Meanwhile, at a private lounge in a bar called Dusk.
A few gangsters were sitting on a couch while eating peanuts and drinking small bottles of alcohol. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Mandy, May, and Lily were cowering in the corner of the room with anxious expressions.
At that moment, Mandy felt immense regret. She never imagined that the blond guy would have such a strong background.
If she had known who the blond guy was, she would have never kicked him with her high heels no matter what happened yesterday.
The blond guy was called Todd Knowles. Todd Knowles was a nobody, but his older brother was Peter Knowles!
Peter Knowles was an infamous gangster near Porthampton University.
The bars, karaoke boxes, and shower facilities around Porthampton University were all places dominated by Peter.
If a student from Porthampton University crossed Peter, things usually did not end well for them.
BANG BANG!
Suddenly, a loud knock sounded from the outside of the private lounge.
“Come in!” Peter sat in the middle of the couch and said coldly.
Brandon walked into the private lounge with a nervous expression. He bowed and scraped as he greeted Peter, “Hello, Pete!”
“Is that you, Brandon?”
Peter looked like he knew Brandon. A smile appeared on Peter’s face.
When Mandy, May, and Lily saw the smile on Peter’s face, a glimmer of hope flashed across their eyes.
If Brandon knew Peter, there was still a way to fix the situation.
“Pete, I’m so sorry. My girlfriend didn’t know any better, and she hit your little brother.”
“Could you… Let them go today, for my sake. I’ll definitely repay you in the future,” Brandon said inferiorly while looking at Peter.
“Hoho. Since Mr. Guthrie has requested it, then I will do it for your sake!”
Peter laughed coldly and said, “I originally planned to let my little brother savor these three ladies. But since Mr. Guthrie has made a request, then forget it. Compensate for my little brother’s medical expenses, then you can take the three of them!”
“How much are the medical expenses?” Brandon froze for a moment before asking through his gritted teeth.
“Your girlfriend did the damage, so she pays one hundred thousand. The other two will each pay fifty thousand dollars!” Peter said while pointing at Mandy.
Upon hearing that, Brandon was frozen on the spot. He had a stiff expression on his face.
Brandon had spent seventy thousand dollars at Brasserie Le Bernardin yesterday. Moreover, it was his dad’s money. Now that Peter was asking for one hundred thousand dollars, Brandon could not possibly shell out that much money!
“What’s the matter? You don’t have the money?” Peter asked with a frown as if he perceived Brandon’s predicament.
“Pete, isn’t one hundred thousand dollars a bit too much?” Brandon said lowly.
“Hoho. If you think that it’s too much, that’s fine. The three ladies will spend a night with my brother, then we’ll call it a day!” Peter laughed pervertedly.
“No! No!”
Brandon quickly shouted when he heard what Peter said. He then waved his hands. “Well then, Pete. How does this sound? First, I take her away. Then, I’ll send the money over after two days. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have the money ready!”
Peter’s lip curled into a half smile on his face. “Alright. Since we’ve known each other for so many years, I will do it for your sake.”
“Don’t you have a BMW? Right now, you can put your car up to be pawned here. Then, you can gather enough money within three days, and I’ll return your car to you.”
When Brandon heard that, he was stunned.
“What’s the matter? You’re not willing to?” Peter asked coldly.
“No… Not at all…”
Brandon quickly shook his head. He fished out his car keys and placed them in front of Peter.
“Alright, take your girlfriend away!” Peter said nonchalantly after taking Brandon’s car keys.
“Let’s go!”
Brandon looked at Mandy, May, and Lily with a resigned expression.
The three girls quickly stood up and prepared to leave with Brandon.
However, Peter suddenly shouted, “Who allowed you all to leave? I only allowed Brandon to take his girlfriend away, but the two of you are staying!”
May and Lily instantly became pale when they heard what Peter said. They looked at Brandon and Mandy in despair.
“Brandon, you… You can’t leave us here!” May wailed.
Brandon turned to glance at May before saying helplessly, “I have to even put my car to be pawned. I don’t have any spare cash to help you two. The two of you better think of a way yourselves!”
Brandon was never close with May and Lily, to begin with.
If he wanted to save the two of them, that would mean spending another one hundred thousand dollars. Brandon was not willing to suffer such a loss.
After Brandon finished talking, he dragged Mandy out of the private lounge with him.
May and Lily stood helplessly on their spots, and they had very ghastly expressions.
They did not expect Brandon to be heartless enough to leave the two of them behind.
“Do the two of you plan on spending some money to avoid disaster or do you plan on spending the night here with my little brother?”
Peter said while drinking beer and looking at them with a perverted gaze.
May had a sultry figure and amazing assets.
Moreover, she wore something very revealing today. The deep plunge top paired with a micro-miniskirt fully accentuated her sultry figure.
As for Lily, even though her figure was not as good as May’s, she had pretty good looks. She was one of the rare beauties at Porthampton University..
