Chapter 1010
Wayne was pissed off. These jerks, trying to mess with Paige, even had the nerve to target his home.
Luck had it that his little girl wasn’t home at the time. If they’d scared his daughter, he wouldn’t give a damn whose
kin they were. He’d make sure they’d do more than a mere
week in the cooler.
“Baillie will sort it out. They won’t mess with Paige again,” Wayne said.
By evening
Davin and the rest were let out, faces covered in grime and looking like they’d been dragged through the mud. No
one was there to pick them up.
Davin uttered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta profanity in frustration. He distinctly remembered almost coughing up blood from Baillie’s kick. But after a check-
up, there was nothing wrong. Yet the pain he felt was real.
“Hunny, Peyton didn’t come to pick us up!”
Davin was fuming, with no place to vent his anger.
“They screwed us over! We can’t let them off the hook, they need to pay us back double! They owe us for
emotional distress!”
“Right! They owe us for emotional distress! Does anyone know where Paige’s company is?”
“It’s the construction site Davin showed us last time, I remember the address!” Someone quickly chimed in.
“Let’s roll! We’ll kick up a fuss, let’s see if she’d rather pay up or embarrass herself!”
The group was ready to call a cab. But then, two vans pulled up in front of them.
“Wow, a Mercedes!”
Before they could react, a man stepped out of the car, gave them a once-over: “Which one of you is Davin?”
Davin was taken aback, then asked, “Who are you guys?”
“You want morey, right? My boss sent me to pick you up, to discuss the matter,” the man said.
“Grant?”
The man didn’t answer, he seemed impatient, “I’m in a hurry, are you in or out?”
“We’re in!”
Peyton’s wife quickly replied. Hearing that Grant had gathered the money, they were ready to settle. No matter
how this affair would be dealt with, getting the money was the main priority.
The vans sped down the city’s wide roads. The surroundings gradually became desolate.
The folks in the car started to realize something was off.
“Hey, where are we going? Isn’t this about paying us? Where are we heading to negotiate?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe driver up front ignored them. With a jerk of the wheel, the car suddenly swerved. Everyone in the car tumbled
over, huddling together in fright.
“Hunny, something’s not right!” Peyton’s wife said nervously.
Davin also knew they might’ve been duped.
“Don’t panic, we’ve got numbers, we can handle two drivers.”
Just as he finished, the driver slammed on the brakes.
Peyton’s face smashed into the back of the seat. His nose was gushing blood.
“Oh my god! Hunny, your nose is bleeding!” Peyton’s wife shrieked.
Before they could react, the car door was yanked open.
“All of you, out!”
“Do you know how to drive?!” Davin yelled.
But his attention was drawn outside. It was almost completely dark. In his line of sight, there was a giant factory.
Clearly, the factory was abandoned. In the sunset atmosphere, it looked particularly eerie and chilling.
