One hundred million! Golden asked for a hundred million!
'That means the money I'm earning today is gone in an instant,' she thought. 'Even though I got it all not easily. I had to spy on Sia to prove whether she had an affair or not, to make Alan break up with her. I also have to find out in detail anything Sia doesn't like.'
She pondered again, 'At least I have to work with Alan for a month. And the money's gone, the money I got by risking my life. I was caught spying on Sia at that woman's house once, and I was chased by Sia's housekeepers.'
It's still hard to let go of that much money. 'I will also use the money to pay for Hans' medical expenses, which have often been missed because I have to cover Aunt Arum's debt. Yesterday I just closed Aunt Arum's fifty million debt, and now it's a hundred million. The cause of the debt is the same, namely, Aunt Arum lost the gamble.'
"She lost the gamble at my place. My clients report that she is always absent from paying debts. She has to pay for it and today is her last deadline," said Golden.
If Luci gave all the money she had then she would lose the budget for Hans' hospital fees. How about this? But if she didn't pay it today then Hans would die.
It seemed that there was no point in running away from the responsibility of paying Aunt Arum's debt to Golden because if Luci didn't do that, there were three risks.
Namely Hans, Aunt Arum, and Luci herself. Surely Golden would kidnap one of them to threaten Luci. And what if the debt had an interest? Everything would only make things worse. Better get paid now and done.
"Here, I'll pay for it right now," said Luci, starting to hand over her backpack. In her heart, she prayed that the number was indeed a hundred million, nothing less, and nothing more.
Golden gave a code to one of his men who were behind the chair where Aunt Arum was sitting. The men then took Luci's backpack and took out all its contents on the table in front of Golden.
Aunt Arum glared. She didn't expect Luci to get that much money. even though it was already very late. Where did the girl get all that money from? As soon as Aunt Arum asked herself.
"Count!" Golden ordered his men.
The men nodded then walked towards a machine not far from Golden. Then the money was placed on the machine. The machine screen would show the amount of money that was being placed there. The money even amounted to more than a hundred million.
Golden raised an eyebrow then he gave another code to his men.
The subordinate nodded and put the remaining money into the backpack. Then the backpack was given to Luci again, tossed on the floor in front of Luci.
Golden smirked and coded again.
The subordinate holding the gun that had been preparing to shoot Hans nodded. He opened the room which was lined with very thick glass.
"You can take her out. And take him out too!" Golden ordered Luci who asked her to bring out Hans and Aunt Arum at once.
Luci grabbed her backpack and hurriedly pulled up the bed where Hans was lying. She was a little troubled but Luci could handle it.
"Take her out!" Golden ordered his men.
One of the men led the way to usher Luci out. The girl pushed the bed where Hans was lying unconscious. Aunt Arum followed behind Luci timidly.
After about fifteen minutes of walking, Luci was already outside the building. Turned out they took a detour because Luci didn't pass the club where people were cramming and partying earlier. Luci just passed through a long hallway that was dimly lit and somewhat dark.
The door behind Luci closed after Luci had come out. Even Golden's men who had escorted Luci earlier didn't say anything. He also didn't explain to Luci where they were exactly. even though Luci had to find her car.
Luci checked Hans' condition. In terms of breadth and pulse, it seemed that Hans was not in critical condition. Luci also turned to look at Aunt Arum.
"Auntie, do you know how we can get Hans out of here? I just drove a normal car here. The car won't fit Hans' bed," said Luci.
It wasn't the solution that Luci got, but a curt tone and ignorance from Aunt Arum.
"That's none of my business!" said Aunt Arum. Aunt Arum was a thin and short woman. The tiny Luci was still taller than her. The gray hair on Daniel's mother's hair was allowed to grow. Her skin was wrinkled here and there. Aunt Arum's age was about fifty years or maybe less.
"Can Auntie just care a little bit about Hans? I didn't ask Aunt to be nice to me. But at least please don't treat Hans like this," Luci asked with tears on her face.
"If I do that then you will live in peace. I don't want your life to be peaceful. I want to torture you until you die," threatened Aunt Arum.
The situation around them was now dim, with many buildings surrounding them. Trash cans were not far from them, which contained bottles of alcohol, syringes, contraceptives, and the vomit of drunken people.
Luci was almost in tears. How long would all this happen to him? Until when Aunt Arum would hate her and hold a grudge against her.
"You killed my son and never forget about it! Forever I will haunt your life unless you can return my son." Aunt Arum left Luci. But before she left Luci the woman spat on Luci. The spit hit Luci's clothes.
Aunt Arum left. When she was nowhere to be seen, Luci slumped to the ground and wept. Why did all this happen to her? Why was everything like this?
If Luci could choose she would not want all of this to happen. She didn't want to kill Daniel, she regretted doing so.
In the past, Aunt Arum loved Luci so much because whatever Daniel loved would also be beloved by his mother, even then Daniel had almost proposed to her. So you can say how close and serious Luci and Daniel's relationship is.
Daniel was also the only man willing to accept Luci's past, who used to live on the street. Daniel was willing to accept Luci's shortcomings even though Luci was a child who graduated from a street children's shelter school.
Only Daniel was not shy when dating Luci, only Daniel was serious about having a relationship with Luci so that plans for marriage could be arranged. Even Daniel's family could bless and love Luci very deeply, something she never got from her other ex-boyfriend's family. Only Danie's family also accepted their relationship.
So far, all the families of her ex-boyfriends didn't like Luci. It was caused by Luci's background, who was none other than a child whose origins were unclear. Besides that, not all of her ex-boyfriends sincerely love Luci.
Some wanted to date Luci because they were after Luci's virginity. Luckily Luci was still able to take care of her. And now actually she always prepared her virginity only for Daniel, the man who now died because Luci killed him one year ago.
