Begging For A Reconciliation
Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Leah saw four young men approaching their table in front of the convenience store. They dressed likerascals and had hair of different colors. They had spanners and steel rods in their hands as theywalked toward Leah and Regina while teasing them.

They knew Regina since they called her name from far away.

Leah frowned when she saw them. The gangsters saw Leah as well. Leah’s expensive handbag andbeauty attracted their attention.

“Oh, Regina. Do you know this pretty girl? Is she a friend of yours in Colors?” The gangsters walkedtoward them, and one of them sat in an empty spot beside them while looking at Leah. He wanted toreach out and touch Leah’s face, but Leah moved away. She looked at the gangster with disgust. Hercold eyes were like Han’s.

The gangster was stunned and withdrew his hand.

“John Cox.” Regina looked away. It was obvious that she knew them.

Regina called the red-haired gangster who sat down John Cox.

John withdrew his hand and put a leg up on the bench while stretching his other leg outwards. Hegrinned and said, “Seems like you still remember me. After you went missing for such a long time, wethought you married into a rich family.”

The other three men laughed with him when he said that.

Regina glanced at Leah. She lowered her head and said timidly, “Sorry, John. I wasn’t hiding from youpurposely. I really don’t have enough money. When I have enough money, I’ll return it to you.”

“You said the same thing a month ago,” John chuckled and threw the spanner in his hand on the table.Regina was so scared that her body was shaking.

“Where’s the money now? I don’t see any money. I don’t care if you go and rob the bank, but I wantyou to return the money today!” John slammed the table and shouted.

The area wasn’t a peaceful one, so the convenience store owner was already used to gangstersappearing around his place. He took a peek because the noise was getting louder but he got veryscared and closed his shop immediately.

The place was remote and dark with only the streetlights and convenience store lighting the place. Itgot darker with the convenience store closed.

The cool autumn wind was blowing. Leah wrapped her arms around her body as she felt the chill.Regina was rendered speechless. Her lips were trembling, and she dared not lift her head.

Then, Leah asked, “How much money did she owe you?”

Her voice was clear and cold. John was stunned when he heard that, but he turned to look at Leahagain.

The woman in front of her seemed rich. However, he also knew some women who worked at Colorswould have a lot of savings. John assumed Leah was Regina’s colleague at Colors. It was impossiblefor someone like Regina to be friends with a woman from a rich family.

“40 thousand dollars.” John grinned and asked Leah, “Can you help her repay the money?” His smilewas evil, and he was looking at Leah’s body in a perverted way.

Leah frowned slightly. 40 thousand dollars wasn’t much for her, but she didn’t have that much moneywith her now. She needed some time to gather the money, and that was what she told John, “I don’t

have that much money with me. Give me one day’s time.”

Regina was shocked when she realized Leah was really going to help her repay the money, “Leah, Idon’t need your help. Leave me alone. Go.”

She didn’t want to get Leah involved in this matter.

Leah wanted to leave, but she knew Regina would be in a lot of trouble if she abandoned her.

“Shut up, Bitch. Who do you think you are?” John slammed the table and said to Leah, “One day?Sure. I’ll give you one day. Go to the workshop opposite the river tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for youthere.”

He pointed opposite the river. Leah looked in that direction and saw an abandoned workshop.

“I’ll be taking this woman away. Bring the money tomorrow, and you’ll get her back.” John said whiledragging Regina away from the bench.

Leah said calmly, “Promise me not to hurt her.”

“Don’t worry. I am a man after all. I know how to take care of a woman.” John tapped Regina’s cheeklightly and said with a grin.

Then, he looked at Leah sternly, “Just to be clear, if you dare call the police, I won’t guarantee thiswoman’s safety.”

Leah’s face went pale. She wanted to replace Ron. He was the boss of Linkville’s underworld. He wouldsolve this matter easily. However, doing that would be bad for Regina. She wouldn’t be able to resistthese gangsters if they were to harm her.

“Sure.” Leah stood up and replied with a nod.

Regina shot a glance at Leah and wanted to say something, but John took her away and left.

When they left, Leah called Serena. Serena was probably drunk and mumbled, “Where have youbeen? Why did you disappear suddenly?”

Leah knew it was useless to depend on Serena, so she could only figure out a way herself. She lookedaround the area and decided to walk along the river in the end.

Leah walked for half an hour before she arrived at a place recognized by the GPS. She took a taxi backto Colors and saw Serena drunk. They went back in a taxi.

Leah didn’t sleep well the whole night. She was hesitating whether to call the police or not.

The next morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes

Leah thought about it for a long time and decided to call Ron. “Ron, is it useful to call the cops if a loanshark is threatening me according to the underworld rules?” Leah asked without beating around thebush when Ron answered the call.
