coldly, “Let me ask you again: are you really going to default on your payment?”


    Enduring severe pain from the kicks, ine sobbed, “Sister Linda, please, just let me off this once for the sake of our friendship!”


    Linda frowned and replied, “I’ve just met you today; I wouldn’t even consider you a friend. What kind of friend just overlooks a debt of fifty-five million dors?”


    At that moment, Hudson, still standing over ine, threatened, “Are you seriously trying to negotiate with my second aunt? Have you seen my brothers? If you don’t pay up, I’ll make sure they take turns with you, and I’ll record it! Given your age, it must be tough for your husband to satisfy you, right? I’ll make sure my brothers handle that for you today!”


    ine was utterly terrified!


    She pleaded desperately, “Sister Linda, please give me a chance. Let me call my son-inw. I’ll have him bring the house deed for the vi, and then you can let me off…”


    She noticed the tattoos on the men surrounding her, recognizing them as dangerous and ruthless individuals.


    There was no way she could afford to provoke them.


    If she continued to resist, she risked either being beaten to death or being forced to make a humiliating video…


    It seemed Charlie might be her only hope for salvation!


    Hudson smirked coldly, saying, “Of course you can call your son-inw, but how can I be sure you won’t call the police?”


    “I promise I won’t!” ine quickly assured him. “How about I call him right in front of you?”


    Hudson responded, “Before I let you make that call, you need to strip and let me film you from every angle. That way, if you ever think of calling the police, I’ll have this video ready to post online!”


    ine felt as if she’d been struck by lightning!


    He wanted to film her naked?


    She was over fifty! Why would he want that kind of video of her?


    If that footage leaked, she wouldn’t know how to show her face in public.


    ine realized that agreeing to this would give himplete control over her.


    With such a threat looming, she could only expect the worst if she didn’tply—her reputation would be ruined, turning her into aughingstock in Aurous Hill!<fnfadf> The rightful source is F?ndNovel</fnfadf>


    There was no way she could agree to such a video!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
