Chapter 409 - 416: Do Me a Favor
The two were whispering quietly in the room when the sounds of arguing suddenly erupted from outside.
"Campbell, are you still trying to bullshit me? If you don’t pay up today, I’ll skin you alive."
"I’m telling you, my son-in-law has plenty of money. That little bit of debt? I don’t even see it as worth mentioning. What are you rushing for? Give it three days tops, and I’ll pay you back."
"Do you think I’m an idiot? You used to claim your son-in-law was some big-time mob boss. Well, go ahead and have him bring a gang to take care of me! Do you know how tired I am of your bragging?"
"Ha! Campbell, if your son-in-law is so impressive, why not have him repay the debt for you then?"
"Hmph. You better not push me. I’m not bluffing—if you piss off my son-in-law, you’re going to be crawling around looking for your teeth."
A noisy group of people barged into the yard. Emma Campbell’s face grew dark again. Recently, John Brown had given her some money. She barely spent any on herself and had handed most of it to her father. That money should’ve been more than enough for him to live on. And yet, here he was, in debt again.
John Brown patted Emma Campbell’s shoulder lightly, let out a sigh, and said, "I’ll handle this for your father."
"No!" Emma Campbell immediately clung to John Brown, biting her lip as she said, "He needs to face some consequences. If you bail him out this time, he’ll only keep going, and with you as his safety net, he’ll go even further."
Emma Campbell understood her father all too well. It wasn’t that she was heartless—he had simply broken her heart too many times. This was her first time making such a bold decision.
John Brown smiled faintly and said, "Then let’s see how things go. Making him suffer a bit is fine, but we can’t let him get seriously hurt."
