Under the Heiress' Facade



Meanwhile, Everly endured the swelling and pain between her legs as she got off the bed to take a shower in the bathroom. The love bites all over her body made her cry while feeling aggrieved.

At that moment, she heard her phone emit a notification. It was a message from an unknown number. "Today is the deadline."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Everly immediately wiped her tears away before putting on her clothes. She cautiously exited the bathroom and saw Wade fast asleep on the bed. After picking up all the hundred-dollar bills scattered on the floor, she also took a bag of cash by the bedside before leaving.

One hour later, she arrived at the place where she had borrowed from the loan sharks. She set a handbag on the table. "Here's the money." "That's not even ten million dollars." Samuel sat on the chair while smoking a cigar.

Everly nervously gulped since she also had no idea how much was inside the bag. "You'll know once you've asked someone to count the bills."

Samuel turned to cast a meaningful glance at one of his henchmen standing behind him. The man got the message and took the money to put it through the counterfeit money detector.

Everly kept a close eye, watching them put the money through the counterfeit money detector. She feared that they might pull a trick or two. "Beware. This is a counterfeit bill." After going through 200,000 dollars, the counterfeit money detector suddenly emitted a warning.

The man poured all the money out of the bag and ran the bills through the counterfeit money detector. Aside from the 200,000 dollars earlier, the remaining were all counterfeit bills.

"How could that be?" Everly was shocked.

"Fucker! You tried to trick us!" The man threw the counterfeit bills in her face.

Everly ignored the sting on her face as she picked up the money scattered on the floor. She could feel the poor quality of the bills even without using the counterfeit money detector. All of these were definitely counterfeit bills.

That made her mind go blank. She had sold her body in exchange for counterfeit bills. How dare Wade do that to her!

"You must be very brave since you dare to even trick us! Bring me a knife! If we don't teach her a lesson today, she'll think we're a bunch of pushovers!" Samuel grabbed Everly by the hair and slapped her.

Everly trembled all over upon hearing the word "knife". She knelt on the ground and held Samuel's leg, begging desperately.

"I'm sorry! didn't know these were counterfeit bills! Someone tricked me! I beg you. Please give me. another week. Consider the 200,000 dollars as interest. I'll definitely pay you back in one week!"

Samuel kicked her aside. "Chop off one of her toes! Everly, I'll give you another month. It won't be that simple if you don't pay up by then!"

"No! No!" Everly screamed. No

matter how much she struggled, she

was no match for the strength of several men. Her left little toe was chopped off, resulting in her fainting right away from the pain.

When she came to, she found herself thrown into the alley outside the loan sharks' headquarters. Her left foot had been hastily bandaged to stop the bleeding.

Everly cried for a long time while blaming Hera and the Chimes. Once done, she wiped her tears away and called Wade. "Wade, all the money you gave me were counterfeit bills!"

"I gave you 200,000 dollars, which were all real bills. But how would I know about the money that I didn't give you?" Wade replied.

Everly choked. Was he implying that it served her right to take more than she should have?

"You once said that you would help me pay off my debts!" she answered through gritted teeth.

"Yes, I did promise you. But you've only slept with me for three nights. I paid you what I would a hostess at a nightclub, which is 50 grand a night.

"I gave you an extra 50 grand for

giving me your virginity. Others don't even get that amount. Be good, and don't be angry. As long as you're loyal to me, I'll help you pay back your debts."

Everly almost choked out of anger. Did he just call her a hostess at a nightclub? Was she really only worth 50 grand a night?

Out of anger, she ended the call. But she regretted doing so since there was nowhere else she could go.

She couldn't return to the Chimes, nor could she stay at a hotel since she had no money. Besides, her foot still hurt.

In the end, she decided to return to Forever Clinic to tend to her wound. But as she arrived at the clinic, she was stopped by a few men dressed in black.

"Ms. Pierce, I'm the debt collector from Jadonia Herbs. It's time you paid the first installment," the leader said.
