A Promising Youth
Chapter 21 Bully Wants Debt
At this point Director Lau turned his head and stared indignantly at my family and said.
“I assume you are prisoners in custody? Now you slander others!”
Several policemen immediately surrounded my parents and brother. My mother, who was paralyzed with fear, fell to her knees at once and crawled towards me, saying.
“Matteo, I am sorry! I am sorry!” But I'm a woman, and I don't know what to do. Just spare me and them! We were wrong, we are wrong!”
“Asshole! It's no use begging anyone for mercy if you break the law!”
The police officer's eyes were red with anger and he pulled them right out the door.
A crisis finally came to an end. Jim, who was paralyzed on the floor, was dragged away, Carrie was so angry that she stomped on her high heels, saying as she walked away.
“I'm not going to give up on this project, wait and see!”
Director Lau came over, tapped me on the shoulder and said.
“Young man, I'm so sorry.”
After saying that, Director Lau left in shame, leaving only Clara and I. She held my arm.
“Matteo, I'm sorry. I had thought that you stole the formula”
“Sis, it's okay! Get to work, we only have three days to delivery, to we don't have much time.”
I squeezed a smile out of my face at her.
But that morning, just as we went to the workshop, the factory was in an uproar. The debtors Carrie had found were all blocking the entrance to the factory, preventing the workers from starting work, and threatening.
“Anyone who tries to move the machine will be killed!”
Once Clara showed up, they directly surrounded us with a very arrogant temper!
“Miss Clara, the term of your loan has already exceeded more than two months. It was not that I don’t give you face, but my money need to have money, right?”
A young man with a gold necklace and a big belly looked at Clara and said with a sneer.
“Bill, I know you have a hard time. Give me another week. When the factory is in normal running, I will pay it off with interest!”
Facing a group of strong men, Clara was scared, but still tried to be brave.
But Bill Watts, clutching his wallet, said with arrogance.
“Your factory is going to be over. What are you going to do to pay your debts?!”
