Chapter 13: The Debt Collectors Pay a Visit!

Upon hearing these words, Quentin's face lit up with joy.

"Great!" he exclaimed. A million was just a small matter to him.

However, Charlotte's tone turned cold. "I won't take your money. Do you see me as the kind of woman who can be bought with money?"

If it weren't for the fear of her parents and children being harmed, she wouldn't even consider meeting Sean. After all, it was a huge debt of one million dollars. For them at the moment, it was an astronomical sum.

Who could have imagined that Sean was actually such a scumbag?

"I..." Quentin started, "I didn't mean it that way."

It seemed that if he were to directly give a million to the Pittman family, Charlotte would never accept it. He knew this woman had pride. Otherwise, with Theo and Janessa, she would have long been the lady of the Holland family.

"Also, don't make promises carelessly. A million dollars, can you produce it now?" Charlotte's tone grew even colder.

"Get lost," Emma snapped, "Don't come to my house again until you've gathered one million."

Quentin nodded and looked at Charlotte. "I did this not because I think you're a woman who can be bought with money, but because I can't bear to see you suffer. I've owed the three of you for all these years..."

"From now on, I will spend my life protecting you!"

Charlotte's heart trembled.

Just then, a rapid and chaotic flurry of footsteps suddenly burst in from outside the door, mixed with a few coarse, foul-mouthed voices.

Upon hearing these sounds, the faces of the Pittman family turned pale.

"Quick, close the door!" Emma's voice was filled with fear, and Rashad immediately rushed forward to shut the door...

But it was too late!

The door was kicked open!

Rashad was pushed to the ground.

A group of bare-chested men with knives and clubs poured in, looking fierce and menacing.

"Mom, I'm scared..." Both of the children tightly grasped onto Charlotte's clothes.

"Miss Pittman, when will you repay the money you owe us?" the leader of the men sneered.

He held a steel knife and slammed it on the table!

The people of the Pittman family were startled.

"If you don't repay the money soon, we will resort to violence. Don't blame us for being ruthless then. The two children are quite cute, they should be worth a lot, right? Miss Pittman, you're one of the top three beautiful women of Stresall, so you're worth a lot too. Hehe..."

"I will definitely repay the money I owe you..." Charlotte gritted her teeth. "The principal is 200 thousand, plus one million in interest. As long as you don't harm my family, I will give you every cent."

200 thousand principal?

Plus a million in interest?

Quentin suddenly understood why the Pittman family was so short of money.

These were loan sharks!

"No, it's now one million one hundred thousand," the man sneered.

"This is a bit much, isn't it?" Quentin's tone was icy. "I'll give you back the 200 thousand first, but you are not allowed to harass the Pittman family in the future."

"Who the hell are you to talk back and teach me?" the big man called Martin cursed and raised his hand, about to strike!

"Eileen." With a casual wave of her hand, Eileen effortlessly broke Martin's wrist!

"Ah!" Martin let out a miserable cry. "Are you crazy? Dare to resist? Kill the men and capture the women! After I have enough fun, sell them to the whorehouse!"

"They, they are really desperados..."

"You jinx, Quentin! Are you crazy? Dare to fight them!"

The Pittman family was completely frightened.

"Get them!" The thugs roared and wielded their weapons, attacking fiercely, as if they wanted to kill them all!
